Jenny Tolliver has always been a good girl. Mick Brody has always been a trouble maker and the town bad boy. There was heat in Mick’s eyes the first time he looked at Jenny.  Fifteen years later, Jenny’s back home in Destiny, Ohio, divorced and feeling low about herself and her life.  When her passion for astrology takes her to the wrong side of the lake where the Brodys live, the heat is still in Mick’s eyes, and this time, Jenny is looking back. Their reaction to each other is erotic and enchanting, but Mick’s hiding a secret that could ruin their fantasy come to life. 

One Reckless Summer is one book I plan to read again and again. What Jenny and Mick have is so much more than physical. Without realizing it, each kiss binds them closer together. They make each other whole. I was a little disappointed that Jenny confided in her friend, even if I understood why she did it. Nonetheless, her devotion to Mick is obvious. He is a good guy with a bad rap. It’s hard to shake a tainted image when no one wants to believe you’ve changed. Jenny and Mick are perfect together, especially sexually. From their very first kiss, they fit perfectly without words or conversation; their chemistry speaks for itself.  One Reckless Summer is suspenseful and poignant and an excellent erotic romance. Having never read Toni Blake before, One Reckless Summer was an unexpected delight for me.
