♦ reread November, 2019 ♦

Finally....the book where Kiera and Kellan are together, really "together" with no more separation. Well, it wouldn't be called Reckless if things only stayed that easy.

Kiera graduated from college and her and Kellan had their little celebration so they returned home to meet up with Keira's parents. Except they find Kellan's old roommate, Joey, there. She gets Kellan to pay for her furniture they threw out and then blackmails him for the sex tape she has of her and Kellan. Thinking that's the end of it, Kellan heads to Los Angeles to gets things ready for the D-bag tour that Kiera will be joining as soon as her parents leave.

Enter Drama...opps I mean Sienna....





Between her and Nick...thing get pretty awful. I've never felt so anxious while reading a book! I seriously wanted them both dead!!





I think one of the biggest problems for me about this book is that the problems with them went on and on and on. It was total angst city!

I l♥ve Kellan. I always have since the beginning when you just knew he would be the one for Kiera. And I still love him...Hello ABC's!! But the thing that really wraps him up in my heart is his vulnerability. Those moments when he's hurting just kill me.

I felt that Kiera really matured in this book. Some of the things she did were sooo unselfish. I'm not sure I could even consider them. But I felt that SCS went on a bit too much with Kiera and that got a bit old.

I loved them both being so honest with each other (finally) but you just knew when they agreed to the video that things would be awful. I just wasn't prepared for it to bother me so much! I loved...and hated that it bothered Kellan so much and I loved...and hated how he went through things. It was killer!!





As things progressed, it was really hard to read and there were some things that I didn't like the way they were handled. Thankfully, enough was enough and just as Kiera and Kellan took a stand, things went crazy again. I could not believe that I actually cried!! After that, it was pretty smooth sailing...or should I say, nice and oily and boot stompin'!





Almost too smooth and too perfect. I think SCS went just a tad overboard on Every. Single. Female. Ogling. and Foaming. At. The Mouth. Over. Kellan. And not that Kellan and Kiera don't deserve happiness...they do but it was overkill especially the part with Ryder. I wish that part wouldn't have happened and that the original plan would have stuck.

I definitely enjoyed the book. Like I said, I love Kiera and Kellan but Griffin was hilarious. He really came into his own. I loved how he matured and took care of Anna and Gibson! The rest of the band members were great (loved the water fights) and the guys from the other bands were awesome (especially Justin and Deacon), and all the family members and Kiera's friends from Seattle. I love how they were all so supportive and involved with each other.

What??!! No mention of Denny? Ugh...Denny drove me crazy in this book. It was almost like he wanted them to fail. I keep expecting an ulterior motive! Even with what he and Abby came up with at the end...while it was great, I wanted to scream "Where were you when they needed you, MATE?? Okay, rant over!

I think everything wrapped up really well and we got everything we wanted. I'm sad it's over but in a good way although I did hear SCS say in an interview that she is 'considering' writing the first book from Kellan's POV. Now...that would be heaven.

I love this book trailer: Reckless
