Extreme Book Nerd Challenge 2021... Category #50.
Challenge Topic: A book published this year.
Another great read by Feehan. I am just loving delving into the Torpedo Ink clan and watching each of them find that special person that complete's them. The struggles they go through and the character development is amazing.
If you haven't read the first four... do! You will catch some of the inside joke a lot better. However, you can read this one without the others too as Feehan is great and bringing everything full circle.

Great addition to the series. We get more of a view into Caspar and Sea Haven and their citizens. I fell even more in love with Hannah and Jonas. One word: Toads. As always there a mystery, or two, that need to be unraveled with some seriously steamy sex scenes. As always, a page turner. Can’t wait for the next installment. Will it be Preacher????

This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceI received this book for free from Berkley Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Reckless Road is the latest edition in the Torpedo Ink series by Feehan. And I will admit that I was super nervous about this book, especially considering the certain "kink" that was contained in the previous book in the series and I had no clue where this author would take this book but "whew" thank goodness we found something normal ...normal for Christine Feehan that is. LOL In Reckless Road we have a story where we see more of our Torpedo Ink club and I am always fascinated in seeing how Feehan has been able to build this series yet also connect it to the previous series she has done. But I also found this one to be so unique from beginning to end that held my attention from beginning to end.
Our Hero "Player" is one that has certain psychic gifts where his mental capabilities are put at risk but he has talents the like of which his brothers can't comprehend and at times don't delve into and Player tends to keep it more private. But when his mind is almost shattered and he can barely think straight and barely makes it to the clubhouse in one piece, he finds a beautiful woman who breathes music in every movement, a woman of grace with a talent of belldancing and of Middle Eastern descent. After sharing a beautiful night together, not just of sex but of connecting on a deeper level, Player makes a mistake and shatters Zyah's heart. And now Player will have to get his humble boots on and make restitution to Zyah and prove to her he is genuine in his caring of her. But both their pasts will come together in a way neither expect but Player may have to make a difficult choice ....his brothers or the woman he loves.
In Reckless Road I had such a fascinating time with and my goodness I love seeing the beautiful representation here with a Middle Eastern heroine. I rarely see that in romance and loved it in this book. Zyah is such a beautiful heroine both inside and out and her sweet spirit is addicting, she just draws you in but she does stand her ground with Player but not too much. I appreciated that she didn't force this "groveling" for too long, it actually had a well balanced feel to the story in how relatable it felt. Feehan really works her magic with this story in conveying this romance and the more connecting variables between Player and Zyah.

Love love love
I recommend all of her books to everyone but her MC series has a special place in my heart. Nothing like a tortured man to get a girls heart fluttering. Steam and action packed. You can't go wrong.

I am a huge fan of this series. It never fails to tear apart my heart and then stitch it back together. In Reckless Road we see a little more of the "paranormal" than I've really noticed in the other books. This series always has me scratching my head on how to categorize it.
Player's "skill" comes with terrible repercussions but he has found that Kyah helps relieve them some. There are problems for Kyah when she does this for him though and of course Player doesn't want her to help him because of this. I will say, he was a total ass to her before they are properly introduced. His reactions fit with the environment, but she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Because I knew she was hurt, I was a little upset with him.
Reckless Road doesn't focus as much on the trafficking ring as the others, but there is a kind of mystery, or problem that needs the club to help fix. Torpedo Ink protects the people and business in their town.
There is some interesting magic going on that was crossing the lines between past and present. It kept me fascinated. The way the club members work together, as a family, depending on each other completely runs so deep, you can feel their connection.
There was a lot going on until it all fits together and I was enthralled. I love this whole series and if you want your heart ripped out with a great HEA, these are definitely for you. The next one is Savage's book and I'm dying for that one. He is like, the farthest from accepting their new normal and I can't wait to see how he fights his demons.

Loved Player and Zyah, just how I love this whole series. Definitely liked this one better than the previous one. Can’t wait to read the next!

Third time is not the charm. I have previously read 'Judgment Road' and 'Vengeance Road' of the Torpedo Ink Series, and very much like them—I am unable to find anything worth mentioning. It’s a very repetitive, drawn out story with uninteresting characters whose chemistry was non-existent and a boring plot that had me yawning more than once. It fell flat to me and because of that I was unable to connect with this novel. The only mildly interesting bit was the psychic abilities that each MC member has. Besides that, there is nothing that truly stands out and it wasn’t worth more of my time and energy to complete this.

Series: Torpedo Ink #5
Rating: 2 stars - it was ok
Gedeon “Player” Lazaroff is one of Torpedo Ink’s calmest members. Little rattles him, except when his gift of illusions gets the better of him. One night on the verge of losing it he meets Zyah, a beautiful woman who seduces him with every move and word. Now he just has to convince her to give a chance.
While this series started out pretty good, I feel with each book it gets more repetitive and lacking in story. It had some interesting ideas but just fell flat in the end. Nothing stood out in this book and it will quickly be forgotten.
I liked Player and Zyah, for the most part. They both had interesting abilities, especially Player with his illusions. But their relationship quickly became repetitive and slightly boring. I ended up skimming parts of it because of this.
Overall, this book was just ok. Nothing stands out and it will quickly be forgotten. Feehan’s books have felt very repetitive for a while now and it's possible this will be the last book I read of hers.
Trigger warning:
- Human Trafficking, victims and discussed
- Rape, victims and discussed
- Pedophilia, victims and discussed
- Torture, flashbacks and discussions
- Attempted suicide, mentioned briefly
- Elder abuse
