About FORTUNATE SON:
Ry Archer and Bowe Keller are as different as night and day. But that doesn't stop the childhood frenemies from reconnecting whenever one of them needs some help tackling any of life's major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn't living up to all the hype. They might constantly rub each other the wrong way (except for the times when they rub each other the really-really right way), but there is no denying they've always made one hell of a great team. They manage to balance each other out… when they aren't driving each other crazy.
For Ry, he thought he had the perfect girl, the one who was going to run headfirst into a methodically planned future. He was going to marry young and have the same kind of legendary, life-long romance his parents did… or so he believed. His girl was going to stand by his side as he chased his dream of being a professional football player all the way to the NFL.
He was wrong.
Now, Ry's gotta figure out the difference between a bruised heart and a broken one, and the only person who can teach him the difference is Bowe.
Bowe always felt like she had to run before she learned to walk to keep up with her father's musical legacy. He's her hero, and she wants nothing more than to make him proud. Bowe's about to figure out that maybe she wasn't meant to be in a rock and roll band and that it is possible she let her father's success cloud her idea of what making music should be. Bowe needs to find her own path to fame, and there's a good chance she wouldn't be brave enough or bold enough to start over if Ry Archer hadn't charmed his way back into her life when she least expected it.
Some days they're enemies. Other days they're lovers. For a while, they were strangers. But now, it feels more like they might have always been soulmates.
Eventually, Ry and Bowe realize that letting go of an old dream and creating a new one is much easier to do with the right person by your side.

What I thought about Fortunate Son
I'm going to get this right out in the open -- I adored the Marked Men
series from Jay Crownover and her return to that special world is
certainly a cause for celebration for this reader. I fell in love with
all the boys and it was great to have this second generation thing going
on. Kudos to Jay Crownover for giving fans of the original series more
of this world.
In Fortunate Son, Ry Archer, Rule and Shaw's son
gets dumped by his girl without warning. Or so it seems to him at
first. Anyway, he's devastated and finds himself heading to Austin
Texas for comfort in the arms of Bowe Keller, Jet and Ayden's daughter.
There's
some history between Ry and Bowe, but it's also clear that there's a
strong connection between them. Much of the first part of this book
rehashes the relationships between the two generations and reminds the
reader just how tight this group of friends remained over the years. I
was intrigued to find out if the second generation shared that strong
sense of family.
Things really take a nice turn when Bowe asks
Ry for feedback on her new band and he gives it to her. I really liked
these scenes, and the one between Jet and Bowe where they discuss just
what it means to get up on stage and what it takes to put yourself out
there. And when it turns out Ry is correct in his assessment of the
situation, Bowe can only turn to him to provide a balm to her bruised
soul.
Meanwhile Ry is also coming to revelations about his time
with Aston, his ex, and how to amend his past relationship with Bowe.
And then there's the everlasting comparisons to his uncle Remy, who Ry
never knew, but everyone says he is just like him. That's a lot of Ry to
live up to, and he has to learn to deal with that.
I really
loved the second half of this book, especially where Ry and Bowe end up
at the conclusion of the story. There's some big drama at the end that I
won't spoil , except to say I loved it even with its schmaltzy
moments. There's also plenty of hints for future stories and
relationships among this generation of Marked Men offspring. It was
terrific to spend time in this world again.
