Wanting Reed is a great follow up to Breaking Elle, and if you haven’t read that one yet, I suggest you get on that before continuing this review, or beginning Wanting Reed.This sequel picks up right where Breaking Elle ended, I loved that. Reed was left with trouble on his doorstep. Having to leave to tie up some loose ends cost him dearly. While Reed was away, Elle had no clue what was going on and so, she moved on. Reed manages to get way more than her bargained for and getting his life together, becomes that much harder. But, his family sticks by him and we see just how much his family means to him. We’re offered a completely new side of him, one that will make you love him even more.Elle’s relationship with Tyler really heats up in this book. Even though the readers, and him, know she’s still completely in love with Reed. Tyler being the best friend, knows how to push her buttons, and which ones to push to get precisely the reaction he hopes for. This would be the reason I really, really wanted to punch him in the face. With Elle’s confusion over what she wants and trying to make a decision, I may (or may not have) felt a slight stirring of empathy for the poor guy. Would Tyler be the better choice in my opinion? Quite possibly, they’ve been best friends forever and his loyalty is astounding. But, I know Reed is where she truly wants to be. She just needs to stop thinking for a moment, and just feel! Their relationship has me fanning myself on more than one occasion, it’s hot, explosive, passionate. Of course they have problems! If they didn’t have problems….I would have problems with that!But, when things finally start looking up, somewhat in Reed’s favor, it goes from bad to worse. Now he has to convince Elle, that she is his one and only. But, a broken heart doesn’t always mend that easily. Will Elle grant Reed another chance or will she decide to stop taking risks, and have her safety net?I loved this sequel, while I found it wordy in some areas it was a delicious read! There were quite a few supporting characters, new and old, that I really hope the author will decide to do a spin off about or something! They were perfectly written that without them, Wanting Reed would not have been the success it was. If you liked Breaking Elle, I highly suggest you read Wanting Reed. You don’t want to miss out on this one.
