Reckless Rapture

Stolen Legacy #4

by Candice Bundy, Piper Fox

My magic is back, I have my posse by my side, and we’re ready to kick Taneisha’s fourth quest in the proverbial ass to get back Franc’s divine mask.

Ironic that my first visit to the demi-god Franc’s nightclub would be on a mercurial fae’s quest. But once we step inside, a divine madness sweeps us up onto the dancefloor. Magic runs wild in Franc’s club, transforming it from a bacchanal to a frenzied rave. Anyone can come in, but the visitors are trapped inside, unable to reach the outer world.

Finding Franc’s legacy, a mask imbued with divine madness, turns out to be the easy part. Freeing the mask, and the patrons, is another matter entirely.

When I run into an old boyfriend in the throng, I fear rumors of my travels and my companions will find their way back to my family. That’s assuming he lives through pissing off my posse.

After I don’t own up to my evolving relationship with my guys, they decide it's time to teach me a lesson. With the heat in their eyes, I can’t help but wonder how I’ll survive all five of them burning all for me.

This is book four of six in the Stolen Legacy series. This is an action adventure why choose steamy romance where the female main character has more than one love interest. Includes m/m in some books.

I have literally just finished reading this book, and honestly I love this series so much. The fact I'm not a big fan of RH is saying something, but this series is full of mind games, humour, steamy moments and intense cliffhanger moments. The characters are all so incredible, each with a unique personality. My favourite has been Caden from the very start, but I still love the other 4 men. Sera is a strong willed woman with a sassy edge to her, although it's not how she started off. She's really becoming more confident, and she's not one to be taken lightly. The trials the tricky fae has placed them in, with each book has been exciting from the start. Things are really getting heated up, and I can't wait for the next book to see how things play out with Ems lagacy item. I definitely need these in paperback to add to my collection.

This is the fourth in the Stolen Legacy series. They’re off on their quest for Franc’s missing mask. They get to his nightclub and find it crazy in there. Oh, and you can get in but you can’t get out. Lots of mystery, drama, danger and of course, HEAT.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is another exciting chapter for the series and the twists and mystery continue. I love how their relationship keeps getting deeper as each book comes out. More adventure, danger and action pile up with the fab steam and I can't wait for the next book in this page turning series :D

Como say what?! I may have to reread this one! PHEW!!

I think this was my favorite quest out of all of them. Wowza was there a lot of unpacking and flashbacks to mythology that I'd forgotten.

devoured

I have seriously been unable to put this series down. I’m happily exhausted from lack of sleep while experiencing these trails with Sera and her Posse.

[Wanika · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series so much. It’s fun, sexy, and has a messy fae plus adventure! It’s all the things we like with 1/3 of the length thank god lol .

Book 4 leaves off right where book 3 ended, with the group dropped right in front of Franc’s club dreading what they’ll find inside. Dealing with revealers, a bacchanal of extreme measures, and Sera’s finicky magic, the night might not be as easy as it seems. People from Sera’s life, an unusually helpful Taneisha, and Sera “letting go “…..might just be the things that tip everything over the edge. Enjoy the groups adventure and 2.5 chapter long fun times in book 4!

I devoured that paranormal reverse harem so fast and now I can’t wait for the last book of the series! I love Sera and the posse. Loved how the characters evolved and how the world is presented through each quest. This book is the quest for Dyonisios mask in Velvet. It’s so crazy that I struggled to follow everything and I feel that Sera should have accepted her fate by now. But, alas, let’s go to book 5!

For those of you just joining, this series is a perpetual reminder of how impatient I am and why I love streaming culture over the agonizingly slow weekly release of new television episodes. At the end of every installment, I am impatient for the next.

I’m going to assume you’ve read the first three installments already. If you haven’t yet, go do that right now. I’ll wait.

Okay, you’re all caught up now? Good. Reckless Rapture is the fourth installment and centers on the demi-god Franc, grandson of Dionysos. His club has been turned into a prison, trapping revelers inside riding high on the god energy that infuses the place. Sera’s magic, which went missing in the last installment, has been returned and is running high and out of control.

Back in the present time and on home turf, Sera and the Posse must find Franc’s legacy item, help Sera get her magic under control, and deal with the revelers who have taken over Franc’s club in his absence. Without Franc there to control the magic inside the club, energies are at a fever pitch and the people are in danger but thanks to the barrier put up by Taneisha, they’re unable to leave.

Of course, because it wouldn’t be a smutty romance novel if they didn’t, they decide to use sex to help Sera expend some of her excess magical energy. This, of course, backfires in a big way turning Sera into another issue to be solved and turning the already out-of-control energy in the club dark.

Cue the chaos. The Posse splits up, some off to save Sera while others face the now frenzied revelers as Franc tries to rescue his legacy in order to free everyone from the barrier and Taneisha’s grasp. The stakes are higher than ever, the danger greater, and the posse is fracturing under the stress.

I was utterly riveted to the story and will now be hounding the authors for the next installment because, as mentioned, I am an impatient brat. I cannot wait to see what twists the next adventure brings us.

I received an ARC of this book for a voluntary read and review.

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is not my favorite installment of the saga. While it’s one thing for the fae to put the posse in harms way although it’s petty and vindictive there are rules and they agreed to the quests. The people in the club are innocent and are being harmed for no reason. Also while I’ve no issues with a sexy story this one seemed more about the coupling shall we say and less about the plot and the quest. Perhaps it’s because Franc is a descendant of Dionysos and his nature but it just wasn’t as fun as the other stories for me. Your mileage may vary.

Once again, I'm entertained enough, but this is just a series I'm cruising through. I'm not super attached to the characters or the plot or anything, but I'm kinda just vibing on a mindless weekend. Obviously, it is still good enough that I'm continuing with the series, just nothing standout or really good

[Christina Blake · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining and fun romp!

So, four of the five quests have now been completed, along with Sera getting wild, down n dirty.

The final quest will commence in book five, and I am excited to see where this book takes us.

[Netta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! So much chaos and madness it's just one big drunken party! Franc really knows how to have a good time. I absolutely love it!

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

good story

These guys really annoyed T because she’s not holding back . I think Ray is good for T and she needs someone like him in her life.

[TAG · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick easy read. Not much depth to characters but imaginative enough to keep entertained.

[Cilla Terrien · Rating 4 out of 5]

let me start off by saying I absolutely love the series and will recommend it probably for the rest of my life. But with that being said out of all the books and I would rate them all a five-star except this one which I would give a four star. for me and this is just a personal opinion of mine and nothing else. this is the fourth installment of the stolen legacy series. In this one they are at Frank's club trying to reclaim his legacy which is the mask of his grandfather who is a god. there is a ton of suspense and action and a lot of spice in this one. I think more than the other ones honestly. But the whole general feel of the book is off. it kind of feels like they kept pushing Sera to the side for me personally. through all the ups downs and dangerous tasks that they have done The second they get into the real world again for this challenge they try to ship her off home and when she pretty much begs crying for them not to they still go to until they realized that they're trapped there. then after everything that happens she almost dies, thanks to Emmett she is revived. then there's a huge spicy scene. and pass the spicy scene that's when things start to kind of go downhill again at least in the mental area for me. when they all wake up after I guess you could call it a power blast they notice that Sera is gone . when two of the five men instantly go we have to find her we have to make sure she's okay we already pushed her past her limits with her magic being so chaotic. Frank turns around and makes it that she's not important right now and that only getting his legacy and saving his nightclub is and it takes him most of the book to realize that that's how he was treating her and honestly it's at the start of the next one where it really kind of hits home that oh crap I messed up. But for me in this book they were all such a great team ,work together so well and really a made family. then in this one it's like all that just disappeared until the very end and for me that wasn't a small issue . that's why this one's always a four star when the others would be a five-star.
