Megan's Reviews > Wet and Reckless

This was a super fun and steamy opposites attract romance! Fourth in a series, but it stands alone perfectly!

Former Navy SEAL, and current cop in the small town of Bluelick, Kentucky, West Donovan sees things in black and white. There's not much room for gray, or extenuating circumstances, in his world. He's a rule follower and expects others to follow suit. So, when wild, hitchhiking Roxy blows into town, he doesn't really know what to make of her, or how she makes him feel. He's hoping she passes through town quickly, and he doesn't really have to explore any of these strange new feelings.

Roxy Goodhart is looking for a place to belong. Unfortunately, she arrived in Bluelick about 6 months too late to meet her long, lost grandmother. She grew up on the road with her musical parents, and she's an aspiring singer/songwriter herself. But, she left Nashville in a hurry, after stealing back the guitar that was stolen from her by her lying, thief of a "manager." She's making the best of a bad situation, and trying to hitchhike the last leg into Bluelick, when a patrol car stops and the wildly attractive Officer Donovan gets out. What's a down-on-her-luck girl to do in such a predicament? Get away from him as fast as possible, obviously!

West and Roxy had wildly hot chemistry from that first interaction, even though they both had great, and numerous, reasons to ignore it. Their back-and-forth dance kept me on my toes, and their banter was so fun, and funny. I adored watching them figure each other out, and themselves in the process. Being a person with her absolute opposite for a husband, I totally got the appeal of their situation.

The town of Bluelick was a delight, and I loved all the side characters we met here. This was the first book I've read in this series, but I'm so intrigued by the other couples in town, that I'll definitely be revisiting Bluelick in the near future! I also fell in love with the diner owner, Addy, and I hope we'll be getting her story in the future! Additionally, there was a brief scene of two young officers who will be going undercover together, and I will definitely be looking for their story too! There seems to be a bit of a mystery plot, that I assume will be ongoing, as it was not solved in this story. That threw me a bit, but I'm very interested to see how that plays out!

This was a story of two very different people, who had been through a lot in their lives, coming together to make each other's hearts complete. I really fell in love with both West and Roxy, as well as them together as a couple. I was so excited to have a new book by this author, and I can't wait for more!!

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher. This review is my personal opinion, voluntarily given.
