Book One of the Reckless Series
A Contemporary New Adult College Romance

Ellie and Logan's love story begins one hot August night…

Ellie

My mom betrayed me in the worst way possible. I can't forgive her, but I can outwit her. I'm going to unravel the family secret she's been keeping from me my whole life. So I'm going to college across the state from her, to the place that has the answers. I hope. But I have to be careful or I'll blow everything. I can't tell anyone what I'm doing.

I didn't mean to fall in love. I can't afford to give my heart away or open up to anyone, least of all charming, rich, former bad boy baseball star Logan Walker. But he looked so adorable sitting there nursing a black eye the night I met him at my very first campus event. The way he held my hand made me flush in the suffocating heat of August and feel really beautiful for the first time in so long I can't remember. My scar didn't even hurt.

But Logan's moods are mercurial. He's keeping secrets of his own that are too dark to share, even with me. We agree to be just friends. But our hearts and bodies have minds of their own. Before I know it, I'm in too deep with him and the answer to the family secret I came to campus to find may be the thing that tears us apart.

This is a contemporary romance with mature themes, language, and situations. Readers should be over 17!

My Review  3 STARS
As with most New Adult books there was lots of angst in this book along with lots of drama and emotion.

Ellie has moved college to get away from her mother, a woman who has always been in competition with her daughter and has recently slept with her boyfriend.  Ellie has only moved to this college because she believes that her father may be at this college as a professor.

Ellie meets Logan a boy who holds her attention and holds her hand as she goes for a piercing and likes him, and she alway makes friends with three girls Taylor, Bree and Nic.  Sex makes an awesome male friend and he also has a prankster side and helps get rid of a nasty professor, but also helps out Ellie with so many other things.  I really loved Dex.

Ellie and Logan meet again, but both have their secrets which do come between them in time and both find themselves gravitating towards each other even though they know they shouldn't be.

A good book, but it leaves you with quite a few questions.
