Rowdy by Jay Crownover (contains small spoilers)

Rating: Thumbs up
Description:  After the only girl he ever loved told him that he would never be enough, Rowdy St. James knocked the Texas dust off his boots and set out to live up to his nickname. Rowdy refuses to take anything too seriously, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Burned by love once, he isn’t going to let himself trust a woman again. But that’s before his new co-worker arrives, a ghost from the past who’s suddenly making him question every lesson he ever learned.But one nice thing from childhood has stayed with her; the memory of the sweet, blue-eyed boy next door who’d been head over heels in love with her little sister.Now, fate and an old friend have brought her and Rowdy together, and Salem is determined to show him that once upon a time he picked the wrong sister. A mission that is working perfectly—until the one person that ties them together appears, threatening to tear them apart for good.

So this book was not as interesting as I expected, but it was still good; it just was not as good as the other ones.

Salem grew up in Loveless with her father that thought his word was law. He also believed that his children were suppose to obey or there would be consequences. Her father lost it a little because that is not a way to treat your children.
Her mother was no better because she allowed all of it to happen and this caused Salem to leave Loveless and basically become a gypsy, never putting roots down,that is until she gets a call from Nash about a job.

Rowdy is the sweet boy that Salem knew when they were children, but he has grown up now and has his family and friends that surround them. Rowdy went through some things when he was a child, his mother passed away and he was put into foster care, which is how he met Salem and Poppy. Rowdy fell in love with the wrong Cruz sister when he was younger, but he falls in love with the right sister this time.

Poppy is Salem's sister and she stayed in Loveless because she was the proper sister and she was the only one that listened to her father even if she never wanted to. She married someone her parents approved of and that was the worst thing she could do. Her husband was crazy and took his anger out on Poppy. 

Rowdy and Salem have a little back and fourth throughout the relationship, but I thought that it was not as interesting as the other guys stories.
