About Reckless
Synopsis:
The new London office of Benson Security hasn’t even opened
its doors yet and already it’s neck deep in its first case…
If the mission doesn’t kill him, his sexy partner just
might.
Dimitri Raast and Megan Donaldson have a common enemy—the
head of an organisation that specializes in human trafficking and sexual
slavery.
They have similar motivation—Dimitri’s sister was taken by the organisation,
and Megan’s sister is threatened by it.
They have the same goal—eliminate their enemy and save their sisters.
Given they have so much in common, you would think working together would be a
piece of cake.
You would be wrong.
While Dimitri brings skills and experience from years as a
US Army Ranger to their partnership, Megan brings a background in failed career
choices and an ability to cause trouble wherever she goes. Yet, even with so
much at stake, Dimitri can’t resist Megan’s particular brand of crazy. She’s
wild, she’s sexy and she’s fearless. An irresistible combination for a man who
lives his life completely in control. Now, after almost a year with one
all-consuming focus, Dimitri finds himself torn between rescuing his sister and
protecting the woman he wants - from herself.
Before she gets them both killed.
Excerpt:
They
were meeting Johnny Rotten in a dark alley. Of course they were meeting a guy
called Johnny Rotten in a dark alley. Megan rolled her eyes. Obviously Johnny
went to the TV movie school of how to be a bad guy.
“You
stay here.” Dimitri pointed at a dumpster. Yeah. A dumpster. She half expected
some guy with a camera to shout cut and make them start again.
“You
don’t mean in the dumpster, right?” Because—eew!
“No.
Beside it. In the dark.” He didn’t even try to disguise that he was losing
patience. “Don’t move, don’t make a sound, don’t interrupt.”
Blah,
blah, blah, let the big boys play. She was so tired of hearing the same old
tune. It was time to change the radio station.
“Right,”
Dimitri said. “I’m going to drive round and come in from the other end.”
“Why
can’t I just wait in the car? It’s cold and it stinks here.”
“Because…”
He stretched the word out. “You’re supposed to be my hostage. I can’t just let
you hang out in the car.”
“I
can pretend to be drugged.”
“No.
Too dangerous. He might spot you, know who you are and that Rudi wants you.
Then what would stop him deciding to eliminate me and take you to Rudi
himself?”
She
stamped her feet to get her blood circulating before the chill removed her
toes. “Why didn’t you just take me back to the office?”
“You’re
my backup.” There was a silent ‘idiot’ attached to that sentence, she just knew
it.
“The
backup that hides in dumpsters?”
“The
backup that phones for help if it looks like things are going south.”
Megan
blushed, grateful he couldn’t see it in the dark. “So, I need my phone?”
He
put his hands on his hips and looked skyward for a moment. “Where is it?”
“Car.”
She gave him what she hoped was an apologetic smile.
He
stomped off, cursing under his breath and came back a few minutes later with
the phone. “Sorted now?”
Megan
nodded. It probably wasn’t the best time to tell him she really needed to use
the bathroom. She could hold it. How long did it take to have a covert meeting
in an alley anyway?
She
gave him a thumbs up and watched him march back to the car. Leaving her alone
in a stinky, dark alley. Alone and not thinking
about how good Dimitri’s lips felt against hers. Nope. She wasn’t thinking
about that at all. She was a professional—nearly. She had a job to do. She
backed into the shadows and tried to become invisible. Ninja Megan. She could
do it. It was all about the power of the mind. She closed her eyes and took a
few calming breaths.
That’s
when her stomach rumbled. Her hand smacked flat on it as she bit her lip. Maybe
all that fried food wasn’t such a great idea after all. Not that she would ever
admit that to Dimitri. She was still mad at the man. Sure she’d been the first
to say they weren’t in a relationship, but he didn’t have to agree so
enthusiastically. He’d sounded affronted. As though she was the last person on
earth he’d consider dating. It was insulting. Her stomach made a strange bubbling
sound as she saw Dimitri’s SUV pull up at the other end of the alley. He got
out and stood under the yellow glow of the street lamp. Waiting. Alert. Moody.
Megan’s
stomach rumbled again. Loudly. This wasn’t good. So much for not making a
sound. Her own body was working against her. She crouched down in an attempt to
dull the noise, and hoped it worked. She closed her eyes, tried to calm her
stomach and think thoughts that made her invisible.
That’s
when she farted.
It
wasn’t silent.
Megan
dropped her head to her knees. If the bad guys didn’t get her, she’d die of
humiliation.
And
then her stomach rumbled again.

Review:
(I received a copy from Barclay Publicity Blog Tours via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review)
Reckless by Janet Elizabeth Henderson is the first book from Benson's Boys and it's also the first book I've ever read by this author.
This book is filled with loads of humour, fun, and action. It's thrilling and fast paced and there were some great sex scenes.
Loved the chemistry between Megan and Dimitri, they really complement each other.
Megan and Dimitri both work for Benson Security and are on a mission to rescue Dimitri's sister. Megan's really reckless and even though she got out of it unscathed, there were serious repercussions that only she could deal with.
Overall, this is a great, thrilling and humorous read with plenty of romance; an all-rounder of a story that offers plenty for any reader.
About
Janet Elizabeth Henderson:
I grew up in Scotland, but now I’m
living in New Zealand - married to a Dutch man whom I met in America. (It can
get a little confusing in my household!) When I'm not living in my head, I'm a
mother to two tiny kids, three pet sheep, three miniature horses, three
alpacas, one dog, two cats, several chickens and an escape artist goat.
5 random things about me:
1. I accidentally mooned a crowd at
a Bolivian wedding.
2. I've been chased by a gang of
baboons. And I mean gang. They were organised and vicious. All that was missing
was their leather jackets and tattoos!
3. I wrote my first novel when I was
22. It was a cross between Star Wars, Monsters Inc. and Tinkerbelle. Funnily
enough, no one wanted to publish it. Odd that...
4. I was a portrait artist on the
streets of Amsterdam for a time.
5. I worked night shift as a
security guard at Stirling Castle in Scotland while I was in art college. The
castle was on a terrorist hit-list back then. To defend it they gave me a
flashlight, a two-way radio that only worked one-way and made me wear a
polyester A-line skirt...
