Pretty Reckless

Rate this book
Something was stolen from me.
So, I stole something back.
And I have been running ever since.

But when you have nothing to live for, you search for those hidden moments that truly make you feel alive.
What I hadn’t expected to find was a piece of my past buried in the underground pits of Redhill.

I went searching for the beast.
And found something much better.

I didn’t foresee Hawke. And I definitely wasn’t ready for Enzo.
But both of them were damn sure they wanted to keep me here…

Until secrets start to unravel, and truths begin to spill.

How could there ever be a future for the three of us when everything so far has been built on lies?

If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that being pretty reckless hurts, but being silent kills…

So this is a current/second chance romance. It follows Enzo the Enforcer for the Saints of Redhills Mafia. We get a more in-depth of why he is selectively mute. His backstory is honestly the heaviest so far. (lowkey him & Amelia are similar in bg tbh).

The dynamic with Enzo and Blake and Hawke was more than special. The way they love her is just beyond touching.

“𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙃𝙖𝙬𝙠𝙚, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚. 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩.” - Enzo about Hawke.

“𝙂𝙖𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩’𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙬𝙠𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤.” - Enzo about Blake and Hawke

Even in the darkness that he dwelled in because of the past Enzo allowed himself to have Hawke close. Hawke was always the quite that kept him level and when Blake came she became their peace. Blake was the final piece to their whole. Not only was she Enzo closure from his past but also the anchor that Hawke needed. Just reading how entwine their past is and how everything played out was perfect. I love them and I’m glad we got my hottie Enzo.

Also. I wanna be Blake sooo bad. 😭😭
🤭🤭. All in all. I’d rate:
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5

There is a content warning in the authors note, please heed authors advice.

At the age of fifteen Enzo did everything he possibly could to protect her, she fought, but it wasn’t enough, and before his very eyes, Lyra the he loved, was taken from him, never to be seen again. From that moment on he became someone else.

Blake has be on the move constantly, changing her name, her identity to keep her self hidden, never staying in the same place for too long. She is drawn to an underground fighting ring, she enjoys the thrill of adrenaline flowing through her body, it gives her what she needs.

Blake catches the attention of not only Hawke but Enzo as well. There is an immediate connection between the three of them, one they don’t deny, one they give into, but Blake knows it only short lived.

Blake finds herself in a precarious situation where she is assaulted and robbed. Emergency services comes to her aid, but she refuses their help. She makes her way back to Hawke and Enzo, before she succumbs to her injuries.

Hawke is enamoured with her, but Enzo is reserved not yet able to trust Blake completely. As Enzo orders a deep dive on her, Blake learns some startling information from Hawke about Enzo, her mind ticking over, that this in fact is the same boy, now a man from her past, everything is starting to catch up with her, but she isn’t ready yet, yet to confront the past or the truth.

And then in one night it comes crashing down around Blake, as Enzo is confronted with a truth that he has so long denied, his mind can’t comprehend the chaos around him, giving Blake a chilling warning he lets her go.

Enzo is done waiting for answers, he seeks out the van she was sleeping in, turning it inside out, he finds the answers that he is looking for, that Lyra and Blake are one and the same. And he is angry, angry that he couldn’t protect her, that all this time the girl he loved had been alive all along and within his grasp, and he let her go, again.

With no thought he goes to the one person he knows who can help him, Gabriel. As much as it pains Enzo, it shocks Gabriel and Amelia, when Enzo uses his voice to share his truth, about his past, and how Blake fits into the dynamics of his life.

Realising his error, Enzo goes in search of Blake, and he finds her much to his belief, she is in fear of her life, after the threat he made to her, of his promise, she is in fight and flight mode, but Enzo somehow enjoys the thrill of the chase, does he claims her, fighting him tooth and nail, and the next thing Blake knows, she finds herself between Hawke and Enzo, claiming her as their own.

Yet when Enzo is called away during the night to meet with Gabriel, does Gabriel share some startling news not only about Hawke, but also about Blake, and what exactly she was into that landed her in the middle of the situation she is in right now, answers Enzo is going to get.

When Enzo shares with Hawke, the news about his brother, he is at a loss for words, but more so the fact that Blake becomes a moving target, as Hawke moves to get Blake to safety, she becomes a casualty, putting both Hawke and Enzo at an impasse.

And then the past and present collide for Blake, Enzo and Hawke as the secrets that were hidden away, come to light, for when they learn what lengths she went to as a child to survive, do they begin to understand why she did what she did, what she endured, not realising the collateral damage in the process.

And when everything is finally revealed, and the one’s responsible have been held accountable for their actions, and those wronged, justice is served. Hawke feel hurt by what Blake kept from him, as they work through this, he doesn’t hold her accountable for her actions, because they are in the past, and he understands that she was doing what she needed to do in order to survive and he cannot fault her for that, because Hawke loves her, and Blake and Enzo are his home and they are hers.

For now, without fear she can bask in the warmth of her happiness, their love for her infinite, fulfilling her basest desires, giving her unconditional love and joy that she has never felt before. Because they belong to each other always. There HEA perfection.

With Blake, there possessiveness and obsessive need for control and dominance, there foreplay it was off the charts. There need for her and each other was possessive, wicked and depraved, She own’s their heart as they own hers heart, mind and body. Those s*x scenes were blazing hot, downright dirty and physical, it had all the pleasure and passion one would expect for they will be all that Blake will need for they will always get what they want, each giving the other pain and pleasure, they deserve.

This book has it all dark organised crime/ mafia romance, two morally gray possessive alpha males, one strong female who fights for survival and fights against what she knows she wants, touch her and die vibes, family dynamics, madness, mayhem, revenge, vengeance, violence, defiance, manipulation, adrenaline seeking suspense, jealousy, twists and truths.

I received an ARC, therefore am leaving a voluntary review.

Highly recommend both author and book!

𝒲𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓁𝑒𝓉 𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓂𝓅𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝒶 𝓉𝒶𝓈𝓉𝑒 𝓅𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁?

Pretty Reckless was my favorite book in this series so far! I knew Enzo's story was going to blow me away, but this exceeded all my expectations and more.

This book was raw and real, and oh my, the spice was off the charts. These three loved each other's broken pieces. They were soulmates.

𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓈𝒽𝑒 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑒𝓃𝑔𝑒𝒹 𝓂𝑒.

If you have read the previous books, you know that EVERYONE was so curious about Enzo. He was the silent enforcer, and when Ria announced that Enzo was finally getting his story told, I was so excited I couldn't wait to dive in.

𝑀𝓎 𝓅𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝓇𝑒𝒸𝓀𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝒹𝒸𝒶𝓉, 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓃 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓊𝓈 𝒶𝓈 𝓌𝑒 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓎𝑜𝓊.

We knew Enzo was damaged and that he was going to have a sad, dark, and tragic past that made him into the man he is today. I was not ready for Hawke and Blake. These two were absolutely PERFECT for Enzo; they knew all his secrets and flaws, and none of that mattered to them. They all just needed someone to love them back.

Hawke was the whole package and more. He loved all of Enzo's broken pieces, and he didn't care about his past or anything else; all he knew was that he loved this man.

𝐿𝑒𝓉 𝐸𝓃𝓏𝑜 𝓅𝒶𝒾𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓅𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒻𝒶𝒸𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒸𝓇𝒶𝓏𝓎 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓂𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝓊𝓈.

Blake was badass; she came in like a wrecking ball, but even badasses need protecting, and wow, she wasn't prepared for the past to finally catch up to her.

𝒲𝒶𝓉𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒽𝑜𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐼’𝓋𝑒 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓈𝑒𝑒𝓃, 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝒾𝓈 𝓂𝓎 𝑔𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝓅𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓈𝓊𝓇𝑒.

I didn't want this story to end, but it was so worth the wait! I hope that Devon's story is next.😉

I thank the author and peachy keenas for giving me an opportunity to read eARC.

I understood now why Enzo was a man of silence because reading the prologue of his past just broke my heart into tiny pieces.

I loved Blake because she's fiesty and strong willed women who loves reckless actions and dangers. Hawke was another MMC who's a bartender and meets Blake when she came to fight in the ring with the The Enforcer aka Enzo. Hawke has a charming and caring personality but protects and fiercely loves Enzo and Blake. The MCs has a complicated twisted past that somehow unknowingly connects all of them together in the end.

The story was amazing and has dark themes. The suspense and secrets balanced perfectly with the high tension romance. I looked forward to Enzo's story when he first showed up in No Saint and his past explained how broken he was and why he drowns in blood and violence because he refused to be a helpless boy fifteen years ago.

Hawke anchors Enzo and Blake when they drown in the darkness. The spicy scenes was chef kiss and unholy hot! Hawke and Enzo's dirty mouth! The ending was satisfying and well deserved one after all the hell they went through!

The other characters from previous books shows up and just reminded me how much I miss them so, I'll probably reread No Saint and All the broken pieces soon!

When your past catches up with you and therein lies coincides that a simple conversation would have laid it all bare 🙃 Our FMC is strong having gone through what she did, she still managed to get her revenge though at a cost to her now having to look over her shoulder and move on.

It was well written, the smut is MM, MF and MMF 🌶️, the twist near the end was good 😊

Heat: 3/5

Pretty Reckless is a heated, MMF, mafia story about Enzo, Hawke and Blake. Fate and circumstance have these people meeting separately at different points in their lives until they converge at the fighting pits one evening. All because Blake was itching for a little chaos before leaving town.

Their meet cute was pretty entertaining, and seeing how the author weaves each character’s history together to show how one person’s actions had a butterfly effect on the rest of them was pretty cool. Things get a little slow as they try to figure out their feelings and as I waited for the other shoe to drop.

AND DROP IT DID. Definitely more like exploded into a million pieces. The action, the drama, and the supportive characters were all amazing at the end. Did I mention the heat? Phew! Enzo, Blake and Hawke know how to make you sweat.

This is my first book by Ria Wilde that I have read. I have purchased a few other books by here but had not yet come around to reading them. But after reading Pretty Ruthless that is changing immediately. I will definitely be starting with No Saint and All The Broken Pieces as all these characters interconnect. In this book you will find: A MMC mafia second chance romance with possessive MMCs, somewhat instant love, praise, a kick butt FMC. I enjoyed Hawke, Blake and Enzo. And while i knew exactly where this was going in the beginning for the most part of it I found that Ria’s writing was very entertaining and was easily read in one sitting. I have a feeling she is going to be a one click author from now on.

This book wasn’t bad but I wasn’t that into it. It had a good second chance element that I liked because that’s such a great trope but it moved too fast paced for me. I didn’t feel the tension or the chemistry. There wasn’t much build up they just all jumped into bed together in like the first chapter and don’t get me wrong sometimes that works but it didn’t in this one FOR ME unfortunately. But listen…it’s not a horrible book there was some MMF spice which is always a plus and sometimes it’s nice to read a book and not have to wait a long time for the smut so if that’s for you check it out, but this was just a very forgettable book to me I will never think of it again I’d imagine 😏

Wow, I can’t express how much I loved this book. Ria really did a phenomenal job writing this one! I started this book at 9pm and thought I’d read a little and continue the next day, nope!! After reading the first chapter I knew I wouldn’t be able to put it down until I was finished. It took about 3 hours, and I wasn’t ready to read that last page.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting Enzo’s story since No Saint. I knew from how quite he was, there was definitely a dark and emotional past there, and I couldn’t wait for it. But I couldn’t anticipate how much I was going to fall for his story.
I loved the young innocent love that Lyra/Blake and Enzo shared as teens, even when they were in the worst environment, they found something so real and special. And then they were ripped apart and separated for years. I loved how Ria intertwined these 3 people and connected them, and the surprises and twists that were thrown in. Enzo saved Hawke, but in return Hawke saved him too from the pain of his past. Enzo never got over or really recovered from what happened to Lyra/Blake, and finding her again was the missing piece that both guys needed.
I honestly can’t recommend this book and the others from this world enough!

Blake was a spitfire she held her own & was usually reckless, I love how she wasn’t a damsel in distress & made sure her men knew that. Hawke was a giant softie with a dirty mouth but don’t let his softness fool you he’s just as lethal as Enzo when it comes to his partners, his possessiveness was everything. I cried when Enzo’s silence was explained & how one night made him into the Infamous mafia enforcer. I like how they all had a past together that combined them before they actually got together. I’m sad this has come to an end but I’m hoping for a book on Hawke’s brother.

I thought this book would be alot better to be honest :( First of all I wish the author would’ve described the MCs looks a bit more. I couldn’t envision anyone except for the FMC because it was repeated over and over again about how small, fragile, and blonde she was. I wish her character had alot more depth too. Besides her never ending trauma you didn’t get a feel of who Blake really was. I was left feeling nothing towards her and that left me upset because I wanted to like her. I didn’t have a sense of how her personality really was outside of the things she’s experienced, so I didn’t get how the MMCs fell for her so deeply. You could argue that she’s ballsy, stubborn, and self sacrificing, but I would just say she’s like that because of her past issues along the way.

This had so much potential but I the constant repeat of “she’s so small”, “tiny”, “little”. It was exhausting, you don’t need to repeat a characters appearance over and over. Her constant I can only save myself and only I can be the one wronged and hurt mentally was annoying. This all ruined the book for me unfortunately. I made it 98% and just stopped I couldn’t do it anymore.

Pretty Reckless- Ria Wilde

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I loved this book so much! I couldn’t put it down. I’m obsessed with these characters and this whole world Ria has built. The way she wrote this I think was unique, different than how most books are written I think. She eludes to what happened with the characters early on, but seeing how it plays how when all is revealed is top tier storytelling, IMO. Let’s get into it shall we?

We’ll start with our FMC. She’s strong, reckless, badass Blake, who’s been on the run for 15 years. What is she on the run from? Well, she died, and no one knew she survived, even her best friend and childhood sweetheart who watched her die. When she shows up 15 years later just looking to let off some reckless energy, she doesn’t expect her past to finally catch up with her.

Enzo, strong, ruthless, mafia enforcer, Enzo…he wasn’t always those things. He used to just be tall, lanky, weak. He couldn’t protect the one thing he loved in the world, so when her voice and her life was stolen from her, he went silent too. He hasn’t spoken in 15 years, but he vowed to better himself so that he would always be able to protect the ones he loved.

Hawke is beautifully damaged with a history intertwined with both Enzo’s and Blake’s, that no one even knows about. When Enzo shows up one day, he rescues him out of the clutches of ruthless gang retaliation and vows to protect him going forward. Hawke and Enzo love each other fiercely, and when their little wildcat comes barreling in with a shrouded history, will the dynamic between the three of them bring them all closer together or will it tear them apart?

The title fits perfectly with the FMC ‘Blake’, her decisions and her life events are pretty reckless and dangerous. She is small but feisty, a devil-in-disguise type. Her character has so much to tell and feel and so much darkness from the past. Enzo is the anticipated character from the previous books, I wanted to know about him and the story is well delivered. It’s a pretty straightforward story where the past catches up to you no matter what, you can’t run away from it forever. But the best thing I felt is how the saying that the ‘world is small’ fits her perfectly. You’ll know what I mean when you will read it. Ria Wilde summarised everything amazingly and maintained the suspense everywhere where it was needed. She wrote the plot with mystery, darkness, and spice.

Hawke/Blake aka Lyra/Enzo

We start with 15 yo first love soul mates Lyra and Enzo. When Lyra has her throat cut by a child molester, Enzo thinks she’s dead and grieves for 13 years— not exactly on the separation time. Lyra survived and changed her name to Blake. Now she’s in town to fight the 6 foot 5 Enforcer at fight club. She’s like 5 foot tall and a hundred pounds… not buying this. She used to have honey blonde hair now it’s platinum blonde. Any way she fights Enzo in the pit and then spies Hawke. They hit it off and have sex with Enzo watching the. Joining in. The first love soul
Mates don’t recognize each other— not buying this at all and it made the story seem silly. That’s the big secret that goes on for most of the book. What a let down. There’s lots of sex… MM, MFM etc. there’s not much connection between the soul mates for most of the book. Hawke should have been the MC because this book seemed more about him and his relationship with the other 2.

This was my first Ria book and I really enjoyed it!

It’s fast paced, spicy, fun, sexy and dark!

Blake and Enzo meet as teens when they are placed in the same foster home. Unfortunately, their foster caregiver is a monster. After a traumatic evening, Enzo’s left thinking that Blake passed away.

15 years later, the pair reunite when Blake challenges the now infamous mafia enforcer in an underground fight.

I freaking love this whole universe, the plot, the spice, the chemistry and the connection they all found was so perfectly written.

When I read the other books, I was so excited to find out what the story will be with Enzo. And I was not disappointed. I was perfectly satisfied, I cried a little.

And how Blake was able to survive on the road and on her own.

I also loved that Amelia and Emery befriended Blake, because she never had a genuine girl friendship and was able to live her life to the fullest.

And the last scene in the book really showed the dynamics between them, and I was here for it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Ria does it again!

This MMF second chance hate to love romance (on the MF side) was just so freaking good.

Blake and Enzo’s back story is so traumatic and so sad. These two have been THROUGH IT! We learn why Enzo doesn’t speak much at all, and why Blake has been on the run for most of her life.

The relationship between Hawke & Enzo is just.. ahh. I love it. They’ve helped each other through so much and understand each other so well. And then when you add Blake into the mix and their love for her and their need to protect her.. my heart!

This book was FIRE 🔥.

Someone please teach Ria apostrophe and possessive rules

Saint’s what..? Saint’s Mafia Emporium..?

The repeated incorrect use of apostrophes, coupled with many other egregious grammatical and proofreading errors made me think she didn’t have an editor, or a beta reader, or a friend or a critical mother.

One extra star for the pace, not many boring parts. The steam was kind of meh, especially for MMF.

(I received an ARC for this book)

Trigger Warnings include:
mentions of attempted SA and attempted murder of a minor, mafia related violence/torture grief/loss

Oh Enzo…our darling enforcer. That man has had my attention since Gabriel introduced us to him in No Saint. Hawke had my attention from the moment we meet him, that damn flirt! I knew Blake for barely a full chapter and I knew this book was aptly named! It didn’t matter how reckless she was, she was also brave, strong, determined. And oh boy was she stubborn! Blake fit right in with Enzo and Hawke. And it was a good thing, since they were ready to do whatever it took to keep her. Blake felt the need to be with them, understand them, just as much as they felt the need to be with her. I knew long before we were told…but that didn’t stop me from gasping when we found out the connection between them. The twisted web of lies and coincidences. They were each so worried how the other would feel, react as truths were exposed. It made my heart ache. I was the equivalent of an entire stadium cheering when “who the f- did this” was said. The grin that spread across my face when Gabriel got involved…it probably matched Enzo’s. What I wasn’t expecting? How emotional I got when Enzo felt like he was losing his strength, even though it was the strongest he had ever been. I cried through his moment of ‘weakness’ with Grabriel, with Hawke, and with Blake. I loved the connection between each of them. Hawke and Enzo were so beautifully intertwined with each other. There was never any doubt how much they loved each other. And that wasn’t any different once Blake was included.

Thank you Author and Peachy Keen PR for providing me with an eARC copy of this book.

“Hawke was the foundation, he was sturdy, sure and strong where Enzo was the hurricane, a temperamental man with heavy demons and a short fuse.”

I have no words…this is my first MMF book i read and I’m blown away. I knew Ria’s writing would be explosive and i was right. This book was amazing and i think it’s the reason why i’ll maybe start reading MMF & MFM (no promises though😂😂) I didn’t think I’d like this genre considering it’s out of my comfort zone but i love it now.

Hawke, Enzo and Blake were amazing. I loved the dynamic of their relationship and i loved how they care for her and she them. Their backstory broke my heart and I’m glad they found each other.

I loved seeing the characters from (NO Saint & All The Broken Pieces) though i hoped i saw Atlas more😂😂 the spice in this one was spicing it was hot and beautifully written. I cannot wait to read the next book.

This book is now available on Amazon so go get it guys.

“Explosive. We were explosive, the three of us. I couldn’t give this up, give her up or him.”
