The moment I discovered his lie, everything I thought I knew about him was destroyed in an instant. I thought I knew pain. I thought I knew grief. I knew nothing. And nothing could compare to the moment Toby ripped my heart right out of my chest. Confirming all my worst fears. Shattering the very foundation my life has been built on. It was all an act. A sick and twisted game. He’s nothing more than a monster. Deception is his weapon. And now I’m his victim. Rock bottom is a familiar place, and once again I’m trying to drag myself out of the pits of despair. But fate is an evil master, and before long I find myself with no other place to turn… but him. He might be cruel. Reckless. Dangerous. But I also know that he’ll do anything to right his wrongs. Despite my tattered heart, and my better judgment, I know he’s still trying to prove to me that he’s not all bad. That the sweet guy I fell so hard for really does exists. But will it be enough?

Review (there’re no spoilers so you can freely read my opinion)

I received ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh my god!

Jeez, Tracy Lorraine just blew my mind up with this book. I asked for more action, for more appearance of the other characters and she just did it so perfectly incredible. I knew Toby was alluring, but seriously, he is on completely another level. He surprised me so much and yeah, although he's the good and nice one he also carry this screwed up nature, but it's not so fucked up like Theo or dear God, as Daemon. He's more driven by his emotions and during the journey trying to do the correct and right things. I loved how he acted with Jodie in this book and the way he took it, looking for redemption and forgiveness after the cliff-hanger in the first one.

What I actually liked very much is that the author turned the storyline completely different from the other two couples we read about. There's darkness, twisted games and secrets, as also a lot of crazy moments, but we were delivered with some much more tenderness and gentleness. We didn't observe bullying the principal characters in its usual way, but we read about the thirst for vengeance and revenge because of deep experienced traumas from the past and by the hand of a monster. What we also were shown is how a simple person can pull the strings of a lot of people by manipulating their movements all along.

Toby and Jodie's story is different from the others because she's an outsider and doesn't experience that need for violence like the others in the series. She grew up and was educated about life like normal people and not those prepared to kill and create mayhem. Their story is much more based in healing, understanding and being normal (almost). The perspective that Tracy followed is completely opposite to the one of the other couples and that's refreshing. Toby's character reminded me of an alpha but with a moral working clock, at times a bit uncoordinated. He's an alpha but with vanilla savour. Thanks to "Hades" for giving me these kinky vibes, jajaja, because without it this is the most vanilla couple in the Knight's Ridge Series at the moment. Though, they're still cute and lovely.

In "Reckless Princess" Jodie grew up and expanded her vision about everything related to Toby and his past (also her own). What I liked a lot about her character was her capacity to analyse every crumb she was left to deal with without having the whole picture. She ran a few times for my liking, but as a reader and trying to be empathetic with the situation I could perfectly understand her actions. After all, she's not a fighter in the way Stella or Emmie are. She stood her ground, but before doing it she needed time to proceed everything and decide what direction to take. In the first book (as you can check in my previous review) I didn't like her much, because in some situations she irritated me and appeared as fragile, damsel in distress, crying almost always or being in a depressive mood. She was a bit overdoing things, but analysing it from the outside it was completely normal. Even so she had a bit of a charging personality for my taste. And yeah, I gave the book 4,5 stars and I still stand behind my note. It was unnerving but in the end I loved the story, because a good author is capable of turning the tables and changing what we usually are accustomed to reading about. Turns out, I ended up liking her character's development.

Trying not to make any spoilers, I'll only tell you that the sequel didn't disappoint me in the least and I can't wait for "Reckless Dynasty". The cliffhanger in "Reckless Princess" was... oh my god! I just need to know what happens next, as right now!

As to resume my thoughts, the book was very well written, captivating me one more time with the world created and built up so absolutely perfect, there wasn't a part that was out of place. On the contrary, each move, character's appearance or action complemented the structure of the whole story transforming it into something unique. Tracy is capable of building this world up and at that moment she's not losing the point of view of making all the characters have their moments and growth during the series. I couldn't enjoy it more than I did the second book and I'm impatient for the outcome of Toby and Jodie's story.
