Reckless by Lex Martin is simply stunning. Readers of Lex Marin know to expect an above average read that is not just well-written, but intensely sexy and gripping. Reckless by no means falls short of these measures and some may find a new favorite…

While Reckless is a standalone single -dad, contemporary romance there are elements of the story that you might enjoy more having first read Shameless. Reckless is Tori story…the fiery and fun little sister who’s all grown up. Having a few life lessons under her belt and mature in a way one can only be having learned from your mistakes, Tori placates big sister Kat’s request to become a nanny to friend and neighbor Ethan. Running a farm, a cutting horse business, and being a full time single dad leaves Ethan at the ends of his rope. Needing help and allowing the gorgeous younger sister of his best friends to help with his children seems like both a blessing and a curse. Will the spark between the two ignite into a flame strong enough to overcome all the obstacles Tori and Ethan face? Read Reckless to find out!!!

There are so many things a reader will love about Reckless. This story is engaging…I couldn’t stand to put the book down to function because I was dying to know what came next! The passion between Ethan and Tori is intense and consuming. Written to include the sweetest and the most painful moments their relationship would see, the book doesn’t let up as you are spellbound with all the feels a romance has to offer! The characters, both primary and secondary are amazing! I loved seeing Tori all grown up…even with the sh*t show readers are privy too in the beginning of this book. (You’ll have to read it to understand that comment more *insert evil laugh* ) Ethan was incredible – he’s a combination of your hottest book boyfriend and the boy-next-door that you secretly want to marry. The two kids, Mila and Cody, who immediately stole my heart. And let us not forget Logan! Oh how I am praying to see him in his own book!!! {Lex Martin, if you read this, I AM BEGGING!!! please write Logan’s story!} Another aspect of this book that was a sure win for me, seeing more of Kat and Brady. I am not going to lie, their book is one of my favorites…and while at first glance there are some similarities between Shameless and Reckless, at the core they are very different books.

My love of Lex Martin books is great. But I feel like readers really get exceptionally well-written romances with a mixture of sweet, sizzle and angst that I personally am drawn too. Buy Reckless and read it today – it’s a guaranteed five star read!
