Reckless (The Powerless Trilogy)

Paedyn and Kai battle with duty and desire in this highly anticipated second installment in the sizzling and epic romantic fantasy trilogy that’s packed with spicy tension and edge-of-your-seat betrayal.

The kingdom of Ilya is in turmoil…

After surviving the Purging Trials, Ordinary-born Paedyn Gray has killed the King and kickstarted a Resistance throughout the land. Now she’s running from the one person she had wanted to run to.

Kai Azer is now Ilya’s Enforcer, loyal to his brother Kitt, the new King. He has vowed to find Paedyn and bring her to justice.

Across the deadly Scorches, and deep into the hostile city of Dor, Kai pursues the one person he wishes he didn’t have to. But in a city without Elites, the balance between the hunter and hunted shifts—and the battle between duty and desire is deadly.

True enemies to lovers. and the banter in this book is fantastic. of course they had to wait till last minute to figure their crap out and by then it was too late. and as soon as the velvet box that kitt carries around was mentioned and what he should do for the kingdom, I knew he was going to propose to her. now I just need to find out how that's going to play out.

Significantly better than book 1. However, it makes you wonder if the first book was even necessary...

This was so unbelievably boring. The same thing happens like 5 times. The decisions of the FMC in the very beginning were so frustrating that I don’t know how I survived reading the rest of this. The conflict seems hollow. The characters have no depth. I was hesitant to start this after the first book but I don’t think I can continue.
