Cole King… the name alone leaves a bad taste in my mouth, a reminder of how he broke my trust in the worst way possible.My best friend of twenty fucking years.He had my back and I had his.Always.Until he crossed the line.Now visions of him sinking between my girl’s legs, making her scream in all the ways only I should’ve been doing, haunt me, mixed with images of all the ways I can rip his damn … ways I can rip his damn throat out.
I’ve tried to forget it and move on, but I can’t.
Ways to inflict even just a small portion of the pain he made me feel fucking consumes me.
Somewhere in his fucked up, twisted mind, he thought it would be okay to share my girl.
Now…
Now, he gets to see what it feels like to share what is his.
Brooke Collins…
Hopefully she can handle both of us, because I intend to make Cole work for her.
The hard part will be making sure she falls for the right one in the end.
I don’t intend for that to be me…
At least, not until I get a taste of her.
That one touch alone is enough to change the fucking game.

OMG!!!!! This book was so hot and I devoured this book in one day. In typical Victoria fashion, she never lets me down and gives me a story that so hot and amazing I couldn’t put it down. Mind-blowing book that took me by surprise.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Jameson Daniels has been betrayed by his best friend of twenty years Cole King. A betrayal so deep that Jameson many never be able to forgive him. Cole had Jameson’s girlfriend of four years so why can’t Jameson pay him back by going after the girl he’s interested in. Cole is going to know what it feels like to share Brooke Collins. Jameson just has to make sure she she falls for the right one of them in the end….Cole. But once Jameson gets a taste all bets are off.
The first thing I’m going to say is WOW!!!! Hard and Reckless is absolutely amazing. I love a good love triangle. Jameson, Cole and Brooke make one amazing triangle but there so much more than that. A betrayal leading to payback and lots of fun for Brooke with two hot alpha males takes on a whole different feel than the usual love triangles. She’s not suppose to fall for Jameson, she’s suppose to want Cole. He had her first. I swear these three characters all brought the heat. I could literally feel the emotions from them all pouring off the pages. This is what makes Victoria Ashley one of my favorite authors. The way her words flow with such depth and emotion that you can’t help but be sucked up in the story and loving every moment of these she characters lives with them.
When Victoria Ashely announces she has written a new book I become a stalking fangirl until I know when it’s coming out and when review sign ups are. I do not miss her books. She never disappoints and always always do I say this is my favorite book. I’d honesty hate to have to pick my favorite Victoria Ashley book. If you’ve read her books you know that Hemy is one of her best male characters of all time. I love him and he’s always been at the top of my book boyfriend list. Sorry Hemy, but you’ve been knocked down a place on the list and Jameson Daniels now hold my heart. I didn’t think it was possible but it happened. This is a definite must read. If you don’t read but one book this year this should be the one. It’s got everything you could ever want and so much more from a book.
This book was hot!! I love Jameson. I disliked Cole but he grew on me.I hope we get Cole, Rowdy, and Revs story!! I loved this story!
Awesome Story & Narration Captivating & SizzlingHot!
Hard & Reckless
Club Reckless, Book 1
By: Victoria Ashley
Narrated by: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott
This book was amazing, it drew me in right from the start and held me captive straight to the end. Victoria Ashley is a gifted author, her descriptive writing brings you right along side the characters, seeing what they see and feel. Jameson and Cole have been friends for 20 years, they work together at the club and are like brothers. That was until Cole did the unthinkable, he screwed Jameson’s long time girlfriend. Jameson dumps her and plans on getting even with Cole to get his betrayal out of his system. Cole has it bad for Brooke Collins but when she sees Jameson she sees something she likes. Cole knows what Jameson is playing at so he plays along and they both give Brooke the ride of her life. But is that enough for them or will they want more rides. I loved how everything plays out in this book, it is plotted out nicely and there is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, some angst, some heartfelt moments and some great smoking hot sexy times. Victoria Ashely, thank you for this awesome story!
I listened to the Audible edition, Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott are awesome narrator and voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart they put in to their work, their duet performance captures the chemistry between the characters, their passion as well as their emotions which enhances the story even more. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen
Jameson Daniels a security guard at Club Reckless takes his job seriously. He loves his friends like brothers and would do anything for them but when he finds his best Friend Cole sleeping with his girlfriend of four years he’s out for revenge.
Brooke has been booking up with Cole but one night at Club Reckless sees sexy Jameson and thinks he’s more her style. When things get crazy and both boys are out for her attention there is only one thing to do get with both at the same time. There is only one rule from Jameson only fall for Cole.
Brooke can’t stay away from Jameson and can’t stop think about him. She thought that one night would be enough but she wants more and just with him not both.
This book was really good and short story but definitely hot and streamy. It’s a quick read but worth it.
Cole and Jameson have been best friends for years, but then two women come between them and there’s no going back to their easy relationship any longer really. First, it’s hard to believe that two people who call themselves best friends would do what they did to each other. Cole didn’t even like Jameson’s girlfriend of 4 years, he was just teaching him a lesson? Why not just tell him or provide other proof that the girls cheating with others? That bit threw me off. Then of course Jameson has to get back at Cole where another woman comes into the picture. There was a pretty hot scene with the three of them, but this story follows the old saying “three’s a crowd”.
I really did have a hard time with the narration and didn’t totally enjoy it, but definitely didn’t hate it. There’s a cadence to the narrators’ voice that was not in line with the dialogue. It wasn’t the duet narration, I have listened to awesome duet narration, but there was just something that didn’t sync with the story for me.
I listened to this in Audible. I would say it was about a 3.5 for me.
Cole and Jameson have been friends for over 20 years. Cole makes a decision that fractures that friendship. Brooke is dating Cole but is instantly attracted to Jameson when she meets him at the club. A twisted tangle of emotions and desire develops between the three. Will a friendship be able to withstand more betrayal? Who will end up with Brooke? Another smash hit from this author!
This is my other favorite book of Victoria Ashley!! HOT AS HELL is all I can say about this book! Jameson is everything in a man that I need. Lordy everything he does to her, it makes you think Christian Grey who??? Definitely everyone needs to read this book!!!
Best friends for 20 years has Cole made the decision to show Jameson that his girl is not the right one for him, unfortunately his actions only fueled Jameson so give him a taste of his own medicine. Brooke is dating Cole and although she’s happy she starts to feel a pull towards Jameson and a deep desire burns in her to know what it feels like to have him. The storyline jumps a level hotter then before as an attraction is created and builds stronger each day. The sexiness is off the charts and Brooke is one damn lucky woman. As long as you have an open mind and are open to a little taboo you’ll love this story. This is a standalone but I hope we get to hear more about these characters on the future, I feel there’s more to be told with everyone. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
3.5 meh starts.
I really hate to say it, but this one really didn’t do it for me. Jameson and Cole drove me absolutely crazy. They were like 2 little boys fighting over a new and shiny toy. After a while, I just didn’t care about any of them. On the flip slid, the dirty talk and the down and dirty times were on point. But other than those two things, I’m chalking this up to a big…meh.
