RECKLESS BY LEX MARTIN-RELEASE BLITZ



Title: Reckless
Author: Lex Martin 
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 20, 2018

Blurb

Tori…

For the record, I’m not going to hook up with my boss.

I'm a lot of things—a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I’ll walk the straight and narrow, which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.

I don't want to be tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won't get the key to my heart, no matter how much I want him.

Ethan…

Between us, she's the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce.

What sane man trying to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles, and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn't notice.

My focus is on my kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to mine. It doesn't matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can't have and shouldn't want, no matter how much I crave her.



Whew. This was an emotional read. There was so much for Ethan and Tori. You wanted things to be better for each of them, you like them, you sympathize with them, and you want all of the good things to happen to them. You are angry at the things that happen to them, frustrated with them, there is some angst, and there are moments when Ethan shows just how much Tori means to him that just leave you a little in love with him, and how much he cares for her.

Ethan is a good guy. The way he treats Tori, the way he respects her, the way he loves her for who she is and appreciates her, it's wonderful. Tori is a handful, and there have been some things in her life that have made her feel that who she is as a person isn't quite good enough. I loved that Ethan doesn't see this. Yes, he sees her faults, but he doesn't want her to be anything but who she is.

There is a lot going on. Kids, brothers, ex wives and boyfriends, sisters and parents. It could have felt crowded, but the secondary characters were balanced well and really didn't feel like there was too much time spent with them.

Tori and Ethan have chemistry. They strike sparks against one another from the beginning...although, Ethan's first appearance might have been the hottest first impression of any hero, ever. They fight the chemistry and there is a lot of them ignoring and pretending they don't feel the attraction.

The night under the stars is hot, and romantic, and different, and I loved not only the way it was handled, but the glimpse into how much Ethan really feels for Tori by his actions and the things he does, and doesn't do. I loved the choices he makes for her, the things he does out of respect for Tori and the relationship they are building.

I enjoyed this book, and I recommend it.

ALL ABOUT THE D BY LEX MARTIN AND LESLIE MCADAM-RELEASE BOOST






A sexy new romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Lex Martin and bestselling author Leslie McAdam…


ALL ABOUT THE D


I'm known for being formal. Meticulous. Professional. 

So you’d never suspect I spend my nights photographing my impressive junk for a NSFW blog. Don’t roll your eyes. I’m not bragging. I have millions of followers who’ll tell you they live for my posts. 

I’m like a superhero, saving humanity one dick pic at a time. 

Except leading a double life means I need someone to help me protect my anonymity, so that no one, especially my family, ever discovers my online celebrity. 

When I call one of the most respected law firms in town, I expect quality legal advice and confidentiality. Not a sinfully sexy attorney whose dangerous curves and soul-piercing gray eyes make me want to personally demonstrate my particular skill set. 

I shouldn’t be tempted. 

Especially when she knows all of my best-kept secrets. But everyone has a breaking point. And I’ve met mine.

Leslie McAdam

Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves - even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it's Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She's unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement.

Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she's not in the writing cave you'll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.

Josh was kind of perfect, dick blog aside. Although, that really didn't bother me. What I loved about Josh is that he is a genuinely nice guy. You like him from the beginning, and that always makes a book a pleasure to read.

Evie is wonderful. When I don't like a character in a book, for some reason, it seems to be the women. But in this case, I liked her, her reactions, and overall who she is as a person.

The secondary characters enrich the story, and there is a scene at the end with his family that had me laughing. One of those scenes where, as an adult, you find things out about your family that you never knew when you were growing up. And, this dimension of his otherwise stuff y family gave you an idea exactly where he may have gotten who he is...he comes by it naturally.

Their first meeting is about a penis. Well, about a blog about one specific one...Josh's in fact. And, I admit, while I am not a prude about porn, and have no objections to it, I was not sure how I would feel knowing the romantic hero was, essentially, an internet porn star. But, then you meet Josh and find out that he is so much more than his penis, or his blog, and all is ok. You like him, and it is handled so well that you agree with his reasons for starting it, and for continuing with the blog. Although, some of the things he has to pause while doing to take some of those photos result in some seriously funny moments.

Their chemistry was scorching. So much so that you believe it as it leaps from the book. Are they attracted to one another? Absolutely. Do they genuinely like one another? You can tell that they do. And, I loved this. It drew me to the characters and the book in a way that made me want to continue with them on their journey. It made me care about them, as they were so real...and darn it, I am a little in love with Josh...that I wanted them to be happy. And, as he is more than a little in love with Evie, and treats her like it, you like him just a little more.

Yes, this book was a comedy. But in a way that real life can be funny. It doesn't mean it is less real, or even less life, just that sometimes you end up laughing over thesituations in which life throws you. If you are friends with the person you are laughing with, it's a win. If you are in love with them? It's even better.

If they are an internet porn sensation and it involves a penis mold...well, you have this book.

But, this is all I am going to tell you, because you just need to read the book to find out the rest.

This is my first title by Lex Martin and only my second by Leslie McAdam. I can definitely say I enjoyed it, I recommend it, and I am looking forward to the next one!



This book pulled me in right from the very start. It was funny, sexy with a bit of forbidden lust/love to it that I appreciated. This was my first book from these authors but it will not be my last.

I genuinely liked Evie. Personally, I think anyone reading this book could relate to her on some level (or knows someone like her). She had me on her side from the very first page. One of her coworker's has a nickname for her that made me wince in sympathy-I mean who wants to be known as Miss Frumpy? But as time goes on we see just how non-frumpy Evie is. She's funny, quick witted and a great match for Josh; inside and outside of the bedroom.

Josh was so not what I expected. Born into a very "society focused" family, he's a bit of a black sheep. He has that underdog vibe to him that makes you want to root for him to succeed. He's witty and the banter between him and Evie is priceless. He's incredibly sexy (and he knows it) and he had me swooning in the end.

These two have amazing chemistry, and I mean more than just the sex between them. They were a great match for one another's humor and heart. I definitely laughed out loud at some portions of this book and other portions had me wondering if my kindle would melt since they were so hot. 

I enjoyed the secondary characters in this book as well. Both Josh and Evie's friends, their coworker's and families. Nobody overtook the story but they each added to it in their own unique way.

This book had more emotional depth than I was expecting but I enjoyed that. I enjoyed their journey from start to finish. I would recommend this book and look forward to going back through other books these authors have written!
