#TBT Kelly & Kimberly review Reckless by Skye Jordan – Catch Up From The Beginning

RecklessTITLE: Reckless
SERIES #: Renegades #1
CHARACTERS: Jax Chamberlin & Lexi LaCroix
AUTHOR: Skye Jordan
PUBLICATION DATE: August 23, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A couture wedding dress designer to the rich and famous, Lexi LaCroix’s image means everything. But crossing paths with a sexier-than-sin, bad-boy biker makes Lexi realize how much living she’s sacrificed for her success and one touch is all it takes to threaten her carefully choreographed life. When that touch fills far more than just Lexi’s physical needs, she finds herself torn between the career she needs and the bad-boy she craves.

Jax Chamberlin gave up the superficial life of acting for the thrill of running his own stunt company years ago. But a recent betrayal proves he’s still too close to the limelight to find a woman who doesn’t plan to use him as a stepping-stone to success. When the charming and mysterious Lexi offers him a totally anonymous hook-up during an out of town trip, Jax accepts. Only Lexi is more sextacular than charming, and Jax wants more.

But Lexi’s got a major hang-up over his renegade lifestyle, and Jax isn’t willing to change his ways. Especially not when he discovers who she really is. Because if she finds out his connections could catapult her to the top of her career, he’s afraid the fantasy woman he’s falling for might just end up like all the other gold-diggers. And this time, it’s not just his bad-boy reputation at risk, but his heart, too.

 

KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 Stars Lexi has always been wanted by people. Wanted for her looks, wanted for her designs, but never wanted for who she is deep down. After spotting a very attractive man, Lexi uses her best friends newest security app to find his phone number. Lexi uses this app to send him a couple flirty text. Just a little something to break her out of her shell. Just a little harmless fun.

Jax has been burned one too many times. Everyone always wants something from him. But when Jax gets an anonymous text joking with him about his spilled coffee he finds himself drawn to this stranger and truly enjoyed the flirting back with them. But when he asks to meet her he may have gone to far.

Can Jax & Lexi put the pain of past relationships behind them long enough to trust? Or is this rendezvous in the dark to Reckless?

Guess you will need to pick up a copy to find out.

You know you just read a good book when you finish the book, look over at the clock and realize that it is 2 am. Loved this first book in the Renegades series by Skye Jordan. This story was smoking hot and yet sweet all at the same time.

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
5 Stars I loved this story. I didn’t want to miss one word of it. I loved the connection the characters had right off the bat. I loved the whole first texting scene (oh so much). I loved the angst both characters have. And I love the morale of the story (yes it sorta has a morale). I really just loved this story!

I received this book from NetGalley and for probably the first time I am thinking I need to get this book in print so I can read it again sometime. The writing is very well done. There is such fun in so many of the scenes and even some sadness but it wraps up so well. The writing of the sex scenes was done so well. While sexy it was not over the top. This author is not trying to prove herself by the sex but by the words. Bring on the next Renegade! I am waiting breathlessly!

Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and not a paid review.
