Reckless Hearts by Jagger Cole

3.0

I'll be honest...this book felt a little underwhelming. Maybe it's because of the same tropes that have been reused and recycled in this series. Or maybe it's the double standards (and slight OW drama). Personally, I'm done with the virgin heroine trope lol. One where the h doesn't look at another man but where the H fucks his way through half of the female population. I really don't like it. Also, I felt like Deimos' character was more tell rather than show. Like, he claimed to be a psycho but it didn't really feel like it??? Or maybe I'm just so far gone in the dark romance genre that his character didn't feel that dark to me lmao. Other than that, the story was decent. The smut felt a bit flat and repetitive for me but it was still okay ig. Overall, this was an okay read that I'd recommend as a palate cleanser and if you're looking for a quick, steamy book.
