WILD RECKLESS
Very Mature YA Contemporary Romance
Scheduled to release: March 17, 2015
BLURB:
Kensington Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best friends, her posh private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with her piano until her audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the best music programs in the world.
Instead, a nightmare took over.
It didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly—a tiny thread that evil somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from her. She was suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an existence she didn’t choose—one determined to destroy her from the inside, leaving only hate and anger behind. It didn’t help that her neighbor, the one whose eyes held danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.
Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that’s spoken about in whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined with Kensington’s, every interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for any future better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone warns is trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen Harper was consumed with darkness, and it held onto his soul for years. When Kensington looked at him, she saw a boy who’d gotten good at taking others down when they threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she looked, the more she saw other things too—good things…things to admire.
Things…to love. Things that made her want to be reckless.
And those things…they were the scariest of all.
Candi's 5* Review:
I absolutely love Ginger Scott and her books!! Every time I pick up one of her books she just sucks me right in!! I feel everything the characters feel!! This is the story of Owen and Kensington. I absolutely loved their story and even after I finished reading it, wanted more on them!!
From that prologue I was hooked!! It starts out in Owen's POV as a small child and trust me, your heart will break for him!! Fast forward a few years and you see Owen's life has been anything but easy....
Kinsington and her family have just moved to Woodstock from Chicago bc of her fathers job. Something she is not very happy about at all!! She misses her friends and she doesn't want to start her senior year at a whole new school but bc she is the "good girl" she decides to give it a try. From the moment she lays eyes on her new neighbor there is just something about him and not necessarily in a good way. Even at school he appears to be a jerk and bad boy but the more time they spend together the more she sees whats really inside. Owen isn't just bad and misunderstood, he is broken! Because of his familys past life he is being judged. Can she prove to him she sees more? Everyone he has ever let in and loved disappears on him.....will she be different? Will she be his Anchor? His something to believe in for a change?
There is so much more to this story!! That stuff with Kensi's dad...holy crapola!!! Owen's brother James....absolute heartbreak!! How much can Owen handle, he has already been thru so much!! Owen's younger brother Andrew...I LOVE him!! My fingers are crossed that sometime in the near future Ginger will give us a book about him!! Kensi's new friends and bandmates....LOVED them!! More please, just more!!!
Amazing job Ginger Scott!! I can't wait for more from you in the future!!!
A definite 5 "Beanie Wearing" Stars for me!!!
Excerpt:
I dodge backpacks and elbows through the busy hallway until I see the glass door of the principal’s office swing open, Owen stepping through, his own pink slip crumpled in his hand, his eyes still dark, angry.
“Are you okay?” I ask, walking up to him, my steps coming quicker. He grabs my hand fast, his grip on my fingers tight, almost painful, and pulls me behind him through the thick crowd in the hall until we reach the back door, near the loading zone for the cafeteria. He pushes down hard, forcing the door open, then pulls my arm, leading me around a corner to a line of recycling bins.
“I’m so sorry…” I start, but Owen’s hands find me fast, his fingers wrapping around my shoulders, his force moving me back until I’m flush with the wall, and then his lips crash down on me.
His hands slide from my shoulders to my neck and into my hair, his mouth covering mine as if he needs my air to breathe, and he closes the small distance between us, the warmth and hardness of him pressing into my body, my hands operating on their own instinct, finding his sides and back until I’m clinging to him, grabbing bunches of his black sweatshirt all at once.
Owen’s hand moves to his head while he’s kissing me, and he tosses his hat to the ground to the side of us, and I let my fingers move to his hair, weaving the strands in and out, letting the softness of them curl around me.
This is the best kiss of my life. Every kiss with Owen has been the best kiss of my life. But this one—it’s full of something more. His lips work mine for long seconds, his tongue passing over mine slowly, his teeth dragging over my bottom lip, my top lip, tugging on me and pulling me into him even deeper. I can feel his heartbeat through his shirt, and I let my hands roam over his chest and around his back again, the feel of him exactly as it is every time I dream.
