Really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters. Thoroughly enjoyed reading. Wish I had a friend like Dex. Can't wait to try the recipe.

I enjoyed this book. It had a good plot line and the characters were well developed and interesting. I think it should have been wrapped up in the one book and i think dragging it out into a series could make the next books questionable, but I'm hoping to be proved wrong when I read them.

Reckless Longing is a great story, with so many 5 star parts. I loved Ellie and Logan, I loved the parts of their lives that they had to deal with, and I loved their romance. With just a few tweaks on small issues it could easily catapult to the next level.The story and the romance: This story was about Ellie and Logan, and the serious baggage weighing each them down individually. While the attraction they felt for each other was undeniable, they both knew that “right now” wasn’t a good time for a relationship…not until they sorted things out in their own lives first. However, they were so at ease with each other that it just felt so right. I wanted them to just go for it! The chemistry between Logan and Ellie was pretty tasty too, and I really can’t wait to see how it goes from this point. While they did have a few *a-hem* moments, I really feel like it was all a build up for the smexy reward we’ll get in book 2. ;Pacing and Style: This story was told only through Ellie’s eyes, so we never knew exactly what was going through Logan’s head, although we could guess most of the time based on his actions. So much of this story was told in a natural way, a way that had me slowly getting to know the characters, and I loved that. But then parts of the relationships were sped up based on one or two conversations and those parts seemed out of place (I will discuss that more later).Title/Cover: Both are just OK. As far as the title goes, I get the “longing” part, but not quite the “reckless” part. Neither one of these characters were reckless at all to me. Logan was definitely reckless a few years earlier, but it seemed like he was in total control of his actions when this story took place. As far as the cover goes, I don’t really think the guy seems very hot, it might be the angle, but I want to see a little scruff. He just looks too photo-shopped and airbrushed/waxy/plastic-y for me.Twists, Turns, and Secrets: Well, we knew there were secrets, but only were privvy to them a little bit at a time. I knew Ellie’s mom hadn’t treated her well, but didn’t know the extent of it for a while. (It was bad!!), and I knew something happened to Logan, but didn’t get all the details until later as well.Ending: One part ended in a happy place, but another part was definitely open-ended and I can’t wait to see what happens. Thank goodness for book 2!What Made Me Love This Book: I fell in love with this story because of Logan and Ellie, and their love that is so true and real. I just honestly liked them both so much alone and together. I also loved how each were so strong, even though they felt broken on the inside. They held their heads up no matter what, and just forged on, which made me respect them so much.The parts that didn’t quite jive for me: (WARNING! COULD BE A LITTLE BIT SPOILERY) Ok, so this part is going to lay out why the story isn’t quite a 5 star for me. Austin: She forgave him…just like that? After all the “heart break”? And he surprised her with a visit, it wasn’t like she had been planning on forgiving him. It just seemed like it came out of nowhere and it was hard to believe that she really made peace with it. Logan’s Dad: That part was tough. I didn’t like how Ellie told him off (she was really rude and it wasn’t her personality). It was like a light switch went off in his head which led him to apologize to Logan, and all was right in the world? No way would that have ever happened. And Logan just accepted the apology? My head was spinning from that section. Jason: Why didn’t Lyssa know? He seems like such a stand up kind of guy, yet is keeping this MASSIVE secret from his wife. Mom: Did Ellie really cut her off? I needed some closure with that relationship. Dex: He obviously likes her, this wasn’t addressed at all. Will it be? I love him though and hope he finds a girl to make him happy!Final Thoughts/Rec it? YES, this is a great start to the series. I fell in love with these characters and really want to see them through to the end to make sure they get their HEA’s

Took a while to get into the story (maybe that was just me) look forward to reading the other books and find out what happens in the long run! Strong characters, really 2 stories for the price of one!!
