1 ⭐- Ugh! Didn't like it or triggers or pet peeve!
=====================================
Extraordinary manwhore, jerk, asshole, fucks everything that has a hole and breathes.
He continues rubbing the women in the heroine's face.
He does not respect her.
He wants freedom to have as many women as he wants and does not want commitment.
I do not know what our heroine saw in him, he has no quality worthy of love. She's a dumbass.
I was annoyed to see her sad and depressed while he had fun with friends and other women.

Hell, most of the girls were only interested in hooking up as well, just so they could say they had fucked me.

“Trevor,” she whispered, right before I pressed my lips to hers.

“Hell yeah. I’m getting lucky tonight,” I said, reaching for her hand. Wade pulled me to a stop and shook his head. “Damn, Trevor. Are you sure you want to do this?” “Why wouldn’t I?”

She’d been avoiding me ever since that day she saw me talking to Traci Stephens, Sierra’s best friend, and the maid of honor in Brad’s wedding.

I also knew I was a motherfucker for the way I had treated Scarlett a month before that.

She’d been so upset with me the night after she admitted her feelings, and I basically told her there could never be anything between us.

We’d gotten so caught up in each other we had made love without a condom. When I realized what I’d done, I jumped out of the bed. I never even looked back at her after I got dressed and rushed out of her house.

As the blonde and I walked toward my truck, Wade’s words hit me again. “You’re going to regret it.” The stripper was all over me. Her hand landed on my deflated cock that wasn’t the least bit interested as she pushed me against the truck and licked my neck.

Pulling my mouth from hers, I saw her out of the corner of my eye. Scarlett. I pushed the stripper away and shouted, “Enough.” When I turned to look at Scarlett, she was leaving.

“Scarlett…she saw me with the stripper.” Wade groaned. “Damnit, Trevor. I told you not to do it.”

“What?” Scarlett said, hurt laced in her words. “Not that it’s any of your business, but no. I’m not a whore like you. He’s been here for me when I needed a friend.”

It was pretty damn clear last night you’re fucking around with her feelings, dude.

“I’m not the type of guy to settle down. At least, not yet anyway.”

“Because she keeps seeing a different woman hanging on you, dude. How do you expect her to ever forgive you or give you a chance if you can’t keep your dick in your pants?”

“Well, if it isn’t Channing Jones and Sydney Moore. What are you two doing in Oak Springs?” I asked with a polite smile. “Causin’ trouble,” Channing said with a wink. “Want in on it?” I laughed. Channing and I had hooked up once, the summer after my freshman year of college.

“Who could possibly be more important than a threesome, Trevor?” Channing asked, a smirk on her face. “I didn’t even realize exactly how important she was until just now, so thank you for that, Channing.”

“You and Eric looked cozy.” Scarlett was silent for a moment. “Not as cozy as you and that stripper looked a few nights ago.”

“You love her? If you loved her you wouldn’t treat her like a whore,” Eric practically shouted.

“Don’t go off and fuck someone thinking it will make you feel better.” I flinched. That’s what I would have done months ago. Hell, it was what I did after that first time I was with Scarlett. Breaking our stare, I nodded. “I won’t.”

Tigers do not change their stripes, Scarlett, and you know that.”

“He fucks other women and comes to you when he can’t find anyone better to be with.”

“You honestly think I’d walk away from my own child?” Her sad eyes lifted to meet mine.

“I’d never cheat on you. I mean, we were together Scarlett, but I never said we were exclusive. Still, I haven’t been with anyone else in months.” “Have you tried? To be with another woman?” Guilt ripped at me, my silence her answer.

“I wish I could I believe you. You have no idea how much I wish I could believe you, but I can’t.”

“What? Tell them you’re a dick and wouldn’t commit to a relationship with me before I got knocked up? And what else should we tell them? We had unprotected sex and when you realized it, you ran out? Without so much as a ‘thanks for the fuck’?”

“And I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive you for hurting me like you did.”

I just want to feel happy about this. I’m tired of crying! I’m tired of being sad. I want this baby, and I can’t even feel happy about it.”

“So you were okay hooking up with a guy who whores around?” Flinching, I looked down at my hands and then back to Eric. “I can’t help the way my heart feels, Eric.”

My cheeks heated. “Since Scarlett and I have been together I haven’t been with anyone but one other woman and that was a mistake.”

Let me get this straight...the hero gets the heroine pregnant and then wants to bail. He then tells her they’re not exclusive and can fuck other women, which he does, and the heroine doesn’t say anything.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? Deadbeat loser of a father and a piece of shit hero.

Third book by this author and I am done, she seems to hate her heroine’s, makes all her heroes untrustworthy manwhore’s, and then expects us to believe in their romance? Nope. The high ratings have to be friends or paid readers, it does not add up!

NO ONE STAR! I'm sorry, but I just think this book had good scores because the author has good friends. If a man LIKE THIS touched me, the only thing I would feel is disgust. And spreading that kind of attitude in women characters only embarrasses us.

I’ve avoided reviewing the other books in this series since the first one as all I would do is rant about the probably STD ridden manwhores and their doormat heroines who embrace the idea that any man is better than no man. Yep, the heroes are charming and love their family, but of the few that I‘ve read, they are emotionally weak Peter Pan’s that run from big commitments like lunch, cheat then get forgiven because they're good at sex. All that practice pays off I guess.

Why the three stars here? For the non-romance part of the book where the H and h’s premature plot moppet is in the hospital. Well done, detailed and poignant, it made me tear up which was unfortunate timing as I was at a wine bar at the time and had to pull the old Allergies! out of the bag. A lot of readers dislike babies in romances, but this worked for me as it added something to the actual relationship other than just another hookup.

“Trevor Parker was my weakness. One little kiss wouldn’t hurt anything, as long as he didn’t deepen it.”



Reckless Love is the seventh and final book in the Cowboys and Angels series. I do not think it can be read as a standalone. I have been so excited for Trevor and Scarlett ’s story, omg. I will, however, keep this review as vague as possible, because I truly don’t want to spoil anything for you.


description


Trevor Parker is a manwhore who doesn’t want to settle down and commit. He is scared of falling for someone, and has been fighting his feelings for Scarlett for years. In a way to keep her away, he’s not been a nice guy to her and constantly ends up hurting her. Their relationship is complicated, to say the least.

“What do you feel in here when you think of Scarlett? Closing my eyes, I pictured Scarlett. I opened my eyes and looked directly at my father. A fire. A blazing fire.”


Scarlett has been in love with Trevor for as long as she can remember. But she is tired of the constant push and pull he puts her through. He keeps playing with her feelings and she’s done. She’s determined to move on that is she gets shocking news. I love that she stays strong and holds back even when all she wants is to spend time with him. I do love her even more for it.


description


Overall, Reckless Love is a sexy, funny, emotional, lovely story. It is full of teary, angsty, swoony moments. I very much enjoyed this book. It is fantastic end to this series. I also LOVED getting to catch up with all the previous characters. It gave us a nice and full closure on everyone.
I recommend this book, and this series.

I know that it makes me a bad person, I was kinda wishing that Scarlett would lose the baby in order for Trevor to prove that he wasn't just there for the baby. I hated him from page one when he decided that he wanted to sleep with another woman and ended up getting caught by Scarlett. A man so convinced on getting laid with any woman is not suddenly going to change ways. He never proved himself to me and my hatred never lessened. Eric was a better choice and I feel like the author turned him into a douche because she didn't want us to fall for him. Scarlett was TSTL, she kept giving chances to Trevor and was refusing to see him for the person he truly was. At one point Trevor said that they weren't exclusive and so he could sleep with other women (and he did) and she just accepts that. Of course, she never did anything with another man and no man's kiss could do something for her. She was a dog and just wanted the treat Trevor had. She never stood up to him but stood up for him. My thoughts are that the author filled the book as much as she could with the stories of the other couples, so the readers wouldn't be able to realize how much Trevor wasn't worthy of Scarlet. It really pained me to see her justifying everything Trevor did when he never did the same for her and was only there to push Eric away. The only reason I would recommend this book is the appearance of the main characters from the previous books. The appeared so much that it felt like an extended epilogue with Trevor and Scarlett's story thrown in. The second thing that really bugs me is Scarlett's father. Trevor finds out from his father the truth about Scarlett's biological dad (which isn't the man she thinks is her father) and that's it. No mention if Scarlett knows or what happened to that man. The book was a big disappointment. That cover was wasted.

To say a few positive words. I was able to finish it in one day and that says a lot about the writing.

5, I don't want it to be over yet, Stars!!

“I tried not to look his way, but I couldn’t help the pull. Whenever Trevor was around, it felt like a moth to a flame. He could both destroy me and give me life.”

“Trevor Parker was my weakness. One little kiss wouldn’t hurt anything, as long as he didn’t deepen it.”

I had so many emotions going into Reckless Love. Not only is it the final book in the Cowboys and Angels Series, but it’s also one of my most anticipated reads. The bar was set high and Kelly Elliott does not disappoint!!

Scarlet and Trevor’s story is one that I have been just dying for. The pull between the two of them was off the charts. You could tell that they had feelings for one another, but something always went wrong. When it came to Scarlet, Trevor just couldn’t get it right. He was so afraid of handing over his heart and having it destroyed. When it comes to love and feelings, Trevor has always been a bit reckless. He’s never let anyone get close….well, until Scarlet. Scarlet is the game changer that will turn his whole world upside down. Will Trevor take a risk on love and the woman he wants more than his next breath? Or will he let fear take over and blow the best thing that would ever happen to him??? There’s only one way to find out…..

Reckless Love had me hooked from page one. I was instantly and totally consumed by Scarlet and Trevor’s story. I loved the angst and the pull, the will they /won’t they moments. Scarlet was so brave. Her whole world changed in a matter of minutes and soon she would discover that it wasn’t only her she had to worry about anymore. She had been hurt time and time again by Trevor and I honestly couldn’t wait for Trevor to wake up and see what was right in front of him. So many times, I wanted to just knock him upside his head and shake him. He kept messing up and I just wanted him to open his eyes and take the risk!! You could tell that feelings ran deep for both of these characters and I really liked how Scarlet made Trevor work/prove himself to her. She didn’t just jump right in and forgive instantly. And I just loved watching Trevor fight for the one woman who could bring him to his knees and own his heart.

Reckless Love is a fabulous read from beginning to end. I fell in love with Scarlet and Trevor and couldn’t help but devour their story. I loved the sense of family and getting to catch up with all the previous characters. I really enjoyed seeing everything come full circle and getting closure on each and every character from this series. From good times to bad, from sexy to heartbreaking, this book had it all. Reckless Love took my emotions on one thrilling yet wild ride and I loved every single second of it. I’m sad to say goodbye to these characters, but at the same time am excited to see what this author will have in store for us next and I have a feeling that this won’t be the last that we’ll see of these characters….that’s my hope anyways. I hope you’ll enjoy Reckless Love and The Cowboys and Angels Series just as much as I have.

Skimmed through this pretty quickly. It’s pretty much a wrap up for the series and the angst I was expecting from all the reviews complaint that he ran when she told him she was pregnant wasn’t there. It was like a quick run to the park because the om who blurted out the h was preggers was acting like the baby was his. The H literally thought the baby was the om’s so he ran away for a few hours to think. This book was filled with ghe nostalgia of The previous books. So Don’t read unless you read the series.

Confession time I did not read the series I read this one first and now I have to go back and read the series because holy hell so much was going on and the family dynamics is amazing. The family is very tight and they stick together through thick and thin. This is the final book in the series and it tied up everything that much I got from it but the true story of Trevor and Scarlet just about broke me. I tell you I yelled at my kindle and I wanted to jump through it a few times to give Trevor a good old fashion arse kicking.

First I have to say that Scarlet gets big KUDOS from me for being a strong woman who knew what she wanted and didn't shy away from it but embraced it the good the bad and the ugly. She is so strong after she finds out she is pregnant with Trevor's baby. She knows that Trevor is a man whore and is not ready to settle down that he is not ready to commit but she stands strong and has the baby anyways.

Even after all that Scarlet gives him a second chance to prove himself. To prove that he can commit and that he is really ready to settle down. He does a lot of groveling and he should because he was a douche bag to her and ran when he found out she was pregnant. But he swears now that Scarlet is giving him another chance he will cherish it and not mess up and prove himself no matter what he has to do.

This was an amazing story about family and friends and how families stick together no matter what. I am going to read the series from the beginning because this book has me hooked on the Parker Family

Wow!! What a fantastic way to end the series. Trevor was the quintessential bachelor, never gonna settle down or get married. Scarlet is sweet, strong & a wonderful woman to make Trevor rethink his entire world. When Trevor realizes he could lose Scarlet he does exactly what every girl wants. He shows her that she is his world & is it for him. I was worried at times how Eric’s role was going to play out & expected something else, but was not disappointed at all. This series is fun, intriguing & a fantastic love story for each couple, but this one was in the top 2 if not best of the series. I’m sad for this series to end & highly recommend this book & series. Told in dual POV.

I'm sad that these series finally come to an end.
Summary: it's a good story if you're looking for a warm, loving, fun, less complicated & drama on the relationship. I always got attached to the series that has a bond not only between the main character but other people all around them especially family. That's why I've kept binge this.

Last but not least... Do we get Chloe & Rip story for another time? 🤔 One can only hope.

Trevor and Scarlett's story, and the final book of the Cowboys and Angels series.
*Spoilers will be tagged, beware if using the app:)

I'll admit, I have not faithfully read every book of the series; I received books 1 & 7 free, and didn't enjoy Lost Love enough to invest all that time...so I skimmed, asked friends for cliffs notes and feel like I have a pretty good handle on things for the last book:)

Trevor and Scarlett have been around for a few books. He's the youngest brother, and may have been the biggest manwhore of the Parker bunch. He sort of reminded me originally of Logan Kade (sexy, funny, mh) but the problem for me is that most players are reformed when they meet their true loves. Yes, there's usually the running/denying/ I'm afraid period, but this lasted for a couple books of him hooking up with her "not exclusively" all the while flirting/hooking up with other women. Just looking at this book, there is one situation in chapter two that could piss some off. After that he seems to have a personality transplant, and suddenly wants to be with her forever, and no-one else.

I thought the book's blurb was misleading; it sounds very similar to Steed's book, but it wasn't at all the same. The part of him "running from her" when he found out she was pregnant was a misunderstanding and sorted out the same day. The main hurdle was him convincing her to trust him for another shot.

The outline of this plot was similar to the other books; he chases her for another shot (which she agrees to around the 50% mark) the rest of the book is filled with them hanging out, sprinkled in with the family time. The secondary characters are great, and parts can be funny/cute...there just isn't much substance.

The author threw in Eric to add drama, which beside his meddling in chapter seven his other scenes don't add anything other than to frustrate Trevor for a paragraph or two. There are a couple of scenes with OW where they are snarky about not convinced T is ready to settle down, but the characters are never seen again. I am all for added drama (as long as it doesn't drag on) but nothing came from these scenes, so what was the point...especially the random inquire from the reporter... I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing. The first book something similar with Gina, the divorcee who wanted Steed, she kept glaring at Paxton, and I expected her to become an issue, but she just disappeared.

There is an issue with the baby towards the end, that really drags on, and again it just poof fixes itself, and all's well again. I was disappointed with the ending; this is the last book, and I expected a kickass epilogue. The last chapter skips 7-months, so besides a pregnancy and adoption everything is exactly the same. The epilogue is a teaser for the spinoff series Love at First Sight which follows Chloe and Rip. I guess that will be the extended epilogue for the Parker family, as I'm sure they'll all be in it. The confusing thing is I don't recognize the characters from the rest of the books, so I don't think it will follow the other Parker kids like Ja Huss's Mister series after the Rook and Ronin series or Harper Sloan's Hope Town series after the Corps Security series did.

Overall, solid well written read. It is perfect for readers that like fairly clean, low angst, kinda cheesy love fest. The biggest cause of drama in the series is from a goat named Patches:)

I have to admit…I didn’t know how Kelly Elliott was going to change my mind about Trevor Parker and his manwhore/asshole ways. He frustrated the living hell out of me even when he wasn’t the main character of the story, so the fact that I was going to get inside his head and hear all of his internal musings…his justification for how he treated Scarlett…his inability to settle down - yea, I wasn’t looking forward to it and I truly thought he was going to piss me off even more than he already has, and that doesn’t even include all of his acting before thinking gems that further put him in the dog house with Scarlett and other family members.

I love that Scarlett thought of herself and the baby first, not jumping right back into a relationship with Trevor after he broke her heart time and time again and made her feel used and misused whenever he wanted her. Trevor has a lot to make up for, and the fact that Scarlett held steadfast to what her head was telling her to do, even when she was clearly conflicted due to her strong feelings for Trevor and the extreme pressure she felt to do things ‘properly’ in the eyes of her parents. Keeping her distance from Trevor is definitely not something her heart wants her to do, but Scarlett refuses to be hurt by him again, so her cautious attitude is necessary, and I felt like that was the right decision for her and for them.

Once again, the Parker siblings and their significant others as well as their parents step up in big ways for Trevor and Scarlett, not only to help them fix what was broken between them but also to celebrate together, harass one another, anything and everything that a close and loving family should due for each other. The Parkers are a family full of big personalities, but at the end of the day, they have one another’s back and that means everything to all of them.

Trevor is certainly reckless with Scarlett’s heart and her feelings, but the fact that he understands exactly what his actions did to Scarlett and works to make amends for his behavior made me believe in his feelings for her and made me trust that he wouldn’t let her down again, as long as he could help it.

Scarlett’s recklessness is due to her love for a man who has always said he’ll never commit, never settle down, and it’s not that she thought she could change him, it’s more that her heart and her body wanted him so much that she willingly took what she could get until it came to the point where she couldn’t give so much of herself to a man who gave her nothing in return.

Kelly Elliott’s Cowboys & Angels series is a collection of amazing books with complex characters and the struggles and triumphs they face. I definitely feel like I’m an honorary Parker family member, and while I’m sad to say goodbye to them, I’m so glad I had the chance to read about them and witness them all get their happily ever afters.

A Teen to Adult love story.



Reckless love is the last book in the Cowboy and Angel series.
Reckless love could be read as a stand-alone, I read this without previous books but the author suggests at the beginning of this book that it can't be read as a standalone?
I suppose it would contain spoilers if you are looking to start a series from the beginning, this book contains all of the characters together in few scenes and would spoil who is with whom with regards to relationships etc so if you want to start the journey of getting to know the families and all the characters and experience the growth of the family, start from the beginning.
Kelly Elliott hasn't added any spoilers with previous stories though so you aren't given any information with what has gone down before but there are a few surprises with the other couples that those who have been following this series will love.

Reckless Love is Trevor and Scarlet's story.

Trevor is the player of the bunch with the the look of a bad boy, the hot cowboy with tattoos and a reputation with the ladies and although he has had his eye on Scarlet since before she moved away to school when he was a teen he still continued with his wild ways.
Trevor is afraid of commitment, his feelings for Scarlet scare him and when Scarlet returns home for good he finds himself in a situation where he wants her but in a way he doesn't and also he doesn't want anyone else to have her either. Trevor has a decision to make before he loses his forever girl, there is only so much rejection Scarlet can take and the clock is ticking.




This is a heartwarming story of major playboy turning into a swoon-worthy man, I loved the transformation in Trevor as he steps up to claim what is his and his responsibilities.

Fans of this series will love it, like I said all characters from previous books in the series are present and a few surprises are revealed.

I am looking forward to whatever Kelly Elliott has planned next. I have to say I do love anything by Kelly Elliott she writes a brilliant balance of hotness, romance, drama and heartwarming moments within her pages.

I have loved Kelly Elliot's books from the beginning, which yes means she is one of my very first reads. Safe to say I have a few of her books (too many too count) and I love LOVE this series B U T am so sad that this is the last book in the series. (INSERT ME CRYING HERE).

Kelly's writing to me is flawless, her characters are real when you read and her stories can vary, all in good ways of course. I have come to love the way she does the 'climax' of the story. This is a beautiful second-chance romance that involves a gorgeous sexy as sin hero & a equally beautiful heroine with a heartfelt love story. (Can you just feel how much I damn LOVE THIS BOOK!!)

Alright so a little forewarning because Trevor IS A MANWHORE in this book, I mean the only reason he does it to try and forget, forget the pain! So there is a lot of 'other woman' involved here BUT the main purpose and reason will leave you speechless. He does do a lot of stupid shit to keep her away, and is mean to her.

Scarlett has been in love with Trevor since day one, she is hurt, in pain and still not over everything. Luckily she has a backbone and ventures through the bad weather. When she finally gets fed up with his bullshit and pulls, she swears to move on, but things are always easier said than done. With some shocking news, she stands her ground and holds out, which is why I LOVE her!

This is a MUST READ as is Book #1 from this series. This is a very sexy, fun and emotional story.
FIVE PLUS stars for the read & highly recommended!

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~

This is the seventh and final book of the series (although have some hope ... read right to the end and find out why!). This has been a really fun series, which I have found to get better and better as I have been more and more invested in each couple. This one gives fans plenty of family times to catch up on them all.

Trevor has been the player throughout the series, and has not been a nice guy when it comes to Scarlett, to say the least. So there needed to be some seriously clever writing to turn our opinion around - and Kelly Elliott does an amazing job. He is still Trevor, but he develops patience now that he knows who he wants. The journey is not easy, and Scarlett holds back even when she wants to spend time with him, but she needs to trust him.

There is so much wonderful humour in this book, that I was laughing out loud - Patches is often at the centre of the fun, but the whole gang get up to mischief too - there are some really worrying and teary moments too, but I loved them all. I don't want to say more, as you need to experience things yourself.

This is a fabulous book on which to end the series, with a lovely sexy story. Thank you Kelly Elliott.

Reckless Love is the seventh and final installment in the Cowboys and Angels series. It cannot be read as a stand alone and must be read in the order the author intended.

Finally we get Trevor and Scarlett's story. I have been dying for this one. Trevor has been the manwhore, never wanting to settle down and commit. He's been fighting his feelings for Scarlett for years. Above all else he wants her but he's so scared of committing and giving her his heart. Unfortunately, that constantly results in him hurting her. What really kicks his butt into gear and gets his head out of his ass is seeing Scarlett spending time with Eric. Trevor can't let someone else take her away from him.

Scarlett has been in love with Trevor Parker for as long as she can remember. The push and pull he does with her makes her head spin. As much as she tries one wink from Trevor and she's putty in his hands.

One amazing night with Trevor changes the course of both of their lives. The day he runs from her when he finds out she's pregnant he knows it's the biggest mistake of his life. He wants Scarlett and his baby in his life, but Scarlett puts a wall between them. Trevor will do whatever he has to to break that wall down and prove he won't repeat his mistakes.

It's the perfect end to this series, but I am so sad to see this series come to an end. There were tears shed with this one. The birth of their baby and the challenges they faced were heart breaking.

The Parker's by far are my favorite series that Ms. Elliott has done. I can't wait for Chloe and Rip's story! The fact that their will be more makes my heart happy!

5 Stars!

Kelly Elliott is back with the seventh and final book in the brilliant Cowboys and Angels series and I could not get enough of these words y'all. Trevor was one I knew would take convincing and while he does, Kelly did not disappoint for one moment.

I have really, really loved every single book in this series but sometimes the journey in one is just... more in every little way. And from that blurb alone (plus look at who it is!) I knew this was gonna be real good but knowing these characters and this series... I was ready for any and everything.

Reckless Love was a beautifully complicated, intense, emotional, sweet, and steamy love story that nipped at my heart, kept me glued to the pages, and set my entire body on alert until the very last word. Kelly is quite the master storyteller, creating worlds I never want to end but sometimes she just writes plain ol' special and this book, well this book was one of those. Trevor and Scarlet's journey was worth every moment, even the toughest ones.

If you haven't run across the Cowboys and Angels then know you are missing out. You need to start at the beginning and weave your way here to the end and fall for this amazing group of people.

I highly recommend this series.

Reckless Love (Cowboys & Angels #7) by Kelly Elliott
4.5 stars
M/F Romance
I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.

Trevor and Scarlet's story is the last in the series and I'm sad to see them go. While you don't necessarily need to read the previous books, I highly recommend that you do.

Trevor has always kind of been a wild boy. He loves women and isn't afraid to show his appreciation. But, despite his brother's all settling down and having amazing women in their lives, Trevor doesn't believe that is for him. Instead, he likes to have his women constantly rotating. There is only one woman who he keeps going back to and despite his own issues, he can't seem to let her be.

Scarlet has loved Trevor for a long time. They have known each other since they were kids and even though she has gone out and lived, when she came back and reconnected with Trevor, she thought it could turn in to something. But, when Trevor leaves her after they reconnected, she can't help but believe that nothing will ever change, no matter the circumstances.

All of the other couples in this story are hilarious and welcomed. They help explain Trevor in a way that only family can. There were times where I wanted someone to hit Trevor upside his head and explain to him how things should be... but, while his family wanted him to be happy, they knew he needed to figure out his own feelings. As for Scarlet, she had an amazing support system in all of the Parker wives and I loved their relationships.

This was the perfect ending to the series. I hope a new series is coming soon, because I'll miss these amazingly romantic, hilarious stories.

I have been looking forward to Trevor and Scarlet's story...pretty much through all of the other books. There have been hints of what was coming as it overlapped with the other stories, so when I got this one, I was excited.

Unfortunately, I was left a little...I am not even sure how to describe it. This felt like 75% retelling of the events in the past, and snippets with the other characters and about 25% their story. I get it, these aren't standalone titles, and I know there is going to be overlap...but in this one, I felt like the central story was lost in the retelling of the other stories and the presence of the other characters.

As the end of the series about the family, I recommend this...but at the same time, I really didn't feel like I got much more than a really extended epilogue of the entire family.

Reckless Love (Cowboys and Angels, #7) by Kelly Elliott  
 
Trevor may be the Parker brother that was the most underestimated. Behind his playboy ways and his fast lane life, beat the endearing heart of a closet romantic. Reckless Love is proof that romance is not just a woman thing. It's a human emotion that hits even the most skeptical of hearts. Trevor presented himself as the character everybody loves to hate, but the reality was his heart was doing battle with his inner doubts. His heart had never lost sight of what his soul had known for years, but his head kept getting in the way. With Scarlett and Trevor, Elliott gave our hearts the sweetest ending to an unforgettable series.

You did it again.....

What an emotional roller coaster of a ride, to finish the series on. :)

Thank you Kelly, I thoroughly loved Trevor and Scarlet they really were the perfect couple to end a series on.

I knew their story was going to be explosive and boy! did you deliver.

Kelly weaves real love into her fiction world, giving you a sneak into a world, that only she knows.

Trevor, having been present in all the other Parker family stories, was also a wild card, when it came to the ladies but he was a man with a big family and a big heart which came with a big love, especially for the right girl.

You felt the love he had for Scarlet, from the previous books, but it shone really bright, as we got to share their journey on a closer, intimate level.

They were great together, another Parker man not seeing what was right in front of his own eyes.

I had already decided I was going to like Scarlet after meeting her in Cord and Maeve's book. She was a fun, and hard working girl.

In the prologue she was unsure of her feelings, especially for Trevor, but as we got to know her better her personality shone out.

Oh my word! That Eric guy.... was a total jerk, wanted to drop kick him a time or two.

I loved the relationships the girls all had, they all knew the right time to make an appearance or even arrange a girls night out.

9 Grandchildren, my word how fabulous! Its been an amazing journey, one I was thankful to share alongside with them.

That epilogue....

Where do I even begin with this book?? After meeting Trevor in the previous books I couldn't decide if I wanted to throat punch him for his assholery ways or smoother him with love! Trevor and Scarlett's story was an emotional journey that had me crying, laughing and crying some more. It was so hard to put this book down because I was so spellbound by the storyline. The relationships between all these characters, family and friends is truly special and humbling with the way the lean on each other for support and strength. If you haven't read this series I highly recommend starting from the beginning because each book is one of a kind!

Trevor is one determined cowboy when it comes to Scarlett. Lana @ White Hot Reads

I was so happy to see that Trevor finally got his act together and realized Scarlett was the one. It only took him thinking that Scarlett had moved on from him to get his sexy butt into gear. These two have to overcome some obstacles but in the end it all works out. I truly have loved all of the Parker family and saddened that this world has come to an end but what an awesome ride it was.

I guess I missed the part in the signup where this was not a standalone! the story is very intertwined with all the other characters of the previews books.. I felt like the main characters needed to grow up a little more.. they just boom got together one night and got pregnant with a lot of back and forth.. although, I really like the end, it felt like a good way to wrap up the series
