Reckless Abandon is the second book in the November Blue series.  You really do have to read Ten Days of Perfect to follow along, as Reckless Abandon picks up right where Ten Days of Perfect left off.As you may already know by now, I liked Ten Days of Perfect (which left me wanting more of the story)....you will get that MORE in Reckless Abandon.  BUT, I really liked/loved reading Reckless Abandon more, as this was Andrea's second novel and there was not only growth in her writing from Ten Days, but she had me very invested in the characters which led me to writing her to say "What the....Why.....Seriously.....and OMG you are KILLING ME"!  This book brought out emotions in me that I did not realize I had for these characters!  As I told Andrea if I was not reading this book in PUBLIC, I probably would have been a crying fool!  I wish I was alone while reading so that I could have let the book take the full effect of my emotions L....but you read when you can read!PLEASE NOTE:  At all costs, avoid any spoilers of this book - because some tend to give you spoilers and I would REALLY recommend and hope that you get to them on your own, as it changes your reading experience.  I want you to read and feel how I felt when I read particular scenes.Let me start off asking you....after reading Ten Days of Perfect......Team Bo or Team Adrian?  Then let's ask and answer that same question after you read Reckless Abandon!  So, does this spoil anything for you?  I sure hope not!The answer to the burning question most of you had after reading Ten Days of Perfect is.......YES! We are getting more Bo!  However, you have to read to find out if you are getting exactly what you asked for!For all you Team Adrian ladies, you will get plenty of Adrian to get your fix.  I am Team Bo, I am not ashamed to say.....there were times I was not happy about how things were being played out with Adrian...that is putting it mildly....but holy Adrian! I get the appeal.....and I do feel guilty for not feeling more Team Adrian....because he does not deserve all "my" anger towards him.  If Bo was never in the picture I would totally be on the Adrian Team!  Being I am a sucker for the whole love at first sight/soul mate thing that we were presented with in Ten Days (even though some tend to find that far-fetched and are not believers...and I agree that in some books it is totally overdone.... BUT I am a believer, not to say that you realize that person is your soul mate at that time necessarily, BUT when I saw my husband for the first time I did say "I am going to marry that guy".  I cannot deny the pull I had to him at that moment or that the whole Romeo & Juliet story we lived was not intense, but we did and do have to work at it every day.As for the rest of the characters in this series, you will certainly get more Monica and Josh, Raven and Ashby, Rachel, C.J. and in comes REGAN, what's not to love about this character - you will have to let me know what you think of him ;-)So, why are you still reading my review.....go get reading these books and then come chat with me at Brandee's Book Endings!
