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.
Three words: Sexy. Single. Dad.
The single father and the nanny is a trope I will always get behind so of course I was excited to get my hands on this number. Not forgetting to factor in the fact it’s written by a much liked author of mine, and I was all but looking forward to diving in.
Tori is the younger sister who whether it be school, jobs or relationships never quite seems to get it right. She’s at a crossroads in her life and her wonderful elder sister has once again come to her rescue. She’s spending the summer babysitting for a rancher who is going through a bitter divorce and needs help wrangling his home life.
There’s a clash in personalities when the two first meet and it’s not quite the harmonious working conditions she had hoped for. It doesn’t help matters that he sets her pulse racing for reason she’d rather not explore.
Ethan needs help. He’s struggling to keep his business running smoothly as well as create a secure environment for his children. He has an acrimonious relationship with his ex-wife and her absence from his children’s lives keeps him in a perpetual bad mood. The last thing he needs is a teenage like crush he has on his children’s nanny, why that’d just be reckless.
They were many things I enjoyed, for example the relationship between Tori and the kids, as well as the one she had with their father, but I felt what kept it from being a runaway success was the addition of drama I felt was slightly over the top.
RECKLESS can be read as a standalone but if you haven’t read the first novel in the series – Shameless – I’d really recommend you do.
