Hey rockstar romance lovers, I need your attention for a moment. Are you looking for a new book to read? Well, check out Reckless Desires by Victoria Ellis. This is the first book in her Reckless Desires series, and I think you'll fall for Bordeaux and Isla. (as well as the rest of the band.)
Bordeaux, Declan, Flynn, and Miller are just about finished up with this tour, and Bordeaux has made plans for their little break. His plans include helping his grandma (Frankie) at The Vinyl Kitty, and hopefully hiring someone to help out regularly as well. Isla Robles is a college student who is majoring in music management, and is also a talented painter. She recently ended a relationship, and is against falling in love again. Been there, done that, don't want to repeat it. Isla is also in need of a job, so she applies at The Vinyl Kitty. Bordeaux happens to be the one who calls her for an interview, and then also conducts the interview. Upon meeting her, he is definitely intrigued by her, and her knowledge of music. A job offer is made, and Bordeaux is determined to stay away. That's all fine and dandy until Manny walks into the record shop so that he can talk to Isla, aka his ex-fiancee. A lot happens in that short time, and suddenly Bordeaux is taking Isla to Manny's upcoming wedding. It is more so to get Manny to back off, but secretly Bordeaux wants it to be a real date. From a fake date, to the sharing of past hurts, to a real relationship, to the big dramatic moment, and ultimately the reunion of the couple, you'll be swept into this rockstar romance.
I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to fully expect with Reckless Desires. I knew I was getting a rockstar romance, and that was about it. I wasn't certain if this rockstar romance was going to be similar to Sons of Sin, or Blood & Bone, or Mile High Rocked. Those are the rockstar romances I've read so far, so those are what I'm familiar with. I will say that there wasn't a lot of tour/band time happening in the book, but it did eventually occur. So this is much more focused on the couple during Bordeaux's "down time".
Isla and Bordeaux had me falling. With Isla healing from her breakup (as well as a major occurrence in her past), and Bordeaux dealing with family issues from his past, these two hurt people found each other. They had their highs, they had their lows, and together they came through all the difficulties to find their happily ever after.
That scene at the record shop when Manny walked in: fabulous.
The wedding weekend that Isla and Bordeaux went to? Was not expecting that to happen, but I'm glad it did.
The entirety of what happened in Indiana had me on the edge of my seat. (Flynn destroyed me)
Then there was the big dramatic moment, and my heart broke for these characters.
The reunion between Isla and Bordeaux gave me everything I wanted.
Also, the band and Hellfire? UGH.

I'm falling for this band, and I am so ready for the next in the series. Thankfully the wait for Shattered Desires isn't too long, and then I can learn Declan's story.
I hope that you will give Reckless Desires a read. It was such a good story, and definitely tugged on the heartstrings a few times. Surprisingly no tears were shed!
Thank you for reading my thoughts on Reckless Desires.

Reckless Desires is one of the hottest rock groups gracing the charts and Bordeaux Daniels is their lead singer and frontman.
Bordeaux Daniels
I don’t fall in love.
It isn’t what I do.
It isn’t in my blood.
But when Isla Robles walks into the record shop with her devastating curves, plump lips, and sexy smile, I can’t help but be intrigued. Inserting myself into her life as her fake wedding date to her ex-fiancés wedding could be trouble…
But trouble comes with the territory. I’m the lead singer of Reckless Desires, the country’s hottest rock band.
And I’m a rockstar in every sense of the word.
Isla Robles
My ex broke my heart.
He broke my heart and then invited me to his damn wedding.
There’s not a chance in hell I’d go…
Until a famous, sexy rockstar decides he’s going to be my date.
I never saw Bordeaux Daniels coming, and I’ll admit, I’m not one to be swept off my feet, especially with a past like mine. I don’t trust people, especially men, but I feel something different when I look into his eyes. I can’t help but feel a magnetic pull toward him.
It’s both intoxicating and terrifying.
Reckless Desires
The band that was launched into insta-stardom knows the price of fame. After all, they’ve all but sold their souls to the devil himself for their careers.
The tour they are about to embark on is going to be different than their last, though.
One night. One phone call. One life hanging in the balance.
Nothing will ever be the same.
