Resumen del Editor

Finnick O'Reilly became my dark prince the day he rescued me from my bullies. I hoped and prayed that my savior would return after the day he saved me, but he never did. I was heartbroken, but it was for the best.
He saved me just to torment everyone else in Grove Hill.
People shiver at his name. He is one of the Bastards of Grove Hill. He's a thug, a criminal, and I'm so glad I've managed to not attract his attention since the day he saved me.
That is until the day he sees me.
Now, he wants me and he'll stop at nothing to make me his. I'm the only person who doesn't cower at his name. He doesn't scare me and that's something he admires.
Finnick is possessive, controlling, manipulative, and he's one man you don't want to fight with yet I do.
Still, I fall into his trap. Now, I'm stuck in a bet with him I shouldn't have ever made. The bet is simple. He wants my virginity. I refuse to be bedded by a man I'm not in love with. He has six weeks to get me to fall in love with him or he has to leave me alone forever.
I'm not sure anymore which one of those options is worse.

Finnnnn!!!

Loved it! Finn and his filthy mouth are delicious! There are some deeper layers here to both of their stories. I actually liked the fmc!

Daddy Finn

I absolutely loved listening to this book! Teddy Hamilton and Katie Thompson brought the characters to life and it was absolutely amazing. They did them justice! I love the book Reckless and hearing it was just so much more than I can describe. This book follows Francine and Finn. Francine met Finn when they were children and he rescued her from bully’s, they don’t meet again until high school. Francine at the start of them meeting again is in a relationship with Duncan, tension grows as Finn continues to get Francine’s attention. Leads to a fight that ends Francine and Duncan’s relationship, Francine the forgiving person she was gives Duncan another chance which is messes up by cheating and caught in the act, but she was on her way to end the relationship anyway. She is hurt by what Duncan did, but who swoops in to help ease her heartbreak, well that would be Finn. Finn who is there helps her realize she doesn’t always have to please people she can do things for herself. He helps her come into her own way by pushing her limits. It’s an amazing story and don’t worry I didn’t forget the spice for this book, amazingly hot 🥵 if you haven’t read this story and maybe don’t have time to sit and read highly recommended listening to it. Beware don’t listen without headphones.

Absolutely love this audio

First off Teddy is absolutely perfect to play Finn!! He brought him to life for me and can play the bad boy to a T!! And Katie, yallll she was amazing as Franny, she brought out all her emotions!! In the beginning Franny is the good girl dating the good boy,until she gets involved with Finn who is the hot bad boy!!

Zepphora is an amazing author and when i say you will be obessed be ready!!
If you love dark romance, daddy smink and some good spice this is the audio you need

This was so good

I love the story and the narration. Give this book a chance you’ll love it

Really enjoyed this

This story was amazing! I enjoyed it a lot! I cannot wait to read more of their story. It’s like if you mixed rapunzel with the joker and Harlequin

Teddy brings this to life!

Loved the emotional bonding and how in their own way guard one another from their own darkness. I do not want to give information that spoils it for others, but when will we get the second book on audible???? The girls need the second book!

I really liked this!

Thanks to this being performed in duet style I enjoyed this more than I would have otherwise, and of course there is Teddy Hamilton who can do no wrong. Zepphora is new to me and since I enjoyed "Reckless" as much as I did, definitely looking forward to more titles in this series.

4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen

Came for the Smut, Stayed for the Story

I’ve had Zepphora’s books on my TBR for a bit now and after receiving the ALC, I’m so glad I could experience it through the narrators.

The story is written in first person dual POV with a duet style performance and I loved it. Reckless was a great introduction to Katie Thompson. Katie’s tone portrayed Francine’s “good girl” innocence, but developed as her thoughts and actions did throughout the story. Teddy has that “bad boy” tone that I’m familiar with through other dark romances which made him perfect for Finn and his filthy mouth. There’s sexual tension with a daddy k!nk and good banter between the main characters. The story is more than just smut and I was here for it all! Though it’s obvious their story isn’t finished and will most likely continue in the other characters’ books, it didn’t necessarily leave off with a cliffhanger.

Love me a bad boy!

Finnick O'Reilly is a top tier, red-flagged, boyfriend! He totally gives FP Jones from Riverdale vibes and I am digging it! The way he takes care of Frannie and protects her is swoon-worthy!
Teddy and Katie did an amazing job bringing this story to life!

can't wait for the next book

this was definitely not a complete story. can't wait for the next book to find out what happens. very sexy, not super deep but there is potential. the female narrator kept saying Finns sisters name wrong and it drove me nuts. can't wait to find out what happens next. loved that this was a duet.
