I love you too much to hate you…
Angelica Treviño was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen.
I wanted to make her smile, but I had no idea when she did, she’d steal my heart.
Sunset eyes, waves of golden-brown hair, cute little butt…
I’m ready to meet the family and put a ring on it.
Instead, I’m on the wrong end of a gun, her older brother threatening to kill me.
It all started with a kiss…
Deacon Dring is a cocky rich boy with ocean-blue eyes, sexy brown hair, and a chiseled body.
Soft lips that melt my knees, that melt everything.
As a child, my family said he was bad.
They made me promise never to see him again.
But one touch of his hand, one reckless kiss, and I broke that vow…
Many times.
Now we’re adults, and the price of lying is more than I’m willing to pay.
They say we can’t be together. I say try and stop us.
How is it possible to love someone this much? To need her so fiercely, it’s an actual, physical pain?
ARC REVIEW ➞
I love modern day retellings of classics and Reckless Kiss is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet.
From the moment Angel and Deacon met they were drawn to each other, even despite the warnings from her family Angel wanted to be with him. Their story spanned the course of years, it was secret and forbidden. Angel and Deacon form a family of their own. They fight for their love, even if it means hurting their families.
I loved how Deacon was willing to fight for Angel and their relationship. He is sweet and I love the fact that he never once gives up on them. He spends his time finding out what happened years ago between their families in hopes that it can mean they have a future. I loved Angel’s commitment to their relationship. That she isn’t afraid to stand up for him in front of her family. I loved their relationship, their connection and the fact that never once let the past history of their families hurt them.
There are also some issues that are brought up in this book that are very relevant to the world today when it comes to Angel and her family. I love that Angel stands up for herself when these are brought up, but also the fact that Deacon stands up for her.
If you’re looking for a modern day retelling of Romeo & Juliet that is sweet and has some drama Reckless Kiss is a MUST READ!
