CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Reckless Abandon by Jenn Flynn-Shon

Jenn Flynn-Shon is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Reckless Abandon. While I’m not normally a huge fan on novellas, I have to say I really enjoyed this one! I didn’t even feel like it was a shortened story, and it zipped right along for me and was full of suspense and intrigue. Shaw McLeary, a YA fiction writer, finds herself thrust into something that could be her own plot line when her husband suddenly disappears. From the looks of their ransacked home, she’s afraid he might have been kidnapped. Shaw goes to the one person she can trust in her situation – ex-boyfriend and PI JJ Anderson. Their search leads them from Phoenix to New York – and also brings the two closer together. Will Shaw find her husband and keep her marriage intact? Or is something more sinister lurking…

Reckless Abandon has a lot of action and is fast-paced and really an enjoyable to read. I had to keep reminding myself it was a novella, because even though we don’t have all the details about Shaw’s life and her marriage with Danny, they just didn’t seem necessary, which I think says a lot about the author’s writing. I was on my toes trying to figure out along with Shaw and JJ just what happened to Danny, and the outcome and constant twists to get there makes this story one not to miss!
