The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . RECKLESS: The Legacy Begins (Death Dwellers MC Legacy Generation, #1) . . . Intense Coming-of-Age in the MC World: A Struggle for Legacy and Love! Reckless dives straight into the volatile world of the Death Dwellers MC Legacy Generation, giving us an emotionally raw look at what it means to grow up under a legend's shadow.

Sixteen-year-old CJ Caldwell carries the heavy burden of his father, Outlaw's, reputation. He desperately dreams of earning his patch, but the road is paved with expectations—finish school, go to college—before he can even be considered. This isn't just a biker book; it's a gripping coming-of-age tale about a young man trying to forge his own identity while navigating the intense pressures of a notorious MC family.

The emotional core of this story is the painful push-and-pull with Harley Banks. Her rejection breaks CJ's heart, but the underlying knowledge that she's breaking her own as well adds a poignant layer of forbidden romance and sacrifice. This isn't puppy love; it's deep-seated heartbreak that drives a lot of CJ's actions.

The stakes are raised further as CJ must cope with heartbreak and simultaneously try to save his cousin, Ryan, from dangerous influences. The plot is thrilling, forcing CJ to learn that being reckless has serious, immediate consequences, and that sometimes, the hardest and most painful path is the only one that's right.

Kathryn C. Kelly delivers a fantastic start to this new generation's story, full of family bonds, first love, and the dangerous lessons of the MC world. This book is a must-read for fans of contemporary MC romance who love a deep dive into character struggles and high emotional tension.

In her dreams, Kathryn C. Kelly is a flirtatious biker babe with the rumble of a hog between her legs and a shirtless bad boy wrapped in her arms. Kathryn and her bad ass biker boy spend their evenings tossing back great scotch (Chivas Regal) and fighting over who is better at Cards against Humanity (she is, obviously.)

In her reality, Kathryn is a native New Orleanian who has survived Hurricane Katrina and breast

cancer. Now she’s hoping to survive three lively girls. While not playing Wonder Mom, Kathryn can be found putting all those dreams into the pages of her next Death Dwellers Motorcycle Club novel.
