Review: A Righteous Man by Jay Crownover

 



Here's a little bit about A Righteous Man
Add on [goodreads]
Out NOW!!

Salinger Dolan.
You know his name.

You've seen his face.

You've spent money on the endless amount of useless crap he endorses.

Of course, you've heard the stories.

You know the ones…The one that claimed he was hard to work with and totally unprofessional on set.

The one where he got caught doing drugs on the set of the most popular, family-friendly show in America.The one where he ruined the reputation—and career—of America's sweetheart.

There’s more truth to those stories than his fans want to believe because Salinger is the kind of thoughtless, careless, dangerous Hollywood bad boy the paparazzi and fame-hungry starlets can't get enough of.

Eventually, the shine of his flashy lifestyle started to fade, and Salinger realized the only thing he's famous for nowadays is his bad behavior and well-documented struggle with addiction.

The former golden boy is beyond tarnished, and the only person who can help him get his glow back is the one woman who wants absolutely nothing to do with him.

Maren Copeland.
You might recall her name.

It's possible you vaguely remember her face.

You're probably wondering where she went. After all, you've heard the stories…The one where she exposed Salinger Dolan’s drug use all those years ago.

The one that said she tried to ruin his career because she was envious of his popularity.

The one about how she went from being everyone's favorite to a pariah overnight.

Maren Copeland is now known as the comeback queen. After years of hard work and purposely avoiding entanglements with problematic heartthrobs like her first co-star, she's on track to revitalize her career and rearrange her priorities after a very messy and very public divorce.

For the first time in both her professional and personal life, she’s the one calling all the shots.

Unfortunately, the path to get her where she wants to be leads directly to none other than Salinger Dolan.

He’s the one and the only person she swore she would never work with again.

Once upon a time, he cost her everything. He’s back to make amends and promised to give her anything she wants if she’ll just give him a chance to prove he’s grown up.

She doesn't trust him.

She knows she’d be a fool to believe he’s changed.

After all, what are the odds that a spoiled, entitled brat like Salinger Dolan could become a righteous man?

Review:



I will start my review with this: PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!

Jay Crownover blessed us with a surprise book to end 2020 and it was really everything we needed to end this rollercoaster of a year.

This story was seriously a rollercoaster of feelings. I really felt invested in the characters and their arcs and I just wanted them to have their happy ending.

Salinger is the kind of character that you will either like or really love. I don’t think you can actually hate him. When you start the story, you want to dislike him, but as it goes on, you get to realize what kind of man he’s working to be and you just want him to succeed.

Maren is a character you feel for her after what she was put through. She wanted to do a good thing and it turned on her, but even being older than him, I feel like it took her even more time to realize that some of her resentment was misplaced. Not completely, but a part of it. Through this book, you can see her grow as much as Salinger does.

Both characters are so relatable and I loved that it took time for both of them to get where they ended up. I really felt like they both brought something to each other and it just made the story even better. I could have read a whole series just about them honestly.

You can also tell that she had a lot of fun writing these characters and this story. I will admit that I enjoyed other secondary characters in it and I would be more than happy to read more about them. Some characters I just wanted to see crawl under a bus, but I will leave it at that hahaha

Overall, I am happy that this was my last book of 2020 because I really feel like I’m finishing the year with such a banger. This book was really amazing and  you guys need to get your hands on it and devour it just like a did.

So I’m ending my review the same way I started: PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.

He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.

Fast forward a decade.

We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. 

It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic. 

Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. 

But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated. 

I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven. 

And he was torn.

The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.

Still, I assumed he would never…go there.

Nathan would kill us.

The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.

Eventually our slow burn exploded. 

But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection. 

We just couldn’t get caught, right?

That sounded simple.

Until it wasn’t.

This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.
