But that doesn’t stop the childhood frenemies from reconnecting whenever one of them needs some help tackling any of life’s major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn’t living up to all the hype. Ry Archer and Bowe Keller are as different as night and day. “Whenever any one of us from back in the day feels like we’re about to fall, there are a whole lot of hands ready to catch us.” Another epically inked story that marked my heart and soul. With its powerful and passionate prose, I could only surrender to the spell and song of Fortunate Son. Through her spellbinding and heartfelt writing, Crownover shows the beauty among the broken, the flaws that make the human, and the courage to chase your dreams or make new ones.įortunate Son brought that same heady, hit my heart, lost-in-this book feeling from when I met my first Jay Crownover book, Rule!! It’s the perfect fit to the Marked Men series: uniquely-told, wholly felt tales that stand on their own pedestals. It was so easy to fall in love with every word, every character, and everything. Wholly original and heartfelt, written with spirit and soul, Fortunate Son is an irresistible tale of love, friendship, family, and self acceptance. You can feel the heat and heart radiating from Ry and Bowe … the chemistry and deep connection just penetrate through the pages. There was so much intrigue and angst, complexity, and moving parts, and I loved watching Ry and Bowe battle every bit, growing stronger as one in this spectacular and stunning story. I slipped into these characters’ souls, became their voices, and felt every feel they had to give.

Its prose is powerful and passionate, a journey of love, lyrics, and life.

Told through a stunning musician and her sports star muse, Fortunate Son is a tangled and hard-fought hero and heroine romance anchored by strength, second chances, and serendipity.

What a gift! How special to know that one of your favorite authors of one of your favorite series has brought beloved characters back to life with a new generation that’s just as poignant and powerful as that of their parents. Long-time readers like me have been begging for more Marked Men, and Jay Crownover has granted us with second generation of her first book family. “I like you a little bit more each time you prove to me just how flawed you are.”
