Blacklisted (Loveless, Texas #3) by Jay Crownover

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men series comes an irresistible and suspenseful romance between a doctor who plays by the rules and the outlaw who breaks them in order to protect her.

Dr. Presley Baskin has always lived a quiet, calm life. Unfortunately, nothing about her life in Loveless, Texas—especially not the wild, rowdy, and impossibly close-knit Lawton family who've claimed her—is quiet or calm. Which is how loner Presley finds herself roped into patching up local bad boy Shot Caldwell against her better judgment. Presley wants nothing to do with the dangerous, brooding leader of the local outlaw motorcycle club. But when someone starts stalking her, Shot is the only person she trusts to help. Plus he owes her one...

Palmer 'Shot' Caldwell has always known his life isn't made for relationships. At least until shy, secretive, Presley reluctantly pulled a bullet out of him. He's oddly protective of the pretty doctor, so when she comes to him for help, hard-hearted Shot suddenly realizes there's nothing he wouldn't do to keep her safe.

5 out of 5 stars

Blacklisted was so fantastic! I was on the edge of my seat, hooked the entire time. It was an exciting and passionate read with wonderful characters and an outstanding build. I couldn’t get enough!

I loved Presley and Shot and the whole opposites attract vibe they had happening. I love how they met, and the intenseness between them. Presley seems so buttoned up and in a bad place and I loved her metamorphosis over the course of the story. I really liked her relationship with Shot, how their attraction grew, and how she started to put herself out there. I loved Shot. He's sexy, sweet, and protective but alpha and hard. I loved their vulnerable moments and when feelings were shared, it felt so raw and real.

There was a thrilling suspense element happening that I really enjoyed. I loved learning all the details about Presley's history and all she was going through. I liked learning about Shot as well and the club issues he was dealing with. There was an excellent amount of drama and action happening that made for an addicting read.

I loved all the different relationships happening with the Lawton’s and Presley. I loved how they embraced her and brought her into the fold, especially Kody. It was a beautiful thing. There were some great updates about previous couples as well and I was so happy to get them.

This was such an exceptional story. It felt intense yet inviting and I loved the mystery element that was in play. This was an engaging read full of drama, emotion, and love. I loved the build and the characters, and this amazing family that came together. This is an outstanding series!
