Title: Shameless by Lex Martin
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 26, 2016
Brady…
What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.
Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for Katherine, the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers. Katherine, who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart.
I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things.
Katherine…
When Brady shows up on a Harley, looking like an avenging angel—six feet, three inches of chiseled muscle, eyes the color of wild sage, and sun-kissed skin emblazoned with tattoos—I’m not sure if I should fall at his feet or run like hell. Because if I tell him what happened the night his family died, he might hate me.
What I don’t count on are the nights we spend together trying to forget the heartache that brought us here. I promise him it won’t mean anything, that I won’t fall in love.
I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

Review – 4 Stars
What happened to the good girl who made a guy take her on several dates before she even considered going to first base? Yeah, she took a hike the moment Brady blazed into my life like a wildfire.
As a huge fan of Lex and her fantastic new adult Dearest Series, the prospect of Shameless was an enticing one on two accounts. Firstly, the excitement of new novel and secondly, the knowledge that it would be a foray into adult contemporary.
As always, as well as an engaging plot, it’s her characters that always seem to elevate it from a good novel to a great one. Brady Shepherd is what tattoo having, motorbike-riding dreams are made of. Although a character initially introduced in Finding Dandelion, it’s here in Shameless that he really comes into his own. As the sole guardian to niece, we journey with him as he navigates the huge responsibility thrust upon him. I have to say I was ill prepared for the genuine admiration, affection (and lust) I would harbour for him.
On one hand, Brady is gruff and rough around the edges, and on the other, there’s a tenderness about him that screams husband material.
His aide and support comes in the form of the wonderfully charming, Katherine. As the only link to what he has lost, she becomes more than a confidant and their easy friendship develops into finding solace by other means. Shameless features some of the sexiest scenes I’ve ever reads from Mrs Martin and I can’t help but send a virtual *ass smack* in gratitude. Pardon the pun but I’m shameless in my adoration for this book. Lex Martin delivers a romance with great heart, soul and steam, it was truly my delight to read.
Shameless is an adult contemporary romance/spinoff featuring a character from The Dearest Series, but it can be read as a complete standalone.
