Reckless Lies (Rebels of Sandland Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 227 ratings

They say when you die, your whole life plays over in your mind like a Hallmark movie. A rose-tinted reflection to remind you what a great life you’ve led.

But for me, that wasn’t the case.

There was no romantic, nostalgic ending for me.

All I had was pain, darkness, and despair on the day I died, dragged by fire into the depths of hell. That’s where I live now. A shadow of the man I used to be. A ghost living in my former life.

Life goes on, but not for me.

She burst into my world with her smiles and her sledgehammer, ready to smash down my walls. She thinks she can save me, but she won’t. I don’t want to be saved. But I’ll play along. After all, that’s all I have left now, a life of pretend and a world of lies, where I play the role they want me to play.

Zak Atwood.
Son.
Brother.
Friend.
But boyfriend?
That’s never going to happen.
How can I live that life when all I feel is dead inside?

Reckless Lies is book four in the Rebels of Sandland series.
There are scenes of a sexual nature in this story, therefore it is intended for readers of 18+ years. Please take note of the trigger warnings listed at the beginning of this book.

Absolutely love Zak
These entire series had me and with each book it drew me in. I feel for each one of the guys after reading their story and I knew Zak wouldn’t be any different. Nikki J Summers does a wonderful job of making you fall for the MMC and after learning about Zak and the things he had to deal with during this. It made so much sense why he was he way he is. In the other books I figured he would be my least favorite but I couldn’t help but fall for him. Morgan is a great FMC. Nikki does a great job with her FMC as well you can feel for them and having to find themselves and find who they are with the guys. Morgan had to deal with a lot in her life because of the situation with her father. I love how all the characters are connected in the books. The two of them together is amazing. They both are there for each when they need someone. This one was definitely one of my favorites. I loved Finns story thought he would be my favorite but Zak stole my heart. ARC Review

    Plot 5✨ (only because that is the highest, I can give but it's off the charts)
    *Spice is left off on purpose, while the spice was amazing and Zak ticks off many tropes in the bedroom the plot was so good that the spice took the back seat for me at least. *

    It feels like I've been waiting for Zak's book forever that I built it up so high in my mind, but Nikki had no trouble not only reaching it but blowing past all my expectations. I'm not going to sugar coat it you need all the tissues you can find but don't let that stop you from reading. This story is one of hope, strength, determination, love, and overcoming the obstacles life throws at you.

    The way Zak's girl, (not spoiling that) tried effortlessly to pull him from the darkness that he surrounded himself with while battling her own demons was so amazing (that word doesn't describe it but it's all I got right now) Watching Zak go from seeing himself as a victim, someone that wasn't worthy of any love from her, his family or even his friends was heartbreaking but so satisfying at the same time.

    Nikki is a master at keeping us guess trying to figure out all the little secrets and she delivered that even more so in this story. Seeing as this book is set five years into the future, I LOVED seeing the little sneak peaks into everyone's life, Rebels and Soldiers alike. My little heart who loves both groups of guys got everything it wanted out of this book and more.

    While I'm so sad that this book is the end of the Rebels of Sandland, and I'm not crying while writing this you are, I'm so thankful to have been along for the ride with each of them. Their stories are the ones I turn to in dark times because they make me believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, especially my poor scarred Zak.

    4/5 ⭐️ 4/5 🌶⁣

    ☀️ This was my 1st book by Nikki and I loved every second. Yes, I know this is the fourth book in the series. It should come as no surprise to people who read my reviews. I tend to read things out of order because I didn’t realize it was a series. This book was the perfect new adult contemporary romance. It was funny, sweet, steamy and emotional. It allowed you to see what it’s like to struggle with body image and depression, which I always thoroughly enjoy. ⁣

    ☀️ Morgan was tenacious and to be frank, ballsy. I am going to manifest her attitude She refused to ever back down. She was pushy and knew how to get him out of his comfort zone but also knew when to back off when it was too much for him. She was selfless, funny, bold and everything Zak needed. Zak’s character development was immaculate! I loved that he was the one with the body image problems. It’s refreshing to read about a man who doesn’t think he walks on water. Watching their relationship with each other and themselves was amazing.⁣

    ☀️ I knew this was going to be emotional because of what he had gone through, but I wasn’t prepared for how emotional I would actually feel. I knew Morgan was hiding things, but my goodness it was the last thing I expected. Definitely not where I thought her story would lead. This book made my heart feel squishy and full. Thank you so much for the arc! I can’t wait to read the other books like I should have already done. @nikkijsummersauthor

    If you remember the way Zak was in all the other Sandland books, well the fire really did mess him up. The way that Nikki writes Zak's story is amazing. The two souls that you wouldn't think belong together do. To learn of Morgan's past hurts you deep,to see Zak's present does as well, but the fire they have together will be amazing. There is laughter, pain, confrontation, secrets, healing and love throughout the entire story. Get tissues out cause you are definitely going to need them, but this is a must read!!!

    Beautiful end to the series. I was surprised by Morgan, she is a complex character that compells you to unravel her secrets. It's exactly what Zak needs. I loved how the roles turned around at the end, poetic! I expected it to be darker if I'm honest, it's more dramatic than dark, that's ok though. It's a sweet story about overcoming traumas and loving ourselves.

    Reviewed in Italy on May 11, 2023
    This was a good story albeit not as emotionally engaging as I was expecting. The execution is good but I couldn’t find a connection with the characters. I felt Zak’s arc from victim to healing was too short and sudden. He claimed he didn’t want any relationship with Morgan yet went from zero to 100 in the span of a few pages.

    He's this guy who's struggling so hard and doesn't believe someone can fall in love with him after what happened to him. But someone will and it's not the fmc. It is me!!!

    I didn’t think I could love a Sandland man any harder then I already did but Nikki once again proved me wrong.

    Zak & Morgan’s story is beautifully painful and raw but worth every second. You won’t be disappointed in this pair who quickly become my favourite of the series!
