OK! This book was great! I liked other one on the series better but it was sooo good. Theo Silva is an amazing MMC, I just love him to pieces. The way he stepped up to do his role with Vivi was just incredible and the love he has for his baby girl is the most heartwarming thing ever. Seeing Winter develop and change so much because of the events in the book was just perfect, she went from being an Ice Queen to just being so in love with Theo and Vivi. The relationship that Winter and Vivi was just so refreshing to see, and the way she handled her single mom life before Theo came along was touching because she did it with so much love even through the rough moments because of the love that she had for her baby girl. Theo and Vivi's relationship was also so beautiful, you can see how much he loves his girl and he would do anything and everything for her. Winter and Theo's relationship was also so special, I think that even if Vivi wasn't a part of their lives they would have found each other at some point, they are just perfect for each other and their relationship is the sweetest. ALSO! Winter and Summer's relationship developmet in this book was just PERFECT! I loved to see it and it was a great addition to Winter's character development. Would definitely re-read this book without a second thought.

Rating: 5/5 stars
Winter decides to have a one-night stand with one of the most attractive men she’s ever seen, Theo Silva…but one night will change everything when she realizes she’s pregnant with his child.
Infinity stars to this one, which is an immediate all-time favorite of mine. I absolutely loved every second of it—this is what a surprise pregnancy novel should be. It’s what a romance novel should be. It’s everything, and Winter and Theo will live rent-free in my head for the rest of time.
There are so many great book boyfriends out there, but the fact is a romance just hits different when you find an MMC who says the exact things you hope someone may one day say to you and an FMC you can see parts of yourself within. Theo is absolute perfection, I relate SO hard to Winter, and this one truly made me feel all the feels as a result.
Absolute A+ perfection. I’ve loved this entire series, but RECKLESS is absolutely in a class by itself.
CW: Toxic relationship/marriage; pregnancy; mentions of past miscarriage/infertility

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [5/5]
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ [5/5]
📌 You’ll dig this if you like
» Cowboys and rodeos
» Opposites attract
» He falls first
» Burn down the world for you 🔥
» Second chances
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. 😆
🚫 Triggers: Infidelity, parental abandonment, surprise pregnancy, sports injury, stalking (ex), mentions of grooming (not directly related to MCs) and abuse of power. Please check warnings.

Theo and Winter are my roman empire. This book has me in a consensual chokehold. I absolutely loved how something that was supposed to be a one night stand and nothing more turned into a life altering moment that brought them together once more. Watching Winter slowly open up to Theo was such a beautiful experience. Theo realizing what he’s missed out on and not only embracing his new role but being such a supportive figure for both Winter and Vivi had my heart EXPLODING.

Loved it - probably my favourite of the series!!! (I’ll have to re-read Cade and Willa’s book to compare) The characters and settings felt multidimensional and realistic! Loved it!
