book review #6
when we were reckless by emery rose š¹
as i am literally on my death bed, drinking my tea, i thought it be a good idea to write about the book i recently finished.
naturally, right?
so, i read, when we were reckless by emery rose. it is the third book in the lost stars series. you can read it has a standalone, but i wouldnāt recommend it because the characters are intertwined through the book.
the first book in the series is called, when the stars fall (book 1). this book follows jude mccallister and itās a second chance romance.
the second book in the series is called, when the storm breaks (book 2). this book follows brody mccalister and itās an opposites attract romance. cowboy meets rockstar type of vibe. itās so so good!!
when we were reckless follows another mccalister brother and thatās jesse. he followed his career in motocross and became super successful, despite what his family thought. they were upset that he didnāt get a degree.
jesse was in a relationship for a few years before it all went south! so, he went back home for the summer where he came face to face with quinn, his best friendās little sister.
do we see where iām going with this? if you couldnāt have guessed by now, this is an age-gap, brotherās best friend romance!!!!! i literally love this trope š. canāt get enough of it. the age different was a lot at first, but itās fine. totally fineā¦? lol.
our baby quinn has been in love with jesse since she was a little girl, but of course he doesnāt know that. duhhh. dual pov gold.
there is a lot of angst and sexual tension between jesse and quinn because itās supposed to be forbidden. sheās too young for him. but something kept pulling him to her. it really is a cute love story.
they come up with a deal to give into what they are feeling, but only sexually. they would just be a summer fling, then after summer, it will end. thatās it. they would be over. but is it ever really over? no š.
and the little gifts each day that jesse would leave quinn while she was in college. š© i died. it was so adorable.
you guys have to read this series! donāt sleep on emery rose and the lost stars series!!! iām forreal. i couldnāt put the book down.
next read:
corrupt by penelope douglas ā ļø
penelope douglas is the queen of smut, so i know the devils night series wonāt disappoint me! iāve been putting off this series for a while. but, i am ready for the hot, dirty, spice!! š„µš¶
wish me luck.
