Better When He’s Brave audiobook

*** 3.5 Stars!!!***This was my least favourite out of the three books in this series...The thing is though, I was very distracted with “real life stuff” going on so that could have some thing to do with it?! I’m still eager to continue on to the next series which will take place in the same town and feature the secondary characters that were in this series!I have a feeling that the next series is going to be even better than this one!!!

4 stars! “I've been fighting every single day of my life. Sometimes I think all I have left is fight.” Finally got around to reading this one! I've been enjoying The Point series and this book didn't disappoint. Titus is a character I've been intrigued about since the first book and I am so glad he got his own story.Better When He's Brave is about bad girl Reeve and good guy cop Titus. Reeve has made some horrible mistakes that she feels she can never atone for, but she's going to try her damn hardest. In doing this she goes to Titus for help to bring down the local big bad, and the two of them come up with a plan to bring him down. “I will make THIS worthwhile. I will make THIS enough until we can tackle more. THIS matters, whatever it is, and for now THIS is everything, okay?” This was the first book in the series where I really felt the grit of The Point. I feel like Reeve and Titus' perspectives showed The Point in a new light and it wasn't a good one. I also loved the angst of the relationship between the two, the girl being bad and the boy fighting that. The beginning of the book was a bit slow but about a third of the way in it picked up speed and I couldn't put it down.This book can be read as a standalone but I recommended reading the first two books in the series as you will gain better insight into the characters and their motivations. “Love can really look strange in the Point. In fact, if you aren't paying attention you might miss it altogether because it doesn't look like love at all.”

Better When He's Brave is a police romance story. In Miss Crownover, the story is alives with twist and turn. The hero is broody, brave and sexy. Titus is his name. While the heroine is sexy, damsel in distress and feminin. Do I like the story? Overall the characters, plot and chemistry is a good combination. 4 stars

Happy belated book birthday!Amazon US -> http://amzn.to/1DhWb0b A thrillingly intense, seductively addicting, keep me on the edge of my seat read about a woman looking for atonement, a man determined to save his city and the attraction neither can ignore. "The cop and the sexy criminal with the heart of gold." Titus King has dedicated his life to uphold the law, to protect the citizens of the city known as The Point, one of “the most dangerous and corrupt cities in the world.” But with the demise of the city’s underground overlord, a new evil force has declared war and vengeance on everyone involved, collateral damage welcomed. Can detective King keep the lines between good and bad firmly in place while he tries to protect the lives of the people he loves or will he walk in a gray area when he combines forces with the only person who can help bring down the cruel and ruthless criminal? "Some men wanted to watch the world burn. Titus was a man that wanted to put out all the flames single-handedly from inside the blaze. He was so beautiful...built like an impenetrable bastion...so tall and wide that it seemed like nothing would ever be able to break its way inside of him. He was everything a man should be." Reeve Black had run away from her bad choices, but living with the guilt is something she can’t keep on doing and the only logical choice takes her straight to the heart of a city steeped in vicious violence and into the arms of the only man she can trust to save it and help redeem herself. She grew up in The Point, lost her sister to its brutality, she knows the risks and the danger she’s putting herself in, but together Titus and Reeve will find the bravery to confront the threat and hopefully be left standing to embrace the love that has grown between them. "I had to do something not motivated by my own selfish desires and my own burning need for payback and revenge against the cruel injustices I knew this place was capable of doling out...Hiding was for the weak...The Point was going to war and I was about to become the advantage that the good guys were going to need if they wanted any chance of being able to hold their own.” This book about a man with inner demons but a clear cut vision of right and wrong is full of anarchy, men who make their own rules, and a romance that develops between black and white areas which is a dangerous place to be for homicide detective Titus King’s heart. It’s harsh but provocative. It captured my attention with its violent and suspenseful prologue. Kept me engaged with its characters who are forced to make difficult decisions in order to survive all the while trying to guess why, how and when the villain would strike next while enjoying its racy sexiness and smiling with the sweet relationship developing between its protagonists. “My beast made of gentleness and compassion was made to fit perfectly against his beast made of hardness and fight. I really liked Reeve, it was impossible not to. She’s strong and brave and owned her decisions. And even if she had made decidedly wrong choices before she ultimately put her life on the line in order to put away (or down) a former lover who had for years disguised himself as a good guy but was pure evil underneath and was wreaking pain and destruction everywhere. All the while trying care for the man she loves and admires but who she feels is too good for her. “She was going to be my downfall. She was going to be my corruption and my vice. She was going to be my addiction and my compulsion and I was still going to fall headlong into her knowing the landing was going to be rough for both of us.” Having to pretend to be head over heels for an untrustworthy woman who doesn’t share his moral code while actually being attracted to her is something I could understand Titus having trouble with. What took a while for me to appreciate was the depth of his inner struggle. But Reeve saw him to his core and not just accepted him, she wanted more. Once Titus saw past her surface he was all in and I loved how they suited each other perfectly. “You are it for me. You get all the parts of me. You make me feel like I can just be me, not a cop, not a big brother, not a hero, not a savior… just a man. A man that has his good and bad parts.” Their relationship is a difficult one because on the surface he was good and she was bad, they were complete opposites. But Jay has an incredible ability to develop complex and addicting characters that can’t be defined so simply. They’re all shades of gray and I loved both their journeys. For Titus accepting that his roots did not define him and for Reeve knowing that she was worthy and could still make good choices. “Beyond her bad choices, which had been fueled by grief, she was an amazingly good woman. She had a hard heart with a soft center.” The more I read about the Point, the more it feels like a Gotham-ish kind of place and in this particular book the hero wasn’t a vigilante dressed up like a bat but a sexy, badass officer of the law who’s dedicated his life to serve and protect. Having Bax and Dovie, as well Race and Bryse, Booker and Nassir back was the perfect complemented to the plot. And even though the bad guy deserved to be killed dead, he provided an interesting tangled web that kept me on edge wanting to inhale the story. I love reading emotionally charged books, and Jay knows how to wield her keyboard and create alluring descriptions that provoke feelings ranging from anger to happiness, from guilt and shame to respect and honor, from hate to desire. It’s was easy to get lost in this story, all her previous ones and I'm the ones to come. I can’t wait for the next one. "Bonds created in the worst circumstances, love forged in the fire, were bound to shine brighter and last longer than feelings that weren’t put to the test.” Better when he’s Brave is book #3 in the Welcome to the Point series by Jay Crownover. It is a standalone, full-length, thrilling romance filled with scorching hot scenes, violence and lots of emotional turmoil. Told from both points of view, with interconnecting characters from previous books in the series, with a happy ending. 4.5 starsAmazon US -> http://amzn.to/1DhWb0bOther quotes I loved: "He tasted like he looked, strong, sure, and potent. He tasted like righteousness and honor. Redemption and repentance. He tasted like goodness, and I didn't think there was any way I was going to get enough of it."___________________________“I wanted to manhandle him with softness, rough him up with tenderness, love him up until he was breathless and boneless under light touches and barely-there kisses. I wanted to kill him with kindness.” * I was graciously given an ARC of this book courtesy of the author via HarperCollins.

Yeah. I started reading this one evening and I just never stopped. It kept me turning pages until 4AM. I needed to know every detail so I just kept reading.Why?The characters. I adore both main characters, Reeve and Titus. Both of them come from impossible situations and have crazy awful choices to make. They live in a bad place but it's part of them and leaving just isn't a choice. While this story is far from my reality and it's larger than life, it spoke to me. These characters felt real. And they are drawn to each other. They shouldn't be. He's the cop. She's the criminal. He fights his attraction. She hides hers. Then they need each other to make things right. And they try to resist. Yeah...about that. It was perfect. There is a fine point where giving in too soon ruins the story and waiting too long makes the reader crazy. This one was perfect. I can't really explain more without spoiling but just know that it's perfect.I said this story is larger than life and it is. Lots of things were like, really? But you need to just go with it. It's fiction. It's entertaining and satisfying. It may not always be law abiding but it's got it's own type of justice.I read the first book in this series but not the second. I think all of them can stand alone. The author does a good job of getting the reader up to speed on the back story without boring us. I'd love to find time to go back and read book two and I'm wondering about book four. These books are raw and sexy. They are this author unleashed. If that's your kinda book, then you need this one and this series.

Titus is the law in a city that has become pretty lawless. He believes in right and wrong even when it meant sending his own brother to jail. When Reeve returns to the Point, the attraction between them can’t be denied but Reeve has been on the wrong side of Titus’s right.Reeve is a nice person who has made some really bad life choices in her quest for vengeance and now she has to face the consequences. When a bad element makes it self known in the point, Reeve decides she wants to help. Reeve now must prove that she is the good person to herself and those around her.The cop and criminal, both needing something missing in their lives, Better When He’s Brave is the story of Reeve and Titus finding that something.Life in the Point is dark and intense and definitely not for the light hearted reader.I found Better When He’s Brave to be suspenseful, packed full of plenty of romantic steam while still managing to balance the action, love and real life drama. The characters are genuine and their plight heartfelt but the overall tone was a little to dark and the topics they face to cringe worthy for me.I received this ARC copy of better When He's Brave from William Morrow Paperbacks in exchange for a honest review.

Titus!!! Big Sigh!!! He is one HOT COP!!! NOT I Repeat Not a story you want to miss!!!

Titus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

La mia recensione qui ---> http://www.leggereromanticamente.com/...Love Forever è il terzo autoconclusivo romanzo della serie ambientata a The Point, il famigerato quartiere malavitoso che la Crownover si diverte particolarmente ad utilizzare come ambientazione, ma i suoi protagonisti principali li abbiamo già incontrati nei libri precedenti. Aspettavo infatti con ansia la storia di Titus King, ma avevo paura di rimanere delusa per via della protagonista femminile. Il detective e la criminale è una coppia improbabile che promette fuoco e fiamme, ma non si può certo scordare che la criminale in questione aveva tradito Dovie mettendone a repentaglio la vita! I miei dubbi erano quindi giustificati, così come quelli dei protagonisti secondari, per nulla contenti del ritorno di Reeve, ma l'autrice è riuscita a farmela piacere lo stesso. Reeve Black è una bellissima ragazza cresciuta a The Point, ha visto la sorellina minore morire per colpa di brutti giri, e in seguito ha fatto delle scelte sbagliate animata dalla vendetta. Ma chi a The Point non ha mai fatto degli errori? Titus è il fratellastro di Bax, un uomo imponente, affascinante e rude che ha scelto di diventare poliziotto per provare a ripulire The Point. Si dimostra in più occasioni una persona altruista a cui viene spontaneo prendersi cura delle persone, ma allo stesso tempo possiede un lato oscuro che solo raramente lascia intravedere. Quella di Titus e Reeve si è rivelata una coppia ben riuscita nonostante gli scrupoli iniziali. La collaborazione tra i due ha inizio per tentare di incastrare un federale corrotto, ma il loro rapporto è destinato ad evolvere velocemente. L'autrice ha incastrato alla perfezione queste due complesse personalità, che scopriamo poco alla volta e attraverso i rispettivi punti di vista in prima persona. Ho rivalutato molto Reeve nel corso del romanzo, un tipo come Titus aveva proprio bisogno di un tipetto tosto e coraggioso come lei! La tensione sessuale che traspare è molto alta fin dalle prime pagine, Titus ci prova anche a resistere all'attrazione per Reeve, ma immaginate come andrà a finire … Diaciamo che questi due sono una coppia particolarmente FOCOSA! Il romanzo è un concentrato di situazioni pericolose, spietate e ad alto tasso di criminalità, che vedono coinvolti anche i personaggi dei primi due libri. Nulla di nuovo, insomma, a The Point va sempre a finire così in un modo o nell'altro e non si può mai stare tranquilli.La Crownover ha già iniziato a spianare la strada per la sua prossima storia legata a The Point, quella su Nassir e Honor, già prevista nei prossimamente della casa editrice Newton (Evviva!). A me lo stile scorrevole e intrigante della Crownover continua a piacere e, seppure non sia una patita di romance legati alla malavita, non riesco comunque a staccarmi da queste sue storie!Lettura consigliata a chi è alla ricerca di un romanzo che mischia suspense, criminalità e sensualità allo stato puro!Punto di vista: prima persona alternataSensualità: scene hot presenti, alta tensione sessualeCaratteristiche: pericoloso, sensualeStile narrativo: scorrevoleTipo di finale: autoconclusivo
