RECKLESS - Part 2

The Reckless #2

by Alice Ward

This is the second part of RECKLESS - a five part steamy new adult series by Alice Ward. You should read part 1 first.

Can just one kiss change your entire life?

After her kiss with Jace Richardson, Andrea Mercer is left with conflicting emotions about her five year relationship and even herself. That conflict quickly turns to despair when things finally take a turn for the worse. And, little by little, Andrea’s life is left in shambles, with everything she’d planned for crumbling into nothing more than dust.

But Jace Richardson isn’t about to let her throw her entire life away. In fact, he’s dead set on it. He’ll do whatever it takes to help her get her life back on track, even if it means being a little more patient than he’s used to being.

Will Andrea be able to pull herself together as she discovers that you can’t plan everything? Or will even more forces work against her as she attempts to reinvent her life?

The RECKLESS Series is intended for a mature audience, 18+ only.

Reviews

[Jackie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Wow. I hoped for so much more. Now Andrea drove me insane. Can't make a decision? Really? I won't be finishing the series.

[Mary Winstead · Rating 5 out of 5]

Andy got drunk and kissed Jace back. Knowing she's still engaged to Sean. She comes back to her dorm sobbing not knowing what to do. Best friend Becca swoons in packs her things and takes her to the beach to clear her mind and figure out what she really wants. After ignoring all of Sean's texts his final text says it's over sending her into a two week depression until Becca calls Jace to help and he gets her out of her funk back to reality. She finally feels free till she wants to have closure and calls Sean only to realize that he wants her back. Why didn't he try the two weeks she was in depression. Oh you need to read. On to the next part.

The first book totally got me hooked. But after reading the second one and the reviews I feel like this book is just gonna drag on. And to be honest I don't think I'll read the rest. In this book she goes away for a weekend because jace ends up kissing her. She ignores Sean and he ends up flipping out then breaking up with her. She goes into depression but then jace brings her out of it. She starts to hang out with jace but isn't fully letting him in cause she isn't sure of things. Then she calls Sean to have closure but Sean ends up apologizing and wants to get back together but she says no. While she is at Jaces house she gets a call from her roommate becca saying Sean is at the apartment freaking out. She ends up going there and sees the damage he has done. She couldn't believe it. Sean ends up leaving a velvet box there saying he will give her time but will always love her. Jace then says to give him six weeks. And if she doesn't fall in love with him or close it he will leave her alone and walk away. That's how it ends. She doesn't know which choice to take.

This second installment left me feeling much the same as the first. Jace just keeps getting more appealling, and the ending - wow....I'm rather speechless and eager to head onto the next novella. (I will add that I am very glad this is all available through Kindle Unlimited though - these are definitely not stand alone books, barely novellas, but together they are making a pretty irresistable story.)

The negatives remain much as in my review of the first part....it really needs better editing, and the heroine is still working toward getting me to really get attached to her.

And again, a few slightly steamy moments, but nothing too explicit yet. It does seem to be heading in that direction, and with what I have seen of the author's style so far I am looking forward to that. I have the feeling she may write the erotic parts very well.

I enjoyed the second part of this series. It was a fast read and I read it in a little over an hour. As in the first book, the author kept me engaged. The story begins exactly where the first book ends, after Jace and Andrea kiss. You see Andrea come to terms with what happens when her future with Sean is compromised and these feelings for Jace have surfaced. Andrea has to make a choice, but who will it be? The man who owns her past or the man who promises to put her on a pedestal and give her a future? My only critique is that the book is too short and I was left wanting more.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

im really enjoying this series. thought it bugs me Andy went from this spunky no nonsense chick who knew what she wanted from her career. then to thinking because her and her fiance grew apart that ruins her whole life and future? they had already been growing apart. she's devastated? idk. its a bit distracting sometimes.

I love Jace (of course!!!) & Becca too. I can't wait to start book 3.

[AJ Swen · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars...
Jace and Andy begin their relationship...Sean is still lingering around. I wish we'd get more about Jace and the band..that seems to take the back burner.
Left with a decision Andy needs to make: stay with Sean or move forward with Jace.
Would love to read next, but just can't spend $2.99 for such a quick read...

[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the second instalment of Andrea's story. The first book was more of a page turner but it felt like this one was setting up the story for the next bit. I love the characters and Sean really showed his true colours this time.

[Michelle]

Okay

This was an okay book, but I liked the first one better. The main character just flat out got on my nerves in this one. Just too wishy washy for me. The writing is still good, but the plot kind of left the tracks in this one. Solid effort though.

[Terri Gee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Though so good.....

Jace or Sean hmmmm. I know whom I am looking to see Andrea with. Great friendship.... Great relationships past and present and the future. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

[Leslie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmmmm......well

While I liked this book I must say that I hate the main character. She is annoying and I want to punch her in the face. She drives me crazy. I am not sure I will read the third book, because I'm not sure I can stomach her anymore.

[Juli Hall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this story. I wish Andrea would just make up her mind and choose Jace, he's obviously the right one. Sean is a douche.

[Araceli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Liked it..

[Kris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short but good story...triple spacing makes it seem longer but it's about 50 pages

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

still enjoying Andy's story. This is a good read. I am wondering though, why this was split into novellas?

[Melissa Mendoza · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good

This was pretty good book. I was only slightly annoyed with Andy constantly being in her head all the time. The first book was my favorite so far

[Leighanne Cooper nottingham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Still Jace!!!

I still love Jace... she needs to give him a Chance....I think under the surface something else is going to be going on with Sean.

[Victoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Is a great book to read

[Chelsea · Rating 3 out of 5]

[Jeana · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Izzy Alaniz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book

Good book but to short. I love the story line and the characters involved in this book. Would love it to be longer.

[Kimberly / Love Notes Book Blog · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars. Short freebie part of serial. Not great, but now I want to find out what happens. I may or may not continue though if I have to buy the rest of the series.

[Brenda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Couldn't put this book down. About to start Book 3

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of typos in throughout whole series but a good read.

[Jennifer Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall, I am enjoying this series, but am still not understanding Andy. Also, instead of writing 6 books that are THAT short, I wish authors would just release one whole book and get it over with.
