This is composed of four awesome novellas by four authors. All of them are new to me but after reading this I will for sure be reading more by all of them. The novellas are titled Layla’s Chance, Dirty Martinis. Into the Depp and The Spy Who Kissed Me. All of them had fantastic characters (some were freakin hilarious!!) and I just wanted to be their friends and go have a coffee date with them. Each of the four women had something big in their lives change suddenly and none of them were prepared to deal with it. It was interesting to see how they navigated through their problems and at some points I wasn’t sure if they’d make it out on the other side. Each story is amazing in its own way and I highly recommend reading this anthology!

Reckless: A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology was as the title says, romantic, steamy and chalked full of mushy good feels.
A collection of four unique stories that tell the tales of finding love, connections and not giving up. Each story has its own take on love, from an older woman, to online dating, older man and woman to a kick as ending book that envoles spys. This anthology surly has it all, and I believe there is a story for everyone.
Okay I’m going to get it off my chest, as much as I like the other three stories, the last one, is a fav. It may or may not have something to do with it having spies. It was so fun right out of the gate, and packed full of action as well as romance. I do hope they get their own full length series, cause that would be epic.
As I said this anthology has a little bit of everything, lots of variety, and as each story closes and you move onto the next there is a distance separation. Each story has its own tone, writing style and voice. They didn’t bleed together, and as a whole each story can stand on and be sold on its own. Each character has their own quirks and special traits that made them noticeable and memorable, again, clearly showcasing each authors talent to pull in new readers; because I will be checking out more books by each.
Overall this anthology was a fun, hot, light hearted read that drew me in, kept me in, and succeeded in making me a fan of these authors. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will have a time reading this anthology and maybe developed some new author crushes.
Four stories that are hot, steamy, action packed and hit you in the feels! An older woman with a younger rock star, ex-CIA and a lawyer, no strings on-line dating, older man and younger woman who agree to one night with no strings and no questions. What more could you ask for?!?!? The stories were all well written with great characters. Some of the authors were new to me so I will definitely be checking out more of their work!

This is a collection of short stories by four great authors. These are a collection of stories about strong, confident women who are willing to take big risks with their choices. Four women and all four looking to make a change in their lives. How much change are they ready for when the unexpected steps into their lives. Each story is different and I highly recommend reading all of them. You won’t regret picking up this book!

Reckless: A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology By: by Mika Jolie, Kylie Stewart, P.M. Carson, Sharla Lovelace 5 out of 5 stars
The anthology Reckless is a collection of 4 stories that I loved reading. They each have characters that I enjoyed reading about. I found myself turning pages to see how everything works out. Some of the characters are not lucky when in a relationship, some have been badly hurt so they feel they are broken, and some believe that what they are having is just a fling. No matter the case, when they meet the attraction that they feel for each other, is off the charts and undeniable. I love how each author makes you feel the emotions that each couple is feeling. My emotions went up and down just like theirs did. These characters have a passion and desire for each other. Will these characters open their hearts up to each other and take a chance at love no matter how reckless it may seem? Read these stories to find out. These stories also have some very steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. There are scenes where the characters act and I want to shout out to them asking why they did what they did. There are other moments that warmed my heart. This is an anthology that I would recommend for anyone who loves the romance genre.
