Reckless Bounty
For thirteen years, bounty hunter Kage Garmin has made it a point to avoid female fugitives. He wasn’t going after this one, either; but couldn’t resist taking a look at the girl worth a million dollars.
She smiled at him, and he fell in love...
Kage knew from then on, she would be his.
He also knew who was after her and why. In order to save her, he has to convince her to go the one place she’s trying to avoid.
Hiding in plain sight served Journey well…until a handsome bounty hunter shows up with a ‘feeling’ she’s in danger. As someone who doesn’t trust easily, she’s surprised to find herself believing in him.
Finally convinced she deserves freedom and happiness, she’s anxious to confront those who stole it from her.
In a dangerous race across the country, Kage is determined to protect Journey as he fights to stay one step ahead of the enemy.

It's always interesting to see how an author's first book in a series turns out when their previous series has so many books. Lauren Sharman is coming off an 8-book series (The McCassey Brothers & McCassey Cousins) full of bad boys you can't help but love. I was interested to see if she could make a clean break with something new, and she did. The plot is good and the story flowed well; it never stalled or slowed. I loved Kage and Journey. They're well developed characters, which is something Lauren Sharman does in all her books; the characters actually feel like real people. Reckless Bounty is a must-read!

Being a book reviewer, you occasionally find a gem of a book that blows your mind and takes your breath away. When you find a book you absolutely connect with, think about long after it's over and wonder what is going to happen next, you want to tell anyone reading your review just why you liked it so much. At the same time, you don't want to tip the reader off to any bombshells or plot twists the author may have in store. That being said, there is so much I want to you about Reckless Bounty but simply can't.
I fell in love with Kage's character immediately. Yes, he's an edgy bounty hunter who doesn't exactly follow the law but at the same time, he's just a big softy. Knowing that he wasn't after the million dollar bounty that came along with the capture of a certain young lady, he just had to see what kind of woman was worth a million dollar bounty. From the moment he saw Journey, he knew she was different and she captured a piece of his heart each time he interacted with her. Here is this big rugged bad ass bounty hunter who has trouble opening his mouth when Journey asks him a question. This was the first trait of his I fell in love with.
Journey, love the name by the way, has no problem being independent. After all, she's been looking for herself for the last three years. When she sees Kage, she knows something is up, but she doesn't feel threatened by him but rather attracted to him. Journey is used to being hit on by men but doesn't realize just how beautiful she truly is. She's smart, spunky and fierce but has that soft side to her as well, a compassionate side. She's very concerned about those around her.
When Kage and Journey finally get past their initial questioning of each other, there is an undeniable chemistry. The air sizzles as they face the obstacles thrown in their way and they come to be dependent on each other, they have to be.
Lauren Sharman has long been a favorite author of mine. Ever since the McCassey series, I've been able to relate to each and every character she has ever written. Reckless Bounty is one of my favorite books by Ms. Sharman yet. There are so many omg moments that will have your jaw dropping. It's intense, funny and oh so sexy. With a phenomenal writing style and many, many plot twists, Reckless Bounty is not a book you want to pass up. Kage's story, Reckless Bounty is a MUST read. You won't be able to put it down, it's an exciting and compelling read. Let's just say that I'm looking so forward to the next book in the series. It's based on yet another utterly yummy hero.

Can Kage really protect Journey? Your answers await you in Reckless Bounty.
This book reminded me of Kristen Ashley's Sweet Dreams in many ways. Kage is a yummy hero that protects what his no matter what. Journey isn't a wallflower and doesn't shrink away from danger either. Together they're unstoppable. Their love story was a gradual progression which offered sweet glimpse of private moments. I definitely want to read more of this author's work in the future.

I've read all of this author's books, and have been looking forward to reading Reckless Bounty since I read the back cover blurb. Lauren Sharman has a nack for storytelling that makes it hard to put the book down. Reckless Bounty was no exception, and after downloading it this morning, I spent most of the day curled up with my Kindle getting to know Kage and Journey. I loved them. Kage is a tough guy with a soft side and killer sense of humor. Journey's got some swag in her attitude, and together, they make a very entertaining pair.
This story was a real page-turner. It flowed well and kept me hooked from the first page to the last. Honestly, I was sorry the story ended. There were some pleasant surprises, too. I can't wait to read the sequel, Bad Intentions!
