Swept away on a Wild ride...!

The conclusion to this modern day Indiana Jones-esque tale was just as gripping and heart pounding as the first two in this series.
Continue to get swept away on a wild ride of adventure and intrigue, romance and treasure as Dakota and her men find themselves forced to find the location of her family’s legacy with more urgency than ever before.
With revelations and realisations about family, dangers around every corner and some shocking surprises still to come, you will stay glued to the pages of this book until the very end.

Definitely worth the read!

So glad I stuck with this series. I was struggling after book one, I thought it was moving to slowly and the spice was minimal. However, books two and three definitely picked up and the story was great!

I’ve been waiting for the final installment of the Saint Clary’s University series and this definitely did not disappoint! I adore this harem and so desperately wanted to see them succeed and be happy together.

The cliffhanger at the end of [b:This Fearless Girl|55630523|This Fearless Girl (Saint Clary's University #2)|E.M. Moore|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1602457270l/55630523._SY75_.jpg|86752915] was a killer and I found myself tearing through the beginning of the book to get the information we were promised. I have to say I was a little disappointed about the reveal. It helped Cole endear himself to me, but I felt like I could feel Dakota’s pain and loss through the page even though she tried to hide it well.

I really loved the personalities of Dakota, Stone, Wyatt and Lucas and how they developed over the course of the book. Dakota grew into a self-confident woman who wasn’t afraid of her feelings or using the skills Clark instilled in her her whole life to face every adversary in her way. And the guys did everything they could to not only show her what her life could be like with love and family in it, but also make her shine, supporting her and encouraging her to be the best version of herself. Stone’s “white knight” deal got a little old after a while, however everything else about him and his devotion to their formed family was so sweet. Lucas really got the short end of the stick in the previous book and this one, but his fierce dedication to Dakota and his family is absolutely charming. And Wyatt was the bright light through it all, lightening all the situations and still managing to be the support everyone needs throughout everything.

One of my favorite parts of this story was Dakota and Cole’s relationship. Seeing her interact with him in a platonic way was so interesting and was such a contrast to her guys. He really ends up rounding out their new family, acting as the big brother and protector that Dakota never knew she needed. I’d love to see Cole get his happy ending after his appearances here and in the Heights Crew series...I think he deserves it (maybe in the Heights Saga?!).

The action-packed last third of the book kept me on my toes the entire time. I never knew I would get so caught up in the treasure hunt, but I was here for it! I was maybe too invested in it and found myself wanting a lot more from the ultimate resolution. I felt like I missed out on a huge part of the story. But, seeing Lance get what he had coming to him in the end really made up for that disappointment.

I’m secretly hoping for an extended epilogue if this ever turns into a boxed set (fingers crossed!) but, even if that doesn’t happen, I’m happy with the ending and the family they all created for themselves.

She has three guys in her harem and when she mentions two of them, she always included their last names. I get it. Stone’s last name is Jacobs and Wyatt’s last name is Longhorn (and yes, he’s a cowboy).

I got sick of her talking about the Jacobs and Wilder rivalry. Enough, girl. The series was pretty good. I was interested enough. What really ticked me off though was how the entire series was building up to them finding the treasure and then the author skims over them actually finding it. Like she didn’t even give us a chapter to read about it - just some recollection from Dakota.

The series was great. I knocked off a star on this book because I felt the author could’ve done better research on her writing about “gang stuff”. I found it quite comical throughout the book of how it was wrote out and explained. It would mention “gang stuff”, “bad ass gang leader” or “gang business”. I worked 6 years behind the bars being around gang members so I guess this is why it annoyed me. It’s definitely not how they talk or describe stuff in real life. Granted the book wasn’t entirely based on the gang, but when it was mentioned or expressed, it wasn’t executed properly.

These Reckless Hearts was the perfect ending to the Saint Clary's series. It was full of steam, action, suspense, love, and every other emotion under the sun. I couldn't have been happier with how the series wrapped up. Make sure you have time to read this one because once you start, you won't be able to stop!

Such a good ending

Okay so I feel like this was a great way to end this series but I wish you actually got to read them finding the treasure not just recapping it

These Reckless Hearts is the third and final book of the St. Clary's University series. It picks up where This Fearless Girl leaves off and secrets are revealed. It wasn't the secret I thought it was, but I found it even more shocking. Dakota decides that she is not going to let that secret shape her and continues on with her life and the past as she knew it.

This book was packed full of action and we also see how resilient Dakota can be. I have been waiting to see how everything was going to fall into place and how they would find the treasure. The last half of the book had me on the edge of my seat and reading as fast as I could to find out what was going to happen next.

These Reckless Hearts was a fantastic end to this epic adventure. Dakota, Stone, Wyatt and Lucas hold a special place in my heart and I was not ready to part with them.

Finished , loved the book! I have read about little of uppercut princess but then I couldn't get into it but I might need to start again! Because I am curious about Cole ( and is Charlie in there? ) anyway , I have nothing bad to say about this book , I didn't find it rushed at all , but one thing I did miss was Babies !!!! I believe Stone talked about it in book 2 , and again in this one , I really would have loved to see some babies.

Great series , lovely ending .
