Not as good as the first book. Both main characters were good but I didn't get the zing I got with bax and dovine. It was a decent story and I will read book three.

I had a little bit of trouble related to the H/h of this one. Not sure why, but overall an entertaining read.

Crownover's series Welcome to the Point is an okay series for me. I love love love her Marked Men series but this one doen't really give it to me. The characters okay, plot is okay, and everything is okay. A review to come...

This is a very different type of series for me but I really have been enjoying it. Race is not your typical hero but he still has a strong moral compass. I like the way these books unfold. There is always some amount of resolution to at least part of the story but the overall story carries on through all the books. It is definitely a sign of a very talented writer. This was exciting and the main characters didn't bug me. I liked that Brysen wasn't wishy-washy about her feelings for Race. Looking forward to Titus' book.

Love this series. Had to go back and re-read a little of the last book so I could place all the characters, but love the writing and story lines.

I'm beginning to think that it's impossible for Jay Crownover to release a book, and not completely take me over. With how much I've come to love this author's Marked Men series, I admittedly get a little nervous when starting a book in this new series, but Crownover works her magic every time, and leaves me desperate for more.
I was definitely excited to head back to The Point, and this time around get to know the king of bad, Race. He made some really (how many times will the following word appear in my review this time around?) bad choices in Bax and Dovie's book, so having the chance to get a more in-depth look at this man was something that I craved the minute I finished book #1.
In Better When He's Bold, I loved seeing Race walk right along the line of right and wrong; you never knew for sure which way he would take things, as he fought the internal battle of being a good guy who has to do bad things to not only survive, but to keep the real bad guys from destroying his "kingdom." I loved seeing the development of his relationship with his leading lady, Brysen. She was the perfect woman to stand by his side, and help him run The Point.
I loved the intrigue, the suspense, the storyline that had me on the edge of my seat, and kept me turning the pages. I loved the characters - Bax and Dovie!!!! - and how the author already has me greedy for Titus' book, which is coming up next. I loved that I hung on every word of this story, and never felt like any part of it was unnecessary. I devoured it all, and was once again left desperate for more.
I will never tire of delving heart first in to this author's work.

I absolutely loved Better When He's Bad and I couldn't wait to dive into Race's book.
I wasn't sure I was going to end up liking Race in the same way that I loved Bax and, as it turns out, I didn't. I didn't hate him but I just didn't fall for his version of a bad boy.
That being said, I still really enjoyed the story and especially the writing. Jay did a great job of proving that good and bad aren't always black and white. That good people can do bad things and bad people can do good things. She has a way of writing these characters that are hard to put into any specific category. At points I thought that Race was a cocky bastard and that his ego was bigger than any problem The Point could bring him. Then there were the times he showed a softer side and you realized that maybe it wasn't his ego driving him, instead it was his need to be sure that the best of two evils is in control of The Point in order to protect his family and friends who were a part of it. Much like the first book though, this isn't a story of true love making a bad boy go good but rather a true look at life and the things people have to do to survive. That sometimes to make things better you have to be more than just bad, you have to be bold.
