Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Lex Martin is a new-to-me author, and now I’m wondering why the heck I’ve never read any of her work before! Reckless clicks all the boxes in the grumbly single dad/hot nanny trope, but there is just *something* about Ethan and Tori’s story that sets it apart from many of the others in this genre that I’ve read. What that is, exactly, I don’t really know I could tell you! I just know that this story spoke to me.
Ethan tries so hard to be a gentleman, despite his grouchy demeanor, and Tori is trying so hard to put her life back together after a series of really bad decisions. Together, they just work! The cuteness overload courtesy of his kids, Mila and Cody, certainly helped cement my desire for these two to get together, despite all of his cray cray ex-wife’s machinations to keep them apart. And I’m pretty good at figuring out a plot twist… but I didn’t quite see that one coming! Thankfully, The Crisis that splits Ethan and Tori apart doesn’t last for long, and this couple gets a wonderful HEA. Because we all want that for our book boyfriends, right?

She loves printing black and white photos, listening to music on vinyl,
and getting lost in a great book. Bitten by wanderlust, she’s lived all
over the country but currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and twin
daughters.
