Beckett Steele knows what he wants and he’s finally going after it. But there’s one thing that might complicate his mission. It was easy to sign the legally-binding contract prohibiting a public relationship when he had no intention of falling in love. He agreed to participate in a reality television show in order to help promote his best friend’s new skateboarding company, but that was before he … he met Jordan Slattery. Now, he’s realizing that signing that contract might be the biggest regret of his life.

I can not believe how much I love Jordan and Beck; I am so invested in their story. I think one of the things I am loving most is how awesome Jordan is as an up and coming athlete and how Beck just gets her. His devotion to her and her career is so endearing. Together as a couple, I like to think they can get through anything, but I am dying to see what happens next after the cliffhanger this book ends on.
I did not want this book to end, I even tried to slow down reading so I could savor the story more, but it was too good to put down! I am amazed at how Ali can keep creating all these strong, independent women with guys who I actually feel are worthy of their love. Ali is so great at creating a love for a different sport in every story. I can actually feel like I am with the crew at the skate parks.
I am so looking forward to the next two books, I am so in love with their relationship and can’t wait to see what happens next!
This book pulled me in and kept me entranced till the end. The feelings of love, hate, and pain coming out in waves making you want to cry while you read. This was such a beautiful book! I loved the characters wholesomeness!

Beckett and Jordan is one of my favorite relationships that I have read! Ali Dean knows how to write strong independent characters. I love that Jordan does her own thing. Some of my favorite characters in this series are the 2 little sisters. They are so Confident and tell it how it is.
This is a great follow in this series. We find out what Beckett chooses. He chooses Jordan now, and she accepts however they still have a lot to endure. One, Beckett will be leaving to do Shred Live and under contract to remain single. Jordan is working with Griffin to get his label off the ground. Jordan and Beckett are trying to keep their relationship secret. Can they do it? Since she works close to Griffin there is speculation of a relationship there. Then photos are found with her and Beckett. Can she handle the pressure? She is strong willed to think that she can stay in her bubble. She is getting messages from people about her relationship status. What will she do? What is going to happen? That ending had me screaming. I need to know what is going to happen. Can they make it through the next year. Now we wait to find out.

I would highly recommend reading book 1 in this series before reading this one. This book picks up where the first book left off. Beckett finally realizes his feeling for Jordan and looks everywhere for her at the party and he is hoping that he isn’t to late. Jordan agrees to give Beckett another chance. There relationship has to be secret though because of the contract that Beckett signed for the TV show that he agreed to be on. Jordan’s sudden fame in the skateboarding world is starting to take its toll on her and she doesn’t know who she can trust. Jordan and Beckett are really sweet together and the moments that they have at the skate park are really cute. Loved this book and you will too. Just a fair warning that this book does end a cliff….

I am DYING for the next book! Please let it come soon. This was a phenomenal book #2 for Brazen with developing characters and a thickening plot. In this story, Jordan is continuing to develop her own skateboarding career while balancing a relationship, friends, and school. It’s easy to see her anxiety developing as the story goes on, and I can’t wait to find out how all of this plays out after such an emotional cliff-hanger. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting!
Beck and Jordan’s relationship is very new but complicated. They are happy together but they can’t stay in their private bubble and some dangerous things are threatening them

This is the second book of the series and I Was not disappointed. It picks up right where the first one left off with Beck deciding that he wants to be with Jordan.
In this book Jordan need to figure out how to navigate a relationship with the highly profiled Beck and also how to the handle her own rise in the skateboarding world. Book 2 deals with navigating a new relationship, friendships, and the effects of social media and online bullying. Once again Ali Dean spent the time to research not only the sport she is writing about, but also the trials and tribulations they could go through to create a fantastic book. This is a must read and my new favorite series from Ali Dean.
The Brazen series is starting to become one of my favourite series!
Brazen Steele picks up right where Brazen Rush left us. We finally get to see Jordan and Beck as a couple and the struggles they have to go through with the contract for Shred Live looming over them.
Beckett Steele! swooooooon. That guy just gives you all the feels! The relationship between Beck and Jordan is so beautiful and their story makes your heart burst with happiness.
The thing I love about this series is that it’s not over the top with the drama and it highlights real issues that many people go through. The main one being social media and how it affects us.
This is an amazing series! Not only do I love the storyline but the characters are all so loveable! Some of the moments were so funny they had me laughing out loud and not just that, but Ali Dean has a way of writing with so much emotion, it bleeds from the pages making you feel everything! But one thing is for sure, I fell madly in love with Jordan and Beck!
That cliffhanger ending though!!! Dying!!! Need book 3 asap!!!
I was anxiously awaiting the second in the Brazen series, it too incorporates the world of skateboarding and the suspense and dedication that it takes to be a top competitor. Brazen Steele spins the skateboarding world where Griffin Perry makes lemonade out of lemons and markets Brazen, his upstart company that sells skateboarding products. Jordan Slattery is a college student seeking an experience that is guided by her love of skateboarding in a town that has truly competitive courses throughout the town that draws the best of the best there too. Jordan is recorded doing spectacular tricks, where unbeknownst to her she becomes a media sensation after the video is posted to numerous social networking sites. Griffin offers Jordan a sponsorship backed by Brazen where Jordan enters a new world of competition. A legend in men’s skateboarding world, Beck Steele finds an injured Jordan and the love story begins. The story incorporates all of today’s technology that is needed to succeed in competition and in marketing a new company. This technology however can impede a public relationship and challenge the savviest of players. Ms. Dean has done a terrific job of incorporating the angst and frustration with today’s social networking options where threats go unhindered hiding behind the cover of anonymity. I’m truly looking forward to the next in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Jordan and Beck are 100% adorable! I loved Jordan in Brazen Rush, because really, how could you not? But you get in her head so much more with this one. And you love her even more. And Beck. That boy in love has got to be the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. That ending. I was ready for a cliffhanger but I was not ready for it when it got there. Such a great series! I cant wait for the rest!
Brazen Steele was a gripping second installment in Ali’s new Brazen series, the first one introduced us to all our new favorite characters and left us on a clifffhanger wondering what would happen to the romantic leads. This book left no time jumping in immediately where book one left off and giving us what would normally be a happy ending. But not in one of Ali Dean’s books, oh no. She is terrific at making the romances real, in that even once the leads are together, they still have to face the everyday obstacles, such as exes, jobs, and maybe even a stalker or two. This book delved deeper into Beck and Jordan’s professional lives, adding a nice taste of ambitious competitiveness to her romantic entanglements. We also got a worrisome side plot involving one of the best friends, which made the book more than just a romance one. It was, of course, great but did end on a cliffhanger, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself shouting “what? No!” At the end. Also don’t start this book at bedtime, because it’ll keep you up reading until it’s all finished.
I was so excited to read Brazen Steele after I got finished with Brazen Rush! I really love this series so much! Jordan and Beckett are two souls who are just meant to be together. They just mesh so well. This book really delves deeper into their relationship and their professional lives, and how the two are so tightly interwoven. You get much more insight into what makes Beckett tick, and how scared he is to give himself to someone so completely. You also see what a strong woman Jordan is. I feel so bad for both of them because they are unable to let the world know that they are together. It’s a lot of added pressure on top of everything else. The ending of this book was intense! Now I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book to arrive. It is torture. I can’t wait. Thanks for another amazing series, Ali Dean!

I had to wait to read this book because I know that when I start to read an Ali Dean book I’m going to want to read the whole thing. Well I finally had the time and it was worth the wait. My only problem is Ali needs to write faster. I now want to read the third book!
Like expected this story is amazing. There is so much drama and this one ends in a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next book.
I should know better than to start a highly anticipated Ali Dean book at midnight, but I could not resist. Brazen Steele continues the series in a progressively intriguing fashion. There is so much about this book that I loved, but I refuse to spoil it for others. You just have to experience it for yourself to have the full emotional experience. The passionate chemistry and friendship that Jordan and Beck create take you on the ups and downs of their relationship. You feel in your stomach and heart the impact of this wild ride. Beck shows you more of his inner thoughts and feelings. Jordan blossoms before your eyes. Jordan passes every test, and she arises to new occasions. She is down-to-earth and caring. She truly steps out of her comfort zone in this book, which allows her to excel in skateboarding and expose herself to new adventures. My fingers tingle with the anticipation of what is to come. Warning, the cliff-hanger queen is enjoying her reign over our delicate hearts and continues to test our patience for the next part of this story!
I received an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
Ali Dean is the queen of heart warming sports romances! Beckett and Jordan have become one of my top three couples of all time! Ali brings the reader into the story right from the first page, and doesn’t let us go even after the last. We are kept begging for more to find out just how this couple is going to make it all work!
I am so happy that there are four books in this series. There is so much more to learn about Beckett and Jordan both as individuals, and as a couple. This book does end on a major cliff hanger, but one of things I love best about Ali when she releases series there is not lot a lot of wait between each book!
I love this series so much! Beck and Jordan are so perfect together. Ali is killing me with these cliffhangers though! I’m on the edge of my seat dying to find out what happens next! As usual, It was so good I finished in one sitting, dazed out and haven’t even stopped to eat or drink.
