The Perfect Sultry Fix for an Afternoon Romp! With a CAPITAL~~~H.O.T.!

Nikki's been infatuated with J.T. since the night he brought the devastating news that her mother will not be returning home. That she has skipped town with her latest, "boy toy." Leaving Lucas and Nikki to fend for themselves.
Now Nik...more

HA HA sucks to be J.T.! I found this e-book yesterday morning while I was checking out the "shop" on my Nook. The synopsis alone was enough to make me break my book buying ban.
Reckless is about a small town sheriff (the towns name is Barley...yes like Oats and Barley.) named J.T. who is trying really hard to fight his lust and feelings for his best friends little sister Nikki. Now Nikki on the other hand is absolutely determined to make him hers, even though he's 12 years older than her...Failur...more

I really did not like the first one in this series. it pretty much made me cringe. this one was a complete opposite of that one. ok so the woman in the story was pretty determined to get what she wanted, but it didn't rub me the wrong way like the other one did.
down side - it made me miss the pink stripe i had in my hair once upon a time. you know, like 12 years ago. the book made me feel old. boo on that.

ARGH. My review disappeared.
So…While I liked JT a lot from Brazen, and was happy to see him get his own happy ever after, I felt the story would have worked better as a full-fledged novel. If this story had been fleshed out more (ha ha), I think Nikki wouldn't have felt so stalkerish and JT's capitulation head first into being in love wouldn't have seemed so abrupt.

This book was okay. It was a quick read. I felt sorry for JT. What was he supposed to think with his best friends younger sister coming on to him so strong. Who in their right mind wouldn't think she was just wanting a good time? Who would think she was a virgin? If she loved him and wanted a real relationship she went about it the wrong way. Then for everyone to treat JT like some huge jerk really annoyed me.
What a fun little story! Nikki Durham has loved her brother's best friend Sheriff J.T. Summers for a long time. It's time for him to notice her so she sets out to seduce him at every turn. This was a great short story with a HEA, lots of unresolved sexual tension and some really smoking hot smexy scenes. What a fun way to spend an hour or two.
