Title: Reckless
Author: Lex Martin
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 20, 2018
Tori…
For the record, I’m
not going to hook up with my boss.
I'm a lot of
things—a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be
near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I’ll walk the straight and narrow,
which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.
I don't want to be
tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or
the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won't get the key to my
heart, no matter how much I want him.
Ethan…
Between us, she's
the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce.
What sane man trying
to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles,
and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn't notice.
My focus is on my
kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to
mine. It doesn't matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my
life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can't have and shouldn't
want, no matter how much I crave her.
I absolutely loved how Tori and Ethan met. I loved how neither of them really wanted her for the job, but out of necessity she got the job. Tori was amazing with Ethan's kids. She fit right in seamlessly and they loved her. And that was great to see, that she really found her place and she was good at what she was doing. In the description of the book, she describes herself as "a screwup, a basket case, a flunky" book working with Ethan's kids, she was the complete opposite.
I loved watching the Friendship develop between Ethan and Tori. And then later watching romantic feelings develop. I love that it didn't feel rushed and that Ethan respected her enough that he wanted his divorce completely finalized before anything happened with Tori. With that said, when things finally do get physical... The scene was both hilarious and hot.
I hated Ethan's wife / ex wife. I knew she was going to be trouble right along, I just didn't anticipate how much trouble. And I won't spoil it but there was a Twist that I did not see coming and I literally gasped out loud when the twist happened later in the book.
I'll admit, I haven't read the first book in the series. And going into this I was a little worried that I would be lost considering this is a companion book. But this totally stood on its own. So if you haven't read the first book don't worry about jumping right into this one. I definitely recommend reading this because it was such a good story.
