I have loved every book Jay has written, but was a little worried when the Point series came out. I was so worried, because it was so different from the Marked Men, that I waited until a month before this book came out to read Better When He's Bad. Once I read it, I wondered why I waited. This book did not disappoint. Key was such a strong character, with only one weakness, Nassir. Nassir never needed anyone, because he never had anyone, until he met Key.
This book was dark, with just enough light to have me hoping that Key and Nassir would find a way to make a relationship work. Nassir was raised to be a killer and led down that path from a young age, when he didn't even know why or what he was really doing. Key was a dancer when he first met her and all he wanted to do was protect her. She fled, he gave her time and then went after her. But would she come back to the Point, and more importantly, him?
Once she makes up her mind, he offers her part ownership of his new club. She accepts, but with one condition-she needs a place to live. He has never had anyone living with him but agrees. They agree that there will be no him touching her until she is ready to be 'owned' by him. It is a struggle for both of them. When and will they give in to their feelings. Nassir wants to, but only when she is ready to move forward. She wants to as well, but she doesn't want to lose herself if she does.
This book is so great. The characters are multilayered and the story is great. Jay never disappoints.
