Reckless--Phoebe Layton had always imagined Gabriel Banner a brave and valiant knight, which was why she went to him when she was in desperate need of help. but when she lures her shining knight to a lonely midnight rendezvous, Phoebe finds herself sparring with a dangerously desirable man who is nothing like the hero of her dreams. She fears she's made a dreadful mistake when Gabriel sweeps her into his arms and passionately embraces her. Yet it's a kiss that seals her fate. Now Gabriel must possess her -- even if he has to slay a dragon to do it!

If you are already familiar with Amanda's books then this will not disappoint. It is written with her classic formula. Brooding hero + naive heorine who loves him dispite his flaws. They marry and she hopes that someday he falls in love with her. It is predictable, but written very well. A good read and a keeper.

I enjoy most of Amanda Quick's book but i have to say, this is not one of them. It was a bad read. I couldn't seem to get into the book because the charcters seemed to unreal. It is definately NOT Amanda's Quick's best. Save your money and time.

_Reckless_ is the captivating tale of an impetuous heroine and a hero who appears cold at times but is really a romantic at heart. Ms. Quick always delivers a unique premise and a wonderful break from the mainstream romance. _Reckless_ is no exception. She wields a tale full of romance, mystery and danger while keeping a working balance between all the elements. The result is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat and up until the wee hours of the morning.
I love the way she always seems to tie her characters together with some sort of shared history. It gives a feeling of destiny to the books. Ms. Quick's characters are always well developed and three dimensional. The main characters in this book are some of the best! Phoebe is very admirable. Right away you like her spunk and you can identify with her love of romance. You'll also laugh uproariously at her fashion sense. Gabriel is . . . hard to explain. One moment he endears himself to your heart and the next instant you'd like to throttle him. They are not only well suited to each other but also play well off one another. The interaction is entertaining and endearing.
Also, in the form of secondary characters, you have Phoebe's charming family. A group of oddly hilarious socialites who try to keep the adventurer of the family, Phoebe, under control. They don't realize that they all possess a good portion of Phoebe's impetuosity.
All in all it was an excellent read, which is what I always expect from Amanda Quick.
