Reckless – An Anthology

Hot…HOT…H O T ~ You know that fantasy you might have had from time to time that had you doing something naughty and totally out of keeping with your normal day to day choices? Perhaps a little bit reckless? Perhaps something you might have done in the past but not in the present? Well, this book has four such wonderful rather steamy stories that had me on the edge of my seat unable to stop reading. Whew! I hope YOU enjoy them all as much as I did!

LAYLA’S CHANCE by Mika Jolie
Passed over for partnership in her law firm and needing to get away from Chicago Layla finds herself in Martha’s Vineyard regrouping. Little did she know that the hot younger man she literally bumped into would be the person that would make the huge difference in her life she so needed – that is – if she is willing to trust, listen to her guy and take a leap toward what she truly wants.

DIRTY MARTINIS by P.M. Carson
A dirty martini is a tasty drink and this is one tasty story! If online dating is really like this story and I were single I would sign up in a heartbeat! Drew and Rachel met, texted, sexted and got to know one another online before meeting in real time. When they did the heat level and connection was off the charts. Neither wants a relationship. Both are workaholics. Both have secrets. Both want deeply but getting to their HEA is not easy. Not easy but oh so worth reading!

INTO THE DEEP by Kylie Stewart
Gemma has headed home after deciding it was time to move on. She was married less than a day and has been divorced several months when she meets Grayson while checking out his home as a potential house to make her own. The two meet again and agree to one night together little knowing that one night would not be enough. Grayson is significantly older than Gemma but that doesn’t make a difference to the two of them as they work toward finding their HEA.

THE SPY WHO KISSED ME by Sharla Lovelace
Another lawyer story but this time the story is quite different from the other in this anthology. Ava has also been passed over for partnership but a choice she makes puts her life on the line and Dominc, ex-CIA, feels an obligation to keep her safe. What a ride this couple takes before they can realize what they both so deeply want and need.

Thank you to Sharla Lovelace (and the other authors) for the opportunity to read this ARC – I have found three new authors I would not have heard of without reading this anthology and look forward to reading more by all four of these authors in the future.
