The Reckless Series by Gina Robinson

Buy this series now on Amazon: Link

So I got the first book in this series (Reckless Longing) for free on Amazon (it’s still free so check that out) and it was good enough that I kept reading but also annoyed me at the same time. I have to say that it was intriguing enough to make me pick up the other two books in the series just because I needed to see how it ended. 

I understand we are dealing young college students here but half the time I was just so annoyed by the immature things that were being done or said by one of the characters. The biggest redeeming quality in this book was the side character Dex. If a book was written about him I would pick it up without a doubt. He brought some humor to the story that was very much appreciated. 

2.5 out of 5 stars. If you happen to run across it I wouldn’t tell you not to bother but I can’t tell you to run out and buy the series either.  

Description

Reckless Longing
Book One
Ellie
My mom betrayed me in the worst way possible. I can't forgive her, but I can outwit her. I'm going to unravel the family secret she's been keeping from me my whole life. So I'm going to college across the state from her, to the place that has the answers. I hope. But I have to be careful or I'll blow everything. I can't tell anyone what I'm doing.
I didn't mean to fall in love. I can't afford to give my heart away or open up to anyone, least of all charming, rich, former bad boy baseball star Logan Walker. But he looked so adorable sitting there nursing a black eye the night I met him at my very first campus event. The way he held my hand made me flush in the suffocating heat of August and feel really beautiful for the first time in so long I can't remember. My scar didn't even hurt.
But Logan's moods are mercurial. He's keeping secrets of his own that are too dark to share, even with me. We agree to be just friends. But our hearts and bodies have minds of their own. Before I know it, I'm in too deep with him and the answer to the family secret I came to campus to find may be the thing that tears us apart.
Reckless Secrets
Book Two
The engaging continuation of Ellie and Logan's love story that began on a hot August night in Reckless Longing...
Ellie
My bitch of a mother kept a family secret from me for nineteen years. I outsmarted her and found out what it is. Now I should be deliriously happy. I am happy. Except…I have to keep it from Logan. At the same time, I know I should tell him. If he finds out by accident, he'll hate me and feel betrayed. But it's complicated and I have to wait until things fall into place or it will cause problems for my newly found dad.
And Logan is wrestling with his own demons. Because of me. Dex and I just meant to prank our hideous chem prof. We didn't mean to hurt anyone, least of all Logan. If I'd known it would expose his secret, I never would have done it. I love him so much. I can't lose him. I won't. I just hope he can forgive me.
Reckless Together
Book Three
The stunning conclusion of Ellie and Logan's love story that began on a hot August night in Reckless Longing and continued through the depths of winter in Reckless Secrets...
Ellie
My mother is a liar, a seductress, a keeper of family secrets, and a master manipulator. She took Austin from me. Now she claims she wants forgiveness. But she's after Logan. I know she is. He thinks he can protect me from her. I love him for trying, for playing hero, but he doesn't know her like I do. She'll charm him until he lets his guard down and then she'll strike so quickly he'll never see the attack coming. I may already be too late to stop it.
Logan's love is essential to me, like sunshine and deep nurturing breaths. He's my all. I can't live without him. But there's so much standing in the way of our happiness. As dangerous as she is, Mom is the least of my worries. I'm fighting the darkness Logan is struggling with, the upcoming trial, his family, and sometimes I even think I'm fighting a phantom of myself. But I won't give up. Ever.
Logan
I wish I could make El understand how much I love her, but I'm losing control. She makes me lose control.
