Fin Borders has always been a wild one. Growing up, she’s learned to walk on the wild side and stay in control. Now she’s being called back to the place she grew up, the place she left behind a long time ago. An innocent woman has been accused of a crime she didn’t commit and now Fin has to go back to Hallden to face her ghosts and risk her own life. But there’s someone else in Hallden looking for a killer. Caleb Matthews, an FBI Special Agent is undercover. Only, Fin can see right through him and he is intrigued. Fin and Caleb have to work together although he desperately wants to protect her. They need to learn to trust each other and to handle the passion that is igniting between them. The deception they uncover threatens to destroy everything they love.

This is an exciting, thrilling read that grabbed me and held me captive until the last page. Selena Montgomery knows how to weave a story that is full of intrigue, wonderful characters, a bucket full of sexual tension and some hot, toe-curling love scenes. I loved Fin’s best girl friends and the myriad of characters in this story bring it alive, from Fin’s ‘mother’ to the villains. Caleb is a hunk and a half and the sexual tension is so high that you will be hoping they will hit the sheets soon. They share quite a few delicious kisses before getting to the deed and then Fin is more than surprised by the intensity of it all. Yum! Fin is the kind of heroine the reader will love. She is full of flaws, far from being good and is as tough as nails, at least on the outside. This is a wonderful book that lovers of romantic suspense will devour. I certainly did and Selena Montgomery is now on my keeper shelf.

Kell Jameson made something of herself and became a successful lawyer. She hurries back to her little hometown when Eliza, the woman who raised Kell, needs her help. Eliza is suspected to have killed a drug dealer. When she encounters the local Sherriff, Luke, it’s attraction on the first sight, but with the situation with Eliza, she can’t really open up to him, plus she discovers something big during her search for evidence to prove Eliza’s innocence.

This book is an action filled, romantic suspense thriller that will not only catch the interest of the fans of the genre, but will also bring new readers to the author, like me. RECKLESS is my first book by Ms. Montgomery, but definitely not the last. There is a good balance between the romance, police investigation and courtroom events, so that it never gets boring for the reader.

I couldn’t put this book down once I started, because I was absolutely caught up in the plot and I just wanted to see how story progresses. I am so curious how the story of Luke and Kell continues. Did I mention that I don’t like cliff-hanger endings?

RECKLESS is the first book of a new trilogy and the story of Luke and Kell will continue.

If you are looking for a good romantic suspense book and have no problem with cliff-hangers then this is the perfect book for you. So go to the next bookstore and get your own copy.
