4.5 Stars
The Consequence series is hilarious, funny, and has over the top antics, and this book keeps the pace with the previous two books in the series.. The Consequence of Seduction is Reid's story and I was waiting for this book for what seems like forever.
Reid is Max's movie star brother, who doesn't really do commitment, and is fighting the demons of his past (Grandma anyone?!?!?!) so when Max makes him a bet to swap houses if he can commit to a girl for more than a week, he goes for it. He never expected the girl he tried hitting on at the bar to turn him down, think he's gay, or to give him a bunch of crap, he also didn't expect to have her be his new PR rep the next morning. Jordan is a sweet, quiet, and reserved girl. She's always overseen by people, and she just tries to get by in life. She has her job, which she's amazing at, and her dog Otis, and that seems to be enough to keep her happy, that is until Reid enters her life.
The second time these two came in contact with one another is quite hilarious. Jordan is having a horrible day and looks like a homeless woman, and Reid is well.. he's Max's brother so he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut when he should. With Max up to no good, Reid ends up becoming a PR Nightmare for Jordan, but she learns to go with the flow and try to make things better, but she never expected a false relationship and trying to woo the press to her side as well to be a part of her job.
With Reid and Jordan nothing seems to come easy. There is the line of Jordan being Reid's employee that seems to get blurred a lot, and Jordan being pulled into the groups craziness, even if it's not by choice. Each time one of them seems to think this could be more, they remind themselves that this is just a show, and not real, but the feelings quickly start to change for both of them, and neither of them know how to handle it.
With the help of Max and the rest of the gang, they finally figure things out, and things are awesome for them for a while, until Reid has to go and ruin everything for them. My heart broke for both of them, and yet, I couldn't stop laughing at the same time. A misunderstanding, and some interference from Max made a sad and heartbreaking section of this book, something to laugh about, and kept me wanting to know how it would all play out.
Something needs to be said about Max, Becca, Milo, Colton, and Jason..I swear, I need a group of friends like this, because the things they do, say, and get into are hilarious, and my stomach hurts from laughing so hard while reading this book. With all the good intentions, something always seems to go wrong and even though you know you shouldn't laugh, you just can't help it.
This book is another amazingly written story by Rachel Van Dyken that will have you grabbing your stomach because you're laughing so hard. Reid and Jordan's story is sweet, funny, and absolutely amazing. I did feel that Max got more time in this book at times than the main characters, but I was ok with it, because he's one of my favorite fictional characters ever. I highly suggest this book if you are looking for something without a ton of angst and a lot of laugh out loud moments!
