Introspective, sweet, angsty, nostalgic second chance
Revisado: 04-23-24
Devon Grace and Troy Duran narrate Jane Suen's Reckless Heart in dual POV, Reckless Heart is a small-town, second chance romance in which Brad and Mary, former childhood friends and classmates, reconnect as adults when Brad is in town for Mary's sister's wedding. They lost touch after high school because Mary broke his heart right before prom. They're drawn together again by a matchmaking friend.
Suen drew me into this story with her vivid description and deft characterization of her complex, fallible, relatable, and messy characters. She tells Brad and Mary's story alternating between the present and flashbacks to the past, mostly in the characters thoughts and memories. Suen develops their relationship through sweet, sexy, funny, emotional, and intimate interactions filled with longing, awareness, and barely repressed emotiions threatening to spill over.
Narrators Grace and Duran sound older than I would expect for their ages, especially Brad. But as the novel progresses and Brad and Mary spent more time together their narration seemed to soften.
Their narration provided distinct voices for the characters, using cadence, tone, pacing, to capture the characters' emotions and states of mind.
I love friends-to-lovers romances, especially when love is perceived unrequited as here, All the pining, yearning, and things unspoken that between them is overwhelming. Weighed against Brad' anger and bitterness, still, the way it's resolved was unsatisfying to me. The novel is so short, I think some other scenes could have been sacrificed instead of proper resolution for the issues between them. It made the really sweet, romantic ending hard for me to enjoy because I was frustrated and disappointed.
Nevertheless, Reckless Heart is an introspective, sweet, angsty, sexy, funny, and, nostalgic audio listen for second chance, small town, secret crush, closed-door romance fans.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

sweet, funny, steamy, emotional, sexy, and angsty
Revisado: 03-21-24
I loved this so much. I've been listening to it at bedtime, so it's taken a while.
It was such a funny, sexy, sweet, romantic, emotional, and steamy romance. I loved the pining and the thirsting, and even the angst was good.
LOVE the narration. Perfect!
Teddy and JF's narration was perfect. I love their narration duo. They really capture the chemistry and emotion of Blakely's writing--and the humor. Their narration is consistent despite each having its own sound.
This definitely is an all-time favorite.
