Reckless Weekend

Reckless Beat #2.5

by Eden Summers

In Vegas, a lot can happen in twenty-four hours.

What do you get when you mix a rock band as hot as Reckless Beat, women strong enough to capture several of the bad boys’ hearts, and a bet that sparks a competitive streak?

Boundaries will be pushed, alcohol will be abused, and loads of sarcasm will be shared.

Once the games are over, it’s time to make a commitment. But love in the limelight is never easy. The past is trying to catch up with the present, and the pressure may be too hard to handle.

Seduction, torment, laughter, and heartbreak—one reckless weekend will test each member of the band and the women who’ve claimed their love.

3.5* and spoilers ahead


I think I need to investigate exactly what this author uses to write because I'm addicted to this series though I literally cringed at certain aspects of the story.......yet I couldn't put the book down

Leah getting off with the clit piercer
Sean banging the salon attendant who waxed his junk( finding out he regularly has these "happy endings" after getting waxed just "thrilled" me 🤢
Gabi finding out Blake had slept with Kate.
Gabi's insecurities are painful to read. I'd really like to see her come into her own.

☝These were all parts of this book that I read with one eye closed fervently hoping my safety loving heart didn't quit on me.

Then we had
Mitch and Alana's sweet wedding
Gabi's sad news that had me blubbering like a baby
Blake and Gabi's wedding.
The guys antics as they tried to complete the tasks,( Mason's eyebrow 😂)

☝These were just some of the moments that made me happy I gave this series a try.

This series has been a definite roller coaster for me but I'm moving on to the next.......praying my safety loving heart will bear up under the strain!

eta- there's thankfully a lot of condom use in this series so my HIV buzzer stays in silent 😂😂😂😂

Hotness Rating 4 out of 5

I had the great fortune of getting an advanced, advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was amazing! Far hotter than any other Eden Summers book and she writes hot stories. Get ready for an emotional roller coaster that you won't want to get off. One minute I was steamy hot and the very next second I was wiping my eyes. Throw in some laughs and witty smart ass comments by the guys and this book is a hit!

For those of you that have read the first 2 books in the Reckless Beat series you know that a wedding is in the works for Mitch and Alanna.

“I didn’t know happiness until I found you. I didn’t know love until your lips brushed mine. And I’ll never go another day without you in my life. You are everything to me.”

What better way to have a last hurrah than to get the entire gang together for a bachelor/bachelorette party in Vegas? Throw in wild girl versus guy dares, high emotions, and big egos and you get one of the best short stories I've ever read. Eden Summers is so good at writing the hot, sarcastic rockers. You never know what is going to come out of their mouths next.

“You look a little pasty, bro.” Blake smirked.

“I can’t remember what I’m meant to do.”

Mason leaned over Blake’s shoulder. “It’s easy. All you have to do is hand over your balls and spend the rest of your life in misery.”

This book showed new sides to the characters we've come to love and gave us more insight into the characters that we will hopefully get to know better, in the future.

I am so addicted to the boys from Reckless Beat. This is the Batchelor/ette Party Vegas style for Mitchell and Alana. Gabi and Blake are back as are Sean, Mason, Ryan and Leah. Craziness is bound to happen when both parties create must do list on their separate parties. This novella was incredible. I laughed, cried and fell in love with Eden Summers all over again. I wasn't sure if I should be wringing out my panties or my hankie. Let's not forget the steamy sex scenes. After reading the first two books; Blind Attraction and Passionate Addiction, I was not disappointed with Reckless Weekend. The only bad part of this book was it ended way too soon. I need more Reckless Beat but I will have to wait until the next adventure with the boys. Well done, MUST READ!!!

[Delilah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reckless Weekend is definitely one of the BEST Reckless Beat books to date! Eden Summers has shown us a side of the Reckless Beat guys you won't soon forget. Smokin' hot and laugh out loud funny Reckless Weekend will also have you grabbing for the tissues. Kudos to Ms. Summers for delivering the MUST READ rock star book of the year!

Review to come.

Oh, my gosh, the feels! I loved this book! This novella was amazing! It furthered Mitch and Alana's story, as well as Gabi and Blake's, without revealing much about the other stories to come in the series. It also sets up Mason's story and reveals just how much a family the band really is. This story was so enriching to the Reckless Beat tapestry, that I believe it can't be missed!

[Shayna · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Reckless Beat boys ROCK MY WORLD! I absolutely love this Rock Star Romance series. Hilarious, sexy, and emotional, Reckless Weekend hits all the right spots. It will have you laughing out loud and holding back tears as you are immersed in this crazy world that you will definitely want to be a part of.

There back! Mason, Mitchell, Blake, Ryan, and Sean. Oh how I've missed your shenanigans!

Reckless Beat + Alcohol + Las Vegas = Maybe not such a good idea!

I hear wedding bells and everyone is in Vegas to celebrate! A night full of crazy games, very poor decisions, and debauchery all around.

Let's just say when there is a line in the book that states:

❝Number one - one person has to swallow Alligator Sperm, then have Sex on the Beach with a Cock-sucking Cowboy.❞

who wouldn't want to read more?!

Not only is Reckless Weekend ****ing hilarious, because we all know that Eden Summers has a dirty, dirty mind; it will also get to you on a deep emotional level. I'm talking loud, heavy, ugly crying! Be prepared....grab tissues, lots and lots of tissues.

The couples we all know and love are having some troubles with their relationships and life in general. It's not easy being in love with a Rock Star 24/7. They have baggage, you have baggage. It's all bound to come out at the worst times. Real life has to step in and kick your ***, that's just the way it works. These relationships will be tested, the events will break your heart, but love will get them through the toughest times, and their relationships will only get stronger.

❝I just need you to be mine. And I need to be yours.❞

What I absolutely loved about Reckless Weekend, was the fact that it didn't center around one or two people. It was about everyone. When you love all the characters as much as I do, you get excited when each one pops up and makes and entrance you'll never forget, and for this book Mason stole the show. The lead singer of Reckless Beat is a whiny, grumpy, pain in the ***, and all you want to do is kiss that gorgeous ***. This story shined a light on Mason's demons, and let me tell you the Epilogue will drive you MAD! Be prepared, to say "What the ***k just happened?" You are killing me Ms. Summers!

The Reckless Beat series is one of my favorite Rock Star series out there today. Even in a novella, Eden Summers hits it out of the park with another hilarious, emotional, and steamy story that will knock your bra and panties off! No lie! These men are HOT! Very well done Ms. Summers. Now GIVE ME MORE MASON.....pretty please!

I have to end my review with a very insightful quote from the ever so sexy and grumpy, Mason Lynch! This is a point in the story where Ryan asks Mason how he picks up women.

❝Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen, buddy.❞ Mason shrugged. ❝And it helps that I'm ****ing awesome.❞

Oh Mason...what are we going to do with you?

Eden Summers sure knows how to get the attention of her readers. Reckless Weekend is a great re-cap of what is happening in the lives of our Reckless Beat men/band. Eden will hook from the start keep you in a suspense then let you in and in the meantime create another. The sex is hot. If you thought you knew and fell in love with the band and their ladies you will fall head over heel more in love with them then ever. Reckless Weekend raised curiosity in areas I never dreamed. I highly recommend Reckless Beat by Eden Summers.

Alana is in full stress mode for her upcoming wedding to Mitch. The gang has agreed to a bachelor/bachelorette challenge where Mitch and Alana get to compete for a choice of their honeymoon destination, and Alana is hell bent on winning. The challenges each group has come up with were rather funny. Hysterical even, once the alcohol started to flow. But the evening wasn't all fun and games for everyone. In true Reckless Beat fashion, there was laughter, tears, love and drama.

I loved the little snippet with Leah that wasn't just very sexy scene, but it gave me a little more insight into Leah as a person. I learned a little more about her past and what she wants for her future. I hope that the tattoo artist will make a reappearance somewhere in future books. I loved his parting words to her as well, hence why I want him to come back.

Sean was probably the most comfortable with his challenge choice. I think it may have been a set up for his story. My curiosity about the beautician is piqued, and if they are indeed meant to become a couple, I feel there could be some heartache involved. Call it a gut feeling.

Sean's challenge melted over into Mason's, and oh boy was that funny. Funny to the reader, but not so much for Mason. After what went down there, I'm surprised the two of them haven't tried to kill each other before this.

On the girl's side, the most drama surrounded Gabi, and my heart broke for her. I couldn't blame her for her feelings and her reaction towards the other ladies who said a little too much. Even I wouldn't have wanted to hear all of that. It was so sweet how the entire group came together to support her and Blake. Despite all the crazy behavior those guys get into, that moment showed just how good there really were at their core.

Alana and Mitch sailed through their problems with flying colors. Mitch took care of her, and she allowed him to. I liked seeing her a little more confident this time around.

There was a little bit of a shocker at the end, and now I'm dying to read Mason's story.

The Bottom Line

This was an excellent novella to keep us occupied until book three comes out. I really liked that it involved everyone we'd already met from the first two books and that it showed them at their best and at their worst, all together. The entire group really does see itself as a family, even if one or two members may be too stubborn to admit it. Some will have issues they need to work out on their own, but at the end of the day, they're there for one another.

If you haven't read the first two books you may not grasp why these friends felt the need to come up with a crazy plan for Alana, why Gabi felt the way she did, and why Blake stepped up the way he did. I recommend reading the first two books before picking this up so you'll get the full impact of it. For fans of the series, you had better pick this up. Wild, heart-warming, memorable.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Let me begin by saying that I cheated myself by not reading the previous books in the series first. For some reason I thought it was a standalone, and in a way it was OK because I could follow the story just fine but it was obvious that I was missing all the background that built up to the events in this book. So as soon as I finished I bought books 1 and 2 so that I could be caught up.

This story takes place in a 24 hour period in Las Vegas for the wedding of Allie and Mitch. The main plot is split between them and also Blake and Gabi. If I'd read the first two books I would've known their stories of how they got together. The other band members of Reckless also appear and are dealing with conflicts that probably began in previous books and that I hope are addressed in future ones.

I knew I was in for a treat when 3% into the book, Mitch is saying to Allie, "Please, baby. Please, let me f*** your mouth." That set the tone for all the physical interactions between those two. Their love scenes were intense and sizzling hot; Mitch is a sexy dirty talker just how I like. Allie's all stressed out about having the perfect wedding and it's causing her to not enjoy any of it. Mitch is excellent at distracting her from the outside world and getting her to concentrate on what's truly important, which is just the two of them.

Blake and Gabi are dealing with a significant loss which Gabi was hoping to keep hidden from everyone, including Blake, until after the wedding. She didn't want to be responsible for ruining the most important day of their best friends' lives. But she learns that these rock stars aren't just friends, but they care for and love one another like family and they're all more concerned about her and Blake than they are a perfect wedding weekend.

This was a story of love found for some, and love seemingly lost for others but for all of them they cemented their bonds as a chosen family that is there no matter what, even when blood family isn't. There were also some hysterically funny parts due to the bachelor/bachelorette party challenges. I laughed out loud several times while also getting teary eyed at others because of the deep tenderness and devotion that was expressed.

I can't wait to read the first 2 books, then there are also 2 more after this one. The series order is: Blind Attraction (Reckless Beat #1), Passionate Addiction (Reckless Beat #2), Reckless Weekend (Reckless Beat #2.5), Undesired Lust (Reckless Beat #3), and Sultry Groove (Reckless Beat #4), and Goodreads shows a Reckless Rendezvous (Reckless Beat #4.5) novella coming out soon. If you enjoy red-hot, sexy rockers then this series is definitely for you!

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a wild bachelor/ette weekend in Vegas with the Reckless Beat gang. Mitch and Alana are supposed to be celebrating, but stress is getting to them. Mitch wants Allie to let loose. She just wants the wedding to go off without a hitch. A crazy set of party challenges sets off a competitive girls vs. boys night full of fun and hijinks.

This crew is so crazy and so much fun. They are doing things they never expected and taunting each other along the way. There are some hot encounters and funny situations. But there are also interpersonal issues and rivalries simmering under the surface.

And of course the weekend would not be complete without some drama. Gabi is upset about something and afraid to ruin everyone's fun. She and Blake have a few things to work out themselves. And Mitch and Alana are trying to hold it together during all of the craziness. And Mason always seems to stir up something. But this group is there for each other when it counts and really are a pseudo-family. We share some happy, sweet moments...and some hilarious ones...and some emotional and sexy ones too. This continues Alana, Mitch, Blake and Gabi's stories while teasing us a bit with the other characters. The banter is sarcastic and fun, the feelings are real, and there is definitely a steam factor. And all of this is just the lead in for the wedding.

This was a fun, sexy, emotional, sweet, and romantic novella. I enjoyed getting more with the couples from Blind Attraction and Passionate Addiction and seeing the continued progression in their relationships. This was told in multiple points of view of all of the main characters so we got to see into many of their heads. The guys are hot and full of personality. The girls are sassy and tough enough to take them on. When they fall, they fall hard and don't let go. I am looking forward to more with the rest of the band Ryan, Sean and Mason. And also their manager, Leah and Allie's friend, Kate. And I am even wondering if a new woman we met in this one, Maree might be back(she and a certain man had some chemistry). I can't wait to see who is the next to fall in the next book in the series.

Thanks to Eden Summers for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Eden Summers takes the Reckless Beat gang on the road in Reckless Weekend, with all our favourite characters joining Alana and Mitchell on bachelor and bachelorette nights out in Vegas for a night full of fun, laughs and shenanigans.

With Alana and Mitchell’s wedding just around the corner, all our beloved Reckless Beat characters join the happy, if not somewhat stressed, couple as they head to Las Vegas for a weekend of challenges, excitement and alcohol infused dares in the lead up to their big day. What can go wrong as our beloved characters celebrate the upcoming nuptials with all the sex, sarcasm and tantalizing chemistry we’ve come to expect from this series?

I have to say I really loved the blend of fun and seriousness Eden Summers weaves into this novella. Reckless Weekend is a seriously fun tale to read. The challenge between the guys versus girls was laugh out loud funny at times and the cheeky dares came undone in spectacular fashion. However, Summers also mixes a lot of deep emotion and even loss into this tale as two of our beloved characters have a painful situation to deal with.

Told through the varying POV’s of multiple characters, there’s plenty of laughs amongst the tears in Reckless Weekend as we get to know some of the other characters in the series we haven’t previously followed. Leah’s, Sean’s and Ryan’s were three voices I enjoyed following and whose stories I’m very excited about reading in the future.

Coming into the series late means I have an idea of where certain plot arcs are going and who’s going to be paired with who, so I’m enjoying seeing Eden Summers set little things in motion. I love being able to jump from one book straight into the next and loved seeing our two past couples, Alana and Mitchell and Blake and Gabi feature in this story alongside all their friends.

Reckless Weekend also sets the stage for the next full length novel, Undesired Lust with our first glimpse into the mind of Mason and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave you wondering what the fate of Reckless Beat will be.

A great novella and addition to the series you won’t want to miss, Reckless Weekend doesn’t disappoint and leaves me raring for more!

Leave it to the guys of rock band Reckless Beat to simultaneously make a reader laugh, cry and want to strangle them, hot or not!


In Reckless Weekend, author Eden Summers gives fans something to chew on while we wait for the next full length Reckless Beat novel. Eden manages to give each guy some page time while still moving the story along. Band members Sean, Ryan, Mason, Blake and Mitch love each other like brothers, definitely fight like brothers and those who are familiar with the series know that these guys just can't be in the same room together without getting into some kind of trouble!

More like a "What happened after Passionate Addiction," Reckless Weekend turns the sometimes juvenile but always loyal friends lose in Las Vegas for one last "Huzzah!" before Mitch and Alana get married.What starts off as a good intention meant to give the once sheltered Alana a night of harmless fun soon turns into chaos and revelations that force characters to confront issues that they've previously brushed under the rug.

Most novellas leave me feeling cheated because they're so rushed and have a heat level of one or worse. I love how Eden Summers can make a novella feel like a full length novel. I never feel like I'm being cheated out of my time or money and that's very important to me.

I always love being able to come back and see previous couples and with Reckless Weekend I feel I really got to spend quite a bit of time with not only Mitch and Alana but Blake and Gabi as well. As much fun as this story was, it's not just a filler story with no real use aside from a good time. Eden reminds readers of previous conflicts in a subtle way, hinting that the next Reckless Beat book won't be an easy one.

The characters, their connection and of course, their hijinks makes Reckless Weekend a rare treat that I'm happy to go back to over and over again.

Final Verdict: I have loved this series from the very start and Reckless Weekend is a welcome addition to that series. There's plenty of laughs to be had as well as some very sexy scenes with Mitch and Alana. If you haven't read this series before, this is a perfect way to sample this very entertaining group of people.

Wedding bells are ringing for Mitch and Alana are heading for the alter, but before they do it’s bachelor/bachelorette party time in Vegas! And you know the saying, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Alana is a ball of nerves, stressing over the wedding and how the fans will judge her if things aren’t just perfect! She needs to prove to them, that she is worthy of Mitch and the band. Mitch just wants Allie(Alana) to let go, be free and have fun! It’s decided that they will do a scavenger hunt.

Dear God, what a list the girls give the guys! I about fell over and died of laughter, but they were all good sports about it. The girls list was pretty tame compared to the guys. Sex on the beach, get something pierced, etc. But the guys list, huh! I’d have tapped out and said, to hell with it, we lose! Get something waxed, run naked @ a fountain, pennies in your pocket, etc.

What I liked is that this book was not 100% about Mitch and Allie and their upcoming wedding. The other band members had important parts too. They were all blended in and made to feel like a family. I really liked all the characters, they all had their own voice and persona, as they should. Plus, the sex scenes were pretty hot too! All in all I loved the book and the characters. I was all over the place with emotions and then the end. I was freaked out. What was he going to do? Was he going to cause problems? Could this cause a rift between Allie and Mitch? OH no!!

Thank you Eden for the ARC of this book. I really enjoyed it and the other 2 books as well!!

[Naomi · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an exhilarating read!! Right from the beginning I was thrust into a steamy situation before heading out for a humorous night on the town with the boys and girls going their separate ways. In the previous books we followed Mitch and Alana, as well as Blake and Gabi, but in this quick read we also get perspectives from the other band members and Leah too. I liked getting to know everyone else a bit more, seeing their dirty minds at work and how far each of them will go for each other.

Even though the guys and gals have gone out separately, it was a freakin’ funny night. I was actually reading whilst on the treadmill and nearly tripped a few times because I was laughing so hard! There are some tasks that have been set, that need to be completed for each group and they had me in stitches!! And Leah… hawt damn girl! Give her some liquid courage and she dives off the deep end! I love her!

There was a time in the book that my heart broke and I was so happy that they all came together as a family and helped each other in this time of need. The guys are brothers because of their band and treat each other as such. They back each other with everything they do and I was happy to see something good come out of a distressing situation. The ending was beautiful, the epilogue has me curious and I’m excited to see what is going to happen now.

I had the pleasure of reading an ARC. This book is AMAZING!

I loved this series! It just keeps getting better and better with every book. I laughed and cried and then laughed while I was crying. (I think I might have scared my hubby. Lol) Reckless Weekend was also the hottest book! I mean it was on fire! So without further ado my Top Five reasons to read Reckless Weekend!

5. Mason gets his due for being an ass… more than once. LOL best wax scene EVER!!! I laughed till I cried!
4. Leah gets her night rocked and something pierced. Her face when someone asks for a picture is epic!! What happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas!
3. Even more proof that Gabi is the strongest and most selfless person alive and Blake made me fall in love all over again.
2. Two Words…. Spa Treatments!!! LMAO “Yes I am orange. Let’s hope it washed off.”
1. The weirdest looking wedding party/family. Yes there is a wedding!!! So like I said tissues are a must cause those vows are wonderful!

And all that doesn’t even scratch the surface. There is also alligator sperm, dining and not quite ditching, piss flavored beer and STREAKING!!!! Yes now I know I have intrigued you! I highly recommend this series to EVERYONE! These rock stars are written amazingly and after every book leave you wanting more. It is impossible to have a favorite because they all are so amazing. I can’t wait for the next book… which had better be Mason’s!! Lol

LEEANN'S REVIEW - 5 Stars

Although this was technically a novella, I didn't get to the end feeling like it was too short.
Eden Summers has hit it out of the ball park again!!

I laughed so much reading the first half of Reckless Weekend I had tears running down my face. This story is about Mitchell and Alana's wedding. They have decided to have bachelor/Bachelorette party challenge. They have exchanged a list of dares to be completed at their respective parties. The challenges they have to complete and the way they go about it is Hilarious! I seriously could not stop laughing.

Unfortunately though, while this is all going on something has happened to Gabi and she is clearly upset and trying to put on a brave front so no one's night is ruined.

Despite everything that is going on the night turns out much more memorable the anyone could have anticipated.

The day of the wedding brings an unexpected and uninvited guest and Mitch is very worried that Alana's day will be ruined and puts measures in place so that doesn't happen. The wedding is very emotional and beautiful and goes off without a hitch.

If you have read the previous 2 books in this series you really don't want to miss Reckless Weekend, it is hilariously funny and highly emotional. It will make you laugh and possibly cry.

I'm so glad I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing this series so far and I cannot wait to see what Eden Summers does with the rest of the Reckless Beat crew!!

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG, this book was great! This book was pitched to me as a stand-alone, but I read and reviewed books one and two in this great series and I highly recommend you do that. You will get to know the characters much better and that will make this book all that much more enjoyable!

The Reckless Beat gang heads to Vegas for a crazy weekend before Mitch and Alana's wedding. In an attempt to get Alana to have a good time, a competition is created. The women give the men a list of things they must do before 10:00 pm and the men give the women a list. I admit I was laughing out loud at these characters! The men were especially funny. They consider each other family, however, they are often antagonizing each other to the point of a fist fight.

"Shit!" Mason broke the silence. "It's five to ten." Without warning, the Reckless Beat front man threw his jacket to the ground and began working the buttons of his shirt. "What the hell are you doing?" Sean asked. "Someone has to do the fucking nude run. We have less than 5 minutes."

While there was a lot of fun and games, there was also some serious heartbreak.

I love all of these characters and can't wait to see how Mason, Sean, Ryan and Leah's stories play out. I'm looking forward Undesired Lust next! I received this copy in exchange for my honest review.

[Valerie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alana was so sheltered and so innocent when she met Mitchell. She was a small town girl whose background wasn’t pretty through no fault of her own. Then she met Mitchell, a rock legend and some how some way they ended up together. Now in less than a week they would be married. First they just had to survive a quick trip to Vegas, a lot of silly “games” with the groomsmen and the bridesmaids and a secret that may rip the family of friends apart.

Wow! Where to begin? Though the story tentatively circles around Alana and Mitchell it is so much more than that. It’s about people who have created a family not by blood, but by true love and caring for one another. It’s about being there when you are needed even when the person who needs you doesn’t see it that way. It’s about trust, about understanding and about the real true kind of love (with a little of the hot stuff mixed in there as well.)

Ms, Summers has taken us into the world of Reckless a rock band made of the kind of family everyone wants to be a part of. I look forward to where Reckless will take us next! Definitely something to pick up!

[A.R. Von · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read this series from its start and have enjoyed each and every book and aspect altogether. Reckless Weekend is no different. I laughed, fell in love with the characters (all over again) and had a great reading experience with a huge side of fun. A great read for all series followers and any fans of the genre. Even though each CAN be read as a stand-alone. I strongly suggest reading the first two books of the series so you can get the full impact and get to know the characters, intimately, just as I have :)

There's a lot going on in this addition to the series and I don't want to give anything away and ruin it for the rest of you.What I can say is we get much more in touch with Blake & Gabi as well as Mitch & Alana. We also get to experience a lot more of this amazing family/group's playful side which I fully enjoyed experiencing.

Be ready for some awesome fun, surprises and a very strong desire for the next book of the series!

5 star

Vegas is fun right? When Mitchell’s idea to get Alana to have a great time turns into the band members getting waxed, drunk, and orange he wonders if she will ever forgive him. It was all supposed to just be everyone having a great time that quickly spiraled out of control……

Alana wanted everything to be perfect but with the band members looking like dumb and dumber she wonders if everything is ruined. Can she somehow fix everything to it’s once again perfect or will she have to settle for what could be a horrible day?

This book is loaded full of fun and laugh out loud moments. There are also tear filled and sweet moments. You get POVS from each of the boys and the girls. It is a short read and I must say I need the next book NOW!!

I highly recommend this story. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Eden Summers put me through the wringer with this one, one minute my panties were on fire the next I was laughing my head off and the BAM. Sobbing my heart out... How the fudge did she manage to do that you ask? Well for one she's an incredible author!
Her stories are always entertaining,sexy and well developed.
Her characters are relate able and real. I love how the Reckless Beat family all just mesh together, there is love,lust,fights and HILARIOUS BANTER between then all.
RW took a little serious side too, I related to this part of the story and it broke my heart for the couple involved.

It doesn't really work as a stand alone. There were reasons I read it when I did but I think anyone else reading it would want to read the earlier books first. The payoff would be much bigger and the story would have far more context.

Even so, I thought the novella tried to tackle too much in one and wasn't exactly sure what it wanted to be. It was erotic with lots of hot sex, it was funny with pranks and jokes between the bachelor and bachelorette party and then it was hella serious as well and I didn't think the transitions between were very smooth.

I hadn't been expecting the serious and it kind of blindsided me with one of my personal hot buttons so that didn't help either.

Woot! I love my boys from Reckless Beat! This book does not disappoint! Eden Summers has a way of making me laugh out loud, sigh with a fluttery heart, and hot...damn hot! This book has it all. There's a ton of witty banter between the boys and then some tissue worthy moments. Like ugly cry moments! And Mason....Jesus, you wanna smack him upside the head and then throw him down on a bed and have your wicked way with him! I freakin love him! I love the whole band! Can I have them all? Read this book...read the series from the start! Worth every cent!

Alana and Mitch are getting married so they take off for Vegas with their friends. The bachelor and bachelorette parties were hilarious as they have a to-do list of things that will make you laugh out loud. My heart broke for Gabi and Blake as they shared a loss and then shared something so very sweet together. Alana and Mitch are just sizzling as they share some pretty steamy moments together. What I loved about this book as well as the series is that these people are family. They share the ups and downs together. I really enjoyed this part of their story.

I give Reckless Weekend 4 hearts!

Sexy, great sense of humor, know how to have a good time, and great lovers: That describes all the members of Restless Beat. When they take off to Las Vegas with the ladies to have a joint bachelor/bachelorette party, mayhem ensues. From piercing to waxing, to strippers and full montys, you never know what will happen next. There is plenty of drama, angst, and hot sex on the road to matrimony, as well as lots of surprises. I was reading passages out loud to the ladies at the nail spa. Loved it! I laughed and cried, and then ooohed and ahhhhed.

Reckless Weekend is the book in needed to read! I got an ARC of the book and I was having an awful week!! Let's just say the boys and their ladies made my day better!

I love Reckless Beat!! These guys have brought me so much happiness and love. Reckless Weekend is so fun and I laughed so much at the guys antics. There was so much emotion with this weekend, not only with Mitchell and Alana's wedding plans but Gabi and Blake's love. Eden continues to make me love her books and bring her characters to life for me.
