Asa

Marked Men Series – Book 6

By Jay Crownover

Release Date : April 21, 2015

Synopsis

Jay Crownover’s New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues with the much anticipated story of southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.

Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.

Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.

A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

Michel’s Review

Asa is the bittersweet end of the Marked Men Series by Jay Crownover.  Although it is the ending of the series it is also the beginning of Asa Cross.  It is his time to grasp a new life and earn the trust and loyalty of those he loves.  It’s his chance to prove he can be an honorable man worthy of love.

We met Asa in the second book of the Marked Men series.  He was not a good man. He was a criminal, a con man, a liar, and a thief.  Everyone he came in contact with he screwed over, including his only family, his sister Ayden.  Throughout the series we have watched Asa reach rock bottom and claw his way out of the gutter.  In a near death experience that left him physically incapacitated became the turning point in his life.  His sister Ayden and her friends took Asa in, showed him the true meaning of friendship, and taught him how to become a decent human being.  Rome saw a broken soul that needed mending, it just took a little trust.  Now Royal is seeing a man she could love forever.

An ex con and a cop.  It shouldn’t work but it does.  Royal sees the good in Asa.  She respects the man he has become.  Asa sees the damaged little girl in Royal and gives her the acceptance she has always craved.

Asa was a beautiful ending for the Marked Men series.  It truly portrayed the true meaning of love, friendship, and respect.

Although the Marked Men series has ended there is still more to come from our favorite characters in the new series, The Saints of Denver, which will feature new friends and fellow artist.  I can’t wait.

Read the Marked Men Series by Jay Crownover.  It is one of my all time favorite series!
