RELEASE DAY: Recklessly Devoted by Emily Bowie

💛 💛 💛

 

Cassy Campbell

For one night of fun I kissed a man whose name I never cared to know. I pushed down all of the rules I had in place for myself with this one act of selfishness. No one had to know, and I could lie to myself that it never happened. People don’t remember tourists, and neither should I. It’s not like he was marriage material anyway.

No one is more surprised than me when a year goes by and that tourist becomes my freakishly hot, annoying, cocky neighbor who looks at me like a predator stalking his prey.  

He is everything I was told to never go for, yet I can’t escape this feeling of being drawn to him.

Brody Bennett

After surviving a military accident, my entire future is in shambles, the only life I’ve ever known ripped from me. Attempting to run from my ego, I find myself in the small town of Three Rivers, where I can forget my problems and annoy my two younger brothers. Misery loves company, right?

It doesn’t take long for my sights to narrow in on an incredibly sexy blonde. The problem is she looks at me like she wants to squish me like a bug.

As shocking twists and deadly truths spiral out of control, I am forced to fight for the people who matter most in my life.

Rules are broken, hearts are trampled, and the lies that hold everything perfectly in place are torn down.

This is book three in the Bennett Brothers Series, it is told in dual POV, and has a HEA. Since characters do play recurring roles, reading book one (Recklessly Mine) and book two (Recklessly Forbidden) in the series, is recommended; however, it can be read as a standalone.

  

Recklessly Devoted is the end of the Bennett Brothers… I’m so sad! However, Emily Bowie sure went out with a bang! Brody was the best book yet! Bowie’s writing has blossomed over this three books and I just can’t adore this group any more than I already do! I’m a bit sad, I feel like I get so close to the people after so many books. Bowie sure put Brody and Cassy through the ringer! I was so mad at Brody… like I wanted to woop that man! However, when he gives his heart though, he gives all of him. He finally won me over! Cassy was adorable and I loved her spunk! Brody and Cassy were good for each other. They brought a good balance to each other.

I was so sad to see this is the last Bennett Brother books but Bowie has given us some fantastic secondary characters that I know she can write some fantastic spin offs! Luke… oh Luke, we all love to hate you the most! I can’t wait to see how Mrs. Bowie redeems you! I’d also love to see Mara’s story and how Tori’s story came about. I just want more and I’m hoping Emily Bowie will give it!

RELEASE DAY: Recklessly Forbidden by Emily Bowie

Recklessly Forbidden 

by Emily Bowie is now LIVE!

Growing up in the shadows of an all-star football player in a small town isn't easy. It's even harder when that legend is your older brother. Jewels Rogers always plays safe, preferring the shadows that allow her to go unnoticed. When scandal breaks and rumors spread, she leaves Three Rivers, planning to never return.

Sinfully sexy, Tyson Bennett gets through life easy. He's stellar at his job, loves playing on the dark side, and girls drop their panties when he looks their way. Except for the one girl he can’t stop thinking about. His natural charisma seems to disappear around the mysterious beauty who caught his eye.

When one of his infamous blackmail deals goes awry, Tyson realizes that maybe it isn't just the deal that is spiraling out of control but his life, too.

Will Tyson be able to win Jewels over and keep her safe before it's too late?

Will Jewels finally step out of the shadows and play the leading lady in her own life?

This is book two in the Bennett Brothers Series, it is told in dual POV, and has a HEA. Since characters do play recurring roles, reading book one in the series, Recklessly Mine, is recommended; however, it can be read as a standalone.

I was sooooo excited for Jewel’s story. The taste we got of her at the end of Recklessly Mine had me itching me it. And I loved Jewels!! She was fun, she was spunky, loyal, and loved her family. She left, no, she ran from Three Rivers years ago running from her problems. She returns when her brother needs her. I think that shows us who she is.

I really enjoyed Tyson. He’s quite a mystery. He tries so hard to come of cocky and full of himself. But Jewels makes his brain freeze. I like it when seeing someone makes you feel stupid. He diffidently didn’t know what to do with it. However, he has a similar personality as Jewels. He’s loyal to a fault and loves his family. That’s what I’ve gotten most from these books, family and friends mean everything!!

I’ve been following Emily Bowie for a while now and I’ve loved seeing her writing flourish. I love a romantic suspense book and she handles it nicely. I never feel like it’s too over the top. I like the secret society and can see groups like that, or similar, still existing. It’s a unique concept. I feel like we got to see another side of Bowie’s writing with Recklessly Forbidden. She unleashed bit more humor and I really enjoyed it. This book was a bit deeper than book 1 so I think the humor offset it perfectly.

I removed half a star because I wanted some more information on Jewels situation with her ex. I just feel like that was huge for her. She ran away from home, from him. He didn’t put up much of a fight. I just wanted more from that area. I’ll also add that I do beta read for Emily and did mention it. I know the ex isn’t where she wanted to take the story. I guess I just wanted closure on it or something.

I’m super excited for the next book, Recklessly Devoted, and I really hope enough years have passed so we can have some marriages and/or babies from the other couples. I love being able to catch up and see where their lives are now. I’m also really excited because I don’t know much about this next brother Brody. I can’t wait to see where else we go in Three Rivers.
