Reckless: A Small Town Single Dad Romance (Texas Nights Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Lex Martin (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 4,050 ratings
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

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.

* * *

Reckless is a standalone companion novel to the USA Today bestseller Shameless. Each book features a different couple.

  1. But he doesn’t answer my question. He merely takes my arms, winds them around his neck, and tugs me flush against his body. His big, hard body. Mmm. That deep voice rumbles in my ear. “Your sister told me where I could find you.” He kisses my temple. “I came for you. To find you.”

  2. As I’m walking my mom out, I pause in the doorway to look at my kids, who are playing with Tori like nothing happened. Only one thought comes to mind—thank God she’s here.

  3. Why I can’t seem to catch my breath. Almost as if… Almost as if I like him. Sweat breaks out on my back, and I sink back in my seat. This is completely unacceptable. I can’t like a man, especially this man. I will not be charmed by Ethan Carter or his big blue eyes and rough edges.

    This was my first Lex Martin book and I got to say I enjoyed it immensely I was hooked from the beginning. Ethan and Tori get off on the wrong foot before he swallows his pride and offers her the nanny job they quickly fall into an easy routine before finding they have more in common, tori is insecure due to her past relationships and Ethan has a divorce going on and an ex wife that won’t quit but somewhere in there they find love. It’s funny quirky and romantic

    Gotta love it when the cowboy gets his girl!! Especially after all the drama!
    Ethan, single dad of two trying to keep his family business afloat all while going through a divorce. With a bitch for an ex, (just saying), a business to run & his kids to care for, he is stretched thin.
    Tori is the little sister of his friends from up the road. Their first meeting doesn't go well but could she be just what he needs in more ways than one.

    I really liked this book & am off to download Shameless! Highly recommended

    Loved Tory & Ethan. They make a great couple and the children were a joy to read about. It's all about life and love and what happens when you're trying to do the best you can. Ethan has a divorce looming and two adorable children to look after. He has a horse ranch that requires him to work hard and long hours. Ethan's brother and mother are there to lend a helping hand.
    Besides his children he has little to be happy about. Until Tori. She adds so much to his and to his children's lives. There is a happy ending but they all have to go through all the hoo haa to reach it.

    Firstly, I want to give Lex my heartfelt thanks for sending me an arc of this book. I cannot express enough my appreciation to her sweetness and thoughtfulness.

    Secondly, I want to ask Lex not to take too long in releasing a book! It’s been ages since I read a book of hers and I really miss her writing! No wonder, when the arc landed on my kindle, I immediately dived in and devoured her book like it’s my last meal!

    Reckless was everything I look forward to a book by hers! It’s funny, genuine, lighthearted and really entertaining! With all the angsty books left and right, it’s definitely like an oasis in the middle of a desert.

    Tori, who is Kat’s sister from the book Shameless, has a playful nature and I love that about her. She’s good with kids and I love that she cares for her sister so much that she will do anything for her to be near her.

    Ethan is a single dad that is undergoing a really bad divorce. I love that he’s a responsible dad and that he loves his kids so much, he’s willing to do anything for them so he can save the ranch, the source of their income, which was left by his dad.

    If this book is a meal, it’s sumptuous enough to be a feast. It has all the flavorful and delicious food for the book-hungry.
    Single dad, check
    Adorable kids, check
    An annoying but really caring brother, check check (By the way, I really want a Logan book! Please make it happen Lex!)
    A mom who likes to tease, check again
    Another protective brother (hi Brady!), check once more
    Appearance of a lovable pet, check once again
    A feisty, funny and super loving heroine a big fat check!

    What more could you ask for? This book is definitely an enjoyable ride and you’ll absolutely have fun reading this.

    I love all Lex’s books! I suggest to check out her other books. All of them can be read as standalone. They are worth every penny bec the reading experience is more than pleasant and satisfying.

    Honestly this has to be the absolute best book I have read in a long time!!

    This is a new author to me and I can even begin to describe how utterly AMAZING this story was...hot sexy Nanny....single Dad with 2 wonderful and adorable kids....farm in Texas....what’s not to love about it all...

    I instantly fell in love with these characters...the feisty Tori and so lovable Ethan...these 2 are a match made in heaven...I loved the instant chemistry between, there first meeting was just brilliant!! I loved how all the characters in this story play a big part...some of the characters had me wanting to jump the book just to throttle them....the children in this book just capture your heart big time...who couldn’t not fall in love with these 2 adorable little ones...you just want to hold them and tell them everything will be ok.

    This author has honestly hands down produced a book that had me feel so many emotions....I loved the ending...loved the whole story...my heart was so full and at times I even had a small tear in my eyes....but also at times I just laughed out loud....

    This book definitely deserves 5 🌟 in my eyes deserves so so so much more...I can not wait to read more books from this author....if there anything like this one, I know without a doubt I will absolutely LOVE them. Thank you for an amazing read...
