About book Reckless Behavior (2009)

This book is a sequel to Reckless Seduction. I liked this story better than the first. It could stand on its own, but works better if the previous story is read first. It is mostly hot sex including threesomes and double penetration. It has a hopeful HEA. Hopeful in that the two need to learn to communicate more, but the ending shows a start of that. It could have used an epilogue or another story showing them communicating better. I would suggest reading the other reviews before buying this book. Cody is a nineteen year old virgin who met Dante at a costume party and happily had his virginity taken away by the sexy older man. Since Dante was certainly no stranger to sexual exploration he easily agreed to Cody spreading his wings, so to speak, with other men. The only provision was to enjoy the other men together. Now, six months have past of various threesomes and fun, hot sex with random men and both Cody and Dante are tiring of the wild sex. Unfortunately, they won’t simply sit down and express this to each other and thus perpetuate the “big misunderstanding” theme that is used within this short, mostly sex based sequel.The majority of the story is comprised of sex scenes – which are certainly hot and ranging from double penetration to threesomes and morning sex. Unfortunately all these sex scenes are well over half the book leaving the actual characters with little definition, almost no progression, and the overall story a flat and empty excuse to have some really hot sex between two gorgeous gay guys. Part of the problem with this is the inherent issues with a sequel when the plot is rather thin. Here the actual tension and plot stems from both Cody and Dante wanting monogamy but prefer to believe the other man could never want the same thing. This refusal to actually talk is an annoying device, although likely realistic given the numerous communication problems between couples.Unfortunately the insistence on using this theme of misunderstanding, miscommunication, lack of actual conversation, and outright lying leads the characters to be rather empty and their relationship to fall flat. Why Cody and Dante are in love is a mystery as their six month relationship seems to be heavily based on sex, with each other and other men, and very little actual connection. Several times the lack of knowledge about basic facts of each man, such as family, shows not only how little they know about each other, but they never think to ask. Furthermore, both express a great deal of enjoyment within the threesomes that contradicts their internal musings that they are tiring of the sexual antics. Neither Cody nor Dante actually seem to want to stop the threesomes, more so they want emotional reassurance that their feelings are returned.This contradictory element is repeated throughout the story in the brief scenes of inner contemplation the characters have in between rampant sex and miscommunication. Dante muses that he wants Cody all to himself, yet hopes Cody doesn’t mind sharing Dante’s attention with the mystery Milo (whose identity is revealed but is somewhat of a mild spoiler so I won’t mention specifics). While this dichotomy is explained, it’s an example of the contradictions that were heavily used within the story. Additional factors are ignored such as the age difference with Cody being nineteen to Dante’s thirty-two that could have provided more depth to their relationship if explained or explored. Instead the author choose to stay with the yearning for monogamy in between rampant sex with a resolution to the misunderstanding as quick and easy leading to the one actual conversation these men have at the end of the book.The writing wasn’t bad even with the editing errors as Young can definitely write a scorching hot sex scene in explicit detail while keeping each one different with a purpose for the book. From showing their glee in the sexual antics to their desire for each other and thankfully a focus on safe sex, none of the scenes are rote although they are clearly fantasy romance. Perhaps the characters are given more depth and definition in the initial book, but even if they had the reason for this sequel still reads thin to me. If you’re looking for an easy book without a lot of depth in the men or plot but super hot sex scenes – this may be it for you.
