I can't forgive her, but I can outwit her. I'm going to unravel the family secret she's been keeping from me my whole life. So I'm going to college across the state from her, to the place that has the answers. I hope. But I have to be careful or I'll blow everything. I can't tell anyone what I'm doing. I didn't mean to fall in love. I can't afford to give my heart away or open up to anyone, least of all charming, rich, former bad boy baseball star Logan Walker. But he looked so adorable sitting there nursing a black eye the night I met him at my very first campus event. The way he held my hand made me flush in the suffocating heat of August and feel really beautiful for the first time in so long I can't remember. My scar didn't even hurt. But Logan's moods are mercurial. He's keeping secrets of his own that are too dark to share, even with me. We agree to be just friends. But our hearts and bodies have minds of their own. Before I know it, I'm in too deep with him and the answer to the family secret I came to campus to find may be the thing that tears us apart. Review: Reckless Longing : A Contemporary College-set New Adult Romance - This book was amazing to read. There was so much more to this book. It was exciting to see how the story was unfolding in this book. The author did a great job in writing this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. This book had it all romance, drama and sex.ENJOY Review: Reckless Longing is a great story, with so many 5 star parts. - Reckless Longing is a great story, with so many 5 star parts. I loved Ellie and Logan, I loved the parts of their lives that they had to deal with, and I loved their romance. With just a few tweaks on small issues it could easily catapult to the next level. The story and the romance: This story was about Ellie and Logan, and the serious baggage weighing each them down individually. While the attraction they felt for each other was undeniable, they both knew that “right now” wasn’t a good time for a relationship…not until they sorted things out in their own lives first. However, they were so at ease with each other that it just felt so right. I wanted them to just go for it! The chemistry between Logan and Ellie was pretty tasty too, and I really can’t wait to see how it goes from this point. While they did have a few *a-hem* moments, I really feel like it was all a build up for the smexy reward we’ll get in book 2. ; Pacing and Style: This story was told only through Ellie’s eyes, so we never knew exactly what was going through Logan’s head, although we could guess most of the time based on his actions. So much of this story was told in a natural way, a way that had me slowly getting to know the characters, and I loved that. But then parts of the relationships were sped up based on one or two conversations and those parts seemed out of place (I will discuss that more later). Title/Cover: Both are just OK. As far as the title goes, I get the “longing” part, but not quite the “reckless” part. Neither one of these characters were reckless at all to me. Logan was definitely reckless a few years earlier, but it seemed like he was in total control of his actions when this story took place. As far as the cover goes, I don’t really think the guy seems very hot, it might be the angle, but I want to see a little scruff. He just looks too photo-shopped and airbrushed/waxy/plastic-y for me. Twists, Turns, and Secrets: Well, we knew there were secrets, but only were privvy to them a little bit at a time. I knew Ellie’s mom hadn’t treated her well, but didn’t know the extent of it for a while. (It was bad!!), and I knew something happened to Logan, but didn’t get all the details until later as well. Ending: One part ended in a happy place, but another part was definitely open-ended and I can’t wait to see what happens. Thank goodness for book 2! What Made Me Love This Book: I fell in love with this story because of Logan and Ellie, and their love that is so true and real. I just honestly liked them both so much alone and together. I also loved how each were so strong, even though they felt broken on the inside. They held their heads up no matter what, and just forged on, which made me respect them so much. The parts that didn’t quite jive for me: (WARNING! COULD BE A LITTLE BIT SPOILERY) Ok, so this part is going to lay out why the story isn’t quite a 5 star for me. Austin: She forgave him…just like that? After all the “heart break”? And he surprised her with a visit, it wasn’t like she had been planning on forgiving him. It just seemed like it came out of nowhere and it was hard to believe that she really made peace with it. Logan’s Dad: That part was tough. I didn’t like how Ellie told him off (she was really rude and it wasn’t her personality). It was like a light switch went off in his head which led him to apologize to Logan, and all was right in the world? No way would that have ever happened. And Logan just accepted the apology? My head was spinning from that section. Jason: Why didn’t Lyssa know? He seems like such a stand up kind of guy, yet is keeping this MASSIVE secret from his wife. Mom: Did Ellie really cut her off? I needed some closure with that relationship. Dex: He obviously likes her, this wasn’t addressed at all. Will it be? I love him though and hope he finds a girl to make him happy! Final Thoughts/Rec it? YES, this is a great start to the series. I fell in love with these characters and really want to see them through to the end to make sure they get their HEA’s ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,718 Free in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #215 in New Adult & College Romance (Kindle Store) #268 in Contemporary Romance Fiction #726 in Contemporary Romance (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![Reckless Longing: A Contemporary College-set New Adult Romance (Reckless series Book 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Dmradb2uL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reckless Longing : A Contemporary College-set New Adult Romance *by S***R on June 22, 2014* This book was amazing to read.

It was written well, and it flowed. It had an awesome storyline, which had me saying aww from the beginning. Wish I could have gotten their entire story instead of a cliffhanger ending though. I'd recommend this book and I looked forward to reading the other books in the series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/175592141-reckless-longing-a-contemporary-college-set-new-adult-romance-reckless](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/175592141-reckless-longing-a-contemporary-college-set-new-adult-romance-reckless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
