My Rating:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the second installment in the Saints of Denver series featuring a bad girl and a by the book attorney who could be her salvation...or her ruin.Avett Walker and Quaid Jackson’s worlds have no reason to collide. Ever. Quaid is a high powered criminal attorney as slick as he is handsome. Avett is a pink-haired troublemaker with a bad attitude and a history of picking the wrong men.
When Avett lands in a sea of hot water because of one terrible mistake, the only person who can get her out of it is the insanely sexy lawyer. The last thing on earth she wants to do is rely on the no-nonsense attorney who thinks of her as nothing more than a nuisance. He literally has her fate in his hands. Yet there is something about him that makes her want to convince him to loosen his tie and have a little fun…with her.
Quaid never takes on clients like the impulsive young woman with a Technicolor dye job. She could stand to learn a hard lesson or two, but something about her guileless hazel eyes intrigues him. Still, he’s determined to keep their relationship strictly business. But doing so is becoming more impossible with each day he spends with her.
As they work side-by-side, they’ll have to figure out a way to get along and keep their hands off each other—because the chemistry between them is beyond charged.




   

And don’t miss the first titles in The Saints of Denver Series!

LEVELED      BUILT

When I first read Built, I wasn’t blown away. I liked it but it didn’t give me the same heart feels like the Marked Men Series. Charged however, changed all that. It brought me back to the world I fell in love with when first reading a Jay Crownover book, but it also felt fresh and new.


Charged takes place during the same timeline of Built. We come back to Quaid Jackson, the lawyer that trying to get with Sayer. Quaid comes off as arrogant and showy in Built. This shows a different side of the man that made something of himself out of his nothing past. The lawyer exterior that we get to see is just a mask for deeper issues that he isn’t prepared to deal with. That is until Avett Walker becomes his client. 

I couldn’t wait for Avett to get her own book. She was a saving point from Jay’s previous book Asa. Avett isn’t your typical bad girl. Again, like Quaid, her outside actions are results of deeper turmoil. And I think because of this, the attraction between these two was undeniable. Avett, getting arrested because of the actions of her junkie boyfriend landed her behind bars. This was her rock bottom.

What I loved most about this was that even though Avett hit her bottom and was determined to change things around, it didn’t happen instantly for her. This had a lot of romance in it but it also is a story about redemption for both Avett and Quaid. Both trying to find their way back to people they were previously.

Not only was there romance, there was also mobster action! I loved the fun addition of that. It felt like I was watching a movie instead of reading a book. This was ten times better than I anticipated.

Even though the characters appear in previous books, you can read this as a standalone.
