Author: Lex Martin

Blurb:

Reckless features Tori and Ethan and is a standalone companion to the USA Today bestseller Shameless.

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.

Review:

Tori is 23- after dropping out of college because of a failed relationship, partying too hard, and her life spiralling out of control- she needs to get her life back together. When her sister suggests taking a job at her neighbors house to become the nanny- and be close to her pregnant self- Tori reluctantly agrees to the interview. Things start off shaky, but decides to accept the job on a trial run. 

Ethan is 28- after being seperated from his wife, who is now filing for divorce, he needs all the help he can get around his ranch to help him with his two kids- especially since his mom, who helps watch the kids is going away for a couple months to be with her sister. When Logan suggests Tori- their friend and neighbor Brady's sister-in-law, Ethan reluctantly agrees to interview her. After things start off to a rocky start, he agrees on a trial run, while looking for other options. 

Who knew that his two kids were take to her so fast? She was going above and beyond her job- but can they fight the insane attraction they have to each other to keep things professional- with Tori's track record in men, and Ethan's divorce being finalized- they couldn't possibly jump into anything serious right now, could they? 

This book was sweet and full of southern charm, and loads of drama. The uncertainty of it all, and insecurities. I really enjoyed this book. It was fun, sweet, sexy, charming and had that touch of drama. And bonus- hot single dad rancher! 😉
