“He wasn’t perfect, I wasn’t perfect, but the love we had
for each other…nothing was more perfect than that.”
Rome has always known his place. He was the protective older
brother, the beloved son who ran interference between his parents and Rule, the
soldier. But now that he is back from the desert, he doesn’t know where he
fits. He is no longer a soldier and has come back from the desert a broken and
changed man.
He couldn’t protect Remy and is struggling to bridge the
rift Remy’s secret life caused in his family. Now that Rule has Shaw, he
doesn’t need Rome anymore. The memories of his time at war threaten to overwhelm
him. Everything that Rome used to define himself has been taken away, and he
finds himself adrift in a sea of gray.
After having her heart smashed into a million pieces by her
ex-boyfriend, Cora makes a vow that she will only settle for perfection.
However when Cora meets Rome, she cannot deny the attraction and feelings that
he inspires, even if he is as far from Cora’s idea of perfect as possible. As
Cora falls for Rome, she struggles to give up on waiting for “Mr. Perfect” and
risk her heart.
Cora becomes the riot of color in Rome’s gray world, and he
knows that he has to put his demons to rest or risk losing her. Neither of
them is perfect, but they are perfect together…if they are both willing to go
all in.

This book is AMAZING! The Marked Men series is by far one of
my favorites. I love each and everyone one of these characters. They are so raw
and real, and the journey that Jay takes us on is heart wrenchingly perfect.
This series is full of angst, drama, redemption, passion, and is by far one of
the best NA series I have ever read. Each book in this series gets better and
better, and I love how Jay has woven the stories of this group of misfits
together. I highly recommend that you read this series in order, as they each
contain spoilers for the previous novels.
Jay delivers another great one with Rome. I love Cora’s
spitfire personality and admire Rome’s sense of honor and loyalty (not to
mention that he is all sorts of delicious). I loved watching these two
imperfect and flawed people find perfection with each other. There were some
surprises and it is definitely a page-turner. It’s books like this that make me
regret the fact that I have to put them down to eat, sleep and take care of
other necessities. I was hooked from the very start and Rome, hands down, has
the best cover. Holy hotness! This book is imperfectly perfect.
The best part is that we can expect at least 3 more books in
this series! Nash (April, 2014), Rowdy (September, 2014) and Asa (TBD) are all
scheduled to get their own books. We got some sneak peaks into Nash’s story and
I have a feeling that it will join the ranks of my favorite guilty pleasure
reads.
