Readers who enjoyed NOBODY DOES IT BETTER will delight in this new romance by author Julie Kenner. The same warm, flowing style and light hearted humor that marks this wonderful author's prose shines through with dazzling intensity in RECKLESS.

For ten years Rachel has built a new life creating an image of strength and powerful sexuality. The mask had become to convincing, in fact, that she even fooled herself into believing the Belinda Rachel of her childhood bad been banished forever. Now she plans to attend her high school reunion to taunt, tease and leaving hanging the three men she blames most for her miserable childhood. She left her small town of Braemer a fat, shy girl. She returns a svelte sex kitten. Those who were responsible for voting her "Most Likely to Die a Virgin" would be panting for her attention.

In her new life in New York, Rachel always maintained the upper hand, never letting anyone too close. Typically, when a man started to get even remotely close, she dumped him. The one man she dated for a month soon say through her tough veneer and quickly departed rather than live with the vulnerability beneath her exterior. Therefore, she was ill prepared for her reaction to the charismatic, sexy man who rescues her at the side of road.

Garrett was immediately enamoured with the beautiful woman standing over the wounded black lab at the side of the road. Amazed by her resourcefulness, Garrett admired the way she used her pantyhose as an emergency bandage, and quickly put his veterinarian skills to work helping with the hurt dog. When Rachel mistakes him for her high school nemesis, Garrett doesn't volunteer that he's not Carl, but Carl's elder brother. The dazzling woman before him conceals vulnerability that touches his heart, and from the first moment he sees her, Garrett determines to make her a part of his life. Even if he has to help her with her plans of revenge.

RECKLESS will delight romance lovers with his enticing plot and vivid characterization. Kenner has a knack for creating characters that really pull the reader into the story. Walking a bit on the wild side, RECKLESS combines the wanton and the wild with the vulnerable and the shy to create a remarkable tale of love. RECKLESS is very highly recommened!

Miss Kenner has done it once more. Reckless is a sizzler with a fine cast of characters. A heroine who tries to be hard as nails but can't forget her past. A hero who hasn't quite figured Rachel out, and isn't going to quit trying until he does. Watch out, the pages are 212 degrees pure tension when these two are together!

Loved the storyline. Loved the characters. I hope she follows up with another book - maybe one with Carl as the main character so we can visit in on how Garret and Rachel turn out.

She came home with a plan ...

Rachel Dean had arranged to make a very sexy statement at her upcoming ten-year reunion!

Still, with the way she revved his libido, he'd have done just about anything to have her ... But the next morning, Garrett knew that one spectacular night wasn't enough. He wanted Rachel in his bed--and his life--for good. Only Rachel still had others to seduce...
