It's been a couple of days since I read this book but I can't seem to get it out of my system. One of the most highly anticipated books of 2013, Reckless ended the Kellan and Kiera story to absolute perfection.

Where to begin? I can't describe what this series means to me and how it greatly changed my reading life. This series started my love affair with rock stars and celebrities. I feel so emotional writing this review. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters. I know it has to end but I still am not ready to let them go. When I got to the end part, I was conflicted with emotions. I was gleefully happy that they got their happy ever after but at the same time sad because this means the end to the series that I loved the most.

Reckless picks up where Effortless left off. Having been signed by a record label, Kellan and The D-bags are now in L.A. to record their first album. Keira follows soon after accompanying Kellan on their tour to promote the album while writing an autobiography depicting her relationship with Denny, her infidelity with Kellan and of how they became a couple. As The D-bags rises, issues also came with them, invasion of privacy, overzealous fans, manipulative manager and a diva who will stop at nothing to be famous. Keira and Kellan's relationship are once again tested with the issue that had hounded them since they started - trust.

It's a known fact that I love Kellan Kyle but this book is all about Keira. She definitely shines in this book. She had evolved from the selfish, clingy and immature girl in Effortless to a woman of courage and strength. I love the fact that she pushes Kellan to never give up on his lifelong dream and pushes him to do his best even-though some of the things he has to do is painful for her. Being a rockstars' girlfriend or should I say wife is not an easy task to do but Keira stands by her man, supporting him, dealing with fans, groupies and other pitfalls of stardom and even convincing him to stay when Kellan was ready to left everything and go back to Seattle. She has definitely come a long way.

As for Kellan Kyle, well what can I say? This man is really perfection. I had loved him since Thoughtless and had fallen in love with him more. This guy is perhaps my most admired and love book boyfriend of all time. He may be sex on stick but there is so much more to him than his good looks and talent. His love and devotion to Keira is unparalleled for and all of the sweet and tender moments between them is swoon worthy. Damn! I can't get my mind off cowboy Kellan. That was hot!

All of the characters came full circle in this book. Relationships that started bad ended good. Kellan, Keira and Denny totally put their past behind and even work together as a team in the end. The love triangle and betrayal that started this series have move past to a greater place. Anna and Griffin had their happy-ever-after and so as the rest of the band. I love the fact that all of the loose ends and every single storyline on the first two books were answered on this final installment and were given closure.

Looking back at the journey, I am so happy how this series turned out. I'm sad that it ended and I know I will forever miss Keira, Denny, Kellan, Anna, The D-Bags and the rest of their friends and hopefully a reread will cure it.

Thank you S.C. Stephens for giving us a wonderful and perfect ending to the love story that we love.

With her thirtieth birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She’s running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there’s always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.

Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.

Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be? - Goodreads

I'm a sucker for books that portrayed unconventional romantic relationships. So when I saw this book up on The New York Times' Bestsellers list and read the blurb, I knew then that I had to get a copy of this.

The Proposition has got be one of the best romantic novel's I've read this year. It has mixtures of the elements that I want when I read a romance book - humor, sweet, hot and steamy characters and dialogues that will make you grin. I'm not going to discuss further on its plot but basically it is a story of two individuals wanting something from each one and had to make a scheme to make it happen not knowing that it would change them forever. Emma wanted a baby for her own. Being on the age of thirty and a ticking biological clock, she goes to extreme things of having her self knocked up even asking her gay friend to be her donor. Aidan on the other hand is a player whose reputation of bedding different women had become synonymous to his name. He first saw Emma in a party and wanted her right away but was turned down. Having heard, Emma's predicament, he offered to be her sperm donor but the clause is they had to do it naturally. Sounds interesting right?

I got my copy of this book yesterday and started reading it last night. I was instantly hooked and was having a hard time putting it down. I fell in love with the story. It wasn't all about hot, steamy sex but there's a rare blend of humor in it that to some books that I've read sounded "forced" but in The Proposition, you couldn't help yourself but laughed and giggled along with it. I was sucked in by how author Katie Ashley created a perfect romance book story and not bothering to check how much was left or how far I am to the end part. So imagine my surprise  when "To be continued" was the last set of words I've read. Quite frankly, I didn't read any previous reviews about this book because I was so excited to read it right away when I got my copy. I didn't bother to read what other book lovers had to say about this book. I was too caught up with what I'm reading that I literally shouted explicit words when I got to the end part because if there's one thing that I love and hate about reading, it is cliffhangers. And it pained my heart to understand that I have to wait for three months for the sequel.

Overall, I really love this book (cliffhanger aside). I hadn't ready any books from this author yet but I definitely love her style. I'm looking forward for the next book and see what will happen to Aidan and Emma's relationship.
