Club Reckless Books in Order

The Club Reckless world takes Victoria Ashley’s love of messy relationships and drops it into a scene built on temptation and blurred lines. The stories revolve around longtime friends whose loyalties are tested inside and outside a notorious club.

In Hard & Reckless, the first Club Reckless story, a lifelong friendship implodes when betrayal cuts too deep. The narrator’s best friend, Cole King, has done the unthinkable and crossed a line that cannot be uncrossed. Years of trust are destroyed in one night, and every memory is now colored by the image of Cole with the woman who should have been off-limits.

Revenge becomes a coping mechanism. When Brooke Collins steps into their orbit, the narrator sees a chance to make Cole hurt the way he has been hurting. The plan is simple: make Cole fight for Brooke, dangle her between them and watch his best friend squirm. Club Reckless, with its charged atmosphere and anything-goes energy, becomes the perfect backdrop for this cruel little game.

Of course, nothing stays simple once real feelings get involved. As Brooke begins to matter in her own right, the narrator has to face the truth that using her to score points is not who he wants to be. The more time he spends tangled up with her, the less sure he is that he can walk away once the point has been made.

Throughout the series, Ashley leans into jealousy, possessiveness and the way sex and power can get tangled when there is a long history underneath. The club is full of shadows, loud music and bad decisions, but it is also a place where these characters finally say the things they have buried for years.

If you enjoy love triangles, best-friend betrayals and high-heat scenes set against a club backdrop, the Club Reckless books give you that combustible mix with the emotional fallout to match.
