Something Real is a continuation of the Reckless and Real series and intended to be read after Something Reckless. This book concludes Liz and Sam’s story.

After everything blew up on Christmas, Liz walked away from me, and I let her. She said she needed space and a chance to pursue her dreams. But we both knew she was running from the mess she made.

Now the political campaign she used as an excuse to leave is bringing us back together and I’m proving to her what she really needs—not just the hot nights, greedy hands, and undeniable physical chemistry. What she really needs is something real. What she really needs…is me.

BOOK 1: SOMETHING RECKLESS (Liz and Sam’s story, includes free novella SOMETHING WILD)

BOOK 2: SOMETHING REAL (Liz and Sam’s story concludes)

Ratings and reviews

This is the final book in the story of Liz and Sam. It has been five months since Liz found out the truth about River and Sam pushed her away. Liz has left New Hope to work on Governor Guy's campaign. Both Liz and Sam are miserable apart, but it doesn't look like they can make things work. Connor shows up at Sam's house to let him know that trouble has hit the fan. Someone has released a sex tape of Sam and a red haired woman. Sam knows that it is not a recent tap, but it has been made to look like it. How did this get leaked and what are they hoping to gain from it? Liz gets thrown back into Sam's life and they just can't seem to stay away from each other. However, Liz still does NOT want to be "the other woman" for anyone. They keep going back to what they know. They were made to be together, but there are forces that are trying to keep them apart. I had a feeling that I knew who released the sex tape, but learning the truth about who released it and why was painful in a way. How certain things can look one way to one person and something totally different to someone else. You don't want to miss this final book in Sam and Liz's story, but Lexi has more stories to tell about the p

Something Real was a wonderful conclusion to Sam and Liz’s story. It was fast paced and you got a real feeling of desperation on both Sam and Liz’s parts – the hopelessness of their situation. Every time you think it’s their time to be together, something happens to widen the gap between them. As a reader, you shout at Sam to tell Liz the truth of his situation, and you shout at Liz to stay strong, and I was so pleased their angst wasn’t prolonged, as the author delivered beautifully! I loved the closeness between Liz, her sisters and Nix – they are such a great supporting cast of characters. I love Lexi Ryan and look forward to the next round of stories from the next New Hope couple!

I just finished reading Something Real by Lexi Ryan and my first impression of the book was WOW, how does she do it? When I finished Something Reckless I was so bummed because I just didn’t think I could wait until March to read the rest of Sam and Liz’s story. Let me tell you it was well worth the wait. Lexi Ryan’s books snatch you up on the first page and don’t let go until you finish the book. Then all you can do is wait for the next one to come out. She captures your interest and the next thing you know you are living the story she is telling. Sam and Liz love each other but have more struggles than a normal couple could possibly handle and the way Miss Ryan tells their story is so compelling that it makes you read through meals, not take phone calls or even socialize because you can’t stop reading the story and need to find out what happens to them. On a scale of 1 to10 this book is a 100!
