REVIEW- Reckless (Reckless #1) by Priscilla West


Everything about him warned me to stay away.

I’d seen bad boys before, but he had it all and more. The rippling muscles covered in tatts, the piercing eyes hiding dark secrets, the silky voice that could make a girl come with just a whisper . . .

He was exactly the type of guy that would get me in trouble, but when he jumped off the stage, inked skin glistening with sweat and breathed his seductive words into my ear, I couldn’t resist the temptation.

It was supposed to be the best one-night stand of my life, but fate didn’t let it play out that way. Things happened. I got upset. I got hasty. And worst of all, I got reckless.

After that disaster, I thought it was the last I’d see of him. But what I didn’t know was that I’d started something.

Something that could shatter the very thing I had worked so hard to protect.

I should have known back then that the most seductive things in life are also the most dangerous.

Reckless - Book One of Two
Reckless 2- Book Two of Two 









I was completely sucked into Reckless within the first few paragraphs of chapter 1 and completely shut the real world out so that I could give my full attention to Jax and Riley. I should first say that I am a sucker for a bad boy. A bad boy with tattoos that fronts a rock band AND rides a motorcycle? What’s another word for perfect? Because that is Jax in a nutshell.

When we first meet Riley, she’s out with a friend at what I took to be kind of a local dive bar with live music. She gives off the impression of a no strings attached party girl. When the band takes the stage and the entire place comes alive - and ladies seem to orgasm from the lead singer’s voice alone - we are intrigued right along with Riley. When the lead singer seemingly chooses her out of the crowd and approaches her, I held my breath. I felt the chemistry oozing off the page and setting it on fire. When they meet backstage and their interaction is both turbulent and sexually charged I knew I was a goner.  

I loved the twist that the girl I assumed was a party girl is in fact an accountant! Riley is a tour accountant and will be on the road for a few weeks with one of the hottest rock bands around. We also learn close to the same time that the aforementioned lead singer isn’t just part of some local rock band but in fact  the front man of the same band she’ll be touring with. When these two reconnect on the tour bus their simmering passion is like a volcano waiting to erupt. When it does …well Jax just melts your heart (and panties) right along with Riley’s.

I loved Riley’s sass and her (failed) attempts to keep her relationship with the sexy rock God, Jax, professional. I loved how broken Jax was and that something in Riley makes him want to heal. Together they need each other for balance and to keep them whole. It is as if they can’t fully exist as a whole person without the other. As if all this time they’ve simply been biding time until they found each other.


When Jax opens up to Riley in a way that he never has before, wheels are set in motion that could forever change them as individuals, a couple and the fate of their future is put in jeopardy. I have no doubt that whatever adversity and danger these two face in the rest of the series, their love and commitment to each other will persevere.
