Opposites in every way . . . except the one that matters Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a straight–A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn’t want–and the only person she’s never tried to please. She isn’t afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won’t listen.To … just won’t listen.
To a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother’s girl. She lives by other people’s rules; he makes his own. He doesn’t have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she’s the only one who can see the person he truly is.
But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.
The first Marked Men novel in Jay Crownover’s combustible New Adult series.

Tattoos, piercings, oh my! Rule was H-O-T! This was a great, fun read, with lots on angst and very relatable moments. Rule and Shaw each had their own demons that plagued them. Shaw, although she comes from a pretentious and self-absorbed family, is the complete opposite. She’s charming and caring, and I couldn’t help but to love her. Rule, on the …
One of my favorite books to re-read. Rule is one of my top book boyfriends ever.
I think I just found my new love!!! This is such a good book. Sometimes the thing your looking for is right in front of you. Rule and Shaw are so different. Shaw is so loving, scared of what others think, and will do anything for the ones she loves. Rule is hot tempered ,tattooed, and just doesn’t give F!@k what other think.
I am truly sad that …
I’m a little late to the party on this series. But I’m so glad I found it. I absolutely loved this story & Rule & Shaw. The narrators were amazing as well. I’m totally swooning over Rule.
Shaw has been trying to keep Rule a part of his family for the last three years – ever since his twin and her best friend, Remy, passed away. Even if that means her heart breaks every Sunday when she drags him and his Saturday night piece out of bed to take him home for Sunday Brunch. When she finally reaches her breaking point and says that she …
Late to the party on this series, obviously. But a little October downtime has me blowing the dust off my TBR and jumping into books I’ve never gotten around to before.
And this book?
This book was wildly addictive!
I loved Rule and Shaw’s story so much. I am a sucker for a good reformed manwhore, and an unapologetically strong heroine. …
I read this book via ku and am leaving my review voluntarily. This is the first book I read by this author.
Triggers: stalking, assault, cheating (but to be clear, it is 1 time and H kisses a girl)
**spoilers**
Shaw. Beautiful. Sweet. People pleaser. Best friend to Remy. In love with Rule.
Rule. Good looking. Tattooed. Man whore. …
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I love everything about Rule and Shaw. They were always perfect for one another they just needed it to be the right time or them to act on it.

An absolute favourite and one of a very few books that I will read over and over. Rule is my ultimate book boyfriend
I am such a sucker for a damaged character…add in some hot ass tattoos and some, uh, strategic body piercing and I am totally hooked. Rule is about as damaged as they come and uses his charm and amazing looks to drown his pain in an endless stream of one night stands.
Shaw, on the outside, is everything that Rule is not. She’s clean cut, prissy …
The first of the Marked Men series. Two messed up families. A girl in love with a man since she was 14 and he thinks she was his deceased twin brothers girlfriend. How can this not make a great love story. I am ready for the next one in the series.
Listened to the audio book
The readers performance was great. I have mixed feelings about the storyline. I just felt bad for her the whole way through the book. She devoted her time and energy to him and I never felt like he gave it back. Even at the end. Though I suppose it was supposed to be a happy ending, I didn’t get that feeling. …
Rule is what got me hooked on Jay Crownover!
