This is Reckless by Kennedy Fox | Review!
Synopsis:
Drew Fisher is the type of guy every girl wants.
Noble police officer by day, charming prince by night.
He has no idea the effect he has on women, especially me-- his little sister's best friend.
I'm the blonde Southern belle who lives up to the cliche, except I have my own quirks. I'm smart as a whip, can change my own oil, and recite The Pledge of Allegiance backward, but he doesn't see that girl.
It'd be easier to forget him if he wasn't my roommate and if the first thing I saw in the morning wasn't his shirtless body covered in tattoos. I've crushed on him since the day we met, but he's made it perfectly clear where we stand. Just friends.
I know I need to move on and accept that his feelings will never be mutual, but every day he smiles at me, I'm dreaming of what if.
He has girl issues, and I've got a crush I can't deny.
We're friends, but I want more.
One drunken hookup leaves us with much more than a platonic friendship. Pretending it never happened proves to be more difficult than anticipated.
A crazy ex-girlfriend, a dangerous war of stolen glances, and passionate kisses leads to the most reckless battle yet. I won't be a pawn in his game, but I'll play by his rules if it will show him I'm the one worth breaking them for.
Checkmate, Prince Charming.

This is War | This is Love
"I wrap both arms around her, fist the bottom of the material in both hands and pull as fast as I can. It finally rips apart, and as it falls off her body, her breasts are completely exposed. I inhale sharply, unable to control myself any longer. She's fucking beautiful."
Reckless starts off with a serious bang. At the end of This is Love, we all think Drew is NEVER going to get over Mia and we all start to lose hope on him ever really seeing Courtney for who she is and how she feels about him. But then things start to change, and seeing the change in Drew is amazing!
"Collapsing on top of the mattress with her underneath me, it takes me a moment to really wrap my brain around the fact that Courtney, my best friend and roommate, is naked and in my bed. I feel like an adolescent again--nervous and overwhelmed. She's absolutely beautiful as her hair sprawls over my pillows and her body shivers on contact."
I seriously fell in love with these two characters! As much as I love Travis and Viola, I feel a little closer to Drew and Courtney because they remind me of me and my husband and how our relationship started. Courtney loves to bake, I love to bake, my husband doesn't have a big sweet tooth like Drew but when he gets the craving, he will indulge himself. These characters and book won me over big time. I loved watching how Drew's vision of Courtney changes, I think that's the best part of it all for me. Plus, Mia is not a good person! She is a big B*&$h!
"'God, Court... where have you been all my life?' She pulls back and looks up at me. I run my fingers through her wet hair and rest my palm against her cheek. Moving in closer, she speaks against my lips before I can kiss her. 'I've been waiting for you.'"
One of the things I LOVE about Kennedy Fox is that you still read for her previous characters. We get to read and keep up to date on what's going on with Travis and Viola. I love reading about them and seeing what they are up to. They are a big part of Drew and Courtney and their existence. Best friends will always be there for you.
"Hey, new marketing idea! The Universal Beau. Keep your paperbacks and sex toys safe wherever you go! Or Bullet Beau. Storing your vibrating bullets since 2017."
As time goes on, Drew and Courtney become inseparable. Drew's eyes finally open up to Courtney, he finally sees her and it's like a miracle when it happens. My heart aches for them. I want them together and happy but lets just say, this wouldn't be a good story without some flipping drama and let me tell you, the drama is brought to the table, ten fold! One, simple name, MIA! She is like a cockroach that won't die! She keeps making her way back, even when she isn't wanted.
The end of this book ripped my heart out, it does leave on a cliffhanger, but don't worry, This is Effortless, the conclusion to Drew and Courtney's story releases April. 25th! Let's just say, shit is going to hit the fan!
5 Foxy Owls!
