Wow! Beck and Jordan have had such a tumultuous journey. All the 360’s and 180’s they go through will have you on a wild ride. All the who’s , why’s, etc don’t matter when Beck and Jordan are going strong. I look forward to the final instalment in the series.
If you hadn’t fell in love with Beck before you read this book you definitely will now.
I found myself tearing up a few times while reading which is rare for me but you know when an author can make you cry this is a book you have to read.
There is a bit of a transition that Jordan goes through this book. You might think she’s making mistakes but in the end you will see she comes out stronger.
This is an incredible series so far and I can’t wait to read the final book.
Ali Dean does it again! Jordan and Beckett continue their journey in the skate boarding world. The pull toward each other keeps getting stronger and So does the public views. This is the 3rd book in the Brazen series and even tho there is one more book left, I think this series would MAKE A GREAT MOVIE!

Ali Dean for the win! I’ve never been a huge skater fan, but Jordan and Beck have converted me! Ali is so talented at bringing her readers into a world that they may know nothing about, but doing so in such a vivid and realistic way that you’re instantly sucked in. Following that huge cliff hanger from Brazen Steele, I wasn’t sure what my heart could take, but Brazen Girl ended in a good enough place for me to sleep at night, but still counting down the days til the next release!
Once again Ali Dean has made a amazing book. I have fallen in love with this series so much! This is the first series by Ali Dean and wont lie I truly love it.
I generally dislike cliffhangers but Ali Dean’s books are so wonderfully written that I suffer through them. A perfect example of this was the injury cliffhanger in Brazen Steele. I still gave that book 5 stars in my (separate) review of it but I’ve been aching for the sequel. Well, that sequel, Brazen Girl, is here and it’s definitely worth the wait. Jordan has a rocky path towards recovery, physically, mentally, and emotionally, but following along makes for one superb take that’s easy to highly recommend.
This is book three in the Brazen series which needs to be read in order as the story continues to develop and grow. This book flips the story on its end as Jordan crashes and suffers a major injury. It also leaves her wondering about herself as an athlete in the sport and her spot on Beckette Steele’s team. Wow, is all I got. This is a roller coaster of emotions story, including the tears. I cannot wait to read the ending of this amazing journey. Enjoy!

Brazen Girl picks up where Brazen Steele left off. Throughout this book we get to see how Jordan handles recovering from her accident. Through her recovery Jordan also goes through some personal growth and learns how to handle things including online bullying with the support of those around her. Along with personal growth both Jordan and Beck grew together in terms of their relationship and how to handle being in the public eye and the challenges that come with it. The ending of the book leaves you wanting more; however, it is not quite the cliffhanger that had us on edge in book 2. Looking forward to reading the final installment of this series this fall!
I enjoy living in the world of Ali Dean, but sometimes her characters get in the way. I 100% root for Jordan and Beck, and the other characters in the book for that matter, but there was a lot of time spent internally, waxing on about what-ifs and worries. It was the same in book 2, but the difference here is that there was some resolution to be had and there’s always satisfaction in that. Once again I wish there were more skateboarding (the first book in the series was the best at this), and while there was some, I continue to wait for those emotional internal monologues during competition (like the Pepper books were so great at), and they never quite came. I find myself wondering if Pepper was so special because Dean herself was a runner, and the emotion of competition has trouble translating to other sports. But okay, that’s all my complaining done. I think there are great messages in these books, about believing in yourself, how to handle online bullies, and the complexity of depression and pulling yourself out of it. Jordan is still very likable, even if she’s maybe a little too perfect (even though she goes through a log, she still comes off pretty squeaky clean, especially in the morality vein). Beck is a great book boyfriend, even if he also is a little too perfect on the boyfriend front. I will eagerly be tuning in to the next chapter, but perhaps with slightly lowered expectations, making it not so hard to live up to said expectations. My hope is that the personal drama was mostly resolved in Brazen Girl, so in book 4 perhaps we will finally get a satisfying conclusion for the plot and competition.

Brazen Girl
5 stars for Brazen Girl by Ali Dean. This is book 3 in the Brazen Series. Book two ended in a cliffhanger and this book picks up right after it. Jordan was in a bad crash at her competition. She is given devastating news. With not being able to skateboard she begins to turn away from everyone and everything even Beck. It seems Jordan is in a state of depression. Poor Beck, his heart is broken, but he is not going to give up on Jordan. He is what every man should be. I love his character. I could not put the book down. I needed to know what was to come of Beck and Jordan. What will their relationship become? “We all make mistakes. It’s how we handle them afterward that counts.” I am ready for book 4. I need to know what is next for all of these characters, not just Beck and Jordan.
I enjoyed this installment. The characters are well developed and engaging and continue to engage my attention. The flow of the storyline is well done.

After every book I have been in awe of Jordan, she is so strong! We get taken on her personal growth this time around. We get to see her stumble, hurt and fail. Beck is her constant and she finds what she needs in herself first, but in him as well. Jordan finds her confidence and she is now unstoppable. I cannot wait for the final book!

This was my favorite book so far in this series and we pick up where book 2 left off. Jordan’s injury is the tipping point for her and she needs to evaluate weather or not she can handle the pressure of being a well known skateboarder. The journey she goes through was tough to read about, but in the end it really did make her a stronger person. The same goes for Beck and they both realized that they can’t control what other people say or do. Jordan and Beck’s relationship in some ways comes full circle in this book because they both use the time that they are apart to evaluate what they both want out of there relationship. I can’t wait for book 4 in this series to come out and to see if Beck and Jordan get there happily ever after.

Exciting third installment of a riveting New Adult, sports-romance series
This novel is the third book in a four-book series. Reading these books sequentially is important in order to be able to experience the full benefit of the overarching story of the romance between 18-year-old Jordan, female skateboarding phenom, and 25-year-old Beck, a world-champion, professional skateboarder.
Book 2 ends with a cliffhanger, and this book picks up moments after the events of Book 2 conclude. Jordan has had a bad crash in a professional skateboarding competition due to a panic attack causing her to loose focus at a crucial moment. She is devastated when doctors inform her she should not get on a skateboard again for months so as to allow her body to fully heal. As a result of her injuries, most especially a concussion, and the long time needed to recover, Jordan is suffering both anxiety and depression. And this is on top of the traumatic stress she was already enduring before her wipeout as the girlfriend of Beck, a gorgeous skateboarding champion whom countless female fans adore.
In the midst of her emotional and physical pain and confusion, Jordan withdraws from her previously committed, loving relationship with Beck, and she pulls out of her contract to represent the Blaze skateboarding-gear company, which is a startup of Beck’s best friend, Griff, who himself retired from professional skateboarding a while back due to an career-ending injury. Jordan has no emotional strength left to endure being part of the high-profile and high-stakes lifestyle of Beck and Griff. All she wants to do now is drop out of her university, go home to live with her parents and, basically, hide from the world.
I raced through the pages of this novel in order to find out the answer to these compelling story questions:
Will Beck and Jordan get back together?
Will Jordan recover from the depression that is negatively impacting her self-esteem, her relationship with Beck and her skateboarding career?
Jordan has a difficult, but ultimately inspiring, personal-growth journey in this book. The story this time around is much more focused on her internal life than on exciting skateboarding scenes, which dominate the previous two books. But even so, Jordan continues to be a fascinating, sympathetic, inspirational, female protagonist.
Beck also remains a highly sympathetic romantic hero. He has integrity and compassion in spades, and is continually faithful to Jordan. He is not just a sexy lover, but a true friend and helpmate to her in her time of need.
In this book there is a continuing cast of wonderful subcharacters who are Jordan’s close friends and who are present throughout the series. Ms. Dean does a wonderful job creating fully realized, loving, loyal, female friends, in particular. They act as a positive, supportive family of affiliation to her.
I was rooting for Beck and Jordan as a couple and for Jordan’s future as a professional skateboarder all the way through to the satisfying, upbeat conclusion of this installment of the Brazen series. I look forward very much to reading the fourth and final book, Brazen Tricks. According to the author, this book will release September 12, 2020.
I rate this book as follows:
Heroine: 5 stars
Hero: 5 stars
Personal Growth Plot: 4 stars
Romance Plot: 4 stars
Skateboarding Plot: 4 stars
Subcharacters: 5 stars
Writing: 5 stars
Overall: 4.5 stars rounded to 5 stars

So this is the 3rd book in this Series! Ali Dean has hit it out of the park again! Jordan is perfect at being not perfect! She is as real as it gets. She is extremely authentic and I love how the author lets the reader just dive right into her train of thought. I absolutely love that she always has doubts but she always goes with her heart! I was really happy that no matter what Jordan did, Beck was always going to be in her life. He wanted to be that constant rock. My favorite parts were when all her friends that she has met over the series, had her back and were extremely supportive in her decisions. I can’t wait till September when I finally get to see what is in store for Jordan’s career and Beck’s stalkers!

ARC review. Brazen Girl is the third in this skateboarding series by Ali Dean. As usual Ali doesn’t disappoint! Jordan continues to grow as a person and skateboarder. She is coming into her own as she makes life changing decisions. Go Girl! I can’t wait for the conclusion to see if Jordan and Beck get their HEA.
Amazing book! The story line and characters kept my interest. The chemistry was hot and you could feel the true love they have. It’s a must read!

I was so excited when this book dropped in my kindle, that I read the whole book in 1 day! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time reading and let me tell you Ali Dean has written another fantastic book!u2063

When Brazen Steele ended with Jordan getting hurt I really didn’t know what was going to happen to Jordan and how Beck was going to handle what had happened. The amount of stuff that Jordan has to deal with just because she is a female, great skateboarder, and is dating Beckett is crazy but at the same time this is all stuff that is so real. u2063
u2063
You definitely don’t want to miss what Jordan goes through on her way to recovery and what decision Beckett makes on reality tv show! If you haven’t started this series yet you definitely want to dive into Brazen Rush because you are definitely going to fall in love with Jordan and Beckett just like I did!! u2063

Brazen Girl is book 3 in the Brazen series. It should be read after reading book 1 and 2. With the way book 2 ended, I knew we were in for ride in this one but I didn’t know how bumpy and emotional the ride would be. Jordan has always been a strong girl and in this one she battling some things that way heavy on her. Beck is a great guy. He’s patient and sweet. He pushes Jordan when she needs a little nudge but is also totally understanding of what she’s going through. This one is a great read and if you read the first three you definitely want to pick this one up.
4 1/2 Stars!
I freaking loved it! So much more than the first two books! I feel like I connected better with the characters.
I’m so dang proud of Jordan! Ali Dean was able to make me feel like I was going on her journey with Jordan. I love who she’s becoming!
And then there’s Beck. He was so swoon worthy in Brazen Girl!
I cannot wait for Brazen Tricks!
