Six kids, numerous scandals, and many years later…Reckless Beat are back for an encore!Memories will be shared.Secrets will be exposed.And teenage angst will be in abundance.Someone may have even lost the naming rights to their kid during a drunken bet.Yep.Reckless are back – more seductive, hilarious, and crazy than ever.
I don’t think I can ever get enough of the boys from Reckless Beat and it was great to see how their lives have changed. They are all married and the chemistry between the couples is stronger than ever but watching them raise teenagers will have you laughing out loud. They all remember what they were like as teenagers so they want to ensure the boys don’t get too wild and have anxiety attacks about trying to keep their daughters safe from teenage boys and that is without the melodrama that always accompanies teenagers.
It was great to catch up with people we know and love and hopefully this prologue to some stories about the second generation.
I can always count on Eden to come up with a book that leaves me wanting more! I was so into this book that I had no idea it was about to end. I can only hope that there are more books to come!
Really loved this! However, now my appetite is whetted and I got to have more! I’ve already read the entire series twice and I would like to read it again. I love that there’s some storytelling in here, basically flashbacks, as to how some of these couples stayed together and as friends all these years. I do hope we see more of this group in future books. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and I am voluntarily giving my honest review.
I’ve been in a book funk for a while, being I’ll reading hasnt interested me, I love everything eden puts to paper and with Reckless Encore shes pulled me out of it.
My god i love these books, the whole reckless series has been amazing and now it gets even better.
I couldnt put it down, I couldnt read it fast enough but never wanted it to end.
Cant wait for more….
AMAZING!!
I love when authors write spin offs or a novella after an amazing series. The Reckless Beat series is one of my all time favorites and my most reread books in my kindle. Reckless Encore was a great book to take a peek in all the guys lives. I love the flashbacks and storytelling showing different parts of the guys lives, weddings, babies, losing bets. I can not wait to read the next book in the spinoff series. Weaved into the book is the new stories about the bands kids who are now teens. I loved Tyler (Leah & Ryans son) and Sophie (Blake & Gabi’s daughter), I really hope the next book is centered on them. This was one of my favorite “encore “ books. I didn’t feel like it was a short read. I had a hard time putting it down. All my favorite characters together again. I highly recommend this book. I personally would read the whole series first just because it’s so good. Thanks Eden Summers for giving us more Reckless Beat!
As soon as I started reading the first line in this book my eyes started leaking lol not because it was sad it was because I was so excited to be reading about this crew again and especially the first member Eden was writing about! 🙂 I have missed this crazy group of people. Now add in the teenage children oh boy… You’ll hear some new/old stories some new/ new stories, you’ll fall in love with this band and their families even more! Thank you Eden for another amazing addition to this series but now I need more! I think it’s time for me to read the series again or you could write more!
Thank you for giving us more Reckless Beat drama and craziness. The band members now have kids and a family gathering involves all the couples with their kids. Parenthood is hard and the honesty as everyone deals with their kids getting older, especially teenagers, is wonderful to experience. The stories being told around the campfire are wonderful, getting a look into other parts of their lives through the kid’s eyes as they dread these stories. So hopeful that there will be more to this series as the kids grow up to provide more drama and fun. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I am so excited to be back with this fabulous group of people! This is book 5.5 in the Reckless Beat series and this time we are not only with the guys and their better halves but their kids as well. The kids are teenagers and are giving their parents quite a ride! It’s time for another group vacation and the kids are dreading it. Personally, I’m loving it! I have smiled a lot, laughed, rolled my eyes and cried. I love listening to some of the stories we heard in previous books. Some even more funny now. It is so crazy seeing how these guys have matured with age…or not. (LOL!) One thing is for sure, they are ALL still madly in love with their women and now their kids.
These guys are still awesome, as are there ladies. I am SUPER EXCITED to roll with this series as the kids get older and do their own thing. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next with this crazy mixed up Reckless Beat family!
The band’s all here! Mason, Mitch, Blake, Sean, Ryan and their families are on vacation!
A Reckless Beat family vacation. The older generation, the actual band members, are ready to let loose, relax and enjoy themselves. That includes spending alone time with their wives. The kids, not so much. They aren’t looking forward to this family vacation.
Teenage, hormonal girls, and boys that are starting to resemble young men, are their main concern, especially when the aforementioned are their own children.
Once they arrive at their destination, the kids are bored and the parents are stressed. The band reminisces about the old days and stories are told about the five close friends.
These wild rockers have grown up only to realize payback is a b!**# and karma comes no matter how rich and famous you may be. Their kids are growing up quick. Let’s hope they’re not as wild as their parents were, then these guys would really have something to worry about.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED CATCHING UP WITH THESE ROCKERS ! I NEED MORE ! GREAT STORY WITH AMAZING, COMPLEX CHARACTERS THAT YOU WILL DEFINITELY FALL IN LOVE WITH
STEAMY, SEXY AND SINFUL ! ! ! A DEFINITE MUST READ ! ! !
5 amazing stars for this entertaining novella set in this author’s Reckless Beat universe! Be prepared to buckle up for a sweet, fun, and sexy adventure as I absolutely loved reconnecting with my favorite rockstars, the women who tamed them, and their teenage spawn. Yes, the kiddos are teenagers now and it was hilarious to read how some of these former playboys are reacting to raising them! It’s definitely karma time! I thoroughly enjoyed this novella and devoured it in one sitting. It was humorous learning what the rockstars were up to and it was great to see just how connected the couples remain. There is storytelling revolving around the glory years of the boys with all of their shenanigans as well as some current antics involving the close-knit band members and their families. This book was perfect with the way this author weaves the story and stays true to her characters. I enjoyed it so much that I want to re-read the entire series!
I have missed these boys so much and I was so excited to be reunited with them again !! I love love loved it. A little snippet into what their kids have been up to and how they deal with their parents being so famous and the adults reminiscing on untold secrets and their hilarious antics had me laughing out loud. Eden Summers is an amazing author and I cant want for more!
OMG the boys and girls are back but so are their kids. And the flashback stories that are told yes yes yes omg yes. Sean and Melody’s story oh dear Mason can be an idiot. But at least he fixed things. Mitch and Allies story Blake you fluked that shot didn’t you…. and Belvedere what was he thinking oh that’s right he wasn’t really in the right state. And the kids will lets just say I’d like to give Ethan a swift kick. Sophie and Maya sound just like my girls so I can relate to Blake and Gabi on that. Chase, Beth and Tyler I just can’t wait to read more about them. I loved the boys of Reckless Beat and now I think I’m going to love them in a whole new light along with their teenage children.
This is a story that I never knew I wanted, until I heard it was coming, and then I needed it. I needed it so, so bad.
The Reckless family has all grown up – well, maybe not so much the band guys, but their kids sure have.
We get to see a bit more of all the guys and their women, and most of all their teenage kids.
Now, I am not going to lie, I bawled at one part of the story. Ugly, snotty tears as my heart felt like it was going to break. I am not going to tell you what about, but boy you will know it when you get to it.
It was like it hadn’t been a few years since the Reckless Beat series had finished. I fell right back onto their lives like I had never left.
I can’t wait to see what Ms Summers brings us next.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. This story made my heart sing. I love the whole Reckless group, and couldn’t wait to devour this book. I loved the reminiscing, and the unexpected turn of events. My favorite quote was ‘He kissed his love into her’. Wow! I really hope this is the beginning of the next generation of Reckless stories.
Great book….a follow up book to the characters in the main book Reckless by Eden Summers. A must read. It is always great to see where everyone is after the first book ends…
Nostalgic, Angsty, Steamy & Romantic!! A 3.5 Star Read
Reckless Encore
This is mostly a witty get together of the Reckless Beat band & their families, children included. It’s an annual weekend of drinking & relaxation. The teens generally loathe it, as they’re sick of the stories they’ve heard a million times plus it’s cringe worthy to them all!
There’s an underlying storm of emotion brewing between teen bestfriends, Sophie & Tyler! It’ll be explosive when the parents get involved!
This felt like it could be setting up for a ‘next generation’ book There is certainly the depth within the characters to warrant it
This is a fast & cute read!!

Reckless Encore brings all the boys back together again….Vacation style.
This book has it all.
I laughed, I cried and I had a hell of a good time reading it from cover to cover in one sitting.
I’m so glad we got the chance to go back and visit the gang for a catch up
This book is part of a series so know that going in. It also makes WAY more sense if you have read the Reckless series, though it can be read as a stand alone, though if you try it you are just going to go back and read the series anyway because yes, Ms. Summers has done it again! This is another off the charts book that will have you crying for more. In many ways it will only whet your whistle and cry out for more. The writing is typical Eden Summers, meaning you will be dropped into a world that you will be able to see so clearly you won’t want to leave. The plot is more laugh out load, growing up, adult humor and flashbacks, but oh so good. Don’t expect the hot and heavy, but know you will be left with a good taste in your brain after devouring this one.
The band has been successful for years. In this novella we enjoy some scenes from their life. I enjoyed everyone of them! A kid being born and also kids who are almost adults, both were so detailed I felt like I was there. Huge fan of this series and this extra look into their lives was exactly what I had hoped it would be.
Reckless Encore just shows that the lives and characters continue to grow and develop. Their stories told through their adventures. Always a pleasure to read and remember back to the beginning of such great memories. Looking forward forward to more.
