BOOK REVIEW: Rule (Marked Men #1) by Jay Crownover

Rule (Marked Men #1) by Jay Crownover
Genres: New Adult, Contemporary Romance
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
I had loved Rule Archer since the first moment I ever laid eyes on him. He was everything I shouldn't want and the only person I went out of my way to not try and please. He only saw me as a brat, and an entitled, stuck up princess but worse than that all he saw when he looked at me was his deceased twin's girl. It broke my heart because as much as I had loved Remy Archer there was never anything romantic between us and no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that loving Rule was a terrible idea, my poor heart just wouldn't listen. We tolerated each other, barely and had forged an uneasy alliance until one night I had too much to drink and changed the way we were forever. Suddenly life long secrets were no longer hidden and the one thing I always wanted for myself seemed obtainable as long as I was willing to go through hell to hold onto it.

Shaw Landon was a class act and I had no idea what to do with her. She was tied to my family, tied to the person that was my other half so I tolerated her and her haughty attitude when I didn't have any other choice. What I didn't know was that a short skirt and too many cocktails on her birthday was going to change my outlook on her for the rest of my life. Some people thought I hid behind all my tattoos and piercings, that I tried to distance myself from my dead twin, Shaw saw through it all and wasn't scared of what was underneath. We weren't supposed to be together, weren't supposed to be anything but uncomfortable acquaintances but that all changed in the blink of an eye. Now I had to figure out just how a girl like her and a guy like me were supposed to be in love without destroying each other. Add in her custom made ex and two disapproving sets of parents and the whole situation sounded like it was more trouble then it was worth.




  
My Thoughts

I read this last year, and whenever someone ask me What's my top 3 favorite book for 2012- This is in my list. :-)

Rule..
Rule..
Rule..
sigh... How can I describe him without fanning myself?  

Rule is about a guy named Rule Archer.  He's like the blacksheep in the family. A bad boy, tattoo artist, sexy and pierced everywhere... *ahem!* He's a female magnet, but treated them like crap.

Shaw our heroine has been in love with Rule since she was young, but Rule never noticed her. She's an uptight rich girl- exactly opposite from Rule.

Shaw and Rule don't get along very well- But every Sunday, she picks up Rule from his apartment to drive him to visit his parents. Even if they bicker like a cat and a dog, they finally hook up!
This is where the book got more interesting.:-)

"Here's my heart Shaw. You have it in your hands and I promise you're the first and the last person to ever touch it. You need to be careful with it because it's far more fragile than I ever thought and if you try and give it back I'm not taking it."  
 
This is just a wonderful sweet love story that will stick in you.
Now I can't wait for the next book, it's about Jet and Ayden! Ohhh yeah... ^_^

About the Author
I'm supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I'm an natural redhead even though I haven't seen my real hair color in years, I'm a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I've been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that.
I love to write, love to read and all I'm interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something.
