Reckless Games is not what I expected. I know this is novella. The story is short. Min of drama/ twist. Just straight forward NA romance.
Miss Cotton teased us with a very good opening. I was hooked. Then after the first half, everything went downhill. At the end, I was disappointed with how the story played out.
3 stars

Audiobook read.
I almost missed Bryan and Carrie-Anne’s story. Originally I think this was in a novella and has been extended. After reading Paytons story I was desperate to find out what happened to her friend Bryan.
These two are complete opposites. Carrie-Anne is a good girl; nerd, wallflower and headstrong. Bryan is a football player, and popular jock.
Bryan doesn’t realise how much Carrie-Anne gets under his skin but he’s drawn to her like no other girl. Can these two see what’s right in front of them?
This was sweet. Both need someone and find it in each other. I’m glad I found this missed novella while re-reading the series.

I originally read Bryan and Carrie-Anne’s short story in an anthology over the summer. When the author mentioned she was expanding the story a bit, I couldn’t wait to read it. While there were a few extra scenes in this new edition, I was still left wanting more. I was hoping to get an epilogue of what happened to them after high school but we were left hanging again. I’m hoping once all of the books are released, we will get some type of epilogue for all of the characters.

Took me long enough to read this one but I loved it. If your enjoying this series this is a great addition to it, if you haven't started the series yet I really recommend you start at the beginning to get the full effect of all the characters

Since I first met Bryan in Tragic Lies I’ve been wanting more of him. He is the sweet, happy-go-lucky guy everyone loves. I wanted him to get his hea so bad in the previous books and he finally gets that with Carrie-Anne. Though, his juvenile boy behaviour made me want to put him time out he still managed to make me soon. This is a quick read and I enjoyed every minute.

two stars bc bryan hughes is the love of my life.

This was a cute high school novella! Nice to see the Rixon High gang while adding Bryan and Carrie-Anne’s love story. I kind of wished, though, that their story would have been a little longer because of their ties to Peyton and Kaiden…looking forward to the next story in the series;)

Que mal! Bryan no tuvo su historia larga, pero estuvo bonita.

Hay detalles importantes que fueron omitidos y nuevamente, los protagonistas no tienen química ni comparten momentos significativos. Me aburrí mucho.

man i will go into eternal grief imagining Carrie-anne and Bryan's book. It would be perfect for me to read their development as a couple, them telling each other what they're afraid of, the personality contrast… and l.a Colton took that away from me.
I read their mini novella and man it was so rushed, at one point he didn't even care about her and then out of nowhere he started to like her and then they were in love I know there's no way to make a good development in a mini novella but that's it that they NEEDED to have a book. I don't know what L.a Colton was thinking when she decided not to make a book for them I swear... you read this and you see the potential, you feel the chemistry but it's too little for you to really connect with the couple you know? It was better not to have done anything... because now I keep thinking about what they could have really been and they weren't, unfortunately they weren't... I don't know, I expected and made a standalone just for them, you know? FUCK!

They just weren't developed well or at all and I felt nothing. I know it is a novella but I definitely think we could have skipped the constant reminding of how bad their relationship with their own parents was and have the characters actually bonding over that fact. And I don't know who Peyton is but it almost felt like she was the third main character with how much she was meddling in their relationship and was mentioned. I get it that they both have her as a friend but come on...This could have been way better.

i really liked bryan. he´s so cool and funny but i have to say that the story between him and Carrie Ann felt forced and rushed. i didnt like her very much and i dont know why. maybe because she was so eager for attention that the first time a guy told her he liked her she was "ready" to go all the way for him and felt "alive and wanted". not my favorite

"Party boy, player, goofball...it's not who I am."
"Who are you then, Bryan Hughes?"
"I'm just a guy, falling for a girl."
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, and I’ll always stand by it, L.A Cotton is the GOAT of sports romances. And I take every opportunity I can to get my Raiders fix, because the entire Rixon world will forever be royalty in Sports romances, and I strongly believe nobody can write romance quite the way L.A Cotton can. There's always something so damn beautiful about the way she tells the character's stories, and every time it completely devours me and brings out every emotion I could possibly feel.
Bryan, my lord he was so much more than I could ever hope for. Another thing I always say is that it's always the goofball of the group that's going to render you an emotional wreck, because they're always the ones who feel the most and have the biggest hearts. Bry was no exception. He was at times infuriatingly in denial, he was a classic hotshot Rixon Raiders king, and it took him a minute to finally get his head together and make things right. And when he does, my word be prepared to be knocked on your ass! Such a beautiful boy! He was perfection 🤌🏻
"Kiss me." And I did, wondering if she felt the moment my heart became hers.
And oh my goodness, Carrie-Anne, let me tell you if you've ever in your life felt a bit like an outsider, felt like you're not pretty or worthy, then she's going to tug at your heart strings, not ashamed to admit that she made me hella emotional because you can really relate to her and feel every doubt she has. But she's a tough cookie, she's stubborn and untrusting but her and Bryan's journey is so fricken beautiful!
"But this is all just a game..."
"No, kitty cat, it isn't. It's really, and I think that terrifies you. You were the curveball I didn't see coming."
So if you're having Rixon Raiders and Rixon High withdrawal symptoms, then go escape in Bryan and Caz's stunning novella, perfect addition to the rixon world 💙

Carrie - Anne Trombley intelligent with a sarcastic attitude but invisible to everyone, she just wanted to make her mark in her last year .. live her life before her problems at home, but she did not know how to do it, a project that would be her legacy changes everything when Bryan Hughes offers to help her.
Popular, self-centered Bryan Hughes who apparently has everything except the girl he seemed to "love" and some parents who put him first.
Bryan didn't count that a certain weird girl got under her skin when he offered to help her carry out her project out of "pity." That's what he wanted to believe when he offered.
But he doesn't understand why he doesn't stop thinking about her, because everything she does about her draws her attention, I fight for that feeling, refusing to see that it was something else. That she ended up screwing up.
Carrie has felt things for Bryan since she met him but he only seemed to have eyes for Peyton. That he didn't want to consider himself her consolation prize when Bryan began to show interest in her.
I really loved their disputes, that tug of war, the tension between them was felt. That hatred they said they felt for each other.
They were both stubborn in admitting that there was something else going on between them for fear of getting hurt. Bryan's jealousy when they came out or how idiotic he was when he talked too much, but I loved him 💕.
I certainly enjoyed reading the new scenes that author la cotton added, they made me love Bryan more and suffer because his parents don't deserve it 🤧💔. And his love for Carrie-Anne in these scenes showed how she was everything to him. The mutual support that they demonstrated. They should definitely read it 🙌.

Bryan Hughes was a good guy. Funny and loyal, he had a bright future ahead of him playing football at Michigan. He is Kaiden’s best friend. He transferred to Rixon High after their school burned down.
Carrie-Anne Trombley is the prim and proper bookworm. Also like an outcast, senior year is coming to an end and she doesn’t have any real friends or memories to care about.
This story was part of an anthology and then expanded to its own novella. Bryan has been such a likable character in the first two books so I was really happy to see him get his own HEA. As much as I wanted to like this story, I just couldn’t get behind it. Carrie-Anne gets angry after over-hearing Bryan making fun of her but this is after she was mean to him that morning when he tried to reach out. She seems to have all these expectations but hasn’t really done anything for them. I mean even in the end when her parents give her money for college, she can’t even go to a graduation day dinner with them. Especially when Bryan complains non-stop his parents aren’t going to graduation she’s just expected to ditch her parents. Now, Bryan’s parents aren’t negligent for sure but he can’t even sit through one dinner with them!? I mean they are still partying for his nice privileged life. Both of them just came off as spoiled brats to me.

Reckless Games is a short novella that is part of the Rixon High series written by L.A. Cotton. This is a short and sweet high school story with a bit of an enemies-to-lovers vibe to it and can be read as a standalone. This is Bryan and Carrie-Ann's story. If you've read any of the books in this series, specifically Tragic Lies, you would have heard about Bryan. Bryan is a really good guy. He's kind, caring, loyal and patient. Nothing like the other typical jocks you hear about. Carrie Ann is studious and hardworking. These two have a love/hate relationship where Bryan is akways teasing her to get a reaction. When these two get paired to work on the senior's legacy project together, that's when things start to change. Both Bryan and Carrie start seeing different sides of each other and their attraction, chemistry and connection starts to grow.
This was a great quick read and I was happy to see Bryan get his HEA. Can't wait to see what LA has in store for Ashley and Ezra's story.

Reckless Games is an enemies-to-lovers short story, and it was originally published in the Hot Summer School Nights anthology. It has since been expanded and published as the 2.5th book in the Rixon High series. This short story can be read as a standalone romance, although if you’re like me and enjoy knowing all of the backstories, I would suggest reading the series from the beginning. Just know it’s only a suggestion.
Reckless Games tells the story of Carrie-Anne Trombley and Bryan Hughes, and they are complete opposites. Bryan is part of the high school football team, and Carrie-Anne is part of the mathletes, and they don’t have much in common. However, Bryan feels the pull to be around Carrie-Anne and offers to help her with the senior year school project.
With weeks left in their senior year, falling in love is the last thing on either of their minds. However, that's exactly what happened!
Great addition to the series! Loved it!

“You were the curveball I didn’t see coming.” - Bryan Hughes 🖤
Hughes for the WIN!!! In L. A. Cotton’s Reckless Games: A Rixon High Novella, Bryan Hughes finally gets his happily ever after. After meeting Bryan in the Rixon High series, he is the guy who is always getting crushed by unrequited love, but this novella finally pairs him with an unlikely character.
When school girl Carrie-Anne Trombley first meets the popular jock Bryan Hughes aka “Mr. Personality”, the two instantly clash. However, their underlying chemistry soon evolves into a complication, leaving these two opposites convincing one another that they are the perfect match meant to happen. And with that, came some unexpected challenges.
While this short story gives insight into a new relationship, I hope further developments of their relationship are shared in the next Rixon High series—Ruined Hopes—Ashleigh and Ezra’s novel. Can’t wait!!! 💙

Bryan and Carrie-Anne have this relationship where he loves to rile her up and all she wants to do is be left alone but not really. Carrie-Anne is a loner but not of her own making she’s just always been the second choice, the one tossed to the side “too uncool for the cool kids, but not geeky enough for the geeks.” My heart hurt for her because she wanted to be included, wanted friends, wanted to experience things but she was always on the side watching in. Bryan had it all the friends, the nice house, popularity, but it was all just substance because he couldn’t have the girl he wanted nor the family to stand by his side. Total opposites one trying to fit in the other trying to find more. These two have so much they are fighting for feelings, friends, sense of belonging but can they find each other in the end? I feel like there is so much more to hear from these two that I can’t wait to not only see the next book in this series but to hear more about them as a couple.

A Rixon High Novella
L.A. Cotton
POV:Dual
Carrie-Anne & Bryan
This was previously published in the HOT SUMMER SCHOOL NIGHTS ANTHOLOGY which has been expanded with new content.
These two are opposites.
She's yearbook commitee, book smart, invisible. But would like for once to be noticed. She may have had a split second crush on Bryan, then remembered what he's like. He really grates her up the wrong way.
He's on the school's football team, popular, but an after thought by his ever-so-busy parents. He's always thought he slightly irritated Carrie-Anne.
But when they're paired for a project for graduation it's then brought to his attention that he's hurt her and trys to make it up to her.
This was a great wee novella.
It's like their verbal back and forth was foreplay.

This Was A Cute Novella!😍🙏💘
Does Bryan Get His HEA?🙏💘
Reckless Games: Rixon High #2.5
Bryan is still hung up on Peyton although he's really happy she found love. He just wishes he wasn't so alone!😔 Carrie-Anne is so over her Parents. They have done nothing but cause drama as couple & it's continued into their divorce. She wishes she had friends to confide in but that isn't on the cards for her.😕 She's doing the graduation legacy piece for the school which she's supremely proud of!😍
Bryan's parents again put themselves first. Peyton, as a true friend, wants him to find his 'person' & encourages him to see what he's missing. The walls slowly lowering between these two was cute. They offered each other something they weren't getting else where, unconditional support & love!💘🔥 This was a long awaited HEA for good guy Bryan.🌟

God damnit she did it again. L.A.Cotton is the master at high school romances. I read this as part of the Hot Summer School Nights Anthology. And will definitely read the extended version at some point.
This novella is Bryan’s story. I loved Bryan in the Rixon High books. He’s loyal and so caring and my heart broke for him when Peyton didn’t choose him. But I’m so glad cos even though Carrie-Ann needs a good slap up the side of the head at times she’s perfect for Bryan. The chalk to his cheese. I would have liked Sorscha and what’s his face to get their comeuppance but hey in my mind they got bitch slapped from here to next week
Love love loved it! And can’t wait for the next instalment. Rixon is my drug of choice!!

Bryan and Carrie-Ann are total opposites.
Bryan was popular while Carrie-Ann wasn’t, Carrie-Ann didn’t fit in with any of the groups, while Bryan was part of the popular crowd that everyone loved. For a minute Carrie-Ann thought she liked him, but then remembered he was popular and a football player, which she hated.
Bryan knew Carrie-Ann and never thought anything of it she was just there not part of his crowd.
Then they got pushed together when Bryan offered to help with a project and although they hate each other Bryan soon realises that he doesn’t hate Carrie-Ann as much as he thought and sets about to make up for how he’s hurt her.
Bryan was popular while Carrie-Ann wasn’t, Carrie-Ann didn’t fit in with any of the groups, while Bryan was part of the popular crowd that everyone loved. For a minute Carrie-Ann thought she liked him, but then remembered he was popular and a football player, which she hated.

I first met Bryan in tragic lies and since then I've wanted to know more about him. I absolutely love him, and was so happy when he found his hea with carrie-anne. I listened to this on audible and the narrators were brilliant they brought the story to life in a way that a book never could. Don't get me wrong, I've read this and it was brilliant but my emotions are so much more vivid when I listen.
I absolutely love this series and all that's in it.

Sweet novella.
“You were the curveball I didn’t see coming.” - Bryan
Playboy, class clown, Bryan has always sat in the background with Rixon’s couples
“I wanted to tell other kids—kids like me—that it’s okay to be the invisible one.” - Carrie-Anne
Unnoticed, studious, trying to keep it together in her final year, Carrie is Bryan’s opposite. Both click, perfectly.
Quick read. 3.75⭐️

I always deep down wished Bryan would end up with Peyton, because to me he was such an amazing guy. And i loved Peyton's story but i am thrilled that Bryan had his happy ending as well.
What i didnt like is that none of the books mentioned anything about the MCs looks so I had no way of imagining them.
But their story was cute although very fast forward, but since this is a novella its to be expected.
All the books ending hinted at Ashleigh and Ezra's story and I cant wait to dive in.

תיכון ריקסון| ל. א קוטון
סדרת הבת של ריקסון ריידס
אחרי שקראנו על אשר ג׳ייסון וקמרון הגיעה הסדרה על הילדים שלהם.
ושאני אומרת לכן שזה תיכון שיש בו הכל.
אז באמת היה פה הכל מהכל.
משחקים פזיזים
על בריאן (שהכרנו בספר הקודם) וקארי אן.
בחור פופולרי והנערה השקטה שמתחברים ומגלים שהם יותר טובים ביחד מבנפרד.
שמחתי שבריאן קיבל סוף טוב אחרי הספר הקודם שגילנו כמה חבר טוב הוא.
פוטבול, תיכון ואהבה ראשונה שפשוט כיף לקרוא!!

The HEA I was waiting for.
I've been a fan of Bryan's since Off Limits, and was super excited for his story.
Reckless Games did not disappoint. I adore Bryan and Carrie-Anne together.
While the drama wasn't as intense as the rest of the Rixon books, it was enough to keep me invested, and the perfectly summed up Bryan and Carrie-Anne.
