Blog Tour Review: Nash – Jay Crownover

Will their past determine their future?

Saint Ford has worked hard to achieve her childhood dream of becoming of nurse. Focused on her work and devoted to her patients, there’s no room for love. She doesn’t need a guy making waves in her calm, serene life—especially when he’s the unforgettable hottie who nearly destroyed her in high school. Dark, brooding Nash Donovan might not remember her or the terrible pain he caused. But he turned her world upside down . . . and now he’s trying to do it again.

Saint has no idea that Nash isn’t the cocky player he once was. Uncovering a devastating family secret has rocked his world, and now he’s struggling to figure out his future. He can’t be distracted by the pretty nurse he seems to meet everywhere. Still, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them —or how she seems so desperate to get away from him. But the funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous Saint is far too amazing to give up on—especially since she’s the only thing in his life that seems to make sense.

When Nash discovers the truth about their past, he realizes he may have lost her heart before he could even fight for it. Now, Saint has to decide: is Nash worth risking herself for all over again?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Jay Crownover has done it again with her newest book in the Marked Men series Nash, which chronicles the story of sexy tattoo artist Nash Donovan and beautiful nurse Saint Ford.  The book is a standalone novel but I would highly recommend reading the rest of the series to get a background of all the players, and it’s a great set of books.  In the newest book Nash is dealing with a boatload of family drama and secrets in the midst of a real crisis.  Although he has his friends he finds himself leaning on Saint to help get him through his personal tragedy.  The only problem is that he knew Saint in high school, and his past actions may prevent him from having a future with a girl his is really starting to care for.

Jay Crownover has a gift of creating relatable characters that you can’t help but fall in love with.  Nash is a genuinely good guy who has been dealt a terrible hand who is just trying to make the best of a horrible situation.  He is honest to a fault and always tries to take the time to make Saint feel appreciated.  Saint is dealing with issues from her past and has worked hard to overcome everything that she is gone through.  I really admired her strength, although I did want to shake her a couple of times because she seemed stagnant with regard to her past issues.  I cannot say enough good things about this book; it was probably one of the best that I have read this year with the perfect combination of great characters and heat to keep the story going.

I’m supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I’m an natural redhead even though I haven’t seen my real hair color in years, I’m a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I’ve been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that. I love to write, love to read and all I’m interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something. Thanks for taking the time to check my stuff out…
