He talks dirty to me, but I don’t know his name.
He wants to tie me up, but I don’t know his face.
He turns me on, but I couldn’t point him out in a crowd.
I’ve fallen for an anonymous stranger, and now the anonymity ends. I want more than typed secrets and texted promises. I want something reckless. Heat. Passion. The thrill of being entirely possessed.
Because I suspect this anonymous stranger isn’t a stranger at all.

Lizzy Thompson met riverrat69 online through a service promising to deliver meaningful relationships by forbidding its users to share names or photos until they’ve reached a certain benchmark. She was looking for love. He was researching an investment. They hit it off. Talked and flirted, hid behind screen names and cartoon avatars.

She wonders if her ex-lover Sam Bradshaw knows her identity too.
When she rolls the dice on one reckless night, her chance at something real could crumble.
Something Reckless is part one of the Reckless & Real series. Part two, Something Real will be released in 2015.

After getting a taste of Lexi Ryan in her Here and Now series, I knew I had to read more of her work. The next series, Reckless & Real, are Lizzy and Sam’s books and I was excited to see these two get together. They have intense chemistry and it was interesting to see how far back their connection began.
This book actually begins with the novella Something Wild, and it is everything you are thinking! It was a quick and steamy read as we go through a short time where Lizzy and Sam hook up. They have amazing chemistry and I could see the passion between them building. But circumstances arise that force them apart. I really enjoyed this insight into Lizzy and Sam; it showed me enough of them to see that they are good together, but neither of them are confident enough to put their feelings on the line.
Something Reckless
I was happy to dive into the next book immediately because I wanted to see what happened between Lizzy and Sam, and whether or not they were able to get back together. Two years has passed since that original hook up, and there have been a few things that have occurred since then, but these two still have chemistry.
I liked seeing the dating app twist throughout this book and I followed Lizzy… trying to figure out the clues. I didn’t side with her as to who she thought it was and even though I figured it out, it was still a shock. I loved seeing Lizzy and Sam together, and seeing them grow together and open up. But all those twists and turns kept me guessing!!
I loved this first book in the Reckless & Real series!! It is told in dual POV’s from Lizzy and Sam, and I was hooked to the storyline immediately! The characters have great chemistry and don’t realise they are looking for the same thing, but the more time they spend together the more comfortable they become. I am dying for March to get here! Thank you for hooking me in once again, Lexi!!
