Music is my life.
It’s kept me breathing.
Even when I couldn’t eat, sleep, or sing, I could still write songs.
It’s the only thing that has saved me from going crazy.
Until the day Reckless Alibi decides to hire a girl.
Suddenly, everything from my past comes rushing back to me.
And now she’s there. For every rehearsal. Every show. Every moment. Every song.
We were supposed to be a boy band.… song.
We were supposed to be a boy band.
Now everything has changed.
I’m still breathing … but I’m sure as hell no longer sane.
Get this sexy romance now.

I haven’t had a book draw me in like this one in a long time. I couldn’t put this book down. I got less than three hours of sleep so I could read this book (which hasn’t happened in months.).
I loved Crew and Bria. They are both characters you’ll fall in love with. This book will pull out your heartstrings. You may even cry. I had so many emotions while reading. I felt for both of them at times. I just wanted to wrap them up and wish they didn’t have to hold the pain they were.
This is the type of rockstar romance that I love. It will draw you in and keep you entertained. There is so much more I want to say but I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone!! Everyone should go into this book blind. It’s worth the journey. This is a book I wish I could unread so I could read it again for the very first time!
I am so drawn to the whole band. I cannot wait to see them grow. I have so many questions about Liam. He’s got some secrets that I need to know. I hope he’s the next one we get to learn more about!
Wow! Samantha Christy knows how to tell a story! This was my first read by her and I was lucky enough to be offered an ARC
We all have a past that shapes who we are, who we become. Crew’s past has haunted him for 7 years. With broken promises and lost love, he struggles to let Bria in.
Bria is a strong, smart and patient heroine and is exactly what Crew needs in his life. Their chemistry is off the charts, even he sees that. But letting go of his past is easier said than done.
This book kept me up late and it was well worth it! ‘Just one more chapter’ turned into ‘I NEED TO KNOW’ very quickly. The emotion and the feels are all here! Crew’s backstory left me in tears, but a HEA made all the tears worth it. I can’t wait for more from The Reckless Rockstar series and Samantha Christy.
If your heart doesn’t break reading this book you have no feelings. I am again blown away by the writing. You get so wrapped up the story you can’t help but love the characters. And Crew. Oh my god. How can you not fall in love with his story?
Wow – you will need a supply of Kleenex and an entire bottle of wine while reading this book. Samantha Christy has once again ripped my heart from my chest, made me ugly cry alone on the couch and then wrapped me up in a warm blanket and made everything that was bad into good – and all this in one sitting because I could not put this book down!! Bria and Crew live and die with a song in their heart and lyrics dripping from their souls. The emotional journey that they have to travel through while taking the band from a garage to headlines was one of the best stories I have read in a long time. Simply put – Samantha Christy has created a masterpiece and everyone who reads this book comes out the other side emotionally drained. Job well done!! I cannot wait for more in this series.
Get ready for one hell of a ride.
Crew is reserved, caring, and adds a sense of levity when needed. He is also haunted and broken. His pain is tangible. In contrast, Bria is confident and has the self-confidence to get her anywhere and through anything. The mix is volatile at times.
Reckless Obsession by Samantha Christy is another 5-star read. I thought it would be the first book of hers where I wasn’t going to need a box of tissues for the BAM— she blindsides you!
I absolutely cannot wait to learn about each of the band members. She developed their characters just enough that has you begging for more of them.
Reckless Obsession is The first book in the Reckless Rockstar Series by Samantha Christy and it is a knockout. She, as always, has the most well developed characters and story-lines. I can’t wait for the rest of the series.
Ms. Christy is a master of including characters from previous books into her stories. Several Firefighters from the Men on Fire Series, ball players from the Perfect Game Series as well as Mallory from the Mitchell Sisters and Chad from the Stone Brothers all either make an appearance or are mentioned in seemlessly in the story.
The main character Bria is the little sister of Firefighter Brett Cash, from the book Engulfing Emma in the Men on Fire Series. She is a great singer who is not appreciated as a backup singer by a well known group that takes a chance on an unknown band, becoming one of the lead singers, helping to the band make it onto the radio.
The other lead singer in the group Reckless Alibi, known as Crew, was not happy at first having her join the group. He was basically pushed into it by the rest of the band. He did not want her in the band because of his past history. Once they two start singing together, greatness happens and can not be denied. Crew’s past is a major obstacle almost throughout the story. Once his whole past story is revealed, you will almost go thru an entire box of Kleenex. I don’t think I have cried so much.
You do not need to have read any of Ms. Christy’s previous books to enjoy this book or any of her other books but they are like Potato Chips; You can’t stop at just one. If you are new, I recommend you start with the Mitchell Sisters, followed by the Stone Brothers, the Perfect Game, and then Men on Fire. You will not regret it.
One of my greatest days in the past few years was meeting Samantha Christ in person. My biggest regret was not getting a picture with her. I am one of her greatest fans and recommend her every chance I get. You can not go wrong with any of her books.
This book is fantastic! Crew and Bria have an instant connection, even though they are both reluctant to act on their feelings for different reasons. Regardless of what tension surrounds them, their compatability while on stage is undeniable. While there was a lot of sadness surrounding Crew’s past, there was even more passion and heat between the two of them. I didn’t want to put this book down. The story is well paced and the characters written in a way that makes me feel like I know them. Overall, this is a phenomenal start to this new series and I can’t wait for the next book!
Do you love rockers? Well Samantha’s written a whole band of them and this is Book 1 in that series. It is Crew and Brea’s story. Crew is such a tortured soul and trying so hard to outrun his past. He connects with Brea but continues to push her away because of his previous experiences. Brea is patient to a point but just wants to be able to love Crew.
This is a plot driven book with a little heat but that isn’t the guts of this story.
I did enjoy the book and the narration was top notch. Erin and Jason are both so great at what they do. They really gave us all the sides of Brea and Crew. We were drawn into their heads and I just wanted these characters to get to where they could live and love with peace in their hearts.
A great start to a series which I will be sure to revisit.
5 stars for Reckless Obsession by Samantha Christy. This is book one in The Reckless Rockstar series. OH, this book broke my heart in so many ways. “Grief is different for everyone, and healing can be a slow, arduous process. Then one day, one moment even, when you aren’t expecting it, everything changes.” Crew and Bria’s story tore at my heart strings. Crew is the lead singer of Reckless Alibi and then they decided to hire a girl which he is totally against. However, Crew and Bria have an instant connection, but Crew is drowning in his past. I couldn’t put this book down, even with tears in my eyes I had to keep reading. I needed to know what was to come for these two. ““Abby,” he mumbles, snuggling against me. I fall asleep before dawn after staying up most of the night crying, because the man in my arms thinks I’m someone else.” I swear I could go on and on about Crew and Bria in this book but I don’t want to ruin the story between them. This book is a must read.
Speaking of Reckless Obsession, Samantha Christy is one of my absolute favorite authors, one I’m obsessed with. I absolutely love all her work.
This new series Reckless Rockstars is a different kind of series than I’ve read of hers to date, and I’m excited to see the direction she’s headed with it and the band.
Reckless Obsession is a deeply powerful book that is rooted in some tragic pasts by both Hero and Heroine. Crew and Bria are characters I am excited to see grow and develop as the series progresses. They are both special characters that could become favorites of readers for sure.
Reckless Obsession is definitely just the tip of the iceberg for Crew and Bria, truly “Just the Beginning”.
They are both beautiful and amazing characters with deeply painful pasts in a band with “a lot of secrets”. This journey will be exciting to see as it unfolds.
Invest in this series by reading Reckless Obsession. Just from the first book I can tell it’s going to be an incredibly moving experience, and because it’s written by Samantha Christy, will be awesome.
Reckless Obsession by Samantha Christy is a Rockstar romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon.
This is the first book of Samantha’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I absolutely loved Crew and Bria’s love story. They took you on an emotional roller coaster but you couldn’t help but root for them. I cannot wait for the next book in the series Reckless Invitation to be released on August 27, 2020.
Jason and Erin did an amazing job on the narration. They both know how to bring a story to life.
I would highly recommend this book if you love Rockstar Romances.
Beautiful, HOT love story!
Samantha Christy has hit another home run with this sweet and steamy love story. This book is full of funny, touching, heartbreaking, heartwarming, and healing moments with off the charts HOT scenes in between. I LOVED IT! I cannot wait for the next book in this series!!!
Samantha Christy knows how to write any kind of book. My love for her started in Purple Orchid and kept continuing with each new book she introduced. She creates magic with her words and makes you part of the book. Her characters are real and developed so wonderfully, you never have questions about where they stand or who they are. They always have a background that connects to you intimately.
When she writes these books, her attention to details astound me. She brings back characters from the past that you have fallen in love with. Her attention to detail is out of this world.
Bria and crew are thrown together to an unfortunate situation. Hard feelings and emotions come into play. But, the chemistry between the two is off the charts. Their stories are hard and you should have a box of Kleenex ready.
A great 5 ready by Samantha Christy!!
Bria is a super talented singer. She eats, sleeps, and breathes music. When she is asked to be a back up singer for White Poison, she thinks her hard work will pay off and help her earn a spot on the next tour. (That and her current boyfriend in the lead singer. Until she finds out he is a huge CHEATER!) Heartbroken, embarrassed and discouraged Bria returns home to pick up the pieces.
Crew is the lead singer of the up and coming band Reckless Alibi. He spots Bria on their tour with White Poison and is instantly drawn to her. Crew fights is attraction and chemistry to Bria because of his tragic past. When his band mates insist on bring Bria into the band as co-lead singer Crew resists all the way. However, the music they make is unbelievable. Can Crew overcome his tragic past in order to keep his soul mate or will the band and him lose Bria forever???
Once you start reading you will not be able to put is down! Another great series from Samantha Christy!
Samantha Christy’s books pull you in from the very first page. I loved this book as it took work for the characters to find their happily ever after. There was hurt, anger, pain, angst and a lot of love. Samantha pulls you right into the story with the characters so you feel everything they are feeling. I love the build up of secondary characters and revisits with ones from other books. I absolutely can’t wait to see what’s next for Reckless Alibi!
I LOVED this book! Bria and Crew are just…perfect! I loved how this book was another amazing read with multiple layers to peel back on the characters. I can’t wait for the next book in this series so I can get another peek into what’s going on with Bria and Crew and the rest of the band!
And Samantha does it again
Reckless Obsession the first book in her new series, and what an opener this is.
We’ve already met Bria, Brett Cash’s sister and know she’s off to tour with a major rock band. (if you’ve read Igniting Emma that is, and if not why not!! )
Cash, he’s our new boy on the block and oh what a back story he’s got in store for us.
This was a major pull on the heart strings throughout. The tragedy is sole destroying.
Writing and performing songs isn’t the only thing that bring Bria and Crew together. The chemistry is undeniable, but when you start to deny yourself what you truly need things start to get a bit crazy.
This one goes deep.
Brilliant storyline, fantastic new characters who we can start to know and love.
Love the fact we now have a whole new group to have interlinked into a new series. And that we get to revisit with old favourites.
Liam is going to be an interesting one. Can’t wait to see where this series takes us. Me thinks it’s going to be a bumpy ride. But hey they’re always the best ones.
I’m really looking forward to the audio release, this is going to be fantastic to listen to.
Wow! Samantha Christy never disappoints! This book had me under its spell at page one and never let go. This book was a can’t put down page turner for me and I stayed up way too late reading. Crew and Bria’s story has all the feels …..it will make you laugh, sigh, and cry. A truly amazing romance and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
I want to start a Reckless Alibi fan club! Crew’s got issues. What lead singer doesn’t right?! Add in a new member to the band- a female co-lead singer- and you’re playing with fire! And that is exactly what you get with this book! Because it is hot!
In a new series standalone from one of my favorite authors, Samantha Christy, Reckless Obsession has every thing a rock star romance reader could want:
Up and coming hot band: check
Hot, inked lead singer with issues: check
A beautiful new female co-lead singer: check
An angsty backstory: check
A plot that has you up all night: check
A band that makes it hard to wait to read about all the other members: check, check and check!!
Do you need more? I won’t give you spoilers but if you love hot rockers , if you love angsty books with ALL the feels? Reckless Obsession is for you because you’ll laugh, you’ll scoff, you’ll want to reach in and shake the living daylights out of a character and then give that character a hug a little, and of course there is alway the big ugly cry you’ll do.
So so good! Highly recommended!
I was captivated by the music and emotions Samantha Christy poured into Reckless Obsession. She brilliantly balances sweetness and heartbreak. And I sear Christy pulls memories right out of your head to include as well.
As with all her books, I’m furiously flipping pages on the edge of suspense wanting and needing to know Crews’ story and if Bria is the woman and singer that can heal his heart. Ultimately finding out “The heart has an infinite capacity for love”. Tears were leaking from my eyes as these two squeezed my heart.
I need the next book as soon as possible! Bring on Reckless Invitation!
