My Current Read

📖 Name of the Book: Rowdy (Marked Men 5) by Jay Crownover

📖 Genre: Contemporary Romance

💭 My Thoughts: Rowdy is everyone who has abandonment issues in one character. Salem, though her name intrigues me because of her coming from a fundamentalist religious background, is like every repressed Christian pastor’s child who breaks from the mold. I personally know so many like her.

⭐ Star Rating: 4/5
