You can check out her Friday Favorite here.
We decided this summer to take few months to highlight a few of our favorites authors. This week are so excited to shine the spotlight on the one and only …
Jay Crownover
Jay’s first book, Rule (Marked Men #1), was my first ever New Adult novel and I became obsessed. Her books are full of heart wrenching emotion, flawed real characters, loss, love, hope, passion, and lots of smexy tattooed boys. Since that first book, Jay has grown as a writer and her books have found themselves on the New York Best Sellers list and have been added to the bookshelves of my heart (cheesy but I LOVE them!). The more I read by her the more I love her writing and characters. The Marked Men series is incredible and she is about to launch a new series into the world, The Welcome to the Point series, with the upcoming release of Better When He’s Bad! We have been able to read this book already and CAN NOT wait for the world to meet this new set of characters. Take a look at her books below, complete with Goodreads and purchase links. For more about Jay and to see what she is up to, check out her social media links.

—- The Marked Men Series —-
This is an incredible series about a tight knot group of people who have created a family that will do whatever needs to be done for those they care about. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s full of drool worthy tatted up bad boys! Check out the series below.
Rule (Marked Men #1) Amazon * Goodreads
Opposites in every way . . . except the one that matters.
Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a straight–A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn’t want–and the only person she’s never tried to please. She isn’t afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won’t listen.
To a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother’s girl. She lives by other people’s rules; he makes his own. He doesn’t have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she’s the only one who can see the person he truly is.
But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.

Jet (Marked Men #2) Amazon * Goodreads
With his tight leather pants and a sharp edge that makes him dangerous, Jet Keller is every girl’s rock and roll fantasy. But Ayden Cross is done walking on the wild side with bad boys. She doesn’t want to give in to the heat she sees in Jet’s dark, haunted eyes. She’s afraid of getting burned from the sparks of their spontaneous combustion, even as his touch sets her on fire.
Jet can’t resist the Southern Belle with mile-long legs in cowboy boots who defies his every expectation. Yet the closer he feels to Ayden, the less he seems to know her. While he’s tempted to get under her skin and undo her in every way, he knows firsthand what happens to two people with very different ideas about relationships.
Will the blaze burn into an enduring love. . . or will it consume their dreams and turn them to ashes?
___________________________________________________
Rome (Marked Men #3) Amazon * Goodreads
Sometimes the wrong choice can be just right . . .
Fun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep her tattooed “bad boy” friends at the Marked in line. But beneath all that flash and sass is a broken heart. Cora won’t let herself get burned again. She’s waiting to fall in love with the perfect man—a baggage-free, drama-free guy ready for commitment. Then she meets Rome Archer.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He’s stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he’s returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome’s used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, supersoldier—but none of those fit anymore. Now he’s just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the dark demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer through it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash of color in a sea of gray.Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly imperfect could just last forever . . .
___________________________________________________
Nash (Marked Men #4) Amazon * Goodreads
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?
___________________________________________________
Rowdy (Marked Men #5) Amazon * Goodreads
After the only girl he ever loved told him he would never be enough, Rowdy St. James knocked the Texas dust off his boots and decided he was going to do everything in his power to live up to his nickname. Life was all about a good time, good friends and never taking much too seriously. Rowdy learned his lesson early on, when you care that much about anything it can destroy you, and he never wants to risk feeling like that again. Only now he has a new coworker, a ghost from the past who’s making him question every lesson he ever learned.
Salem Cruz grew up in a house with too many rules, too many regulations, and no fun allowed. That never worked for her so she left it all behind as soon as she could, but she never forgot the sweet, blue-eyed boy next door who’d been in love with her little sister. Fate and good intentions from an old friend have placed her right in Rowdy’s path and she’s determined to show him he picked the wrong sister all those years ago. A mission that is going along perfectly until the one person that ties them together shows up and could very well tear them back
—- The Welcome to the Point Series —-
The first book in Jay’s new series is about to rock the world. It will be available on June 17, 2014. Take a look at the synopsis below and a little teaser (make sure to check Jay’s blog for more teasers). Make sure to pre-order your copy today!
Better When He’s Bad (Welcome to the Point #1) Amazon * Goodreads
Welcome to the Point
There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad . . . meet Shane Baxter.
Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way.
Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced.
Bax terrifies her, but it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize that some boys are just better when they’re bad.

informative. I am going to watch out for brussels. I will appreciate
if you continue this in future. A lot of people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
hey thеre ɑnd thank you ffor your into – I’ve certainly piϲked
up something new from right here. I did however expertisе some technical points
using thhis site, since I experienced to reⅼoad the web site a lot of times previous to I
could get it tto load properⅼy. I had been wondering if
your hosting is OK? Not thаt I’m complaining, but sluggish loading instancs times will very fгequently affect your placement in google
and can damage your high-quality scpre if adss aand marketing witһ Adwords.
Anyway I’m adding this RSS to myy email and could look oout for a lot mߋre of
your гespective exciting content. Make sure
you update this again soon.
Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I to
find It really helpful & it helped me out much. I’m hoping to offer one
thing again and aid others such as you aided me.
There is also a tutorial on her blog to extend the tank into a dress.
Care to follow me there? 6 is that I don’t care much for the romance
aspect of that book. It’s so much nicer than a mere link list.
You can find and add blogs to your list very easily.
I updated my profile shot (way overdue)
and cleaned up the look with some nice social media icons at
the top right instead of a mismatched list of links. In related news, I updated the
blog’s masthead with pretty pretty fall colors and a
cinnamon stick. In other news, I’m working on the Princess Pea
pattern and having a blast with all the tiny wild haired princesses and their lumpy
beds. It includes a dress length option within the pattern. I purchased the Tiny Pocket Tank
pattern from Grainline and made a few, and then became curious about how the fit compared
to the Wiksten Tank pattern. Darts in the Grainline bodice make for a nice curve around
the bust. Grainline’s pattern (sizes 0-18) features darts in the front
bodice and a handy technique to achieve smooth and professional looking bias-bound necklines and armholes (which is
also featured as a tutorial on her blog).
For newest news you have to pay a visit web and on the web I found
this web site as a best web page for most up-to-date updates.
