Reckless at Heart (Kincaids of Pine Harbour #1) by Zoe York

Reckless at Heart (Kincaids of Pine Harbour #1

by Zoe York 

Released: April 21, 2020

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Reckless at Heart is the first book in the Kincaids of Pine Harbour series by Zoe York.  I actually read the third book first as a standalone and enjoyed it so much I had to start at the beginning of the series.  The books were fine as standalones, but I found them to be so much better reading them in order.  I loved the Kincaid family and all the other characters from Pine Harbour when I first meet them, and they have become one of the series to hit the top of my TBR stack as they become available. The book was a slow-burn romance that was well written, easy to read, and had realistic characters.  

Firefighter Owen Kincaid became the head of the Kincaid siblings when he was twenty-one.  Now he has plans for his bachelor’s life after his two younger brothers moved out and his daughter is about to graduate from high school and moves out.  His plans crash when his eighteen-year-old daughter tells him she is pregnant.  He is concerned because he knows what it is like to be eighteen with a baby.  While readjusting his plans to have a grandchild, he meets Kerry who is off-limits because of who she is and because she wants a relationship with a future.

Midwife Kerry Humphrey moved to Pine Harbour to expand their practice with her partner.  She loves the community and the friendships she has made but Owen is too tall, grumpy, and too handsome.  She might not like him, but her body feels differently but he is all wrong for her.  She knows he does not want a relationship and she is wanting a family.  

This was such a wonderful book to start the series and I already know this is a series I will reread in the future.  It is low-angst with charming characters that I can’t wait to see again in future books.

The Blurb:

"Daddy, I'm pregnant."

The last three words Owen Kincaid ever wanted to hear from his teenage daughter. The firefighter knows how hard it is to have a kid when you're still a kid yourself. He did it, and now eighteen years later, history is repeating itself. To say he's beating himself up is an understatement. The last thing he needs is to fall head-over-heels in lust with his daughter's midwife.

Kerry Humphrey hates her new client's father. She has no reason to hate him, except for the fact he's tall and brooding and always there, hovering in the background of appointments. And the crackle of chemistry every time their eyes meet. She hates that, too.

Everything about their attraction is ill-fated. But it won't go away. Maybe, for one night, they can be… Reckless at Heart.
