Jade and Maverick's story, like most of Aurora's, gave us a little of every in the feels.

Neither Jade nor Maverick have the best dating history or love lives, and their both a little jaded. Makes for a great combination for romance, right?...

Absolutely.

The chemistry between the characters is undeniable. But that's not enough because they had work to do on themselves as well as together. Their journey wasn't easy, and I do feel like the end was a little rushed, but for the most part, I enjoy them.

A little sweet, a little drama, and some real deliciously dirty shenanigans. It hit the sweet spot for sure and is definitely a pallet cleanser read for me.

This was such a great new book Aurora, I loved it and had such a fun time reading.

This is about Jade who’s looking to start new when she meets Maverick, she’s trying to convince herself that he’s not the one for her but only fate will tell.

Maverick has called time on him being in a relationship but what happens when he meets the new girl in town and is having second thoughts on relationships?

I thought that the characters were written so well, they both have their reasons for why they don’t think the other is the one but they are only kidding themselves.

Highly recommend checking out this book.

This book was absolutely adorable. I enjoyed all the books in this series. I am a big fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds. This book follows her normal story line and usually the couple connect and fall in love pretty quickly. Which is how I prefer it.

When Jade is forced to shut down her bookshop she decides to try small-town life in Montana with her best friend (Cybil from Rushed by Aurora Rose Reynolds). She is trying to learn to take measures decisions and not be so reckless. However, the hot guy who keeps turning up to be her knight in shining armour and blowing hot and cold is not helping.

A super easy quick read (only just over 200 pages), with romance, steam and a bookshop. What isn’t to love? I’ve found all three books in this series enjoyable and the characters easy to like. Definitely good for a quick minimum concentration read.

I did not find this story engaging enough for me. Unfortunately I did not finish it. I found it lacked plot and did not keep me hooked sadly. However I did like the description of the main characters.

This was a gorgeous small town romance and they always seem to take hold of my heart. It was a light and enjoyable read with just the most gorgeous of characters.

As usual ARR as blown me away with he words and he beautiful worlds. This woman knows how to write the perfect men. Whether they are the over the top Alpha or just the quietly standing by Alpha they always know how to treat and love their women. Even if some take some time getting out of their own way even now and again. And Maverick just needed a little nudge getting there but he got there but after the way he grew up I honestly couldn't blame him. And Jade she surprised me on a lot of different things not badly but surprised.  And as usual I didn't want this book to end and I'm really hoping this isn't the end of this series or the last will see of these characters because I love this world!! But I know that I feel that way about anything that ARR writes. If you haven't started this series I highly recommend it!!! It's absolutely perfect all 3 books are!!

This book grabbed my attention from the first chapter. With every turn of the page, I fell more in love with this couple. I cannot wait for more installments in this series..

I’m a sucker for a small town romance, and I’m also a sucker for Aurora Rose Reynolds. I’m obsessed with her Until series so as soon as I saw this one I had to have it. Im in love with Jade and Maverick

The third and (unless we get a surprise) final story in the Adventures in Love series. Jade and Mav are the last ones standing in the singles ring. I wasn't sure how these two would work, but in the end they proved that there were meant to be. We get some good drama, nothing too crazy, a tiny bit of heartbreak, and round that out with some spicey naughty bits; this was a really good read and I give it 5 stars.

This was an okay read, but I feel like I should have read the first two in the series for me to have been more invested in the story.
I will eventually reread this as I did enjoy some of it and I feel I'd be immersed if I read from book one.

This was a fabulous book. It was funny and had wonderful pacing. I would read this author again. I would recommend this book to others.

I've been waiting for Jade's story and it does not disappoint! I love everything Aurora writes and Reckless was the perfect swoony small town romance. I definitely recommend if you love a fun small town spicy romance book.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this title.

I did end up binging the series, and unfortunately found this the weakest of the three. I loved the small town, but the development we saw from the other heroes, I felt we didn't see as thoroughly in this. He had some real issues with his past that seemed to be glossed over and instantly healed miraculously.

I do enjoy the style of writing, and will check out other titles by the author. Overall a fun series.

I don't know what it is about this author, but I will read every book she write! But, I will have to say that I was a bit disappointed with this book. There wasn't much going on, but it kind of hit the spot. In all honesty, I found it to be a little boring. In terms of the actual relationship, it was kind of insta-love but a slow burn.

Book #2 was definetly my favorite!

Reckless is another 5 star read from one of my favourite authors, Aurora Rose Reynolds!! After Jade’s life blows up she moves to Montana and is determined to be more cautious. Once she's there she meets Maverick, who she desperately tries to convince herself she doesn't need in her life, but she knows she wants him. Where Maverick has sworn off relationships but is undeniably drawn to Jade. They both have trust issues so they have to figure out if they can get over their fears or if it's too reckless to try.
I love Jade and Maverick together!! Their chemistry is off the charts, and their romance is definitely both sweet and steamy. There is some angst but I love that mostly they get to enjoy being with each other with hardly any drama, although there is drama to keep things interesting. Jade is strong, fierce, kind, and even though she has been unlucky in her dating life, she doesn't give up on the love she deserves. And trust me, she definitely has bad luck with dates. Then there's Maverick who's totally swoon worthy, loyal, caring, and is not afraid of hard work. I love how he pushes Jade but is still respectful of what she wants. He did need some ass kicking at one point though.
I also love getting to see the characters from the previous books! It was nice to see how their lives are going and their friendships with both Maverick and Jade. I have to mention that the bachelorette party had me dying in laughter, OMG!!
Thank you Wildlife Marketing and Aurora for the ARC!

3.5 stars

This was a really nice introduction to this series. What a pity it's not the first! However, I'm sold and I'll be going back to read the others in this series.

This was a sweet, quick read with characters that are interesting and worthy a few hours of a reader's time.

Im not sure the title really embodies the story though as there is little that is reckless in Jade and Maverick's journey to HEA.

First time read from this author. The book started off a little bit slow for me personally, but picked up midway through the book. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and family. I’d like to read some more books from this author in the future.

***5 Stars***

When I first got my hands on this baby, I was all kinds of excited. I loved the previous books and Jade was a fav, but then a weird book slump happened and I put it off because I didn’t want my “mood” to possibly influence my reading. So, I waited…and waited and FINALLY dove in and I freakin’ loved Jade and Maverick’s journey, as well as hanging out with the crew from Live Life Adventures.

As I said, I already liked Jade after meeting her in Rushed and was crossing my toes that we’d get more of her and we did. She’s sweet, sassy and though her world has gone sideways, she’s still more optimistic about her future than pessimistic. Maverick was all kinds of protective goodness, I wouldn’t call him full on grumpy and broody, but it was a bit close. And though his heart has been battered and bruised, it’s still all kinds of golden.

Their journey to their HEA was all kinds of goodness. Jade and Mav try their hardest to keep their distance ~ physically and emotionally ~ but they fail in every way. They hit a couple of bumps in their road, but as they were both dealing with their pasts and how it has colored their views on their futures and relationships, it wasn’t all that surprising. But they just worked for me. Their bantering, chemistry and just how they flowed when they were together made it easy to believe that they were meant to be.

This was a fun read. The angst is quite low, though there are a few moments that definitely make things just a little more interesting. It was a lot of fun to catch up with the Montana crew and see how everyone is doing in their relationships. I’m crossing my toes that there will be more from this series because there are a few that are still single that I wouldn’t mind seeing get their HEA’s but, if there isn’t, this was a great way to end things.

Small-town romance is a new guilty pleasure for me, and Reckless delivered all the goodness I associate with this trope!

A strong and sexy alpha male, a small-town setting and swoonworthy moments kept me coming back for more.

I have read several other books by Aurora Rose Reynolds, and her storytelling never disappoints.

Note; because I’m awesome I didn’t realise this was part of a series so now I’m going to have to go and read them because this one was so enjoyable!
