Review: Reckless Hearts (Reckless Hearts #1) by Heather Van Fleet

Reckless Hearts (Reckless Hearts #1) by Heather Van Fleet

Between boot camp and two TOD’s in Iraq, my buddies Max, Gavin and me have been through some serious hell. So the last thing I ever expected was to find the biggest challenge of my life back home.

My girlfriend died. I couldn’t even attend her funeral, let alone tell her goodbye or that I’m sorry I wasn’t there like I should’ve been.

But she left me a gift. The best and scariest one I could’ve ever asked for. One I didn’t think I could handle…until the day I saw her tiny blues looking up at me in that airport. Chloe.

Now here I am, raising my baby girl—with the help of my two best friends. Things couldn’t be better. Until she walked into my life.

All I wanted was a nanny. Someone to take care of my girl when I couldn’t. What I didn’t count on was Addison, the brown-eyed temptress with a body of sin, and everything I didn’t need, but suddenly wanted.

3.5 out of 5 stars

This was a fun, entertaining read with some sweet and sexy mixed in. I liked the chemistry of the main characters in the beginning and the animosity between them as well. I loved the Three Men and a Baby feel the story had. That was great! I loved the male bonding and camaraderie between Collin and his friends.

I thought this was a light read and the writing was really good. It was fast paced and had good progression with some ups and downs. The descriptions were good but sometimes the flow was a bit off for me. I enjoyed the first half more than the second, for some reason I wasn’t enjoying the main characters as much. There’s a lot of back and forth tension that got to be a bit much for me but I did enjoy the emotion of it all.

Overall I though it was really good read. One of those stories that's entertaining, fun, and easy but I didn't have a real sense of urgency to finish. It was good and I enjoyed it but I wasn't completely captured. I did like all the guys and thought it was a great introduction to a series making me curious about the next two books.

All in all a great, enjoyable read. Cute and fun!
