Features & Highlights
Looks can be deceiving. I knew that most people took one look at the ink and the impossibly big and strong body it covered and decided I was a brawler…a bruiser…a beast. However, I was hardwired to be a thinker, not a fighter. I should have chosen to use my brain and talents to be one of the good guys, a hero, a man with dignity and worth. I turned my back on dignity and sold my soul to the highest bidder, deciding to dance with the devil, instead. I couldn’t figure out how to help myself, so there was zero chance I knew how to save someone else. That someone else was Noe Lee. She was the unkempt, unruly thief who was just as smart as I was and twice as street savvy. She was annoyingly adorable beneath the dirt and grime, and she was in trouble. In way over her head, I told myself it wasn’t my job to keep her from drowning. In the Point, it was sink or swim, and I wasn’t the designated lifeguard on duty. I shut the door in her face, but now she’s gone…vanished…disappeared without a trace. It took less than a second for me to realize that I wanted her back. When a woman comes along that melts all the frozen, hard things you’re made of; you’ll do anything you have to, to bring her home. What you see is not always what you get…and with a man like me there is more than anyone ever bargained for.

Great addition to the series!
Man on man, Jay nailed this book! I devoured it once I was able to actually sit down and read it without being interrupted. The story jumps right in and grabbed my attention from the beginning and refused to let me go until the very end. It was heartbreaking, full of action, drama/angst, amazing chemistry, and tons of sweet moments!
Noe is a wicked awesome female lead. She's strong, a survivor, independent, smart, resourceful, sassy, and loving. What happened to her when she was younger, helped motivate her to help others in similar situations. Granted, some of her vigilante ways came back to bite her, but that's where our story begins. :D
Snowden Stark is such an uber smexy character! He's broody, covered in tats, wears glasses (LOVE IT), super smart, honorable, intimidating yet kind, socially awkward, protective, and doubly sexy with his dirty mouth! I love how he started to thaw towards Noe and became uber alpha and all protective of her. He ALWAYS had her back and the things he did for her just made me swoon! He's such a lovable guy and character.
I liked how Noe and Stark challenged each other and had each others backs. Their love for one another motivated them to become the best people and versions of themselves, and it was wonderful to watch it all unfold. Well done Jay on another great read!

I was expecting Booker and Karsen's story next after Nassir and Keelyn's so a few months ago when I heard it was Stark and Noe I was slightly disappointed. But I own and have read and will read everything Crownover writes. Once the promos started popping up for Dignity I started to get excited for the #boygenius. I bought Dignity and read it. Stayed up til 1:30 am to finish it, and I'd gone to bed at 3 am the morning before. It has to be one of my favorite books, and I don't have a favorite but this is definitely at the top of my list. I absolutely LOVE Stark🤓🤓 and
Noe and their story.😍😍

The Point hasn't met the real Stark...yet
Jay Crownover has created a masterpiece! In this newest addition of the Breaking Point series, we get inside the head of Boy Genius himself Snowden Stark. Stark has made other appearances in Point related books, but this time get to see things from his perspective and get an understanding in how is talented mind works. Stark is much more then a pretty face or a talented techie, but a great man who is most definitely not broken. There were times when I wanted to jump in the book and give him a kiss and occasionally slap him over the head, just as Noe Lee 😉.
As any man, Stak meets his match in the street smart, stubborn and feisty women Noe Lee. They make the perfect duo when working for the good or bad guys. Noe Lee challenges him when necessary and gets her hands dirty right alongside him. Most importantly they heal eachother in a way no one else could. Noe Lee is the perfect combination of what a survivor and women is.
In a plot that makes the real bad guys lose and the good guys get a chance, Jay Crownover keeps you glued to the book every page. All of Jay's fan and Point fans will fall in love and want to knock head right alongside the leading man and woman.
I tip my hat to you Jay!!
P.s. Old friends will make an appearance!!

... a huge Jay Crownover fan and she does another amazing job with this book
I am a huge Jay Crownover fan and she does another amazing job with this book. I have been looking forward to reading Stark and Noe's story for a while but this far surpassed anything I was expecting. It's gritty, it's real and it heart wrenching at times. It is particularly relevant give what has been going on in the world and the news in the last few weeks. I love that the Point is a place where even the guys and girls who are on the "wrong side of the law" are still heroes in their own way. Noe's character is so well done and really could be just about anyone you know who has lived through what she has. Stark is a fantastic combination of tough and sweet, and his brain power makes him that much sexier. The two of them together are an amazing powerhouse fighting for those who can't always fight for themselves. They may be my most favorite book couple to date!

Jay Crownover delivers another winner. Snowden and Noe are such dynamic and well-written characters. I couldn’t put it down once I started-need to find out what would happen next. I can’t wait for the next Breaking Point Novel.

Oh, Mr. Snowden Stark ♡
It's amazing when you find an author who has written numerous books, but you can continue to fall in love with each character they create. That is no different with Snowden and Noe! Jay never fails to impress with her writing skills and her ability to draw you into whichever story she has written. My favorite part of this book was all the little mentions of Stark and his glasses. You don't find many hero's who wear glasses and boy genius and his dark rimmed glasses easily capture your heart ♡

Another 5 star top read from Jay Crownover!
I have no idea how Jay Crownover manages to blow my mind with every new read. The Point is not a place known for happy endings. It's where bad guys go to get worse or get gone.
Stark, AKA our Boy Genius, has been living the somewhat low life after signing his life away to the Devil in The Point. He's like his machines: cold, effortless, and efficient. Cross him, his boss, or his low set of morals and he can wipe your existence from the electronic earth. Little does he know that a little thief has come in the night to steal away the hard wires he hides behind.
Noe has earned her spot on the streets; if the Devil is how you get in, then Noe is one way you can get out. She's worked hard to erase the past she left behind as she helps victims of abuse escape. But one heist leaves her in the cross-hairs of the one man who can dig enough in to her past to find her and put her back in the limelight of her dangerous past. And now he's the only man who can help save her.
The devil's in the details on this one as Noe slowly draws out more and more of Stark's personality as they race against time and a city that's after them. There is quote after quote that I could go back to that gutted me. Noe is a woman who is strong in a new way. She's been through something horrific that happens more than it ever should. And through it all she risks putting her self back in to the terrifying memories as she tries to help those going through a similar situation. Stark can't help but find beauty in the strengths that she shows. Noe awakens a part of Stark he hasn't felt since he was younger: the empathetic side that he only let loose when he vengeance got the best of him.
Watching Stark go from machine to man, emotionally, was so drool worthy. He's not know for much words but when he opens his mouth, boy does he have some lines that will make any girl fall. (#theearrings ... they KILL ME). There are snippets to those that we've seen in The Point as well. Ben's got his moment (swoon!) as well as Bax and Race's reputations play a part. And don't think that Titus sits out when all hell breaks loose on his city; the good-cop-acting-bad is a key player as Stark and Noe plan to take down the biggest criminal The Point has seen in some time. With a city on edge and one of the most electrifying couple I've ever read, DIGNITY is an automatic 5 star top read once again from Crownover!
