It's so hard to put into words how I felt whilst reading this book, it was such a complex and emotional story and one that will stay with me for a very long time. I'm already such a huge fan of this world, having read the original series with all the parents and now getting to do it all again with their children.
Luna & Knight have loved each other from little kids, but teenage angst and jealousy can be toxic - lump that together with parental illnesses and feelings of rejection, they have one hell of a journey to travel before they can even start thinking about pursuing a relationship.
"There were two Knight Coles. One was mine. The other everyone else’s."
I fell in love with Knight, a mamma's boy who was so sensitive and loving but with rejection issues so bad he often acted 'cocky' as a defense mechanism. Luna has always been a mystery to me so it was great getting to know her and find out how and why her selective mutism manifested itself.
As always, the writing was stunning and beautiful and everything I love about a gritty type of romance. Definitely not a fluffy series, it is raw and emotional, grab your tissues for this one because its a killer!

I really like some parts of it - but what I really didn't like was the way the female lead treated Josh, the person who she was meant to love. Plus, the ending was so so predictable.
However, I thought the storytelling and the quality of the writing was great so I would definitely give this author a second chance. I'm glad I read it, but it wasn't really for me in the end, despite the fact that I was really invested and I fell in love with the male lead who was fabulous.
I devoured this book, I absolutely loved it and I have discovered a new author that I really recommend.

I devoured this book, I absolutely loved it and I have discovered a new author that I really recommend.
Single mum Katrina loves Thursdays because that's when super hot jock Joel Moreno comes in for a coffee and a question - "will you go out with me?"
She always says no, because life is way too complicated to date someone who is a known commitment-phobe, but she dreads the day that he gets bored of asking her out.
Joel doesn't usually pursue girls, and completely oblivious to her role as a mother thinks he will crack her eventually, it's obvious she's into him so why would she not?
I fell in love with both characters equally, Katrina was a determined and focused woman whilst Joel, despite his well-known reputation, was a loving and loyal man. (Plus, bonus points for being Mexican American, my weakness!)
Then we have little Christian, cute as a button, and takes a huge role in this story.

Pretty Reckless is the first in a series that follows the children of this series -> Vicious
Here's what I loved about this book - the heroine is flawed, she's a bitch, and she is 100% real. I am now in my forties, but this story really took me back to my teens. Girls are often brought up to be "kind always" and all that jazz. But, the fact of the matter is that girls have emotions, huge angsty teenage feelings that are not always pleasant and nor should girls have to be kind to people that do not take their thoughts and feelings into consideration.
Daria is the daughter of Jaime and Melody from Defy. She is a spoilt brat, of course, and she has a very complicated and tumultuous relationship with her mother. She gets jealous a lot and hits back using her defence mechanism of being a complete an utter mean girl.
However, I adored her and I mostly loved how Penn Scully is the one who 'sees her' and the girl who just wants to be loved.
Penn was an interesting character too, and although he didn't realise it yet, he also yearned for love because he'd been let down in the past by the only two females in his life who were important to him. When Jaime & Melody take him in after becoming homeless, he has a chance to break down Daria's walls, the girl he was always intrigued by, and who hates him as much as he hates her. Enemies to lovers at it's finest.
Pretty Reckless for me, was an unputdownable story of raw emotions. I absolutely loved it!...more
