Enemies to Lovers #2
Reckless
I was in love with the boy. I’m obsessed with the man.
Logan is my older brother’s best friend.
My teenage years were spent dreaming about our future together.
He taught me how to kiss. He stayed up late with me while I studied. He escorted me to the prom.
But he is one of the Screw Crew and they only have one rule. I’m off limits.
I went to college and he started working. The secret messages stopped and I lost my first love before it even had a chance.
I’ve spent the past four years trying to forget the only man I’ll ever love. Just as I start to make a life for myself, guess who comes barging back into my life?
This is Logan West & Mia Daniels story. ~ Book 2 in the Enemies To Lovers Series
This is a Stand Alone book with a HEA and no cliffhanger in the Enemies To Lovers Series. Each book in the series is about a different couple. To get the full experience of their friendship I'd recommend that you start with Heartless.

KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
RECKLESS: Is the second book in the ‘Enemies to Lovers’ series by Michelle Horst
But can be read as a standalone novel but I suggest you read the previous book as it has carry over characters. Spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives’ This is Logan and Mia Daniel's story.
As far back as Mia can remember she’s always had a crush on Logan her brothers best friend but always kept it buried within fully thinking that he didn't feel the same way about her.
He was the one I spent nights drooling about, and days drooling over.
He was her first kiss and her date to prom but Logan has always considered Mia forbidden fruit, a line he’s not wanted to cross due to her being his best friends little sister. Fast forward years later and to this day it's still the best kiss she's ever had.
When the tight knit screw crew guys all graduated they set up their own company and made New York their home. Keeping in touch with Mia was on a regular basis then for some reason it dwindled to barely talking, weeks, and even months flew by without any word from the guys feeling abandoned she realises she can’t rely on anyone but herself.
But what if there's something sinister at play here?
She could understand the boys not keeping in touch but what cut her to the bone was not hearing from her brother, at one stage in life he was her everything. Her protector and safe haven when she needed him the most.
When the whole crew and Mia reconnect none of them recognise her, she's gone from the shy, chubby girl to a knock out with a killer body toned from her pole dancing classes.
This brought all the feels, I swooned, I swooned yet again, I cried, I laughed, I loved, such a whirlwind of emotions, this was a sweet short read packed full of all the angst us angst hoes love. A friends to lovers romance at its best. I highly recommend this series.

This book was an odd one for me. I had a huge problem with Mia blaming everything on the boys for her past when she played an active role into it as well. She made the decision to give up finding her brother and his group of close friends. She made the decision to date the man that ultimately took her virginity. But I can also see where she lies the blame on others because in theory, she would never have met her enemies if her brother and his friends didn't do what they did. However, they resolved in a way of thinking it through. It would have been a 3/5 star read if I hadn't read the side story of Marcus. I bawled and cried. I felt horrible for the group of friends and family.
I think the writing and story telling could have been better. Some events weren't realistic. Some issues cleaned up too nicely. Some didn't flush out.

This is book two in the Enemies to Lovers series. Each book can be read as a standalone. I’ve read book one and loved it. I loved Reckless even more. I recommend you read Heartless first as it’s a great series.
Reckless is Mia and Logan’s story. A teenage crush. A first kiss. Memories. Mia loved Logan. Logan leaves and Mia moves on, going to college. Mia loses communication with her brother Rhett and Logan. That is until she goes to New York. You need to read the story to find out more.
Fantastic read with a brilliant storyline and great twists and turns. Super happy to read more about the characters we met in book one. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.

DNF.
Tried this after loving this author's Trinity Academy series.
Whereas I looved the guys from the other series, these heros were literally from my nightmares, lmao.
Just a bunch of whores that even have a list of who screwed who. Also didn't help there's an OW causing problems that slept with literally all the guys, including this hero. Yuck.
I'm out.

Reckless was more than I expected.
The series title is enemies to lovers but what you get is a teenage crush to an adult love story and a brothers best friend romance in one delicious package.
I also expected a bad boy but Logan's bad boy college years are long gone, it has for all of them, if you haven't read the first book in the series, it gives you a better idea of how this group of 5 boys were a hot commodity with the girls, the popular guys in college that all The girls wanted and they earned The name screw crew.
This is years later, the teenage boy Mia fell in love with, crushed hard on and the boy who gave her her first kiss is now a man and they are finally reunited after 3 years of being apart.
Too much time has past and Logan won't waste any more, it's time to get his girl even if he has to run it by his best friend and partner first to soften the blow.
These guys are all like brothers and although Mia and Logan's story is a big part of the plot you also get a piece of Marcus's story too which is heart-breaking and I did shed a tear for Marcus especially when the guys all pull together in support of their friend.
Reckless evokes a good mixture of emotions, it's heartwarming, sweet, sour, sizzling hot and gives you that gooey softness in the centre, a perfect contemporary romance recipe.
Another enjoyable read by Michelle Horst that is becoming an addictive series.
Can be read as a standalone and leads to a hea.

5 Stars to Reckless book two in the Enemies To Lovers series by author Michelle Heard (Horst).
Even more intense and angsty than the previous book in this series, Reckless had my heart beating erratically and my stomach full of butterflies. Not the good kind of butterflies. More like there was a hornet's nest inside my stomach. This book wrecked me. Oh. My. God! Sadly I can't even tell you why. That would be spoiling this fantastic book for you and I won't do that. While some of the plot is predictable, there were also a couple of surprises. Seriously, I don't think my heart can take much more. That said, Logan and Mia have an amazing HEA. However, there is a cliffhanger of sorts regarding Marcus that will leave you anxious for the next book. I mean, seriously, I need that book. I need it now! Actually the next book isn't Marcus' story so that leads me to wonder how long I have to wait for his HEA. Total book hangover here!
Logan is one of Mia's older brother's best friends. He is about four years older. Of course, Mia is totally off limits due to the fact she is Rhett's little sister. Still, being off limits doesn't stop either of their feelings for each other from growing. Sadly, Mia and Logan aren't aware of the other's feelings.
Forward four years later. Mia is going through some emotional times. She feels abandoned and alienated from her family. Of course if I even hint at what is going on, it will spoil this book for you. Though I can definitely say how much I loved it when Mia and Logan finally see each other again after so many years.
Once Logan learns that Mia has feelings for him, all bets are off. He will do what is necessary to make her his. Getting Rhett's approval might be difficult but Logan won't give up.
While Mia and Logan are sorting through their feelings, trying to form a relationship, something dark is going on. Something, heartbreakingly emotional. An aspect I am loving about this series is just when you think things are falling into place, something happens that changes your focus completely. I loved the roller coaster of emotions I experienced in reading this book, this series thus far. All I can say is I need next book badly. I will literally stop what I'm currently reading when Careless hits my Kindle. That said, I recommend this series highly. I'm sure you will have mixed feelings as I did but when you look at the whole picture, you will be more than satisfied.
This is my honest and unbiased opinion. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

Generally I can't be bothered reviewing every book I read, but given how many 4-5 start reviews this book has I was beyond disappointed.
Overall, it was very disappointing. Logan and Mia's story was appealing with the whole brother's best friend thing and meeting again after a few years and fall in love again thing. But there was no plot or character development whatsoever.
Not sure what all the 4-5 start reviewers read, but this is what I read:
Mia is good friends with 5 guys - 1 being her brother - they "ditch" her post-college.
She doesn't see them for 3 years, because they don't reply to her texts/calls. She goes to NYC to their work place and Logan (the love of her life) walks past her because he doesn't recognise her... and she let's this go and runs away again. IS SHE FUCKING SERIOUS? For starters it baffles me that you can't recognise someone who you've known pretty much your whole life - no matter how much weight you've lost or how long your hair has grown.
Her brother thinks he's been texting her and somehow conveniently forgets that he hasn't actually physically seen her for 3 years. HOW DO YOU NOT SEE YOUR SIBLING FOR 3 YEARS DESPITE BEING 'SO CLOSE'?!?!?!?!?!
and the kicker, SHE FORGIVES THEM! All of the boys mainly her brother and Logan after seeing each other once. That annoyed me beyond belief.
Back to Mia and Logan... we'll he's been in love with her for years after forgetting about her, she's upset for like 3.5 seconds then forgives him and decides to marry him. Like are you fo real girl!
Throw in a random ass storyline for Marcus (which I'm not going to spoil) that LEGIT DOES NOT FIT WITH THE BOOK, and BAM the book is over.
The only reason I'm giving it 1 star is because the Marcus stuff actually made me tear up despite it not making any sense at all.
Mainly I'm disappointed that it is depicted as "Enemies to Lovers" because I love those storylines, and this book is not that at all.
Read at your own risk people.

I am always super excited to start a Michelle Horst book as she has such an exceptional ability to combine a great story with alpha heroes. I did really enjoy Mia and Logan but did feel however that this story was a bit of a mixed bag for me.
Reckless is the second book in the Enemies to Lovers series and is a complete standalone. It continues the story of the "Screw Crew" and is a good follow-up to book one. It was a great brother's bestfriend type of story with hot chemistry and sweet moments and fantastic banter. While I enjoyed it, I will admit that I was a little thrown by Mia's rash decisions concerning her brother and his friends as they seemed a tad unrealistic and harsh. Furthermore, while I loved seeing her inner strength and confidence, it seemed she was borderline meek and mousy at times afraid to stand up for herself which was difficult to process.
All in all this was a solid addition to the series and while not one of my favorite books from this author it is still a must read in the Enemies to Lovers series. 4 stars! ~Ratula

“He was the one I spent nights dreaming about, and days drooling over.”
I love me a best friend's little sister tale, and RECKLESS by Michelle Horst, book two in her wildly addictive Enemies to Lovers series, was packed with heat and drama galore!
THE STORY:
This is a spoiler free review so no juicy plot details will be divulged but will say I love, love, LOVE the Screw Crew, a group of lifelong friends who may not all be connected by blood but are brothers in every way that matters! As for the central storyline, Mia has been hopelessly in love with her older brother Rhett’s best friend Logan for years, and the feeling is more than mutual. But even though the roguishly sexy bad boy was strictly off limits, he gave Mia’s her first kiss and even made her starry eyed dreams come true by taking her to prom before leaving her behind with Rhett and the rest of the boys to pursue their careers in NYC. Then to her utter despair, Logan and the others cruelly cut off all contact, shattering her young innocent heart in the process.
Fast Forward three years later, where Mia has shed her baby fat and has gained a newfound sense of self worth, but the rejection still stings. When she moves to NYC they all finally reconnect, and try to clear the air. Logan is devastated to discover how much Mia has been hurt over the years, but also fiercely attracted to the beautiful, vibrant young woman who inflames his heart and soul! She is understandably wary of his intentions, but he is determined to atone for the past and reclaim his girl at any cost! But in a tragic twist of fate, heartbreak looms on the horizon, and it's anyone’s guess who will survive the catastrophic fallout!
MY THOUGHTS:
Wow! Michelle Horst did not hold back with this book! Although it got off to a rather slow start, once it kicked into high gear, there was nonstop drama and angst and passion, and I was on the edge of my seat! This is a beautifully written, emotionally palpable story about first and forever love, fierce abiding friendship, loyalty and sacrifice, hope and healing and risking it all for your one shot at happiness!
One of my fave things about this Enemies to Lovers series is the Crew—Logan, Carter, Rhett, Jaxson and Marcus—five gorgeous, devastatingly sexy, former bad boys who have grown into strong, chivalrous men and always have each other’s backs through thick and thin. But be forewarned just when you think there is nothing that can ever break them apart there is a shocking bombshell that's dropped that forever alters all their lives...and yikes--it will DECIMATE!!
However, unfortunately the romance between Logan and Mia did not enthrall on the same level, and as much as I wanted to fall head over heels in love with this couple, their story just never caught fire with me. For starters, for a star-crossed duo that was supposedly so into each other, I found it hard to believe that Logan would not recognize Mia a year later when she came to visit him and Rhett in NYC. The reason given was that she had lost so much weight and was unrecognizable but that was just too farfetched for me to believe.
Secondly, although I very much enjoyed their sweet rapport, as well as their sizzling hot love scenes—wowza did this Mia and Logan BURN UP THE SHEETS! -- the romance unfolded at a breakneck speed and other than some small hiccups there were never really any compelling emotional obstacles in the way of their reunion. One thing I loved about the first book, HEARTLESS, was the fiery push-pull and explosive sparks between Carter and Della, but in the case of Logan and Mia there was not much soul-deep struggle in the way to their HEA. I just wish that the author had slowed their romance down to play out more emotional beats and really made this couple WORK for their HEA.
Perhaps if there had been a stronger foundation of their relationship in the past, via flashbacks interspersed throughout the story, instead of just one isolated recap in the very beginning, I would have invested more. As it was, we were TOLD that they shared an epic, forever love—i.e. “I love Mia. As a teenager, I knew she was the one for me. As a man, it’s time I make her mine” --but it just never truly resonated with me because of their romance was not fleshed out enough. And for some inexplicable reason the whole forbidden "best friend’s little sister" arc was suddenly dropped, because when Logan stakes his claim, Rhett was all for the union! That would have been a good source of tension IMO. I am also sad to report that even though the Josie subplot was entertaining, and definitely provided oodles of melodrama, I thought it was kind of over the top!
On the positive side, although the Mia/Logan union missed the mark for me, I am still glad I stuck it out because of the emotion-packed drama with the Screw Crew, and I will say that we are awarded a HEART-STIRRINGLY BEAUTIFUL HEA, which touched me greatly.
BOTTOM LINE:
I wish I had more positive things to say about this book because I am a HUGE Michelle Horst fan and was very much looking forward to Mia and Logan’s second chance romance. But this is just MY opinion, and based on some very glowing reviews, I may be in the minority here. So I recommend that you definitely read this book for yourself--especially if you have been following this series from the beginning!
And for the record...I am still VERY much invested in this series and have HIGH HOPES for Jaxson and Leigh’s story, CARELESS, which promises to be a DOOZY!

I enjoyed Mia and Logan's story a lot more than Della and Carter's story as far as their connection/relationship. They were perfect for each other and I loved how sweet Logan was to her from the beginning. For such a short book this was PACKED with emotion. There's Mia and Logan's relationship, the roommate, her brother Rhett, but also with the situation one of the Crew members. It is a lot. I understand why this problem was introduced here as it will transition to the next book but it is so monumental that I think it usurped Mia and Logan's conclusion a bit too much. Still, I enjoyed this story and I look forward to continuing this series.

“I love listening to your heart beat. I like to think it’s the rhythm of our love.”
This is book two in the Enemies to Lovers series and my first one by Michelle. I think this is a fantastic read with a brilliant storyline and great twists and turns.
I would've loved more drama, but that's just me.

It's good, but Marcus's illness brought an extra depth to the story.

1 Ridiculous Star
I'm sorry to say that I just didn't like this one. I love the second chance/childhood friends trope, and this had potential, and to say I was disappointed by how this turned out, would be an understatement. First, the plot was absolutely ridiculous. We met the guys from the "Screw crew" in the previous book, which I liked, so I was already familiar with the characters. Mia is Rhett's little sister, and because of that she's like a little sister to all the guys (except for Logan who apparently has feelings for her). So the idea that they all move away after college, and kind of abandon her is just stupid. Her brother moves and leaves his little sister behind, but stays in touch via text message, without ever really checking on her, talking on the phone or trying to see her in 4 years?? Supposedly they love each other so much because their parents died and they only have each other, so not even a phone call to see how she's doing?? And Mia, stops receiving any communication from his brother and his friends, so she goes to NY where the they all live now, and when she's told he's out of the country she just gives up, and didn't even leave a message??? Maybe say "Im Rhett's sister, and ask to see the other guys? Oh, but she does see two of the other guys walking past her (Logan being one of them), and she says hi to them but they don't answer back, so she doesn't say anything and just leaves NY. The explanation was Logan didn't recognize her. He was supposed to be in love with her, yet when he sees her, doesn't recognize her!!!! Really???? Ugh.
So later on, she tried a second time, but she's told she has to make an appointment to see her own brother, and when her brother cancelled her appointment to see her (as if I’d ever accept that I had to make an appointment to see my own brother), she never tried again?? BTW that was never explained, why nobody in his office told him she had an appointment to see him. She couldn't just call and explain who she was and ask to talk to him, or any of the other guys she was supposed to be so close to??? None of the other guys ever wondered where is Mia or how is she, if she was like their little sister??? WTH???? And Logan who was supposedly in love with her never tried to check on her, see her, never even a phone call???? This was one of the worst most stupid plots I have ever read. NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE!!!
Then they just happen to run into each other at a club one night, so they are reunited after 4 years and they all act like they have missed her so much, but never checked on her before. Right.
Then when they find out the person who caused the miscommunication, who was behind all of this, they kind of confronted her over the phone, and poof, she's gone from the story, in the blink of an eye. So silly.
Again, this was so inane and stupid, to the point of being laughable.
I won't even bother about commenting on the rest of the story. Not worth the time or energy tbh. I don't think I'll read the next book in this series.

im really in the minority here, but i just didnt like the book. The only thing i liked was the part about marcus. Everything felt rushed and there was barely any character development in the story.

This is book two in the Enemies to Lovers series. Each book can be read as a standalone in the series. I do highly recommend that you read book 1- Heartless first as it’s a great introduction to this series.
Reckless is Mia and Logan’s story. It continues the story of the "Screw Crew" and is a good follow-up to book one. Mia always remembers her first kiss, when Logan taught her to kiss and though Mia has always loved Logan- her older brother’s best friend. Mia thinks Logan saw her as Rhett’s little sister, not a young woman and didn’t feel the chemistry/connection that she always felt when she was around him. When the boys all moved to New York after trying to contact them with no luck, Mia decides that she can make it on her own, with the support of her friend Josie. Deciding to move to New York, even though she’s not talking to her brother, she surprised when she sees him in bar, and even more surprised the chemistry with Logan is still as strong as ever. I don’t want to give any spoilers away but what I will say is there is a lot of angst and drama over the past and there is some intrigue involving certain members of the “screw crew”, and the need to find out why Josie is so unhappy ..plus will Logan and Mia get their HEA? Only if Logan admits to returning Mia’s feelings will that happen but you have to read this amazing and emotionally beautiful 2nd chance love story to find out.
The story flowed perfectly, the characters meshed well together and I loved the setup for the next book. The chemistry and connection between Mia and Logan was off the charts. Their passion was so hot, that at times my kindle was about to explode-that is how good it was. I really liked the depth of character and how real everyone came off as. I enjoyed the fact that Mia felt real, not like a Barbie doll but she was portrayed as a real woman with a real body type. That was something I appreciated the author for doing, for showing how real women look today AND the love between Mia and Logan was beautiful .I will say, keep a box of tissues handy for this will have you at times crying with emotions- this story has the feels!!! I so can’t wait for the next story in the series
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

This is second book in the Enemies to Lovers series and I liked it :) I've been waiting for Logan and Mia's story since reading, Heartless, and catching a few glimpses into their story line and Michelle Horst didn't disappoint ;)
Reckless starts as a teenage crush, a first kiss, loving someone unattainable, and then that someone (Logan) and having no choice but to accept and move on (Mia). Mia has loved Logan for so long and its deeply hurt by him, her brother and lifelong friends, Carter, Jaxson and Marcus when all of them disappear from her life, no communication for 3 long years. Unknown forces intervened and made it that way and many things happened to Mia and she had to grow up, become independent and strong... she had no choice; she's a warrior :) <3
Logan realized he's wasted years without being with Mia when he sees her again after three years and he won't waste anymore time but he has a battle on his hands because Mia is not the young naive girl she once was, and now has walls built around her heart, yet he's determined to win back her trust, regain a majority spot in her heart, gain her love and possess her soul for her to be forever his <3 <3
The actions of Logan and the rest of the boys in the Screw Crew messed up Mia's life without knowing it until nearly the end of this story, which by the way, I wasn't expecting that unforeseen twist. But it made these boys realize how callous and cruel they were back in college.
Can't wait to read Jaxson's story next and see if he will grovel (like it should) for the girl he wronged in college, Leigh. I hope we see him be put to his paces to win the love and trust of Leigh :) <3

OMG this one is so a mixture of emotions that by the end it I became a crying mess. I read this in a few hours. I couldn't put it down I had to know how it ended.
This was the second book in the series and it's about Mia and Logan, but the whole group is involved in the story of course. Mia is left behind to go to college and live in Mia and Rhett, Mia's brother, childhood home. The group leaving was Rhett, Logan, his twin Jaxson, Carter and Marcus. They were headed to NYC.
Mia entered college and found a friend in Josie.
For several months Rhett and Logan were the only ones who kept in contact with her. Then the communication was ended. Mia lost her phone and had to get another. She called, text and messages after messages, with nothing in return. One day she decided that she was going to find out why they forgot her, asking herself what had she done to have them cut all contact with her.
Mia goes to NYC and finds Rhetts' place of work, Indie Ink Publishing. She goes there to confront him. When she gets to the floor where his office is, she sees Logan with Carter. He looks at her and then turns his head away, not saying a word to her, nothing, acting like he doesn't even know her. She turns and continues to her brothers receptionist and asks for Rhett. In return she is told he's out of the country...
Three years later Mia moves to NY. She only moved there because Rhett was too.

This is not the first time I have read this author and it won't be the last. This is book two in the series Enemies To Lovers. This book is angsty at times and has some twists that I didn't see coming. There was a gambit of emotions with this book. I read the first book and I am always wary that we won't get everything we fell in love with form the first and through the series. There is no need to worry you get and then some. The Screw Crew is back and this time it leaves some heart fail for someone. We are back with Logan and Mia’s for this book. The taboo off limits little sister falling for the best friend, second chance romance. Put on your seatbelt and join this bumpy ride.
Mia the younger sister of Rhett and she has a secret crush on his best friend Logan. She wanted to Logan to be everything. Her first kiss first love. You get it. We start off with her planning on making those dreams come true. When she thinks they do the bottom falls out on her. She is left reeling and now it is time to move on. There is nothing worse than not having your feelings returned.
Logan is a strong alpha male. He has this possessive side when it comes to Mia that is not the familial way at all, even though he thinks it should be. He is afraid to cross the lines of friendship. When they see each other for the first time the chemistry is still there but so is a lot of hurts. When Rhett and Logan along with the rest of the crew left she was alone. Then she meets Josie and now she has a friend and a life. Now, back to that meeting. CLASSIC is all I can say. I think is one of the times I actually had a smile except when Logan shows up at her class.
They could have had an easier time but lack of communication with everyone. You can't place blame too much on one person. It was cumulative.
I liked the secondary characters. There are twist and turns then I found myself reeling and in pain and my heart hurt then plummeted to the floor. I actually had tears when reading about Marcus. Like I said all the emotions were there.
I look forward to the next book in the series. Though I don’t think it is Marcus I want him now. Join Logan and Mia and see if they can grow and fall in love.

“My insides are quivering with nerves and I can feel my hands shaking. My heart is beating so loudly it’s all I can hear.”
This is a story about loving your brother’s best friend and reuniting with the one who got away. Its the second book in the Enemies to Lovers series but could also be read as a standalone. In order to get some background to the series, I do recommend reading Heartless before this one.
Being Rhett’s little sister Mia has always been off limits. Logan has always walked a thin line with that rule. He was her first kiss and first love. Unfortunately life takes them on different paths and she loses touch with him, but some connections withstand the trails of time.
“Even though we haven’t had contact for so long, I still love him. I think everybody has that one person they never stop loving. Logan is my person.”
Mia is lonely, strong and determined to make it on her own. She is a hard worker but is unsure where her future should lead. Logan is a sweet, caring and swoon worthy. They have a sweet and passionate love.
The Screw Crew is back, however they have all grown up a lot and are more responsible. I love the interaction between all of the characters and getting teased with little bits of their stories. I’m excited for the next book but the wait for Marcus’s book will possibly kill me. I’m on the edge and I need it NOW!!!
“I love listening to your heart beat. I like to think it’s the rhythm of our love.”

I loved Mia and Logan! Mia has loved Logan since she was a teenager, but was off-limits to Logan because she was Rhett's sister. Logan, Rhett, Marcus, Carter, and Jaxson are part of the Screw Crew, a group they started during college. They are all loyal to each other and those they care about. They band together when Mia is in trouble, and when one of the crew is going through a rough time. Logan doesn't want to go behind Rhett's back, so he intends to get his permission to be with Mia. Will they get Rhett's blessing, before they are tempted to be reckless? This is the first book I have read by Michelle Horst, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

OMG! The feels in this book. I cried more than I have in a long time reading this. Logan, the sexy attorney and Mia, the untouchable sister. This makes an amazing story. The fighting feeling and struggle. The insane plot twist and getting updates on all the guys! And Marcus....keeper of the list.....
February 26, 2018
The crew is back, if I enjoyed the first book in the series this one is even better, it was emotionally charged and full of angst . Logan the silent and serious attorney has been forever in love with Mia whose Rhett's little sister. Where as Mia has a huge crush and is obsessed with Logan. Logan was my favorite and was looking forward to his story and this is so worth it and more, All the guys Carter, Jaxson, Logan, Rhett & Marcus have moved to New York . The story was written beautifully with so much emotion . It pulls you in as soon as it starts and is another page turner. The chemistry between Logan and Mia was undeniably off the chart and the bond between the guys and their friendship is still as strong as ever. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
January 20, 2018
Ohh Michelle Horst....
What a beautiful and gripping story about second chances this was.
I was hooked from the very first chapter and couldn't put the book down until the end.
I love this book,the fi rst one to and can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Wow! This book blew me away. I was hooked from the first page & could not put it down. Logan will make you fall in love with him. This books has twist & turns in it & you will feel every emotion there is. Grab your tissues bc this book will make you cry. I can not wait until the next book.
January 31, 2018
WOW this book. Logan is so swoon worthy. and Josie... well there is crazy and then there is Josie. Holy crap batman that girl was a level all on her own. What she did to the h was unbelievable. I was a wee bit disappointed that she kinda disappeared from the book, I mean she was sent to a facility but then we never hear any more. Like to have read something in the epilogue. Then there was Marcus. what a way to leave a cliff hanger for him.... just him the book does end nicely but does leave a door open for his book. So excited to read the next book. good read.

I'm a sucker for a brother's best friend romance so enjoying this was a given lol.
I think this book really did it for me because not only did I love this trope but we get to know the friend group more intimately. Mia and Logan were absolutely fabulous to read about but we also got to experience the bond between all the boys which made my day.
We learn a lot about this group and the moments with everyone involved were the sweetest!

Reckless (An Enemies To Lovers Novel Book 2) is a wonderful read. A well written book that has an entertaining plot. Characters are engaging and are easy to root for. Filled with heat, longing and hot passion, this book reads easily and keeps your interest. Several twists, turns and surprises keep you on the edge of your seat. I'm posting an honest review after reading an advance copy of this book.

#ScrewCrew #EnemiestoLovers #Logan&Mia
The Screw Crew is back, and holy tear-jerker! If you enjoyed the first book in this series, you are going to seriously LOVE Reckless! I am pretty sure I was crying through most of this book. But It was just so emotional, and the story-line with what Mia went through because of the boys actions just broke me. I COULD NOT PUT THIS ONE DOWN! If you are looking for an Ansty, Emotional story that will keep you captivated to the last page...I highly recommend picking Reckless up! Now this can be read as a standalone, but I feel to really get the history of these characters, I recommend reading Heartless first. I can't wait to start Careless next :)
