Jenene's Reviews > Wet and Reckless

When former Navy SEAL West Donovan trades covert ops for small-town cop, he craves calm and order. Rescuing a sexy, law-bending hitchhiker during a rainstorm raises his gut-level trouble detector—plus a few things south of his gut—into the red zone. Aspiring singer/songwriter Roxy Goodhart ventures to Bluelick, Kentucky to outrun her latest mistake. It’s a doozy, involving a lying ex-manager, a dire lack of cash, and a teensy bit of grand larceny. Landing in the long, strong, entirely too tempting arms of the law is no way to keep a low profile while she re-builds her “L.A. or bust” fund.

West and Roxy do not start off on the right foot. There is an instant attraction between them but their different lifestyles constantly puts them at odds. Originally they tried to stay far away from each other but circumstances stances kept them way to close for comfort and constantly crossing paths. When they finally connect it is explosive, but Roxy's past and West's need to follow the law constantly puts a wedge between them. The question is will there growing connection be enough to overcome what is coming their way. Or will it get in the way of Roxy's dreams.

This is my first book by this author. While the writing style was fine, the book started off a little slow and dragged at times. There were times I laughed out loud and there were times I became emotional. Overall this book is a 4 star for me. Some parts I wanted more while others I wanted less. One thing for sure is I will go back to read books 1-3 to see how the other characters got together.
