Blog Tour+Review: Pretty Reckless by L.J. Shen

Review:

I couldn’t wait to read this book because I loved Jaime and Melody in Defy. I couldn’t wait to read about their daughter. I loved Daria in this story. She was who she was and made NO apologies. Didn’t justify her behavior because she knew what she was doing wrong but did it anyway. Not too many people can admit faults especially at her age.

Penn. Oh how I loved me some Penn in this novel. He was dealt a crappy hand and I loved how he did the best he could to not become a product of his environment. Penn amazed me with how patient and caring he was with Daria when half the time I knew he wanted to shake some sense into her. I loved how he was her shoulder to lean on and saw through the hulk. I loved the passion, the lust, the hate, chemistry and tension between Penn and Daria. You could feel it oozing off the pages.

Now as much as I loved Jaime and Melody I did question their parenting at times. I won’t go into detail as I don’t want to spoil any thing but I did yell at them through my kindle.

I have read several book by LJ Shen and this was such an emotional and angst filled read. The writing was good, the story line held my attention. The characters sucked me in from the very first chapter. I have to say this book will make your heart race. Just when I thought everything was going to be good the rug was pulled right from under me. Talk about torture. I don’t know how I will survive the rest of the series but I’m sure looking forward to reading!
