Nash audiobook

4 I ♥ Nash stars! It all started with a guy named Rule Archer. I was hooked. I love these Marked Men. Rule’s book was my absolute favorite, followed by Rome’s. As much as I love Nash and Jet, their women both drove me up the wall! There was so much I adored about this book. Nash was pretty much perfect. If Saint would have gotten her crap together a little quicker, it probably would have been a 5 star read for me. That being said, I still really enjoyed most of the book and you won’t want to miss reading about my boy Nash! Saint is a girl who appears to have it all. She’s got a job as an ER nurse that she loves, she’s beautiful and kind, but on the inside, her self esteem is very low. Saint wasn’t always as beautiful as she is now, and she still carries that around with her. Not to mention she has no real friends besides her sister, and after her father had an affair and left her mother, her family has fallen apart. Saint does the only thing she knows how to do to protect her heart, to not get hurt. She doesn’t let anyone in. People could only hurt you and disappoint you if you let them. They only had the power to hurt you in you thought they were special and above that. I didn’t let anyone touch my heart or emotions enough to risk that happening again... ever. 
Nash vaguely remembers Saint from high school. She was quiet, sweet and smart. Out of his league completely. He sees her now as the beautiful, caring and compassionate nurse taking care of Phil. Nash is going through a lot in his life. Phil is the only ‘parent’ he’s ever had, and now he’s losing him. Expanding the shop, dealing with family stuff. It’s a lot to take. Nash doesn’t know what to do. The only thing he does know, is that he wants Saint. She wants him too. In fact, he’s the only man she’s ever really wanted. Ever since high school. The only one that can truly make her feel. And that scares Saint to death. You see, there was a giant misunderstanding that happened back when Saint and Nash were kids and Saint has never really gotten over it. She’s never moved past it, and she’s finding it difficult to do now, even after all this time has passed. Nash has always been a good guy. I hate that Saint made him feel like he wasn’t for so long. I loved Nash and I felt protective over him. I didn’t like the way she treated him, but a part of me understood the struggle she was going through. Nash tried and tried to tell her how important she was, but she just couldn’t hear it. “All I can see is you. Why can't you understand that? No one shines as bright as you in the sky I'm looking at. To me there is no sun, no moon, and no stars in the sky, just endless miles of storm clouds and pretty, pretty gray." To move forward in her life, she’s got to learn to take a chance, to give Nash a chance, and most importantly, find it in herself to let go of the past. To embrace who she is and love herself. “The person that should be surprising is you, Saint. Trust me, the person you are is remarkable and exceptional. If you get acquainted with her, your entire life will change.” She just looked at me like she had no idea what I was saying, but I felt better having said it. I would love her unconditionally if she let me, but in order to do that I had to get her to love herself fully, first.” As painful as it was to read, some of my favorite scenes in this book were those between Phil and Nash. Yes. I shed a few tears. I loved the advice Phil was always giving Nash. He was able to get Nash to see and really admit those feelings he had for Saint. To convince him to fight. “There is no falling. You fell. She’s got you and there is no getting loose from that. So she’s guarded, so she’s hard to figure out . . . did you stop to think maybe the reason you like her, that she matters, is because she isn’t easy like all the rest” Nash was wonderful. Saint had her moments, by the end I really did like her. I think if she would have got herself together a little quicker, she would have been a wonderful heroine. I didn’t get what took her so long. Why she couldn’t open her eyes and see the wonderful man right in front of her. I loved the fact that she was a nurse, and I loved her reaction to Nash’s many tattoo’s and body piercings... “Your dick is wearing jewelry.” Nash was frustrating at times, but it was a beautiful story of finding yourself, accepting who you are and what you deserve and ultimately, finding love. It’s another winner from the Marked Men series. After seeing a little sneak peak into Rowdy’s book, I’m very much looking forward to his story!!!

Oh hey another Jay Crownover book.... Clearly y'all forgot to tell me about this....Okay. Thats how it is huhp.s that's my 'i feel left out' face above

4 stars I actually liked this one better than the last one. I was apprehensive to start it because, almost all the reviews agreed on the fact that the female character was too insecure, and the cause of all her insecurities was too insignificant to warrant such deep rooted feelings of low self-esteem. Now, while I agree that she was indeed very insecure, even annoyingly so, and the male lead was the one to pursue her and be very committed from the start, I did not like her any less for it, quite the opposite.I loved her character. Insecurity did not translate into incompetence or stupidity at any point in the book. I think that during our so called developmental years and especially during adolescence, our experiences do determine our immediate reactions to the future and how we see ourselves. Some people move past the issues, that perhaps marked them, quicker than others. Some are lucky to grow up in households that encourage open communication and foster a positive attitude towards their sense of self, while others need to work on that by themselves over time. And I think this was the case with the heroine. I understand the reviews but I don’t agree with them. Insecurity is like a disease and it can be chronic if it’s not addressed. I think the issue here was that, the reason for which she developed her skewed sense of self was perceived as trivial and therefore she is seen as weak for not getting over it. In my opinion tho, if someone already has a fragile, shy personality and if they are deeply hurt by the words of someone they cared about, that leaves a mark, and so I don’t fault her. Everyone has their own speed and journey and I don’t think her weak at all. I actually believe Nash to be as insecure although not in the same way as her. It also took him a long time to see himself as worthy because his mother basically disowned him. Just because his insecurity was not in a physical sense that does not mean it’s not there. This is yet another book where I see how easy it is to hate on the heroine for not being perfect. For not falling for the male lead’s proclamations of love without a seconds thought. Male characters get away with so much in books and this is a scenario where it’s the heroine who needs healing and understanding and the hero is the one who needs to show her she can be loved and she deserves to be loved. Anyway, the story is good. Again, nothing extraordinary but I did like both characters and it was nice to see how their relationship developed.

I adored this book. I knew I'd love Nash and I was not disappointed. For me this is still not on a par with Rule but it's pretty damn close. Certainly better than Jet or Rome. Incredibly hot scenes intertwined with achingly sweet and emotionally provocative scenes written beautifully. It's a winner. Read it!! Want want want! is the one I've been waiting for. I think this will be the one to match Rule for me.

How is this my first Jay Crownover book??? Damn, I was seriously missing out. Now to go back and read the others :)

Nash is not the same person he was as a boy. Back then, he wanted his mom's acceptance and acted out to get her attention. Saint knew and was affected by him in high school, not always in a good way, but not everything was what it seems. They meet again as adults after Rome, Nash's close friend, lands himself in the hospital where she is a nurse. Though there is an obvious attraction, there is a giant shadow of hurt that dulls it on Saint's end. The attraction won't go away and as they are thrust together more often, they have to work through the past to open themselves up to a future. I enjoyed the story though being inside Saint's head could be frustrating sometimes. She was understandingly insecure at first but took a while to really accept that Nash cared for her. On the other hand, she seemed to almost morph and flourish when she was working or trying to support her new friends. I was happy Nash was able to reconcile his relationships with his parents though it wasn't easy to do. The emotion was done well. Them as a couple worked but I didn't warn up to Saint right away. The sex was kind of a mess at first but eventually gets better as they grow closer. All in all a good read. Safety: No OW/Sharing, despite the appearance to the contrary. h goes on a date with a OM to please her boss/friend. Nothing physical happens. No rape. No physical abuse. There is bullying/emotional abuse.
