Reckless

Renegades, Book 1

By: Skye Jordan, Joan Swan

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

A couture wedding dress designer to the rich and famous, Lexi LaCroix's image means everything. Raised on the wrong side of the tracks, her years of polish and hard work are finally about to pay off. But crossing paths with a sexier-than-sin, bad-boy biker who makes her realize how much living she's sacrificed for her success, one touch is all it takes for Lexi to turn reckless.

Jax Chamberlin has been screwed over by gorgeous gold-diggers one too many times. Though he runs his own stunt company, all of America knows his Hollywood face even years after he's given up acting. Finding a woman who doesn't plan to use him as a stepping stone to success is virtually impossible, so when the charming and mysterious Lexi offers him a chance at 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 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 rest.

Warning: This audiobook contains uber-hot sexual encounters. For safety's sake, listen along with pitcher of ice-water. Or…wine…

Exciting and sexy

What did you love best about Reckless?

I loved the whole story from the very beginning. The plot was interesting and the characters complex but not complicated. I like the fact that the book is not concentrated only on the two main characters and their relationship. I admire their struggles and ways to reach their own goals. They are truly human beings like everybody else - with their strong and weak sides.
The idea of the casual hook up is not unusual it the romance books, but I have to admit that in this book it was a bit twisted and added a new shade to this kind of experiences. The original idea made it more unique and I was captivated till the very end. I am sorry that it's already finished. I hope that the Audible will soon share the other books from this series (I'm not sure if they are already written).

What other book might you compare Reckless to and why?

I have no idea. I've read / listened to many romance books, but I can't really remember anything like this one - what makes it so captivating and unique.

Which character – as performed by Piper Goodeve – was your favorite?

The main characters - of course, but also Wes and Rubi. Piper Goodeve did a great job performing all the characters with different voices and intonations. I was never confused and listening to her narration was smooth and pleasurable. Male voices were masculine and sexy, female ones were flirty but sublime. Excellent job!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

All the emotions were somewhere engaged during listening to this book. I was touched by the previous experiences of those two, I admired the friendships, laughed at some of the scenes and cried for the others. Really - great book.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for some romantic, sweet and tender story - you've got it! If you're fond of more sexy and hot romance - YOU'VE FOUND IT! If you're interested in s story with interesting plot and characters - THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. Truly - you're always the winner ;-)

Out of touch designer

The main character is a fashion designer who lives & works in Los Angeles, making high end wedding dresses for the pampered Hollywood elite and other rich & famous people of note. Yet...yet, get this, she doesn’t track who’s who in Hollywood and doesn’t even recognize her hook up even though he comes from Hollywood royalty and was putting out blockbusters no less than 3 years ago before he switched careers. Riiight....That weird flaw in the plot kept biting into the fantasy for me. A big part of her job would be keeping track of who’s doing what to whom in Hollywood. Also, she was worried about how some couture house would judge who she dates? Pfft. Bad boy Hollywood royalty would be an asset not a black mark. I mean really, does anybody really believe a couture design house would threaten a designer with an ethical code of conduct over who they date, especially if it’s someone who’s in their earnings demographic? Ridiculous.

Likeable characters & good flow if you don’t mind dismissing above mentioned flaws.
