He was my brother’s best friend… but my brother was never the problem. Everything else was.

Sloan-

Have you ever felt such a pull to one person that you cannot control yourself around them? Just one mention of their name and a fire ignites deep within?

Well I, Sloan Barton, had that connection... with my brother’s best friend.

You see, I was in love with Wesley King long before I ever knew what love was. Always tagging along, admiring him from afar.

Until one day, he loved me back.

Except I found out he wasn’t mine first and because of that, I had no choice but to let him go.

Although I tried desperately and failed to fight the pull between us over the years, that wouldn’t be the last time we had to walk away from each other.

Wes-

I’ll never forget the moment I realized the sweet kid I grew up with had turned into the girl I couldn’t stop thinking about.

I fell hard.

Suddenly, she became all my hopes and dreams. Until life pulled us in different directions.

They say timing is everything, so when I see the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on sitting in my bar… I take that as my sign.

Maybe our stars have finally aligned.

“Always let that bright light of yours shine like all the stars in the sky my little Thea.”

Hands down, easily 5 stars across the board. The writing, plot, characters and spice were amazing. Jess and Lauren are a writing duo that just gets better and better.

Reckless Abandon is about Sloan and Wesley’s story. Sloan’s brother Eli is best friends’ with Wesley King. All of them grew up with each other and along the way Sloan started having romantic feelings towards her brother’s best friend. Wes didn’t realize the girl he took care of and watch grow up became everything he wanted and more. However, time was not on their side.

I loved Wesley and Sloan individually and as a couple. Wesley! I love that man. He was perfect!! He loved his girl, he was supportive, honest, loyal and a hard worker. Sloan was so confident and knew what she wanted out of life. She was goal- oriented and had so many aspirations I just loved seeing her dreams play out. Her passion project was so different and unique and I loved how Wesley was very supportive of her new career endeavor. I loved the side characters too. All them were very interesting and had different personalities that I’m even more intrigued for their stories.

“You’re all my dreams come true, my little Thea.”

L.A. Shaw makes me feel guilty. I fall in love with one Hero and then here they come with another one. Y'all. Wes. And the things he says!!! (I'm still a Greyson girl. I swear.)

I really enjoyed this book and each time I read it, I find something else to be charmed by.

Reckless Abandon is a brother's best friend romance, but honestly it's a story about how life, with no nefarious intentions, can just get in the way. The first summer after college Wes finally notices his best friend's younger sister, Sloan, but the circumstances of growing up keep them a part again and again. These two characters grow up together, root for each other and the chemistry is **chef's kiss**.

Aside from the lovely spice between Wes and Lo, we get introduced to a great supporting cast of characters (already here for the back and forth between Parker and Ava) and FINALLY the origins of that damn sex club. 😏

I won't say more about the plot, Brava to these romance readers turned writers. You've written a fun and sexy one.

I like the story, but was not a fan of the writing style or the dialogue between the characters. With that being said there were some great moments where story seemed to flow better, and there were a couple of cute moments involving get togethers with the family.

Wesley King! What more can I say! The mouth of this man will have you squirming in your seat, wishing you could pull him from the pages of this book into reality.
Wes and Lo share so many childhood memories, their families have been a big part of one another’s lives, going on vacations together, living by one another and celebrating holidays and life events together.
One summer, at the lake house has Wes and Lo falling for one another but life is messy and complicated, and never turns out the way you expect it.
Years, later fate (Quinn) would bring them back together, and Wes has no intentions of letting Lo walk out of his life, again. Even, tho they live on opposite sides of the country.
Will they be able to make long distance work or will their relationship go up in smoke, never being the right time?
“You’re my sun and moon, the brightest star in the sky on even the darkest of nights.”
Reckless Abandon, is a fast paced spicy romance that will have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation rooting for the characters to find their happily ever after.
“She not only sees inside my soul, she’s part of it.”
LA Shaw never disappoints, I know every time I pick up one of their books I am in for a treat. I am excited to dive into Eli and Quinn’s story to see where their journey takes me. I am sure it will be a wild one.

I loved this book! I loved the main characters. I loved the side characters. It was such a good, quick spicy read!

Wesley King & Sloan Barton are child hood friends who happened to take things to far one summer. But timing was never on their side for them for so many years.

Wesley and his mouth 🥵 he was so sweet one moment and then the most filthiest things would come out of his mouth the next!

Seriously do yourself a favor and go grab this book!!

This book felt very rushed and lack luster. The spice scenes were half spice, and the romance of the couple was very cheesey (not in a good way)

These two drove me crazy with their will they get together or won’t they!!! That is what kept me on the edge of my seat though. I needed them together. I needed them to get their happy ending. However, the journey was soooo fun to read for them to get there!!!

I love how these two have sooo much history. Their families are friends. They have known each other for years and Sloan has loved Wes that long. Took him sometime to see her, but when he finally does, absolutely amazing fireworks!!!

This was my first L.A. Shaw book and I can’t wait to read more!!!

I love angst and this has a bit of it.
Well written, great time transitions. The main couple has a nice story and I’m more than ready for Quinn & Eli’s story.

Maybe the only thing that I didn’t feel was the nickname of the heroine… it just didn’t seem natural. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A good read about two childhood friends while also a brothers best friends story. The H is devoted from the start and these is some angst but it is pretty low level. A good read! Looking forward to Eli and Quinn’s story.
