I love them so much 🥹💖
============================
Background:
Maddie (27) only found out a day before her wedding that her fiance has been cheating on her for years. And still, she went to church because that was what was expected of her, and she's the girl who never goes astray and has been a rule-follower and people-pleaser.
But thinking about how her life turned out for the last three years, she realized she needed to change something about it. So instead of waiting at the altar for her cheating fiancé, she ran away from the venue. She didn't know where to go or what next steps to take, only that she had to get away and not to marry the jerk. And while in the middle of the road, she got caught up in her head with lots of thoughts about her life, career, and future, inadvertently causing traffic. 🫣
Fortunately (because it is! 🥹), Ethan (28) was sitting in one of those cars getting inconvenienced by Maddie, but when he saw her panic-stricken face and that lost look in her eyes, he felt an understanding and sympathy for her. So he ended up helping her and giving her a free ride to escape.
That same day, one of his brothers is getting married, and he's almost late to the ceremony. Seeing as he had no choice, he brought Maddie with him because he sensed that she didn't want to be left alone. And for some reason, he knew immediately that Maddie was too nice and timid to admit that. He even thought that she probably didn't want to be a burden to him, seeing as he's basically a stranger to her.
Luckily for Maddie, Ethan convinced her it's fine to tag along, and that made her felt a bit relieved. And, even though her day started so badly, the wedding ceremony made her sad heart lighter, especially when she witnessed the love between the bride and the groom.
Again, with nowhere to go and no one else to call because everyone she works with was hired by her ex and manager, except for her assistant. Ethan offered Maddie his spare room for the night.
The next morning, with all the chaos happening in her life, she decided to take a break in the meantime and go on a road trip to do some soul-searching. Still, there's no concrete plan—just that she needs to get away. Ethan chose to come along with her since he has a lot of spare time after selling his billion-dollar app. 🤭
============================
This is so freaking sweet and sappy as sh*t, but I'm here for it and loving every minute of it. These two, gaaawd, these two got me hooked from their first meet-disaster (it's not cute, so...) 🥹😂
Also, miscommunication? What is that??? It doesn't exist here, at least not between Ethan and Maddie, they probably never heard of that. 🤣 Because these two are one of the few couples I've ever read who openly communicate and never hide their thoughts from each other. They share every idea, aspiration, fear, concern, and thought running through their minds. I love that they're very quick to clear up any confusion and are determined to let the other party know what they truly meant with their actions and words. I just freaking loooove their honesty and transparency—basically with everything! 🥹
I also love how they're willing to compromise to make their relationship work. Knowing Maddie's schedule is hectic, they ended up having a LDR. They never fail to call or text one another to let them know or ask what happened to their day. The communication didn't stop despite the timezones, and Ethan tries to fly as much as he can to Maddie, even though he would only stay a night because he needed to see her or when he felt that she needed him when she's having a rough day. To be a billionaire, right? 🥹🤭
When they were finally dating for a whole month, most of it was Ethan traveling to see Maddie (he's not complaining about it). During this time, she's planning her surprise for him, which is her moving permanently to NY (she's living in Nashville). Like I said, compromise. She never had to think hard about doing this for them because, deep down, she knows it's the right thing to do, both romantically and career-wise. 💖
Also, I had so much fun with them being clingy AF to each other; they fit so perfectly that it's adorable and comical at the same time. 😂 They're so affectionate, protective, thoughtful, and supportive of one another, and damn, how I wish more authors wrote MCs like these. 🥹
I could still list more of the things that made me swoon and root for these two, but I've already written a long review. And this book is so freaking good (at least to me) and I ate up everything in it. 💖

Notes:
- OMD. Her nasty POS ex caused some drama, along with her prick manager. But Ethan and his brothers handled both of them.
- OWD. Not really; a married friend texted him to "hook up" and Maddie saw that text and jumped to the worst conclusion thanks to her cheating ex. But Ethan cleared things up and said that she's just a friend, and nothing happened between them.
- Insta-something. It was an instant attraction, for sure. It took them a week to realize their connection was something they never had before with anyone else and that they should explore it (when you know, you know, I guess 🤭), and in the story, there were time jumps included; they'd been dating for more than two months already before she found out the pregnancy.
- Celibate. Ethan has always been the romantic and relationship type of guy, and he's not into ONS. When his ex stole half a million from him, he decided to do some soul-searching over the last 15 months. He went to Europe and cut off communication with his family. He's been celibate for just as long. There was also one scene where he clarified his stance on dating. He said that he had five girlfriends and two ONS (tried and hated it). As for Maddie, there's no mention about her last action, but I think it has been months since she said she and her ex were having problems, and as for boyfriends, she had three. Not into ONS as well.
- Surprised pregnancy. When Maddie figured it out, she'd already been late for two weeks. She realized she might be pregnant; she knows she is, but she still wants the test. Then she told Ethan right away about it, and he wasn't in the right headspace at that moment because he just had a heart-to-heart talk with his dad. They were fixing their relationship, so his emotions were all over the place. And his initial reaction to her news was saying "fxck" and a question (I forgot what it was). But this same response was her ex's reaction when she told him about her pregnancy. And all the trauma she had from that and her abortion (she was gaslighted to do it) came into place. She ended up leaving for London; this interview was already set, but she also used this opportunity to run away from Ethan. But thank God, he didn't let a day pass, and he took the earliest flight to follow her and explain why he reacted like that.
Ps. I'm excited about Gage and Amelia's story. Both are single parents and their daughters are newly found besties. I think they have a dislike (h) to love going on in between them. Also, Gage's ex-wife is in the picture, and even though she's already engaged to someone else, she's still being a witch for some reason. 😑

She looks at me. “LOL. Everyone’s heard of John Mayer, Ethan.”

Serideki Black erkekleri çok tatlılar, düşünceliler, anlayışlılar, sevmeyi biliyorlar 😍
Çiftimiz Maddie ve Ethan ise iletişim kurabilen, toksik olmaktan uzak, güzel bir çiftti. En sevdiğim🤌🏼
Ethan, abisi Callan'ın düğününe yetşmeye çalışmaktadır.Zaten araları biraz soğuktur.Hem gecikmemek, hemde yüzüğü yetiştirmek için yoğun trafikte acele eder. Trafiği karıştıran geline müdahale etmesi de bu yüzdendir.Ama yüzündeki korku ifadesini görünce, arabaya binmesi için davette bulunması da kaçınılmazdır.
Maddie ünlü bir country sanatçısıdır.Ve evlenmek üzeredir.Ama aylardır içine sinmeyen bir duygu karmaşası içindedir.Doğru mu yapıyor evlenmekle?Erkek arkadaşının aynı zamanda ünlü olmasında büyük katkısı vardır.Kariyerinin her anlamda yöneticisidir.Tıpkı özel yaşantısında olduğu gibi. Ethan Black adında bir çıkış yolu bulunca bunu kulanır.
Maddie ve Ethan çifti belirttiğim gibi sevimliydi.Birlikte seyahat ederler ve bir yandan da kendilerini keşfederler.Aralarında ki duygular yoğunlaştıkça olaylar da gelişir.
Ethan bir yandan ailesi ile olan ilişkilerini düzene sokmaya çalışırken Maddie'de basınla uğraşır.Yeniden ayağa kalkmaya çalışır.Bu süreçte de birbirlerine destek olurlar.
Bir anlık falso dışında her şey pürüzsüzdü çift arasında.Sevdiğim gibi. 😍

I loved getting lost in Maddie and Ethan's adventure! I love how they met, I love how they connected, I love how they made this a 5-star read for me. These two are just perfect. She's lovable and spunky and he's tender and bossy and together they just feel real. "No lies, No games"
I love how most of the story is a dialogue between the main characters, the banter, the emotions, and even some of the lingo that I had to Google to understand (you'll see what I mean- be prepared to have plenty of LOL moments).
Now don't get me wrong there are plenty of other fantastic characters *Cough Cough BROTHERS* that made this book a great read, and trust me they made me curious about their story. I can't wait!
I devoured this book and fell in love with Ethan Black and his beautifully sweet County Star!
I absolutely love Recklessly, Wildly Yours!

Ethan is one exceptional man. He is absolutely the most honest man you could ever meet. He lives his life for him. Maddie is one strong. Beautiful woman. She has a lot of baggage. Love the back and forth between them. They have a connection unlike anyone else. They complete each other in ways everyone should be lucky enough to find. Could not put this book down. Can’t wait to read more. The ending was perfect.

Loved this book! Runaway bride who’s also a country rockstar with a psycho (now) ex, who has a meet-cute with one of the billionaire Black brothers. They found each other at the right time to overcome their baggage, their relationship is full of banter from the start and the book has you laughing out loud. Nina Levine writes brilliant characters, I just wish this book was a bit longer as I could have kept reading about Maddie and Ethan.

Recklessly, Wildly Yours is the third book in the Only Yours Series. Nina is bringing us more Black Brothers goodness. And, Ethan is pure book boyfriend gold. You are about to go on an adventure with Ethan and Maddie that begins with a cute-meet, will have you LOL’ing, seriously, LOL’ing because their banter is on point, and their chemistry is insta everything with all the amazing O’s. I am #teamninalevine and this book encompass why. Nina writes longer, detailed reads. I DEVOURED this book in two sittings. Adulting, nope. Reading, yep. If you are new to Nina, no worries, you will follow along fine. However, I cannot guarantee that once you pick up one of her books you will be able to hold back and not grow your TBR. To this day, Ashton Scott is still one of my favorite Alphamales- Nina or otherwise.

Finding out her fiancée has been cheating on her has Maddie rethinking her life choices. Now she's a runaway bride, literally, and scared and freaked out and causing a traffic jam, when one of the people being inconvenienced by her stopping traffic, offers her a ride to somewhere safe. It's a meeting for the ages because now she and Ethan have forged a connection that neither wants to let go of. But how can a man who's recently come back out of a hiatus from life and a country star who's run from a man she doesn't want, and a manager who isn't on her side, make anything work? Especially when their schedules are so hectic they don't get to be in the same place at the same time very often.
I love alphas (Ashton Scott!!) but cinnamon rolls like Ethan are just as awesome. He's ooey gooey sweet on the inside, hard muscles on the outside, and gone for Maddie the minute he lays eyes on her looking so obviously distressed. Maddie had been the good girl for so long, doing what her manager wanted, doing what her fiancée wanted, and not thinking about what she really wanted. Then along came this sweet guy who only wanted to take care of her from the minute they met. It's no wonder they fell into something from page 1, because these two sweethearts deserved happiness and someone who'd love them for themselves, not for money, fame, or anything else. I adore Maddie and Ethan, now I'm waiting impatiently for the next book in this series, Yours Until Forever. I don't know who the couple is, but if they're anything like Ethan and Maddie, I know I'll love them too.

This is my first time reading this author, and at first, I thought I was not going to enjoy the writing style—it is different to the styles I like. This book was, however, a pleasant surprise. Ethan Black, and the famous country singer, Madeline/Maddie Miller. Ethan is one of the Black brothers and an entrepreneur, whereas Maddie is a famous country singer.
Maddie found herself in a position whereby she allowed others—namely her country singer fiancé and manager—to take full control of her life. They dictated everything she did from what songs she sang to when she must get married. On her wedding day, Maddie, having just found out that her fiancé had been cheating on her from day one of their relationship, decided to take that control back. Having made up her mind, she became the “runaway bride”, causing a traffic jam in the streets of Manhattan. It is there where she meets Ethan who offered to help her get away.
There was an instant attraction between the two and, after some discussion, Ethan decided to accompany Maddie on an impromptu road trip—she needed to center herself and decide what she wanted to do going forward, and Ethan was not going to let her do it on her own. It was during this road trip that the attraction between them intensified, and feelings started to develop. Maddie’s ex and manager were, however, not going to let her go, still thinking that they had control over her life. When they realized that they could not influence Maddie anymore, they started badmouthing her in the industry and media, hoping to get her back in line through that approach. Fortunately, Maddie was able to fight them with the help of Ethan and his brothers.
I was not sure at first, but ultimately, I enjoyed Ethan and Maddie’s story. It was mostly about two people getting to know each other, working through the issues of everyday relationships and life, and falling in love. The author takes a deep dive into their feelings, giving the book an emotional vibe; a lot of focus is placed on healing from past trauma and finding inner strength. It started out as lust, but Ethan and Maddie grew together as a couple, and it eventually became love. Maddie realized soon enough that she was falling for Ethan, but it took Ethan a while longer to even think in that direction. In fact, he only admitted to his feelings at the 90%+ mark—if he realized this sooner, the reader was not privy to it, and it made me wonder if it was lust or love on his part.
Ethan had a great personality: he knew when to make jokes and when to be serious, and I liked his philosophy about life. Maddie wasn’t bad either: once she decided to fight back, she was all in. The tension in their relationship was low with only one issue cropping up towards the end when Ethan did not react how he should have—and Maddie should have made him grovel more for forgiveness—but other than that, it was fine. Maddie’s ex-fiancé and manager were somewhat one-dimensional, though. They played a big part in her trauma but were somewhat on the fringes of the story; we didn’t really get to know them or their motivations. Ethan’s family featured prominently in the book, and it was nice to see the familial bonds.
The storytelling was good, but the writing not so much: commas were missing, quotation marks were left out, and sentence construction was poor; at times it felt like the author did direct translations from another language (to English). Nevertheless, the story itself was captivating, hence I have downloaded the next book in the series. Mind you, I did not read the first two books because the blurbs did not speak to me, but I will definitely be reading Gabe’s story.

Recklessly, Wildly Yours is all kinds of swoony goodness. Nina Levine continues to give us men who not only love fiercely but respect their women like the goddesses they are. With Ethan Black, he not only allows Madeleine Montana Miller to shine like never before but finds in her the love he never thought possible. Or even deserved. The recently absent Black brother, I was always curious about the whys of his leaving for Europe and how he would settle in, once home for older brother Callan's wedding. If that would be for good or would this just be another stop in finally feeling worthy of the Black name without any influence from his stoic father and 4 brothers. Happily, my questions were answered in time, completely enamored with Ethan and his journey to bliss with Maddie by his side.
This book is the kind of love story that simply makes you feel giddy inside. Maddie as the runaway bride gives Ethan the chance to show his selfless side as he provides the country star with an escape in the crowded streets of NYC. Their meet-cute leads to time together at the afore-mentioned Callan's wedding that same day, then leading to adorable texts and a want neither had ever felt before. Sure, they both could appreciate how beautiful the other was when forced together in the back seat of a town car as Maddie fled her wedding to the nasty Tucker Brandt, also a country music star. But it's the way they simply got one another right from the start that had each craving more.
I loved Ethan's penchant for adventure, deciding on the spot to accompany Maddie on a road trip, giving her joy that she didn't even fully realize she was missing from her life. Getting to watch them fall in love one sharp barb at a time was wonderful. They could both give as good as they received, providing the perfect foreplay for steamy trysts they couldn't get enough of. And those schmexy scenes were wicked hot and provided a worthy counter to the pillow talk that at times had each stopping in their tracks. It was touching for both Ethan and Maddie to realize that there could be someone who fully understood them, warts and all.
However, I will say that the fallout from Maddie's decision not to marry Tucker was perhaps too easily taken care of. I think I was expecting a bit more in terms of difficulty in how she ruined their partnership, throwing more wrenches into her burgeoning relationship with Ethan. But there is very little angst, I suppose due to the fact that when you have 4 brothers at your disposal, they are bound to help out and fix things quickly. Which is exactly what happens and why the name Black is forever a good thing for when trouble might be brewing.
In the end, this book is a delight and the consummate beach/pool read. Or for those Down Under, one to curl up with during the long winter nights. All of the secondary characters including the better halves to those delectable Black brothers add just the right touch and plenty of witty banter and mayhem. In addition, there are a few very poignant scenes involving Ethan and his parents and those were particularly moving, giving our guy much to think about as he moved forward with Maddie. The combo of great humor and heartwarming moments are what makes this book a worthy read. And I cannot wait for the next book in this well-written series since I know Nina Levine will give us yet another delicious Black brother in Gage and what will undoubtedly be the woman who will forever claim his heart.
4 big stars!

Welcome to the #BlackZone, Mr. Hottie-McHottie
Time has arrived to finally meet the elusive Black brother. RECKLESSLY, WILDLY YOURS, book #3 in Nina Levine's Only Yours series was a fun, humourous, passionate, and heartfelt read which I had a lot of trouble putting down, in fact I don't think I did. Nina has this knack of delivering delicious men to swoon over and feisty women I want to be friends with, and the main characters in this book were no different. I can honestly say I devoured this book, EVERYTHING about it was PERFECT.
A man, running late and stuck in traffic on the way to his brother's wedding, can't believe the sight that is before him, a bride running away and looking for an escape. So, of course, he must help her. Thus begins the story of Ethan Black and Madeline Montana. Their chemistry was instant, their banter insane, their support and encouragement of each other was constant, but it was the friendship that developed which won my heart.
Ethan is not only home to attend Callum's wedding, but also home to reconnect with his family after being absent for over a year (his choice). He also needs to make some decisions about his future, but his family comes first, hurts need to be healed. The last thing he expected was meeting a woman who would turn him inside out. Maddie, a country music star, was meant to be celebrating the happiest day of her life by marrying her country superstar partner, until she discovered his secret. Not only has she deserted her wedding, but she's also turned her life upside down. Meeting Ethan was the best thing to happen to her as he takes her under his wing and will do anything to help her.
Ethan has earned the title Mr. Hottie-McHottie, a never more appropriate name for this positively swoonworthy man. As Maddie needs to sort out the mess of her life, they take a road trip together where a friendship blossoms and evolves into something deeper. I adored the teasing, the flirtatious banter, the deeply emotional moments, and especially their inability to keep their hands off each other once the smexy times began. (Girl, Nina knows how to write heat!) Not everything is a bed of roses though, there are hurdles to be jumped and obstacles to move before they can find their HEA.
RECKLESSLY, WILDLY YOURS is Nina Levine perfection. Honestly, this is the first book I have read in ages that had me laughing and sighing from start to end. No tears, no anger, just pure unadulterated joy. Ethan and Maddie were simply perfect, their "panties" (IYKYK) jokes, Ethan's "grandpa" problems with texting acronyms, the twerking, the kissing (oh, the kissing), everything about them was DIVINE. Then there are the rest of the Black family (I want brothers like them), Leigh and Judy, Montana's assistants, they all ensure more delight and not much drama. There's no third act break up (thank you Nina for that), only a small miscommunication that's quickly sorted out.
RECKLESSLY, WILDLY YOURS will definitely be in my top three for 2024. Nina hit a home run with this one. Don't forget to grab the Bonus Epilogue, more laughter, and a beautiful tender moment.
RECKLESSLY, WILDLY YOURS is an ABSOLUTE MUST READ.

Never let down. Never disappointed. This author just does it for me! Every book! I think i fall in love with her even more after every release! I ain't even gonna hide it! I flove her!

The plot - it just kept me engaged in the story. I found myself reading whilst cooking, while on break at work, whilst on the loo (don't tell me you don't do that!) anywhere i could until it was finished! I think it was because it was so honest and open. It was like your friend telling you their life story after you haven't seen them since school and just getting so invested in it you don't want it to end! You want to make sure their future is perfect! And it soooo was.
Runaway Bride - i love this! I mean if that isn't a sign from above i don't know what is!
Between the sheets scenes - cover those ears kids! If this author knows how to write something the absolute bestest it's the dirty talk... i can't even... lay those lips by my ear Ethan and watch me melt! Phew!
The brothers - i mean COME ON!! They're just F.I.N.E as! Love seeing their lives develop over the series.
The assistant! - Leigh!! She's an amazing secondary character. I hope we see her again!!
Text talk - I'm with Ethan on this one! Ughhh but it made it really fun with the long distance.
I could go on, n on, n on, annnnd ooooon! Its just a great book. Fun, honest, sweet, smiley, swoony just all the things you need from a romance book.

- Great and open communication
- Road-trip
- Photographer x Famous singer
- Runaway bride
- Abortion (in the past)
- Surprise pregnancy
- No third act breakup and no owd
Maddie (27) and Ethan (28).
What a meet-cute, him helping a total stranger get away from her wedding.
This book was was such a professional. It was great communication great Panther his brothers were amazing to the h and H.
Safety:
- No owd, info about his past: 5 gf, all treated him badly, one cheated, one stole half a million. Total been with 7 girls, never liked ONS. AND he had never felt like what he felt towards his ex’s as what he felt for the h.
- His last gf who stole money caused a lot of damage towards his relationship with his brother since they tried warning him about her, and he didn’t listen, but he had some trauma about not feeling good enough in his family, so felt like that explained his behavior in his past relationships.
- H celibate 15 months, been traveling Europe trying to “find himself” after what his ex did
- Only thing I didn’t like was that he got matching tattoos with his ex, but he was 19, so it’s okay.
- Some drama with meh ex fiancé who is also a famous singer and tries to harm her reputation. She’s over him, he cheated and treated her like shit.
Spoiler for the last 15%:
His reaction when she tells him she thinks she’s pregnant is very understanding, especially since he had just had a conversation with his dad about how his parents were cold and distant toward him during his upbringing. He was already in a state of shock, so when she tells him, I understand his initial response, given that they’ve only been together for nine weeks. However, it still hurts her a lot because of the trauma she experienced the last time she was pregnant and how her ex treated her during that pregnancy.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the story of Ethan and Maddie.. If you are looking for a really great romance, then this is the book you want to read. I loved every single second of it. It is Maddie's wedding day. One of the most special days of her life. Or it was supposed to be. What follow is their story. I loved how they met. I love how the dog almost stole the show. This story is so sweet and swoony that you will wonder why you don't read romance books like this all the time. The banter between these two is really witty and you will be loving every second of that. I loved how Ethan didn't care who Maddie was. Her celebrity status didn't affect him at all when it came to her. You are also going to run all the emotions that you can think of reading this book. You know that your reading something amazing when your emotions are right along with the character's. Like you living their story moment by moment with them. Then we have to passion and trust me this book is passionate. You will be swooning so many times. Some of the things that he says to her, made me think several times, we all need a Ethan in our lives. I have to say too that their is more than just their romance in this story. There are things in Ethan's life that he needs to fix and thanks to Maddie and the way he feels, things he thought would never in a million years happen suddenly seem possible. These two have so much in common and I really loved that too. I could really go on and on about this book. You just need to go grab it right this second, sit back and enjoy one of the best, sweetest romances of the year. You won't regret it. I promise.

Recklessly, Wildly Yours is another incredible story in the Only Yours series by Nina Levine. I'm rather addicted to these Black siblings. First Bradford, then Callan and now Ethan have all worked their way into my heart and I'm also absolutely desperate to get to know Gage and Hayden better too.
Ethan is a dirty talking, passionate and possessive Hottie McHottie. If you're confused with the Hottie McHottie part of that sentence, all will be revealed when you read his story. I absolutely adore this man. Dare I say that he might be my favourite brother….. so far! 😬
I have to say that Nina Levine has created another incredible leading lady. Liv (our protagonist in the previous book, Yours Actually) received a huge shout out from me and Maddie needs one too! She and Ethan are perfect for each other. The majority of their interactions are fun – of course there are moments when life gets very serious. They have incredible chemistry. They become protective of each other – which is wonderful to see. I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing their journey, although the way that Maddie was treated at times is unforgivable - though it did make incredible reading. Plus, there's nothing like a bit of drama when you're fully invested in a couple to bring out many different emotions in the reader.
I love how the author uses The Tea to share news and give updates. I do love different things, and so this only made me enjoy the narrative even more.
I highly recommend this book and series to you to read. Gage Black’s story is next, and I cannot wait to see how dark, dangerous and ruthless he can be!
5 stars.

WOW!! This story was just so freaking good!! I was totally hooked on this story from page one!!
A runaway bride who happens to be a celebrity and is trying to re-discover herself, a cinnamon roll hero who is trying to move on from his past, a rode trip and a healthy dose of humour, passion, scandal and angst. Nina Levine totally A's this story.
This is the third book in the "Only Yours" series and is the story of Ethan Black and Madeline Montana.
Maddie decides not to get married to her famous country singer after finding out he has been cheating on her, so a runaway bride she becomes ending in Ethan's back sit of his car while he is in his way to his brother's wedding and from there a incredible friendship develops ending in an amazing road trip. Maddie wants to find herself in her personal and music career and I love the way Ethan is there every step of the way.
Ethan was the most perfect hero aka Mr. Hottie-McHottie. He supported and encouraged Maddie to go and fight for what she wanted. He truly showed her how beautiful she was inside and out. When their relationship faced some turbulent moments that man was more than perfect correcting his actions and making me fall in love with him even more.
This book is definitely in my top five for this year and a must read.

Ethan Black is every woman’s dream and you need to know why so read Recklessly, Wildly Yours ASAP!!! I wish I could read this book for the first time all over again! I adore the meet-cute way Ethan and Madeline found each other and I love how the dog didn’t want to leave Ethan either. First, he tells his girl that all she has to do is smile and the rest is just a bonus which made me swoon so hard! Then Ethan told Maddie, “I will love you and adore you, and I will always fight for you. The rest will take care of itself if I follow that one rule.” My heart felt like it was going to explode right out of my chest and I fell head over heels in love with this man! The way they flirt is fire! I need an Ethan kiss, text, FaceTime, lunch date, twerk, and definitely all the O’s. He really listens when Maddie speaks and is fierce with his feelings and protects her no matter what! They really bring out the best in each and their banter and teasing is a breath of fresh air. His family is amazing as well and I want to go to Black weekly dinners! A vulnerable moment hits them both hard and the way they communicate and come together was EVERYTHING! I couldn’t care less about football’s RedZone but I will forever stay in the BlackZone!!!

I adored Ethan and Maddie. At the beginning, the chemistry wasn't quiet right for me but the sparks happened quickly and the flames burned through the whole book after. All the moments they shared were special in their own way. The way they simply support each other and gave themselves a space to feel safe and free, that was everything. Of course, all the past characters and the other Black brothers were a treat! I was a bit disappointed in the resolution of Ethan's absence and his family. In the past books the unknown reasons behind Ethan staying away made it seem like the issue was something bigger than what it turned out to be. That being said, I did appreciate the raw moments between him and his brothers. I also really, really, wanted to see Ethan's brothers put Maddie's ex and manager in their place for what they did to her and how they took advantage of her. Unfortunately, all that happens behind closed doors.
I absolutely adored Maddie's assistant! I need more of her. If she could fall for one of the Black brothers, that'd be so fun!!

Recklessly Yours is book 3 in the Only Yours Series by Nina Levin.
I have read all of Nina Levins' books and her Storm Series lives forever on my Kindle, but this series deserves its own respect. I truly think that with each book, it just gets better.
We know that there have been a lot of issues surrounding Ethan Black. But he has been working on fixing his life, so when he sees a woman holding up traffic in the middle of Manhattan, he offers to help her. He has no way of knowing who she is or that this will alter his life completely.
Ethan and Maddie are hands down my favorite couple in this series. Their chemistry and their banter are absolutely everything. I think Maddie may be my favorite FMC Levin has written. She was smart and strong and vulnerable but hilarious as well. I also loved her coworkers and her interaction with Ethan's family. Speaking of Ethan's family, we got to know Gage a bit more in this book, and his story is up next, and I can't wait for that. If this book was any indication, I know that one will be fantastic.

Ethan's story was nearly as good as his brothers Callan and Bradford but not quite. Still it was still a pretty fantastic story. Ethan has been burned by woman in the past and fled his family for Europe. He returns for his brother Callan's wedding and ends up bringing a runaway bride to the wedding.
Maddie is a country music superstar who is fleeing her wedding because she just found out that her soon-to-be husband has been cheating on her for a long time. But there is way more hurt there than just cheating and when she flees she runs into Ethan Black who is willing to be her rescuer and put up with her out of control life.
The things is she ran from one man and ran right into the love of her life.
Maddie and Ethan are adorable. Their banter and conversations feel like two people learning everything about one another and a lot of lust. And when things start getting really real between them they both jump in with both feet.
This series is really good and the men in these stories make a girl wish they were real.
Highly recommend.

This book is filled with swoon, heart, and found family. I loved everything from the unconventional meet cute, their path to love, and everything in-between! Chef's kiss!
Ethan is my new favorite Black brother! Goodness! I love his happy personality and how much he cares for the people in his orbit. The way he shows Maddie what a true relationship should be like was everything! He helps give her the tools to be happy without taking over. And Maddie? I loved watching her take control of her life and really bloom into who she was meant to be. She cares for Ethan in a way he has never been shown. These two have a soul deep connection that made my heart so freaking happy!
This book is truly beautiful. Not only do the main characters find love, but they find peace. Maddie finds what a family should really be, and Ethan gets the healing he so deserves from his family. I will definitely be re-reading this amazing book!
ARC review.

Nina Levine is a master craft-smith of world creating. This world of The Black Brothers Billionaire Romance Series (Only Yours) takes one on a ride through life that everyone can relate to.
This story focuses on Ethan Black, the brother MIA for the last 15 months. He appears back in town in the epilogue in Yours Actually, Callan and Olivia’s story. Maddie is soul searching after realizing her life for the last 3 years has been sabotaged. Ethan did his soul searching those 15 months MIA.
Together, Ethan and Maddie find what they need in themselves and in those around them. THIS is why I say everyone can relate to Nina’ characters. We are all going through something in life and it just seems to be identified in one of her stories when you need it most.
Ethan and Maddie give you all the “feels”. The story has built-in phrases that keep it current. And the @thetea_gasp gossip is a hoot. I hope someday we find out who is behind it.
Nina still has two more brothers to write about and to keep us up to date on the three already in the HEA verse. I patiently (not) await these stories.

Embrace the chaos!
I don't even know where to start with this book! There were so many quotes, cuteness, sexytimes and some watery eyes ( it was just allergies😉) in this book! Nina Levine has a way of creating worlds and characters that speak to you! They pull you in and you become part of this story! You feel hope, love, sorrow, heat right along with her characters. These Ethan Black is the epitome of how real men should treat a women! I loved Maddies vulnerability, her strength and ultimately her finding her voice! ( I'm going to try that screaming technique) for the ultimate reading enjoyment I suggest reading in order! And when you finish this recent installment and are having a 5 star book slump jump on over to her Storm books and fall in love with all the alpha men and women over there! ( plus there are a load of books in that series to keep your book reading heart happy)✌

Wow! Wow! Wow! Nina, I absolutely fell in love with Ethan and Maddie, from the very first meeting to the end of the bonus chapters. Soul mates have nothing on these two they are so in sink with each other, yes there may be 1 or 2 hick ups but that is natural and in the end both do or say the right thing. They are open, honest and fun, I loved him getting to grips with slang, her sass and witty come backs, their feisty antics and that his family and her PA got on board instantly. This was true romance and had me smiling, laughing and SOL, the bonus gave me the extra little bit I'd hoped for from the first meeting as well, it tied it all up in a pretty pink bow. Nina completely outdid herself with this story, I always love the emotions and intenseness of her stories and this delivered Big. I can't wait for more because I love this family of brothers. Outstandingly stupendous read

another Black brothers success!
These guys…just wow! And mom & dad are inching towards reclaiming all the brothers respect.
But this story is about Ethan. He’s the brother that “disappeared” after a former romantic partner hurt him badly. But he’s back to support brother Callan as Callan gets married. And while on the way to the wedding, has his own “meet-cute” with the lovely Maddie.
There is instant chemistry between them despite her predicament. He is a treat to see how things develop for them. Maddie’s ex is beyond a piece of work, so for her, Ethan truly is the knight in shining armor!
Great banter between all the brothers, their wives, with Maddie & Ethan, as well as her loyal assistant, Leigh (who is a hoot!). And Ethan’s inability to decipher all the acronyms of modern text lingo & conversation is pretty darn cute!
