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 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!!

Love Sawyer and Kirilee! ❤️❤️

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.

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.

Love it!

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!

Dakota Davies is a relatively new author I found this book to be entertaining with a good balance of suspense and romance. In fact I was surprised by a number of the twists and turns.

This is Kirilee St. Claire and Sawyer Reed’s story set in Finn River, and it was full of emotion, friendship and being there for someone who needs you, no matter what.

I liked the characters and the story was engaging. The narrators did a good job of narrating the characters in a variety of voices and brought the story to life for me, doing justice to the story that the author created.

What will happen when Kirilee stands up to her family and her overbearing jerk of a fiancé Birch? What will happen when Sawyer’s past comes back to haunt him?

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!!

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!!

Excellent small-town romance!

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.

Fantastic audio & story

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.

Kirilee and Sawyer had an instant connection, but they couldn’t be together. She was engaged to someone else, and she couldn’t just get out of it (family drama). But Sawyer stuck around, and they became friends.

These two were cute together. Sawyer was very kind and patient with Kirilee, and she really came out of her shell more. She was able to stand up for herself and stop doing everything her family told her to do.

This had mystery and suspense, and there were some emotional moments as well.
