So, if you’ve read Powerless, you know Winter gives Theo a verbal lashing in the driveway of the ranch when they meet. I’m pleased to tell you we get the full scene, preceded by the moment they lay eyes on each other. What’s better is that it’s from Theo’s perspective and he is hooked!
The miscommunication enraged me until the end of the next chapter when it was clear something else was afoot. Elsie Silver masterfully draws emotion from readers.
Theo is known as a playboy on the circuit, and he wants to clean up his image. He wants to be worthy of Winter. Not a woman like her; he wants Winter. She doesn’t trust it because no one has ever chosen her; Theo accepts he has his work cut out for him. Challenge: accepted.
The banter between Winter and Theo is funny with just enough bite in the right places. Theo takes pleasure in sparring with her, and she feels safe enough with him to speak freely.
I spent most of my time reading this wearing a smile. I recommend Reckless wholeheartedly!
📌 What stood out
» Harvey Eaton, OBVIOUSLY 🤣 It wouldn’t be Chestnut Springs if he didn’t steal the show 🏆
» Theo is book boyfriend gold. He demands Winter prioritize herself and finds ways to force her to do it. Theo wins at woo!
📌 Moments
» Winter and Summer’s relationship levels up when they realise they can crack jokes about Rob; they’ve also both slept with Peter (Theo’s dog), which is very on brand for them. 😆

I adored Theo, obviously. How could you not? And Winter was so relatable and her growth was amazing. I am also so happy she and Sloane were made best friends. I have always rooted for Winter, and thankfully she got the story she deserves.
The sprinkles of Beau throughout make me both nervous and excited for the final book. I'm not sure my heart will be able to handle it.
