4.5 Stars. This was a sweet, cute fast read.
After Jade's ex boyfriend lied to her about his new business, she lost all her money and her business. She decided to start new and move to a small town in Montana. She met Maverick, and wanted him, but was scared of her decisions especially after her ex-boyfriend. And oh boy. Maverick was totally book boyfriend goals!!! I love him so much. He's a broody man yet sweet to Jade.
I absolutely adore this world so much.
This is the third book in the series but can definitely be read as a standalone.
It’s an easy read with likeable characters and a beautiful small town feel.
I loved the chemistry between Maverick and Jade and felt like their romance felt believable. I really enjoyed it.
Reckless is the third book in the Adventures in Love series by Aurora Rose Reynolds, but the books can be read as standalone's with no trouble. The series is based on three ex-military men who started a business, Live Life Adventures, together which offers tours in the Montana wilderness. This is Maverick and Jade’s story who we met in the previous books.
After her business and her relationship crash, Jade decides to move to Montana, where her best friend lives, to start over. Starting a new business venture kept her busy, but she couldn’t help falling for Maverick.
Maverick had never let a woman get too close but Jade someone squeezed between the walls around his heart. After a childhood with his mother abandoning his family, he convinced himself he never wanted to marry and have children. Then when he saw his two friends settling down, he wanted that but thought he would never find someone he trusted enough to risk his heart on.
I have loved this series and I am sad to see the end of it. I really enjoyed all the characters and the town of Big Sky Country. The series has all the small-town feel-goods and left me smiling. I highly recommend it and hope to see everyone again.
Maverick and Jade have both been hurt. Watching them fall in love was so sweet! Neither of them thought they'd find their person, which makes it that much sweeter.
Maverick immediately is drawn to Jade so he tries to stay away at first. She just got out of a bad relationship and is not interested in putting herself back out there. I love how when they first start seeing one another, Maverick doesn't want to keep it a secret, but does for Jade. He makes her feel safe and hopeful. She makes him see that he really can have it all.
There's the perfect amount of steam and only a little conflict. This was an amazing little book!
I received an ARC for an honest review.
This is the 3rd book in the series and is my favourite. I have loved the characters throughout the series and the chemistry between Maverick and Jade is so palpable.
My heart broke for Jade. She has been through so much and after losing her dream she is lost, hoping a new start in a new town with her best friend will help her find her way.
Jade and Maverick have met before but when she gets stuck in a snowstorm moving to her new town and Maverick comes to rescue they both start looking at things differently and the chemistry starts building up ready to explode.
I have really enjoyed this series so I am quite sad to say goodbye to these characters. I can't wait to see what AAR brings us next.
I loved every minute of this intoxicating story. I found myself immediately connected to the two main characters, Maverick and Jade and immersed in their story.
Jade is anything but reckless and after some things happen that are beyond her control, she is afraid to take chances with her heart again. Jade has just moved from Oregon to a small town in Montana to be closer to her best friend and that is where she meets Maverick.
I loved everything about Maverick. Even though he is an alpha male, he is also warm, sensitive and caring. Maverick is reserved and careful with his heart, but he just can’t seem to resist Jade.
Maverick and Jade have a passionate relationship and I enjoyed all of their encounters. They have an immediate connection and I could feel all the sparks flying whenever they are together, even though they try to resist each other until they just can’t. Maverick and Jade try their best to keep their relationship a secret but that just doesn’t work and it’s entertaining as they try. I loved how Jade grows more trusting and comes out of her shell with Maverick. She has been hurt and moving to Montana is the best decision she has ever made.
This is the third book in The Adventures in Love series and each story is a stand alone, but all the characters are interconnected. I also enjoyed all the entertaining secondary characters in this story. They are a fun loving, large group of friends. They gossip and get into each other’s business, but always have each other's backs. This is another wonderful story by Aurora Rose Reynolds.
I loved this one!! There was so much steam and chemistry between Mav and Jade. Spicy, steamy, swoon-worthy small town romance with the kind of attraction the characters want to deny but can't.
Reckless is the third installment of the Adventures in Love series by Aurora Rose Reynolds. This is a small town, little angst, light read romance. Jade is moving to Montana to start over after a break-up and losing her bookstore. Maverick is basically more of a loner kind of guy. Their respective best friends are married so they have met before and know very little about each other. I have read the first and second books in this series and I enjoyed seeing the characters from the first two books in this one.
You can say that this is a slow burn romance with some instant attraction but it left me wanting more. I was very underwhelmed by this one. As I think about it, there wasn’t much character development or much of a storyline other than them not trusting in other people. I believe this could have been better if the characters were more fleshed out and more dimension to them. Nothing really “Reckless” in my opinion. There were a few sweet and some spicy moments but not very many. It does have the alpha male who is protective that is what the town of Aurora is known for, but with only a few chapters from Maverick’s point of view, it was hard to get a good idea of who Maverick is or even what he does.
However, the epilogue with the three diffident couples was very good with wrapping up the series. I have read and reread many of Ms. Reynolds books but this one was just okay to me.
Reckless is the third book in the Adventures in Love series. This one focuses on Maverick, the third owner of the retreat and best friends with Tanner and Blake. Jade is Cybil's best friend and we met her in book 1. Jade moves to Montana since her life took a turn for the worse back home. She reunites with Cybil and becomes more acquainted with Maverick. They start a friendship with underlying attraction. It's only a matter of time before neither can deny it and a friendship becomes more. It was interesting to see how it all will progress. Jade and Maverick were pleasant together. Both had their issues, but they just seemed to be what the other needed. It was also nice to see the closeness and friendship between all the guys and the girls. I really liked seeing how they were all there for each other. The found family and friends were strong throughout the series and I liked that. This was a series good for when you want a fast and lighthearted story. Overall, a fine quick read.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. Jade headed to Montana to start a new life with her best friend Cybil. Oregon had drained her dry and it was time to start over but she would have to get there first. Jade arrives to her destination safe and sound with the help of Maverick.
Maverick is a loner when it comes to relationships. Both he and Jade are gun shy when it comes to relationships. Both feel the magnetism and attraction between them. Both do everything to ignore the obvious pull until they can’t.
This couple is constantly fighting the past to save their relationship. Will the past tear Jade and Maverick apart before they can realize their true feelings for each other? Readers will have a distinct connection with both Jade and Maverick. Aurora is magnificent in the way she creates characters that make you care about them. Readers will love this couple just as much as they love Cybil and Tanner and Blake and Everly.
I've absolutely adored this series and was so excited for Maverick's book. One of my favorite parts was of course revisiting friends from the first two books but also Maverick being so close with little Claire! A man holding a baby is always swoon worthy. I also liked how good he was at listening to Jade.
This book is a little more insta love than I usually prefer, but since it was part of a series I was already obsessed with I didn't mind too much.
I felt like this book went a little too fast but that may have just been my mood.
I really enjoyed this and now kinda want to go reread the first two again because I loved them even more.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
Mav and Jades story is the first Ive read out of this series, from beginning to end I was rooting for them the whole time. The chemistry they have is on point, how they care for each other is my favorite. The small town romance with all their friends around them had everyone rooting for them in the end after a conflict appeared. The ending was fantastic. Now I must go back and read the others. :) cant wait to see how the series turns out
Fast paced, sweet and low angst romance in a small town in Montana.
Reckless is the last installment in The Love Adventures series.
I enjoyed Jade and Maverick and the kinda hot and cold banter in the beginning (that drove me crazy at times) which evolved into a great friendship into something more. Two people who had been hurt in the past and not looking for a relationship.
Overall I appreciated it; the setting place in Montana, the friendship and banter between all the characters that made it comfy and heartwarming, the romance between Jade and Maverick, sweet and steamy.
A satisfying ending to this series.
I will forever and always be here for The Boom!
This fast-paced low angst romance was exactly what I needed after a long hard day. I can always count on this author to provide a fantastic romantic escape.
Here's what I loved:
This was a very easy read. A quick escape.
I enjoyed both character arcs. Jade is genuine and relatable. A girl you'd want to be friends with. Maverick is an alpha hottie. Exactly what I've come to love from this author.
There's great banter and chemistry. My heart broke for Jade, but luckily Mav more than makes up for everything.
This is my new favorite book of the series!
If you love sweet second chance romances with instant chemistry, this is for you!
Jade is starting over in a new town with the help of her friend Cybil. However her first night in town she gets stuck in a snowstorm and Cybil sends Maverick out to collect her.
While their chemistry is strong they both seem to deny it for different reasons. Though Maverick does seem to keep showing up where she will be like on a date, and offers her friendship.
While there was sort of push pull with these two they do come around in the end.
I did love the part of her opening up a bookstore and partnering with the coffee shop where she worked part time, and supporting local artists.
I didn’t like the ending where it seems Mav didn’t want kids and he was coerced that he did in order to keep Jade. Really wish that was left out.
I really enjoyed Jade and Maverick's story. I feel like there's a laidback feel to their story and the way their relationship shifts and grows. It's easy between them though Jade has her own reservation because of what happened with her ex. Also because Maverick is a close friend and he has his own issue. It's kind of fast-paced too, so it was an easy and quick read for me.
Jade and Maverick's story is the third installment in the Adventures in Love series, I enjoyed this romance, it was sweet and emotional, with little angst but overall, I loved how they deal with their pasts, their interactions and how they had to finde their way to be together in the future. This small town romance is great for anyone that loves this trope ARR did a terrific writing, this world she created is swoony and one you would like to immerse yourself in.
This was a good book with the characteristics you expect from an Aurora Rose Reynolds story. It had an alpha male and an independent, feisty heroine. While there wasn’t much action/excitement in the story, it was a sweet, small-town romance. The pacing was slower than I prefer, but I still was interested in how the story would play out.
However, compared to the other books in this series or other novels by Aurora Rose Reynolds, this book was rather lackluster. It felt formulaic and failed to add anything new or different from this author’s previous stories. There was nothing about the book that I found particularly interesting, and my attention kept drifting to other things while I was reading. Also, the epilogue was heartwarming but not very romantic, and it didn’t feel like it fit in the context of the storyline. I’ve always felt captivated by this author’s novels, so I was quite surprised to find I didn’t really enjoy this one.
Overall, this was a solid romance to pass an afternoon with, but it was not up to my expectations for this author.
*I received an ARC of this book. This is my complete and honest review.*
𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩. I have read every book in this series. Reckless is the third book and I keep wanting more knowing this series will end soon makes me 😭. What to expect? - insta attraction, hidden relationship, best friends wife’s best friend, push and pull romance with a side of emotion with a little drama and all the feels that you need to leave you swooning. Maverick has kept himself from falling in love but once he meets Jade he can’t get enough of her. Jade has been hurt and doesn’t trust easy and has moved to be close to her best friend, what she doesn’t expect is to have her walls broken down. This book is effortless written and it’s just beautiful to read. I couldn’t stop reading and look forward to more from this series. I might be a bit biased because I love everything I read of Aurora rose Reynolds but she makes it so easy to fall in love with her characters. The books are standalones but have interconnected characters so I would highly recommend reading them all.
Finally, the third installment! Jade and Maverick were the most challenging couple for me in this series. I love this authors alpha’s, and Maverick is definitely one. There is a bit of back and forth between these two. Maverick really kept getting in his own way. HEA.
