Blurb:
They say when you die, your whole life plays over in your mind like a Hallmark movie. A rose-tinted reflection to remind you what a great life you’ve led.
But for me, that wasn’t the case.
There was no romantic, nostalgic ending for me.
All I had was pain, darkness, and despair on the day I died, dragged by fire into the depths of hell. That’s where I live now. A shadow of the man I used to be. A ghost living in my former life.
Life goes on, but not for me.
She burst into my world with her smiles and her sledgehammer, ready to smash down my walls. She thinks she can save me, but she won’t. I don’t want to be saved. But I’ll play along. After all, that’s all I have left now, a life of pretend and a world of lies, where I play the role they want me to play.
Zak Atwood.
Son.
Brother.
Friend.
But boyfriend?
That’s never going to happen.
How can I live that life when all I feel is dead inside?

My Review
When I heard Reckless Lies was coming out, I binged the whole series prior to the release date. Let me tell you- these men are amazing. Now it's time for Zak and Morgan's story and since they are the two I really didn't know much about, I couldn't wait to read it.
What I really loved about this book was how we saw Zak's struggles as a present obstacle; however, for Morgan, it was more about her past. What I loved about Morgan, was her persistence. She wanted to pull Zak from the dark place he was currently in, and he truly believed he wasn't worthy of love.
This was a very emotional ride, but soooo worth it! I was expecting a great story from Nikki but she totally surpassed my expectations. You need this book (well the whole series) in your life!
