Ce tome m'a nettement moins emballée que le précédent, même si on est dans du pur Jay Crownover, avec des héros au caractère bien trempé, toujours présents pour les autres, très protecteurs, et dotés d'un sex-appeal qui décoiffe ! Les hommes comme les femmes, d'ailleurs. En fait j'ai moi aussi l'impression qu'on tourne en rond. Jay Crownover fait ce qu'elle sait faire de mieux, mais j'avoue être parfois lassée, cela dépend des tomes. Peut-être que tout est trop bien calibré, justement.
Néanmoins, j'ai particulièrement apprécié Avett, et l'évolution de sa personnalité depuis ses premiers pas dans l'univers de l'auteur. Quaid est quant à lui un beau spécimen, difficile d'imaginer sa vraie personnalité et là d'où il vient ! Et puis j'ai un gros faible pour Brite, et j'adorerais une nouvelle portant sur Darcy et lui, du temps de leur jeunesse !

If you read Built (and if you didn’t why not??? It is so goooooood). You will remember Quaid, the perfectly coifed attorney, and Avett, pink haired wild child. I couldn’t wait to see the amazing things that Ms. Crownover did for a story line.
Amazed isn’t enough to describe the pages of Charged. Shocking discoveries are made with this story (possible hints of future books????). As I am sure you have guessed, two obviously opposites become a hot couple. Or are they so different? Remember the shocking discoveries? The charge has been set.
Warning some of the story tore at my gut. If I wore makeup I would look like a clown. I just wanted to grab Avett and hug her until life got better. I would have held her for quite awhile before things were as good as they should be.
The thrills and chills blew me a way. There were a few dark moments. Evil people live in Denver and not all are criminals. I wondered if Avett would ever be free of trouble. Jail time isn’t her only worry. There is so much more going on. It might help to have popcorn handy to save your nails from being chewed.
Avett and Quaid are not an easy romance. They are frequently their own worst enemy. Other times, they are the loudest cheerleaders. Ms. Crownover’s writing brilliance shines through Quaid. He says some amazing things during the courting dance.
Just a small warning—don’t start late in the evening. Charged is a hard book to put away for the night. Today I feel as Quaid did on those nights that Avett filled his head, but not his bed. Empty. Drained.

Quaid y Avett son lo máximo, es mi libro favorito de las 2 series, son tantas cosas que no se por donde empezar.
La actitud de Quaid en Built te deja saber que tiene una personalidad arrolladora, es guapo, simpático, inteligente, seguro de sí mismo, sexy, es un abogado cojonudo, rubio de ojos azules y más importante está de nuevo soltero, me encanta que sea tan pulcro y a la vez su lugar de procedencia por llamarlo de alguna forma sea "rural", que casi toda su piel esté inmaculada, no soportaría tanta belleza aumentada con algo de metal, me daría un "algo".
Avett está arrrpentida de su tomas de decisiones en la vida, pero sobre todo con los hombres.
Por fin vemos que sucede en ese asalto que sufre Asa y Royal hace 3 historias, pero ahora desde el punto de vista de Avett. Es un libro con una trama emocionante, te atrapa, creo que es hasta ahora el más complejo, me gusta la participación de Rome y de Church, esos chicos son geniales.
Definitivamente Quaid es un novio literario profesional.

It's so hard for me to read this book, and try and process my thoughts and put them into a review for you, with no spoilers on what happens or how it all ends. I loved Jay's Marked Men series, so I was super excited to find out about the Saints of Denver. Already having met both Avett and Quaid in previous books, I could not wait to watch the sparks ignite in the pages of Charged, because having this duo together in thier own story you knew it wasn't going to be all sunshine and roses, and that sparks and clothes were definitely going to fly.
Avett wasn't a character I was particularly fond of. Her previous actions left a lot of resentment towards her, and her somewhat lack of respect did not help at all. But Charged gets us closer to Avett, and once her story was told I have to admit that I did change my opinion of her, it wasn't a fast change, but a slow change over time, especially when we see the situation she was in, and the consequences she is still dealing with.
Quaid was someone who I was excited to meet, having already seen glimpses of him and what he is capable of, and I had no idea how he would react to Avett. The first meeting of this pair, and the sparks start to fly, and not in a good way. It takes a while for Avett to really trust Quaid and his reasons for wanting to help her. Quaid's past isn't as nice as I expected, especially considering how he dresses and his high power job. He has come from nothing to having everything, and I do admire his determination to still be there, especially how hard he was betrayed.
Charged was a book I flew through, I could not read it fast enough, and I reluctantly put it down early hours in the morning as I was fighting to keep my eyes open. I loved seeing this duo together and never knew what to expect next off them. But seeing how much they are willing to sacrifice really shows how much they care. Another bonus to this series is we get to see some old friends from the Marked Men series, and I liked how Asa and Avett connected over thier past, and why he does what he does for her.
Final Verdict
Charged is a book you don't want to miss out on. I could not get enough of this couple and I am excited to see if we get to hear more off them in future installments. Make sure to have snacks and drinks ready when you crack open the pages, because you wont want to stop reading. Also don't expect a nice journey, Charged takes you on a roller coaster of a ride, so hold on for dear life.

She looked like some kind of colorful woodland fairy from a Disney movie with her odd hair and delicate features.
Some of us are born into the storm and some of us are born to chase after it, I guess.

Charged is the second novel in the Saints of Denver series by Jay Crownover. I will admit that after reading Built, my favorite book of Jay's ever, that I was both anxious and a bit nervous for Charged. While I loved the set up for Quaid and Avett in Built, Avett was not my favorite character and I have to say that Quaid wasn't either. But right from the start of Charged, these two both won me over and I really ended up enjoying their story!
When Avett Walker finds herself in her biggest mess yet, she is determined to suffer the consequences. She has let her family down too many times to count and she refuses to involve them again. But when the sexy Quaid Jackson shows up and says that he has been hired as her lawyer, she has no option but to let him help her out. Though these two are total opposites, Quaid finds himself drawn to her in a way he has never been to a client or woman before. Soon they both realize that though their lives might appear as different as can be, they have more in common than you might expect.
I was surprised just how much I ended up loving these two. Avett has come off as a selfish brat that never thinks anything through before, and I really loved her attitude here. She was determined to stand on her own two feet, and I really liked that she was willing to accept what she had done and not try to pass blame off on others. In fact she even went too far and blamed herself at times for things that absolutely weren't her fault, but it was really nice to see that she wasn't what you might first think based on what we have seen of her past. Quaid came off in Built as a bit arrogant, thinking that he could get anything he wanted and almost seeming like he was a bit entitled. But very early on here we learn some of his past and what he has been through, and he was so different than I was expecting. I really felt for both of these characters, and I thought that they were perfect for one another. They were great together, had smoking hot chemistry, and they understood each other in a way that was surprising yet completely genuine.
I will say that after reading Built, I had expected this to be a bit more of an enemies to lovers story. The sparks were flying in that book, and the vibes they were giving off said they definitely weren't each other's biggest fans though the attraction was there. But while there was a bit of that here, this one was definitely sweeter than I had been expecting. I really enjoyed it and thought that the story was good, it was just different than I had thought going in. Overall though, this book was really great and I loved getting to see some familiar faces. I am super excite for the next book in the series, Riveted, which will feature Dixie and Church. If you are a fan of Jay Crownover's this book is not to be missed! If you are new to her books, this is a great place to start and I highly recommend checking out her Marked Men series where it all started for these characters in the Saints of Denver series.

Insisto una parte de mi ama cuando los autores saben que clase de historia buscan sus lectores y les entregan justo eso.
Jay Crownover, otra vez con una historia muy parecida en este caso a la de Ayden y Asa, esta vez con Avett Walker como protagonista y Quid Jackson como su pareja.
Y vaya pareja, si bien en Saints of Denver, las historias son un poco más maduras que con Marked, pero a la vez, con la misma angustia y tensión sexual que a la autora tanto le gustan manejar.
No quiero dar muchos detalles pero la verdad es que la historia me gustó, me entretuvo, solo me faltan dos libros para terminar con estos personajes y es que no estoy lista, este mundo me gusta demasiado, es bastante sencillo perderte en sus angustias amorosas y olvidar las mías.
Jay sigue escribiendo de ellos, I mean, si Cassandra sigue con sus historias de Cazadores, porque tu no.

So, I know it's probably but, I have had the plague for the last five days and I haven't been able to read anything (not even any Riley or ARR books could help me) to get me out of my book rut. Except this but it still left me wanting something.
I did find Avett little annoying but, Crownover did say she's a spoiled brat in the beginning and also reading the books she has been it was to be expected.
Quaid was interesting character to read about. I liked how his life was played through out the book. You'll get why I placed this photo here if you read the book.
I do love Crownover's books. I'm just in a book reading rut.
