Every day of the Extravaganza I will mix reviews with giveaways and fun.  Today I am spotlighting the talented Kimberly Kincaid, author of Reckless ( A Rescue Squad Novel) and 2016 RITA Contemporary Romance: Long Finalist Kimberly Kincaid.

Before I even opened up to read the first page of Reckless, I was hooked with that sexy cover! I was extremely eager to start this story.

Reckless is all about doing what you love and not settling for anything less. It might take a bit of work to find the balance between reckless  and control but our hero and heroine are up for the challenge.

Alex Donovan is a firefighter fueled by adrenaline both on the job and on his own time. Anything that presents adventure and thrill seeking challenges he’s game.  When his own set of rules jeopardizes his career he is forced into a four week “time-out” and must serve his community to cool off.

Zoe Westin is a trained culinary chef and had what her family considered a dream job in DC. Now home and running a kitchen to feed those her father questions what her goals are.

Faced with staffing needs and funding issues, she reluctantly welcomes her newest helper. Perhaps the community services hours can ease the workload until her crush walks into her center and changes everything.

Zoe has had her eye on Alex for years but being the Captain’s daughter hasn’t helped. Will Alex finally see her for the woman she has become or steer clear because she’s his superiors daughter? When they wager a friendly bet, who will be the one to take the ultimate risk? If Alex can help her take a risk it just might change both of their lives forever.

Discover for yourself how sexy giving back to the community is, and it all starts in the kitchen. Sometimes its even hotter than fighting fires. This two peppers spicy latte hot delight has just enough sizzle to make you tingle and a lot of action! Oh, and yes, it’s for  mature readers 18+.

Add this series, one that is sure to please with fantastic writing, sexy characters and a story that will leave you feeling satisfied to your list today.

I am the first to admit that I love a great book cover. Sure the description will seal the deal, but for this read I freely admit it landed into my e-reader because of the cover. From start to finish this book is fast paced, emotionally charged and heart racing good. A contemporary romance that is perfect to get you in the holiday spirit.

As  soon as your finished with this must read, grab a bag of non-perishable items and drop them off at your local food pantry or shelter.  While the holidays are six months away this was the perfect read to kick-off the giving season.

Excerpt

The burst of crowd noise got lost in the louder thump of the slow, steady music. Sophie took a long swallow of her drink, but not even the incredible sweet-tart flavor could offset the odd jangle of excitement filling her chest. One by one, the dancers came out onto the stage. They were dressed in tight white T-shirts and low-riding jeans, which under normal circumstances wouldn’t be anything to write home about. But Sophie’s eyes lasered in on the last dancer to emerge from the shadows, and sweet baby Jesus, Emilio was anything but ordinary.

His fluid grace balanced out his muscular frame, both on full display as he crossed the stage. He moved with nothing but pure confidence, smiling at the women in the audience and rolling his hips with the same sort of ease most people used to breathe. The scrolling black tattoos on both forearms put a hard edge to Emilio’s lean muscles, reinforcing the definite bad-boy air that had triggered Sophie’s warning bells last night.

Of course, that same demeanor was triggering a whole lot of something else right now. Namely, the very hot desire that was a very bad idea currently brewing between her thighs.

Oh God. She had to get back on the straight and narrow, fast. Sophie bit her bottom lip and crossed her legs as tightly as she could, but her thong still grew damp beneath the thin fabric of her black micro-mini.

“So which one is your guy?” Olivia half-asked, half-hollered over the music and the crowd noise, not tearing her gaze away from the stage. Her face was lit up like the Christmas trees decorating every department store in the nation right now, and Sophie’s hot and bothered flush traveled to her face.

“I don’t have a guy,” she said, just in time for Emilio to run his hand down the flat plane of his chest. Sophie’s palms went as slick as her panties as he lifted his T-shirt to reveal a set of abs so chiseled, she’d swear they were Photoshopped.

He moved around the other dancers, their routine seeming effortless and loose even though it had surely been choreographed. Tugging the hem of his shirt over his head, Emilio tucked the cotton behind his neck while leaving his arms in the sleeves, exposing his abs and pecs as he moved to the side of the stage where Sophie and Olivia sat. His eyes skimmed the crowd, and although he gave each woman in the audience equal, flirty attention, his stare never rested in one spot for longer than a second or two.

Until it landed on hers.

A millisecond’s worth of something she couldn’t name flickered over Emilio’s dark-eyed gaze, the emotion gone before she could even be certain she’d seen it. Then he gave up a sexy, mischievous smile that Sophie felt all the way to her fingertips, swaying his hips with a little extra suggestion as he tipped his chin at her ever so slightly in acknowledgment, and she couldn’t look away for all the straight and narrow in the galaxy.
