Come To Me Recklessly
A.L. Jackson

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Romance

COME TO ME RECKLESSLY is the third book in the Closer to You series by A.L. Jackson. As my first book by this author, I found that this could be read nicely as a standalone. However with Christopher's brother, Aly and her husband, Jared playing significant parts in this book, it would be better to read the series in order.

Samantha Schultz has a nice life. She had graduated from school and is now actively pursuing her dream job as a teacher. She currently lives with her boyfriend Ben but despite all that, Samantha feels like something is missing from her life. She isn't happy. All this is because her heart lies somewhere else with a man named Christopher Moore.

After years of not seeing each other, the Moores come back into Samantha's life like an all-consuming wave. While Samantha's reunion with Aly goes well, it's seeing Christopher face to face that brings back all the memories.

True to the genre's style, Jackson encompasses angst and emotion in a well thought out story. Samantha's character was the driving force of the story. With the emphasis on her brother and her sickness, there is a whole lot of heart in this novel, setting it above others of its class. I think my favorite thing about this book is that Jackson makes Samantha and Christopher very mature for their age, which as a result makes them very relatable. A.L. Jackson is a master at capturing the heart of her characters.

SUMMARY

From the New York Times bestselling author of Come to Me Softly, another irresistible new adult romance in the Closer to You Series.

His heart was turned off… Until she turned him on….

Christopher Moore gave up on the idea of love years ago. Now, his life is an endless string of parties and an even longer string of girls. Enjoying the physical perks with none of the emotional mess, he’s convinced everyone that he’s satisfied—everyone but himself. Samantha Schultz has moved on with her life. Finishing her student teaching and living with her boyfriend, she’s deluded herself into believing she’s content. But there is one boy she never forgot—her first love—and she keeps the memory of him locked up tight. She will never allow any man to break her the way Christopher did. When Christopher’s sister and her family move into a new neighborhood, Christopher is completely unprepared to find Samantha living at the end of the street. Memories and unspent desires put them on collision course of sex, lies, and lust. But when guilt and fear send Samantha running, Christopher will have to fight for what has always been his.
