Review: Musical Love Story
Rating: 5 out of 5

I couldn't wait to dive into Reckless Abandon (RA) after the ending of 10 days. So I jumped on that "stage" right away!!We're left off in 10 days after Ember finds out that Bowan failed to inform her that he was aware who she was (from the fight he got into at the car shop). RA picks up at this point and provides us with both POVs throughout the book.The push and pull between Ember and Bowan is tense. The fluidity makes the story flow seamlessly. Ember continues to try to figure out what/who she wants. Adrian-meh-don't really care for him. Bowan-swoon, heart palpitations, dreamy eyes--yep it's all there. I have fallen in love with musical story within this book. Ember continues to explore her musical abilities in RA and it's heartbreakingly amazing. "Who do you sing for?"--love it!! I can just hear the sounds of Bo & Ember's voices in my head while reading the book & they take my breath away.  The character bonds are so strong in RA as they're supportive and realistic because they don't put up with each other's s***. Monica & Rae towards Ember: they're dedicated, blunt yet honest and try to assist Ember in pointing her to where her heart is telling her to go but is afraid to make the leap. There is a twist in RA I never saw coming (well who would) but holy crap did it make me bawl!! The emotional roller coaster of RA is a ride that I loved.  I will continue to stand in line to ride all of Andrea's roller coasters in the future. I hope Ember and Bo's story doesn't end here. Give Reckless Abandon a try!
