Rome by Jay Crownover

Rating: two huge thumbs up
Blurb: Fun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep her tattooed "bad boy" friends at the Marked in line. But beneath all that flash and sass is a broken heart. Cora won't let herself get burned again. She's waiting to fall in love with the perfect man—a baggage-free, drama-free guy ready for commitment. Then she meets Rome Archer.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He's stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he's returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, super-soldier—but none of those fit anymore. Now he's just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the dark demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer through it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash of color in a sea of gray.Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly imperfect could just last forever


This series just keeps getting better and better. I think this is my favorite story so far. Cora and Rome .. ugh.. I can't even get started. It was a perfect story. I love series' like this because it is one book per person and you get to know the people really well because they do not disappear after one book, they are always around. 

Cora is a spunky and tough person. I love her personality she is small, but she is perfectly capable of taking care of herself and her family. She is also really great at putting the men in their places if they are being stupid.  So she may have not been prepared for Rome at first and it does take a little time for her to get use to the idea that imperfect is perfect for her, but it does not take her forever which I am thankful for.

Rome just got out of the army and he has some troubles that he needs to muddle through, at first it was drinking... a lot of drinking and then Cora happened and that all changed slowly. I was extremely happy to see that even though Rome was being "Captain No-Fun" that his family and friends all still loved him and that they kept trying to help him.

 Rome runs into a little trouble throughout the book *coughs* he might get hurt *cough*
but he makes it through.

There is not much more I can say without it becoming spoiler filled and I would rather you read the series because it will be worth the time, Tattooed guys that are protective and sweet and tough ... yes please.
