Review: Avenged by Jay Crownover
SYNOPSIS:
New York Times bestselling author Jay Crownover brings heat and heart to Liliana Hart’s MacKenzie family with AVENGED…
Girl meets boy…
On the worst night of her life when she’s decided to take a drastic step that there is no going back from.
Girl is used to sitting by, letting fate deal cruel hand after cruel hand to good people with soft hearts and she’s had enough.
Girl thinks it’s time to fight back against fate and against men who aren’t careful with all the precious things a woman in love has to give him.
Fate shows girl who’s boss and turns her world and plans upside down without breaking a sweat.
Boy meets girl…
On the best night of his life when he’s decided that he’s going to make moves to be the man he was always meant to be instead of the man he was trained and conditioned to be.
Boy is used to a solitary life, quiet in the woods and knowing the only thing that might be looking for him is trouble and trouble is no longer his stock in trade.
Boy thinks it’s time to show trouble who’s boss, even if this trouble has big blue eyes and a body made to make men stupid. Trouble only gets the upper hand if the boy falls prey to its temptation.
Trouble turns the boy’s quiet, serene life sideways without any effort.
Trouble is fun and fate has a wicked sense of humor when it comes to this boy meeting this girl.
REVIEW:
This crossover novella was the best of all worlds! I get a little bit of The Point, I get a little bit of The Marked Men, I get a little bit of the Saints of Denver, and I get a whole lot of swoon, honestly whats not to love here?! This crossover was a deliciously quick read that had me grinning from ear to ear with every cameo and surprise name drop that hit me straight in the feels.
It felt good to get back into Jay’s writing. I took a little break from her last year and now she is reading like a new to me author. A refreshing narrative that isn’t afraid to dive down into the dark, seedy underworlds. The couple was ridiculously adorable and even though it was only a novella, I felt like in the short time the characters really did get to know each other.
There was plenty of drama and how could there not be when my favorite Devil in a suit shows up. But the drama and tension doesn’t overshadow the love story and all in all it was the perfect balance of all of Jay’s worlds. Honestly, if you are a fan of Jay’s writing, just add this to your TBR.
