Clayton Falls series is easily one of my favorite contemporary series ever next to Leaving Paradise series by Simone Elkeles. The previous books in the Clayton Falls series, Derailed and Veer were absolutely amazing. When I saw Wrecked get put up on goodreads and read that it would be Jake's own story I was ecstatic. Jake was one of my favorite characters in the series! So for him to get his own story, was insanely exciting, I really did like Jake's story. But it didn't live up to my expectations after Derailed and Veer (which I rated both 4.5 stars) I still liked it, I just didn't fall in love with it like the previous books.

I'm not sure what exactly it was about Wrecked that made me not like it as much, I just simply did not find myself enjoying as much while reading. I felt Wrecked didn't hold my interest as much, nor have as much passion as Derailed or Veer had.

I still really enjoyed this book though, even if I didn't enjoy is as much as the last two, that doesn't take away the fact that I did still enjoy it. If you have read the other two Clayton Falls books, then you have to read Wrecked. Wrecked shows a side of Jake that we don't get to see in Derailed or Veer, a softer, more caring side, and even a more grown up side to him. Jake was already one of my favorite characters before reading Wrecked, and after reading Wrecked I am totally in love with him!

I am insanely sad that this is the last book in the Clayton Falls series, but also excited at the same time. I felt all the characters I grew to love got the endings they deserved. Alyssa Rose Ivy has proven with this series that she is an amazing contemporary author (well amazing author in general actually) and she is forever going to be a favorite author of mine from now on. I look forward to her all of her upcoming novels.

If you have not yet read the Clayton Falls series, you need to do so now! It is a series that will make you feel connected to the characters, feeling what they feel, and hoping they get the happy ending the deserve, it has romance that is sweet and steamy, and everything else you could ask for in a contemporary romance.
