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.

Reckless is Ethan and Tori's story, it's a sweet, sexy and heartwarming second chance love story. Although this title features Kat and Brady from Shameless, it can easily be read as a standalone.
Ethan is a hard working, single father to Mila and Cody. Whilst he's very much a manly man, and a bit rough around the edges, this alpha is incredibly affectionate, loving and kind to those he cares for most. He's honorable and loyal, and a little bit guarded. He's desperately trying to run his family ranch and is generally overwhelmed by life.
Tori is Ethan's friends younger sister. He's desperate for a nanny to care for his children, she's trying to escape her past mistakes. Tori is determined to succeed, and she incredibly genuine, hardworking and loving. She's smart, sweet, sassy and fun, and over the course of this title you really see her character develop, grow and mature.
Both Tori and Ethan have been unlucky in love and both are quite guarded. Tori's experiences has made her both vulnerable and insecure. To begin with this pair butt heads and their interactions and banter are full of sass, snark and sarcasm. But as time goes on they form a friendship and the chemistry between this pair is undeniable. Although their path to finding a happy ever after is not entirely smooth, the connection this pair share is both passionate, steamy and full of heat. I thoroughly enjoyed both their antagonistic relationship and the humor filled one liners.
Overall I highly recommend this title to anyone who enjoys a single father trope, it's incredibly well written, but most of all entertaining and very engaging, and boy do I hope we get Logan's story at some point in the future.
