About this listen

From USA Today bestselling romance author Dakota Davies comes an all new small town opposites attract romance about a runaway bride and the mysterious outsider who risks it all to protect her.

The rules were simple. Ditch my past for a fresh start in Finn River. Keep my head down, work hard, and stay out of trouble.

But trouble has a name: Kirilee St. Claire. She’s sweet and feisty, with legs for days and a wicked stubborn streak that turns my crank. She’s also my new boss’s daughter, wealthy, educated, and way out of my league.

And…engaged to a jerk.

So when she begs for my help tackling a set of secret goals–a mischievous little bucket list–before she ties the knot, even though it’s reckless and ballsy for us both, I’m all in.

Yet the more time we spend as partners in crime, the crazier things get. Though we stay safely in the friend zone, I fall for her in a hundred ways. And by way she’s looking at me, I'm not alone. How can I convince her to say goodbye to Mr. Wrong, and take a walk on the wild side with me instead?

And when the shadows from my past find me, do I hide from the truth, or risk it all for my reckless heart?

Author's note: A mysterious stranger with a heart of gold, a small-town sweetheart finding her courage, and a quirky mountain community rallying for love. Add a fiercely loyal found family, hilarious hijinks, plenty of heat, and a shocking twist, and you have a recipe for a wild and reckless ride.

Love Me Reckless is a standalone small town contemporary romance novel and book 2 in the unforgettable Love Me Dangerous series.

Love Sawyer and Kirilee! ❤️❤️

Story - ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Spice - 🌶🌶🌶
Narration - ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Love Me Reckless is book #2 in the Love Me Dangerous series. Dakota Davies has left me in a big ol' emotional puddle with this one and the story of Sawyer and Kirilee. Sawyer is creating a new future for himself, a fresh start. Kirilee is taking one for the team and marrying an a-hole (but pretty on the outside) for the family business. Sawyer and Kirilee have total chemistry and form a friendship that sparks at every touch! The binge-w0rthy suspense in this story is thrilling with plot twists right up to the end. This is a standalone, but DO NOT miss this series.

The dual narration was perfection! Robert Hatchet and Laura Horowitz have teamed up again for another dynamic performance. And OOOO, Rob is singing!! 5/5 stolen heart stars!!

Hot Tub Wishes

The narrators did a fantastic job and really bring this story to life. They really mesh well together and I could feel all the emotions. I listened to this book in one shot cause it grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go. Sawyer meets Kirilee while out with friends and has an instant draw to her. She ditches her slimebag of a fiance and hangs with Sawyer which starts up a wonderful friendship and deep bond. This opposites attract romance has a little bit of suspense and danger but the chemistry between Sawyer and Kirilee and their journey to an HEA is what kept my attention. Highly recommend this 5 star book.

I was sent a free audiobook from HCB and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Fantastic audio & story

I very much enjoyed listening to this story which the book 2 in the Love Me Dangerous series by Dakota Davies. Laura Horowitz and Rob Hatchet were perfection voicing Kirilee and Sawyer. Sawyer has a troubled past, but it’s clear how hard he’s worked to move past it. Kirilee is so loyal, and it’s almost to a fault, but she loves so hard and so deeply. Sawyer wanted a new start and he hopes it will all go well. His life is about to get complicated when he meets his boss' daughter who is getting married. She wants to do a bucket list before the wedding. They will get up so some very crazy things and he gets pulled closer to her. Just when it seems that they may stand a chance of a future together someone from Sawyer's past arrives on the scene and threatens their happiness.

Sawyer and Kirilee fight for their HEA in this small town romance

It had been awhile since I read a “runaway bride” style romance, and this did not disappoint! Laura’s role as Kirilee is a portrait of a woman locked into a fate with a man who has dimmed her light. Laura’s voice captures Kirilee’s sense of “duty” when it comes to doing what her family expects her to; I could hear the hesitation in her voice when with her family and the sense of hope when she was with Sawyer. Kirilee has been held to such a high standard, and marrying Birch is a move to appease her family. But when she meets “new to town” Sawyer, he shows her that there is more to life than what has been offered to her.

Robert is always a home-run in any audiobook, and this story was no exception. He captures Sawyer’s caring demeanor, and I love the scenes when Sawyer patiently helps Kirilee find her own identity after keeping her dreams on a shelf. And Robert sings a little bit and hearing clips on social media made me RUN for this book. I really enjoy the tone of his voice and how he expressively brings characters to life.

Both Laura and Robert are stunning in dual narration; I am thankful it was performed this way. I also appreciate that Dakota wrote this story to be a slowburn; the connection Kirilee and Sawyer build is beautiful. When these two finally give into their feelings the intimacy and connectivity feels so real.

Love it!

Sawyer is Zack from book one friend and Kirilee is Sophie's friend. Love how Sawyer becomes friends with Kirilee and show her that she can do what she wants. I didn't like how in the beginning Kirilee is when it comes to doing things even something as simple as hanging out with her friends which I can't understand how she has any since anytime she is not near her family everyone panics over an incident that happened when she was six. I think her mom is over dramatic. With the help of Sawyer, Kirilee slowly get a backbone and starts living. There is a part where Sawyer sings and OMG the narrator has a really good singing voice. This was a good entertaining story. You not only get the friendship that forms between these two that forms into something more but then someone from Sawyer's past show up and tries to ruin everything. Can't wait for the next couple in this series.

Wonderful feel good story

Sawyer and Kirilee are absolutely the sweetest! While I didn’t read the first book in the series I still loved this one so much! I will be running to read the first! I adore the way that Sawyer was there for Kirilee no matter what. He knew what could happen and he was there for her anyway. Watching Kirilee step out of her shell was so refreshing. Seeing her take charge of her life and her happiness made me smile! Robert Hatchet and Laura Horowitz were the perfect fit for narration!! This audio will be put in my “listen again” category for sure!

Excellent small-town romance!

Love Me Reckless is book 2 in the series and I have been waiting for this one for Kirilee’s story. She lives a very small, very sheltered life and has little control, but you can just tell there is a powerful woman ready to take on the world! I just love her group of close friends. Her family is in trouble and thinks her marriage will fix everything. There is way too much pressure on her from all sides, though I do really like her brother and hope to see more of him. She is engaged to the absolutely wrong man and doomed to a loveless marriage and a small life. She is resolved to this fate, until Sawyer shows her what freedom can bring and wakes her up to possibilities. Their attraction is strong and the steam is thick, but they evolve together with him showing his cinnamon roll, adorable, smexy self while letting her find her strength. Kirilee is such a lovely and loveable character who is the perfect match for the wonderful side of Sawyer that has never really been exposed or fostered in this way. They are both sort of broken in different ways and the light shines in them once they let it! I really enjoyed Sawyer and Kirilee’s story and am excited for the next book in the series.

Robert Hatchet is a wonderfully talented performer who is already a favorite narrator. With every book he showcases his range to flow through characters and perfectly portray emotional depth and a powerful vocal range! Laura Horowitz is new to me with this series, so this is my second book and I’m definitely hooked! I have added her to my “Faveylist". Not only does she have a lovely voice, but her range carries you through the story with different characters and situations, matching Robert Hatchet to perform the story beautifully! I will definitely be listening to more of her work in the future. Great casting!!

Finn River is Made for Romance!!

Sawyer and Kirilee are opposites. Sawyer is escaping his past and Alaska. Kirilee’s parent own the exclusive resort Finn River Ranch and is marrying to help save the ranch. Fiance Birch is snooty and has a wandering eye.

Hot tub wishlists, encouragement, hard work, teamwork and overcoming sabotage and blackmail.
Relatable, entertaining, charming and oh so wonderful. The whole series is worth pursuing!

I read and listened to this story - so enjoyable both ways!!

Great continuation to an exciting series

Love Me Reckless picks up right where the first book in author Dakota Davies’s touching Love Me Dangerous series left off. Set once again in beautiful Finn River, Idaho. Bringing back characters you came to love and focusing this time on Sawyer and Kirilee. Don’t worry, Love Me Reckless is just great standalone, but you’ll love it even more if you treat yourself to Love Me Dangerous and meet everybody.

Sawyer has more or less followed Zach to Fall River. He and Zach knew each other in grade school; they’re very good friends. And just like Zach, he’s had a hard life and has some secrets. While Zach has broken through his past, Sawyer is still outrunning his. A diesel mechanic for the railroad at one time, he was getting ready to move out of a half-way house, and the next time we saw him he was in Finn River with Zach and Zach’s little brother William attending Zach’s Finn River Sheriff Department swearing in ceremony. And unable to take his eyes off a young woman in a blue dress.

Kirilee is that young woman. Talented, determined, with so much to offer. One of Sophie’s close friends and the poor little rich girl of Finn River. Her father owns the Finn River Ranch and thinks he owns pretty much everything else along with it. Including Kirilee. She has status to maintain, standards to uphold, and he’s selected an “appropriate” man for her to marry so they can combine forces and rule the universe. She resents it all but swallows her annoyance down.

Finn River is a beautiful place, full of warm, wonderful, loving, accepting people. Except for those that aren’t. Like Kirilee’s father and her hand-picked fiancé Birch. Birch is corrupt, dishonest, greedy, disloyal and treats Kirilee in a cruel and demeaning manner.

Sawyer doesn’t believe in love at first sight because he doesn’t believe in love, and Kirilee thinks her life’s path has already been set. But instant attraction is a real thing, and they definitely have it. They are so good together, feel so right, even if some of those secrets are bound to be known, Kirilee’s father and fiancé will vigorously object, and things will get ugly. But have faith and enjoy the sweetness and the steam and the wonderful circle of friends and wait for love to conquer all.

I thoroughly enjoyed Love Me Reckless and can’t wait to continue the series, maybe with Ava and Hutch? I recommend this book and this series without hesitation. I voluntarily leave this review and was not compensated in any way. All opinions are my own.

Love this Series!!

I absolutely loved the first book Love Me Dangerous so I was so excited to listen to this one! I was not disappointed at all!! I didn't want to stop listening to this one. Robert Hatchet and Laura Horowitz narrated this book and let me tell you they were amazing! I was hooked with how their voices told this story. They held my attention and kept me entertained from the beginning until the end. I fell in love with Kirilee and Sawyer right away. They were both great characters. Kirille is engaged to marry a JERK!! Her family is wealthy and is telling her to marry this guy to help better their business even though this guys is not right for her. Sawyer is definitely attracted to the bosses daughter. But he knows she's off limits. But they make a connection at a party and become friends. She wants to complete a little bucket list before getting married and asks Sawyer and her friends help her achieve those wishes. How will this all end? You have to listen to find out! LOL This was so much fun and I just loved everything about this audiobook. This small town, opposites attract is a MUST LISTEN. I would HIGHLY recommend this book.
