Reckless Behavior Kindle Edition

by JJ Harper (Author), JC Clarke (Illustrator), Petra Howard (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 215 ratings
Framed and imprisoned at eighteen, six years later Santiago ”Santo” Valentine is not the frightened teen he once was. Taught by Master Salvatore Moretti, and with walking papers in hand, Santo is determined to turn the family name around and distance it from the drugs and prostitution his father’s legacy is built on.
Santo seeks revenge on his father, the man who framed him, and the whereabouts of his younger brother, Luca.
When he finds him, in the worst place a child could ever be—a children’s home simply known as “The Pound,” where unwanted children disappear—Luca has a friend he refuses to leave behind.
At the first sight of Ezra’s brilliant, ice-blue eyes, something shifts in Santo, and he knows he has to help this boy, too.

Ezra, dumped at The Pound when he was barely eleven years old, takes one look at Santo and knows his heart is lost. He also knows he has no chance with him. He might be seventeen, but he’s nothing more than Santo’s little brother’s best friend.
After a massive error in judgment, Ezra runs, obliterating all trace of him.
Santo, sent to investigate a dancer for his club six years later, crosses paths with Ezra. Santo’s reckless behavior shocks them both and leaves them stumbling to trust their hearts.
***
This is a gay romance with BDSM scenes and lots of men-on-men action. Due to sexual content, it is advised that readers are 18 and over.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

You will normally find JJ in the living room—typing away—with her dog, Siddiqi. As a hopeless romantic, she dives into her stories, always falling in love with her men, making sure they get the happy ever after they deserve, even if they do have to work hard for it.

As a bona fide bookaholic, a wine-drinking and swear-like-a-sailor type of girl, she has yet to work out how to act her age!! LOL. And she has no intentions of growing up or growing old gracefully.

JJ lives in a small, very quiet, village in Lincolnshire, UK, with her husband and dog, and spends all day dreaming up stories full of really hot men.

    Reckless Behaviour, is for me, a new book style from this author. I loved the writing style, the plot and all the characters!

    Part one, is filled with dark action, heartbreaking feelings and heated kinky scenes.
    Part two, is filled with hot and steamy scenes, and lots of heartwarming feelings.

    Reckless Behaviour is a fast-paced read. A really enjoyable read, I loved the chemistry between Ezra and Santo!
    But I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending.. I was left with a few questions. What about his dancing? What about his past?

    3.0 out of 5 stars Frustratingly boring, such potential just not met
    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019
    The author tried so hard to make the main character this big badass, but fell woefully short. The correct elements of BDSM were there... but no heat, no real arousal to it. Santos never even noticed Ezra at 17 but then he sees him six years later and tries to rewrite history. I finally had enough at about 75%. There were some really good parts of the book, like when he rescued Ezra from the club, but that was about it. I made it 3/4 through the book, so 3 stars.

    Hot and sultry reading is on offer between the pages of Reckless Behavior. The main characters were a great contrast and offered interesting dimensions to their relationship. While the main couple spent the majority of time a part, always a little odd for a romance, their connection was believable.

    There were some plot elements that had me scratching my head, but when I pushed myself to look past them, I was able to enjoy this book for the sexy escapism it offers.

    Liked part 1. Hated part 2. Ezra is such a spoiled, entitled, self-centered drama queen that he doesnt deserve anything he has been given. And it's a lot. He never apologizes for his completely jerk-like behavior and uses the feeblest of excuses to push the best man he'll ever have away and blame anybody but himself. And still people hes wronged forgive him without a word. Completely destroyed believability and interest for me.

    Reckless Behavior (ARC) was graciously provided to me by the author for an honest review.

    WOW..WOW..WOW...what an absolutely incredible, heart-breaking, heart-warming, breath-taking, beautiful story I have just had the opportunity in reading. This upcoming release is one of the best books I have ever encountered..EVER. I am floored beyond belief. This book grabbed me immediately with its heart-crushing moments, kept me eagerly in tune with it's incredible characters, and, comforted me greatly with it's heart-warming moments as well. I loved being immersed with these characters and their gripping story, and, much as it had affected me, I did not want it to end.

    Reckless Behavior by JJ Harper, with it's stunning and appropriate title, was one of the best stories I have ever read. It was one of those stories that flowed effortlessly as the storyline allowed me to quickly become addicted to its plot and its characters, as I found myself going through every-single-emotion as I desperately read through the story. I was anxious for more as I read, and, even though it was a welcomed deep and well-developed lengthy plot, I had wished it was spread out into two books, thereby allowing me additional time to read.

    This is a story that I went into blindly, and, as this was the first time that I had read anything by this author, I am more than glad that I did. It does contain, without-a-doubt, many difficult-to-read moments, as I will call them triggers, and, I found myself absolutely beside myself while reading them. Even though they were very difficult to read, I do wholeheartedly recommend pressing through these moments, as there are many wonderful moments right around the bend.

    Many of these wonderful moments came from the excellently-written characters. Gah..I adored many of them, others I loved, and, while I found it somewhat of a challenge to really understand some of them in part, they wound up growing on me and I ultimately loved them immensely as well. And, some of them..shocked me. Two such characters who wiggled their way into my heart were the main characters, Ezra and Santo. These extraordinary individuals blew-me-away with their dedication, inner-strength, and, devotion. Their background and development was indescribably gripping as well as breathtakingly beautiful.

    Even though I may not have been completely on board with some parts of the storyline, and, despite not really knowing its setting, as a whole, Reckless Behavior is one incredible story. I am so very glad I read it....:)

    Wes Evans wants to prove himself worthy on Broadway. That means not depending on his parents money or stellar reputation as one of the top production companies in New York. Wes is having to deal with "issues" thatthreaten to shut him down before he even starts. His lead ballerina quits at the last minute and he has to cope with nasty reviews from a new app called Bad Bachelors. They are notorious for destroying men's careers and personal lives.

    By chance he witnesses a stunning performance by a gifted ballerina named Remi Drysdale. Wes has a gift and a keen eye for talent and he knows immediately that she is the one for his production. Remi fled Australiato New York after a chain of tragic events that left her devastated and insecure about her capability to continue to be a ballerina. Remi agrees to an audition for Wes and she gets the job. She makes it crystal clear that she does not want to mix businesswith pleasure. Nothing goes as planned and they both have mutual attraction for each other. One thing leads to another and complications arise.

    This story is smart and cheeky. Everything a romance should be. Well done Stefanie London, another wonderful adventure. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

    A 3.5 star. This started well and I was really enjoying the story but somehow it just fizzled out. Promising storylines disappeared and we were left with a low/no angst romance. Enzo was pettt, annoying and selfish. Santo possibly deserved better. I will call it a HFN ending as I cannot see it lasting.
