He left his girlfriend behind to become a Marine. He fought beside his best friends in Iraq and came home to find he had a nine-month-old daughter and his girlfriend was dead. Becoming a dad wasn’t on Collin’s radar yet, but he is determined to be the best father ever. With the help of his two best friends, Gavin and Max, these three alpha males will bring their own brand of childcare together to raise little Chloe.

Do you all remember the film three men and a baby? I love that film so when I read the blurb for this book I was ecstatic to get my hands on it.
I like the authors writing style but it just wasn’t enough to get me to continue. It started out really strong and I was sure this was going to be a winner but there was just too much antagonism between the heroine and the Hero.

This is the first time reading this author for me. I was so engrossed in the story, I didn't want it to end!
Collin and Addie have an enemies to friends to lovers tale. Moody, alpha, single dad--ex-military, who has had his share of tragedy. Addie does not take his bossy attitude and turns him down repeatedly. When things finally start to look better--Addie is working for Collin--they both agree that there is more to be explored in their relationship.

This sweet, sexy, heartfelt story ticked all the boxes! Hot alpha males? Check. Sassy, independent heroine? Check. Swoon-worthy romance? Check. Amazing character development? Check, check, check!
I totally LOVED Reckless Hearts and it was a great introduction to this amazing author and I cannot wait to read the next installment.

3.5 Stars.
I liked the story in this book.. I loved all of Collin's friends (especially Gavin) and i loved Addy and little Chloe too.. All the characters were pretty cool.
However, i felt this book draggggggged a lot..i mean the plot is pretty simple but there was a lot of back and forth and misunderstandings in the first 40% of the book..
Still though, it was a decent book..i cant wait to read about Gavin..i hope his story is next.

I ripped through this sweet, sexy, emotional read from Heather Van Fleet! Oh Collin... sigh... he's a bossy pants, ex-military, emotionally struggling, rugby playing, single-father hottie. When sexy Addison, also troubled by her past, takes a job as his nanny, she sparks something in him that he hasn't felt for a long time. I loved this book. I can't wait for the next in the series.

I was fortunate to get my hands on an early copy of RECKLESS HEARTS. Van Fleet gives seriously good alpha. Her characters are perfectly flawed, the heat level nears scorching, and the bromance? The banter between these boys is perfection. I can't wait for the next books in this series!!!

Collin left behind the woman he loved to become a marine and serve his country, little did he know he was also leaving a child behind too. While he is fighting overseas his girlfriend lost her life, and it killed him to not be able to attend her funeral and say goodbye, but duty called. Once he arrived home he got the surprise of his life, he had a nine month old daughter waiting for him, which meant he had a whole new mission ahead of him, being a single, first time father, which was completely

Addison has just lost her job and she needs to find something soon, otherwise she will be homeless. She has an interview for a position as a nanny for a baby girl, but when she arrives she discovers the person who's looking for someone to take care of his daughter Chloe is Collin, a man she met briefly on a night out. He tried to hit on her and help her out, but she left before he could do anything. Instead of a friendly approach Collin is rude to Addison. He is scared because she makes him feel

WOW! What a series! A MUST-READ!
I read an early version of this book and fell in love with the characters right from the start. This series... where do I begin? First off let me just say that I love getting into the head of a male character and Heather Van Fleet can nail a male POV like no other. The alternating POV is one of the many things I loved, loved, loved about this book. The characters are amazing! I felt their joy, their pain. When they ached so did I. These three guys are bachelors tr ...more

Occasionally, I think I am the only one. Everyone but me loves something, and I am the one standing there wondering what I missed.
In this case, the only character I found tolerable was Chloe. The 8 month old baby.
Collin was a jerk. Max and Gavin, complete jerks as well.
Addison, well, she was a whiny doormat...except when she was yelling, making scathing comments to all of the guys, or telling them how terrible they were...before whining about some ...more

Mostly I felt this was inconsistent. The characterization was inconsistent. People reacted to things in a wonky manner much of the time. The story line didn't really have a strong clear path. Passage of time was inadequately addressed. The hero was better developed than the heroine. The heroine for example was Philippine but she was tall and her name was Addison? Explain that to me. As far as I know Philippine people are generally short. Some explanation of why she isn't would be nice. She was b

Love,love,love a baby daddy story.
Reckless hearts had everything I love in a romance read with the added bonus of an Alpha male like Collin, friends that are like family and swoon-worthy moments.
Collin is an ex marine and shares a house with his 2 friends who were also in the forces and his 8 month old daughter Chloe.
It's like 3 men & a baby, I loved the banter with the guys and the swoon worthy moments with their little Beaner as they called her.

Man, this book. It wrecked me. I loved how real it was--seriously I wanted to be friends with every single character in this story. Collin was so sweet with his daughter (and with Addie!!) and I loved to see the rough, rugged side of him as well--I mean, hello there, hot ex-marine. I loved how Addie was strong-willed, capable, funny, and didn't take any shit from Collin. Their chemistry was off the charts and I adored their story. I highly rec this book <3

marked it as not-interested
ugh..there seems to be an influx of dead spouse/ex story lines all of the sudden
In the beginning I started to wonder if Collin and Addison would ever get together. Boy when they finally do, it's so hot. Didn't matter where they were, it was as if no one else was in the room but them. Can't wait to see if Gavin and Max find the same kind of happiness.

Funny, Romantic and Hot
Reckless Hearts will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Collin and Addison's love story will make you laugh, cry and believe in a love like no other. Her characters are grounded and multifaceted in a way that makes every word so much more than writing on a page - every bit of this heart warming story will leave you wanting more. ...more

I loved following Addison and Collin on their sweet and sexy journey to love. They’re the kind of characters you root for and can’t put the book down because you want to see their story through. Reckless Hearts didn’t disappoint! I can’t wait to read the next in the series.
If you love alpha males, this book should be on your tbr list!
This super steamy romance has so much heart and characters that are heartbreakingly human. They felt so real I could honestly name people I know who are just like them.
I swear I read half of this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next book! ...more

This is my first book by the author. I loved the whole concept...three ex-marines and best friends and a baby. Collin lives with his best friends Max and Gavin and has a eight-month old Chloe. Chloe's mother died in a car crash. His friends and sister Lia help him with the baby but its not enough. He needs a nanny and fast!!

Give me more of this series NOW. Van Fleet hit a home run with me. She managed to introduce me to three guys- Collin, Max and Gavin, baby Chloe, nanny Addison and make me want more.
Was it perfect? Nah. Collin drove me batty here and there and Max and Gavin both need their heads examined but all in all, this one really worked for me. I'm looking forward to the next book to see how Van Fleet brings this crew along. ...more

Oh my goodness!!! This was really an amazing love story. I just love how the H and h's love started over time. They really liked each other from the start (without showing it towards each other), but it was not instant love. Collin was such a good father. His two friend was just perfect with Chloe. This book really reminded me of the movie Three men and a baby. I highly recommend this book.

I really loved this book. Never a dull moment where this book was concerned. The 3 best friends trying to raise a baby had me laughing and then crying. It was very special and so glad it ended the way it did.

Reckless Hearts by Van Fleet is a must read! Collin, an ex-military alpha, has met his match in sweet, head-strong Addison. What first drew me to this story? The similarities to the film, Three Men and a Baby. Cute movie, right? Well, this book is even more amazing. Three men, former military hotties, all pitching in to help their fellow man, Collin raise his sweet little girl, Chloe. Swoon, right? Add in a feisty and currently unemployed preschool teacher, desperate for a job, and you've got a

Very sweet and low angst.
Many will love this book but by the same hand many will find it it flat. If you seek big drama sows from exes and baby mama drama you will be sadly disappointed.
