Three alpha men and a
baby.
What could possibly go
wrong?
From boot camp to the
Iraqi desert, best friends Collin, Max, and Gavin have been through hell and
back. But these rugged Marines might need help facing their biggest challenge:
raising Collin’s nine-month-old daughter, Chloe.
After the death of his
girlfriend in an accident, Collin Montgomery has sworn off serious
relationships. His buddies have his back—and convince him it’s okay to cut
loose sometimes. Enter the hottest, smartest girl he’s ever met. But what he
really needs is a nanny.
Addison
Booker needs a job desperately—and fast. She shows up to interview for the
nanny position only to find the sexy, cocky man she can’t get out of her head.
Collin knows hiring her is a bad idea—they disagree about almost everything—but
Addison is so good with little Chloe. And there’s no substitute for chemistry,
right?
Reckless Hearts is the first in a series about 3 men who band together to raise a baby. Collin's world changed when the mother of his baby is killed in an accident and he has to leave the military to raise his daughter. All he needs is his girl and two friends in his life. What he didn't plan on was falling for his daughter's new nanny.
I thought this was a cute story. Both Addison and Collin were flawed and had baggage, but that made them more believable. I loved that Addison was the more wary one of the relationship. I also appreciated that both characters were given time to get to know each other before the "I love yous". It helped me as a reader get to know them as a couple enough to buy into the romance. I do recommend picking this one up. It's a quick read and will draw you right in. I look forward to seeing Gavin and Max get their stories as well.

Enjoy this excerpt!
To
curb the anxiety brewing hot inside me, I grabbed Addie by the wrist and
marched her to the door.
“Hey,
watch it.” She clawed at my hand, only making me want to hang on tighter.
“What
is your deal, Collin?”
“It’s
time for you to go.” I kept hold of her arm, but not as tight, and grabbed her
coat, shoving it against her chest.
“What’d
I do this time?” She lifted her chin—always lifting her damn chin. Taking pride
to a level I wasn’t even capable of most days anymore.
“Nothing.”
I let go of her arm, my hands itching to grab her and pull her close.
Instead,
I walked to the door and unlatched the lock.
“Oh
no. Don’t think so, buddy.” She threw her coat and her hat onto the floor,
crossing her arms just under her breasts. “If I’m going to work for you, we need
to set some ground rules.”
I
tightened my hands into fists, fingernails digging into my palms. One step
forward, then two, and she was in front of me, one eyebrow arched. Her curled
lips saying I won’t back down. And damn I didn’t want her to. She messed with
me, all fire and sass. And it made me fucking hot.
“You
are the most ungrateful son of a bitch I’ve ever met in my life, and if you
really and truly want me to be your child’s nanny, then you better cut the
attitude or else I’m gonna—”
“Stop
talking.” Couldn’t help myself. I had to do it. So I grabbed her waist and
yanked her to my chest, while clutching the bottom of her shirt with my other
hand. Eyes wide and lips parted, I took what I wanted and kissed her. Hard.
Unforgivingly. Relentlessly.
And
holy shit.
I
mean, holy.
Shit.
That
kiss was so much. But it wasn’t enough—never would be enough either. Not until
I had her against the wall, touching her anywhere she’d let me touch her. Skin
on skin, flesh on flesh. Just once, that’s all I’d ask for. I wasn’t a greedy
man, just needy and desperate for the only woman who’d ever mind-fucked me
before she actually fucked me.
Fighting
against every instinct I had, I used my tongue to explore, only to feel her
arms wrap around my neck and her fingers dig into my scalp in response.
With
her reaction, my restraint snapped in half.
