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?
Every time that I think that Jay can not possibly improve on her last inked hottie she proves me wrong. I was completely sure that noone would take over the spot that was Ruled by Rome (see what I did there? ;) ), but Nash waltzed his hot ass in and completely unthroned him. I am in love with Nash Donovan.
Nash was dealt a real shit hand in the parent lottery. His mother was a real piece of work, more concerned with money and appearances than her own son. His step father was even worse. And his birth father, MIA for his entire life. The only person who was ever a real parental figure to him was his Uncle, who is now VERY ill. Nash was so broken and beat down dealing with everything that was piled on his shoulders when Saint waltzed into his life for the third time.
Saint was pretty broken herself. Years of torment from her peers, and herself left her very bitter about a lot of things. Some things that maybe didn't happen exactly like she thought they did. They also left her with a pretty tough and impenetrable shell. One that Nash is pretty determined to break through.
I absolutely loved the back and forth between Nash and Saint. There were a ton of times that I thought that for sure there was no way that they would work. But, time and again, I was proven wrong. Something in the dynamic they had was completely palpable. I could feel the tension of years of yearning and second guessing. The misunderstandings that they had were hard to read about but in the end all of the hardships that they helped each other understand and overcome made their relationship so much deeper than that of so many romance novel couples.
I'm completely in love with Nash and I have a little bit of a girl crush on Saint. The growth that they went through together made this so much more than just a love story. The devastation that was experienced made it that much more meaningful. This was just a really beautiful story of love and loss and becoming more than what people think you are. I love love love this book, and Jay!
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...
