Review / Release Blitz: Reckless Deal (Reckless Billionaires #4) by Maxine Henri


Release Date: November 9

The job is a dream. The boss is a nightmare.

There are three things I find sexy in a man: dimples, defined biceps, and vests.

There are many things I hate about the most eligible Manhattan bachelor Giovanni Cassinetti.

His burn-your-underwear smile with dimples.

His chiseled biceps.

And of course he loves to wear a three-piece suit.

He’s powerful and infuriating. Rude and selfish.
And unreasonably hot. That’s the root of my problem.

So when I take a job with his company, I’m determined to avoid him at all costs.
It’s hard though when we travel together for business.

It’s only one week in California, but it changes everything.
Suddenly I see a different side of him. The optimist in me thinks I understand him better.

Until he gives me a proposal, I should refuse.
But instead I sign the reckless deal.

MY REVIEW

Mila and Gio aren't exactly friends, or even on good terms, when he calls in a favor and gets her a gig at his company. Though she's always been attracted to him, even had an unrequited crush on him, she doesn't particularly like him with his cold, stoic personality. But working with him has allowed her a glimpse of a different side to the ruthless billionaire, a side she's really beginning to like. But when he proposes a surprise engagement, she really shouldn't say yes. What would happen if she does say yes? What would happen if he mistook her reason for saying yes?


Gio is driven to distraction by his new fiancée. He doesn't want to be affected by the woman he just found out is exactly like all the other women he's ever dated - only likes him for his money. So he treats this engagement of convenience exactly as it is - a convenience, and not real, as if his feelings for her aren't real, feelings he can't even admit to. If he doesn't take his head out of his ass, he may lose his fiancée, even when he realizes exactly where he went wrong.


The miscommunication, or should I say NO communication trope is alive and well in Reckless Deal, and it's maddening. I wanted to smack Mila for not being transparent about her reasons for saying yes, but especially Gio for being such a freaking bonehead and assuming he knew Mila's feelings, without even bothering to ask. My God, their whole drama could have been avoided if they'd simply talked to each other. Sigh...but aside from their communication issues, I like their story. Their chemistry is hot, their banter is witty and fun, and they both actually do some character growth by the end.

Review: Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette (American Revolutionary Tales 2) by Regina Kammer

Review of Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette by Regina Kammer Captain Samuel Taylor and Lieutenant Patrick Hamilton recall their first steamy encounter, which was a MFM threesome in a brothel. It morphed into more and now the two are contemplating their futures with the women they love, and their futures with each other. If you think times are hard for the LGBT community now, think of how hard they were during the American Revolution. Winter Interlude is well developed, which is surprising given its short length. I am so interested in knowing what is to become of Samuel and Patrick's forbidden relationship. Do they stay together? Or do they go their separate ways, and live out their lives with their women? Now that they've admitted their love for each other, how impossible would it be for them to be without each other? I have to know, now! If you like MM fiction and/or historical fiction, I highly recommend you give Winter Interlude a read. It...
