Recommendation
Ever since we met Race in the previous book, I’ve been excited for his story: the golden rich boy who turns to a life a crime for a sister he tries to protect, including sending his best friend to jail. And of course he wants the rich girl who dislikes him, at least that’s what he thinks. I have to admit that Brysen and Race are cute together. He’s always trying to make her life better, to take care of her as much as he can, while she allows him to be the king of The Point, never expecting him to change for her or join the upstanding citizens he came from years ago. Though the main suspense story involved Brysen, there is drama concerning The Point and the underground. Jay definitely sets up the next 2 books and I cannot wait for their stories.[January 2015]
Publisher synopsis
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover, comes the second book in a combustible new series, Welcome to the Point, that is sexier, darker, and better than ever.
There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who is bad. . . . Welcome to the Point.
In a dark and broken kingdom, a ruler has be fearless to control the streets and the ruthless people who run them. Race Hartman is just bold enough, just smart enough, and just lost enough to wear the crown. Places like The Point will always have bad things and bad people, but the man in control of all that badness can minimize the devastation. Race has a plan, but can he prevent total annihilation without destroying himself?
Brysen Carter has always seen the real Race—a guy too pretty, too smooth, and way too dangerous. Basking in his golden glow is very tempting, but Brysen knows she’ll eventually get burned. She has enough problems without the risky danger and mayhem that comes with a guy like Race. Too bad Brysen faces a threat close to home that might be more dangerous than anything The Point has ever produced.. And the only person interested in keeping her safe is the one man she can’t allow herself to have.
Sometimes being bold is the only way to stay alive. But can she let Race save her life . . . if it means losing herself to him?
