Gah!! I was so excited to see Deacon was getting a story and it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!!! If you are not avid Tia readers, you got glimpses of Deacon in both Wait For Me and Here With Me (which were both incredible and you need to read them too)! Reckless Kiss was perfection! It was a gripping fairytale filled with mystery, suspense, and family loyalty.<br /><br />From the first kiss, Deacon knew Angelica was it. But years later when they were ready to settle down meeting her family did not go as planned.<br /><br />Angelica was always told to stay away from Deacon, but she didn’t listen. Now her family wants to keep them apart and she was about to learn just how far they would go.<br /><br />I could not put this book down! Seriously, I stayed up way too late but I had to know how it all worked out. I was on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, praying for it to end the way I wanted! Tia did not disappoint with this book. Absolutely stunning!!<br />

There’s something about Tia Louise novels that both take my breath away and give me life! Reckless Kiss did both several times as I read Deacon and Angel’s story. From the very start I was completely lost to the story. I never knew what was going to happen, but I just knew that I needed Angel and Deacon together. Their chemistry was electric and charged every single page! I couldn’t put their story down and I wanted it to last forever at the same time! This story was just...wow! Definitely one-click worthy and I’m just so excited that I get to relive it again on audio! I can’t wait for that! 5 stars.

This is an absolute must read. I had such a hard time putting it down when I had to step back into the real world. I loved every second of it. The characters were some of her best and I love all of her characters. This forbidden love/family feud story is so well written and the hea was one of the best. I can't say enough good things about this story. Definitely read it!!

Reckless Kiss, by Tia Louise, is a stand alone, forbidden love romance. This book had the feel of The Hatfields and McCoys, as far as there are two warring families, for reasons no one is even sure of anymore. But true love is stronger than any misguided hatred. They will find a way to make things right and to be together forever.<br><br><img alt="reckless kiss tia louise - Google Search" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1596217997i/29894095.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Angelica (Angel) Trevino was fifteen years old when she came to Texas from Mexico after the death of her mother. Her brother left her with her cousins and then he again disappeared, leaving her to adjust to a new life. She was feeling so low the day she literally ran right into the most beautiful boy she had ever seen. When they looked into each other’s eyes, a forever bond formed. And one reckless kiss sealed them together forever. But Angel is warned by her cousin to stay away from that boy. She won’t divulge why but apparently his family did something to her family long ago. But Angel knows, there is no way she can stay away from her handsome prince.<br><br><img alt="beautiful female painter - Google Search" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1596217997i/29894093._SX540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Deacon Dring grew up wealthy and privileged. The day the beautiful girl ran into him and their lips touched, his life was forever tied to hers. He had to go off to boarding school, but they would find a way to see each other. <br><br><b> <i>“I only wanted to give her a smile. I had no idea when she did, I would also give her my heart.”</i> </b><br><br>Angel is out of college now and is taking art classes. She is an artist, painting is her passion. Deacon has just finished his own schooling and is finally permanently home. Over the years, they have managed to keep their love a secret, neither knowing what secrets their ancestors held. All Deacon wants now is to make his Angel his permanently, to marry her. But when Angel finally agrees to introduce him to her family, things don’t exactly go well.<br><br><img alt="Mr. Marshall's Method by Jessa York | Goodreads" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1596217997i/29894092.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>I have to give Deacon credit. He wasn’t going to accept the sketchy details he was given as to why their families were enemies. He was going to do everything in his power to fix it. He embarks on a mission to unearth the history that’s been kept hidden all these years. He will not rest until he finds a way to make things right so he and Angel can be together. The hatred her family holds against his is deep and strong, though, and their paths are riddled with tragedy.<br><br><img alt="reckless kiss tia louise - Google Search" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1596217997i/29894094.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>I have loved every book of Tia’s I’ve read. For some reason, although I enjoyed this so much, I couldn’t find the connection to the characters I had in the other books. What I did love, though, was that the love was so strong between these two. They would go to any means to be together. I loved the way Deacon fought for her, the way he would do anything to make her happy. The ending was beautiful. These two really were perfect for each other in every way. This is a sweet, sexy and very intense love story between two people who have to fight against everyone they hold dear to find the way to be with the person they love. And I think it’s also the story of one man’s dedication to the woman he loves, and to make right a wrong in history so that his future will include the girl that stole his heart all those years ago with one reckless kiss.<br><br>For more about this book and so many others, come and visit me at Carol's Crazy Bookish World.<br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/CarolsCrazyBookishWorld/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/Carol...</a><br><br><img alt=" " src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1502304251i/23548582.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy">

<b>3.5 stars</b><br><br><a href="https://app.photobucket.com/u/Christyb23/a/f189be23-9080-4c6a-a25f-26fbed1e07c6/p/d1e4453d-d447-4a60-8263-5664e2a3746b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1597746143i/29983108._SY540_.png" alt="DB9A112B_7234_4BC2_A526_F42A4C58D9E3_IMG_8106" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><i> <b> <blockquote>“I only wanted to give her a smile. I had no idea when she did, I would also give her my heart.” </blockquote> </b> </i><br><i>Reckless Kiss</i> is Tia Louise's newest stand alone about a couple with a feuding family. Angel and Deacon meet when they're teenagers and quickly fall for one another. They're together for years in secret due to a family feud, though neither knows how deep or serious this feud runs. Even though their families don't approve of them being together, they're not willing to give each other up. <br><br>I loved both Angel and Deacon but my favorite part of a romance is watching a couple fall in love. I feel like we missed that in this book. The couple was together from page 1 and it lacked that falling in love progression for me. Still, I very much enjoyed these two as a couple and loved watching their romance progress. I loved how devoted they were and that they weren't willing to let anything or anyone tear them apart. <br><br>I listened to the audio book of <i>Reckless Kiss</i> and it was narrated by Jason Clarke (who always does an incredible job) and Samantha Brentmoor (who was new to me, but did a great job) and they both voiced Deacon and Angel magnificently. The audio book was fantastic and I highly recommend giving it a listen. <br><br>Overall, I liked this forbidden, yet sweet romance. It had some Romeo and Juliet vibes but thankfully the ending wasn't tragic. <br>

Prepare to be swept away. Reckless Kiss rages in like a fierce storm and sets fire to the soul. Deacon and Angel are a beautiful tragedy that long to have so much more. Louise lets emotions do the talking and the characters are just along for the ride. Powerful, unpredictable and unforgettable will take your breath away.

WOW! Reckless Kiss is a beautifully written, forbidden love story, that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Deacon & Angelica's relationship started when they met as teens, and their love for each other grew over the years. But will a long running family feud, which they knew nothing about, halt their dream of being together? Deacon is a determined, intelligent man who will do whatever it takes to be with his one true love, while Angelica would do anything and go anywhere, even giving up on her dream of becoming an artist for the love of her life. This book is definitely my new favourite of Tia's (and I love all of her books) I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed.

I DEVOURED this book. Deacon and Angel are steamy, hot fire. Reckless Kiss takes you on an emotional journey of a mysterious family feud, forbidden love, and overcoming hatred/prejudices.<br /><br />Deacon says it best. "It's a good omen. It's like us - I'm the raw ingredients, and she's the color, the music, and the flavor."<br /><br />I love Angel's strength and her steel backbone. Despite her brother trying to control her, she stands tall and holds her ground. I love independent, strong heroines that can hold their own with the alpha males in their lives.<br /><br />The connection between Deacon and Angel can't be denied. Their chemistry explodes throughout the pages of this book.<br /><br />"Our kisses are reckless, but they're not irresponsible."<br /><br />Another amazing book by Tia Louise - you won't be disappointed.
