Reckless Little 15

When Carleigh DuMetz turns fifteen, she quickly joins the teen scene, which brings to light her naivete. Always wanting to be one of the crowd, Carleigh tries to grow up fast so she’ll fit in. She finds her first love in Aiken Lyons, who watched Carleigh grow into a beautiful young lady. The only problem is that his eighteenth birthday is the day after their first date, making it illegal for them to date. If she wants to keep seeing him, they’ll have to keep their relationship a secret.

After Aiken goes on a mission trip to Africa, Carleigh is savagely dragged into the darker side of the adult works by Richard - Aiken’s friend. Carleigh lashes out in an attempt to free herself from him. Instead, she finds herself completely trapped.

Reckless with take you into the tortured existence of a teenage girl who wants to experience the more exciting side of life, but rapidly finds herself on a collision course with disaster. It contains mature content, strong language, and painfully graphic details.

Reviews from Goodreads:

"I gotta say WOW!!! When reading I could not put it down. I am 23yrs old. I can remember being 15 in High School. And my life was nothing like Carleigh's, I really felt for her. I cried a few times, I was rooting for her to make it through all that bullshit. It's not a typical YA, and definitely not a book for the weak heart. I don't think I'll ever forget her story." ~Nashly

"This book though written about a young adult is not intended to be read by that audience. This story is based on actual events. Events that contain extreme language and explicit, graphic sex scenes that at times border on cruelty." ~Literati Literature Lovers
