New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Jay Crownover returns with her most complicated hero yet, in the first book in the romantic suspense series The Breaking Point.
Don’t be fooled.
Don’t make excuses for me.
I am not a good man.
I’ve seen things no one should, done things no one should talk about. Honor and conscience have no place in my life. But I’ve fought and I’ve survived. I’ve had to.
The first time I saw her dancing on that seedy stage in that second rate club, I felt my heart pulse for the first time. Keelyn Foster was too young, too vibrant for this place, and I knew in an instant that I would make her mine. But first I had to climb my way to the top. I had to have something more to offer her.
I’m here now, money is no object and I have no equal. Except for her. She's disappeared. But don’t worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine.
Like I said, don’t be fooled. I am not the devil in disguise... I’m the one standing front and center.

“What do you think of the club?”
Her
soft gray eyes widened and then narrowed. “It’s big and fancy. You can’t miss
it as soon as you drive into the city.” There was a pause and her breath
hitched. “You named it after me.”
I
grinned at her. She was the key to everything that mattered in my world and in
this city. Of course I named it after her.
“All
the members got a lock or a key when they joined and paid their membership
dues. The men all have a lock, one that is either open or one that is closed.
If the lock is open, it means the gentleman is attached, married, has a
partner, but is still up for anything and everything. The closed lock signifies
that the particular man is off-limits and must engage with another member on
his or her own terms.”
She
lifted an eyebrow at me. “And the keys?”
I
shrugged. “The women have the keys, to the locks and to the men’s hearts. Don’t
they always?”
She
moved a little closer and our knees brushed together, and I felt it in my
balls. I sucked in a quick breath as the mere touch made my dick throb.
“So the
women can just go around unlocking and locking men up all night long? They have
no rules?”
“Women
make all the rules when it comes to sex, Key. You should know this better than
anyone.” I wanted to reach out and pull her off the edge of the desk so that
she was sitting in my lap. “They have the key but they don’t have to use it,
and if a member with a closed lock doesn’t want them to set them free, then
that’s it. There is no pressure. There is no persuasion. It should all be
mutual and it is all facilitated by men and women that want to be here. I’m
pay9ing a small fortune for the people that know this industry inside and out.
I built a grown-up amusement park where nothing is off-limits. People love
their kink. People love their sex.”
“What
about you? Do you love your sex and kink, Nassir?”
I
smirked at her. “Sex is a part of life; it’s necessary and here in the Point it
is currency. Kink I can give or take depending on the person on the other end
of it. I’ve seen too much torture and degradation in my lifetime for the
extreme and dark to be appealing.”
I saw
the questions my quietly spoken words fired to life in her eyes, but instead of
asking them, she was the one that decided to change the subject.
“Tell
me about this business proposition you had in mind when you came to Denver. You
want me to dress in latex and spank people? You want me to get on my back and
spread my legs while people watch? What’s your game plan?”
I
frowned at her and couldn’t stop myself from moving closer to her as she spit
the harsh words out at me.
“You
think I want to watch you have sex with other people. Key? You think it’s been
fun for me to watch you burn your way through every available and not-so-available
boy in the Point because you weren’t ready for me? I narrowed my eyes at her.
“Now, which one of us needs to have some accountability?”
She
flushed pink and leaned closer to me. She might be scared of me and the way I
wanted her, but she never backed down, and that made my desire for her burn in
a way that would never be extinguished.
“What
did you have in mind, Nassir?”
4 Honor Stars
We briefly met Nassir earlier in the Welcome to the Point series and he always came off dangerous and mysterious. So it made his character more intriguing and a character that I shouldn't want more of. But learning more of his past and who is now in Honor, made him more complex, but more likable and really not a bad guy. He knows how to stay on top in the Point, and no one says no to the man, except one. And that's Keelyn. The woman he loves and vows to protect, but their relationship was never intimate with.
Keelyn is a fighter. She's been through so much at a young age and having Nassir save her changed her outlook on life and wanting more. So she ran to Denver. Ran away from the intense bond between her and Nassir. But Denver was never really home for her and going back to the Point and back to Nassir (even though she didn't want to admit it!) was the right thing to do. These two character has so much chemistry, I wanted them to just jump each other from the beginning, but of course it didn't happen. There is so much push and pull between them.
So when Nassir offers Key a business deal that should couldn't refuse, working together becomes a challenge. The pull between these is so intense, but when someone is out their to sabotage their new partnership, it causes them to strengthen their relationship.
Honor is a suspenseful and a page turner and is filled with plenty of sexual tension between these characters. And I loved the dual POV! Now my question next is..Booker next? Please say yes!
