RECKLESS DESIRE by Maxine Henri

Release Date: July 19

A charming billionaire single dad. A teacher with commitment issues. Can a failed one-night stand lead to a lasting relationship?

The rules are as follows: no backstory, no intimacy. 

I've never wanted to break them... Until her. 

I work a job I never would’ve chosen to cover my sister’s medical bills. I stick to my rules to not blur the lines between reality and fantasy.

Then a reluctant client walks into my life and changes everything but she slips through my fingers... 

Three years, one staggering inheritance and an adoption later, I walk into my daughter’s classroom and the woman I worked hard to forget stares at me wide-eyed. 

Chemistry sizzles between us. 

This time, I won't allow her to get away. 

This time, she’s mine... whether or not she's ready.


My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:


Reckless Desire is part of the Reckless Billionaires series.  This was a new-to-me author, and I am so glad I got the chance to read the book.  The characters were likable, and I loved their first meet.  Caro was adorable and was such a sunshiny character even after all the heartbreak she had been through. 

After her dead husband’s betrayal, Sydney pulls away from everyone, so she won’t be hurt again.  Her sister thinks it is time she gets back out there, and gives her a birthday present to remember, much to her dismay. Sydney felt a connection to Hunter but thought she would never see him again.  A few years later, to her surprise his daughter is in her class. 

Hunter had come to terms with his life choices.  He gave up dating but after meeting Sydney, he wishes it could be different.  She had left a mark on him and discovering she is his daughter’s teacher was a surprise.  He is determined to keep her this time.

Sydney’s plans for her life had been ripped away with her husband’s betrayal and I loved watching her grow and finally let down her guard enough to allow Hunter to be a part of her life.  Hunter was such a great guy and gave up so much for his family.  I was happy to see him finally find happiness.  I loved meeting some of the Cassinetti-Lowe family and hope to read more of their stories in the future.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
