Rough & Reckless: A Steamy Enemies-to-Lovers Cabin Romance Novella
One cabin. One storm. One bed.
Cassie Marks was supposed to spend the weekend alone—just her, a bottle of wine, and no responsibilities. But when a snowstorm traps her in a remote mountain cabin with a broody, broad-shouldered stranger, her peaceful escape turns into a battle of wills... and chemistry.
Logan Brooks doesn’t do small talk, and he definitely doesn’t do sharing. But there’s only one bed, the power’s out, and the temperature’s dropping fast. Keeping his distance is the smart move. He’s never been smart where stubborn women are concerned.
The tension? Icy.
The fire? Cracking.
The heat between them? Unstoppable.
This steamy enemies-to-lovers romance brings forced proximity, a snowed-in storm, and a one-bed situation that will leave you breathless. If you love grumpy-sunshine banter, no-strings heat that turns emotional, and novellas that deliver both spice and heart, Rough & Reckless is for you.
Perfect for fans of short spicy romance reads, high-heat cabin love stories, and Kindle Unlimited novellas with bite.

⭐ 4.75 out of 5 stars
🌶️ 2 out of 5
This was just a fun, easy read. Short, a little chaotic, and exactly what you expect going into a steamy, enemy to love, cabin romance.
Cassie and Logan double book the same cabin, a storm hits, and now they’re stuck together. It starts off tense, a little hostile, but you can feel that shift coming and it works.
For a novella, it gives you a good story with a bit of heat and just enough character to keep you invested.
The narrator, Patrick Sean, did a great job too. Easy to listen to and really brought the story to life.
Quick, simple, and a good time. Perfect if you want something a little steamy you can finish in one sitting.

In this steamy novella Cassie and Logan meet after double booking a cabin. They get snowed in together. Both of them are running away from difficult circumstances in their lives. The tension in this story is off the charts and the chemistry is immediate.
I specially enjoyed the narrator performance. He added different depths to his voice to give us the different characters. He was easy to follow and kept my attention throughout the book. I just wish this one was longer.

An erotic short story that stars two people who double book a cabin and then are trapped inside together during a snowstorm.
Cassie Marks was so excited for her weekend alone. Logan Brookes doesn't like to share. Neither of them is happy when they learn they have double booked the same cabin and are forced to spend time together when a huge snowstorm rolls through and traps them inside.
Honestly, I went into this one with my hopes pretty low. I really just wanted to hear the narrator, Patrick Sean, in action. There's a book that I'm really excited about coming up soon that he is going to be the male narrator for, so I wanted to hear what he sounded like before that project rolled around. More on my thoughts on that in the audiobook note at the end of my review.
This is one of those stories that was written solely as smut and then details were added to give the characters any sort of believability factor. I wish that there would have been more depth to this one, but the story is so short that there is no time for any character growth for either Cassie or Logan.
The one scene where Logan rescues Cassie and then warms her up in a nonsexual way was sweet. That was about the only part of this book that really caught my interest. The rest of it seemed mostly like subpar erotic scenes that were happening to two characters that I knew zilch about.
Overall, I can't say that I'd consider reading something like "Rough & Reckless" ever again. I really need to know the characters and see their chemistry to have any interest in witnessing them having sex on multiple occassions. If you are looking for a short erotic read as a palate cleanser between books this one might be for you, but it definitely wasn't for me.
Audiobook Note: On a positive note, I think Patrick Sean did a great job at narrating this one! He did the steamy scenes with finesse, while also not taking himself too seriously. It was always easy to tell which character was speaking, which was helpful in a story such as this where the reader didn't get much time to learn about the characters. He has a really cool tone of voice, and I believe he will do a great job with the project I'm super excited for. I look forward to listening to his work again!

Heat in the cold! Loved this.
Cassie and Logan meet at a rental cabin in a snow storm when it was accidentally double booked.
They both went there to escape and ended up stuck with one another. Cassie is sassy and angry at the world, Logan is laid back and sarcastic with that macho charm without it being gross.
This is a cute and fun short story. Honestly I wish it were a little longer and went into some more dialogue of them getting to know one another on a deeper level. But I love the trapped in a cabin in a snow storm scenario. And the spicy was tasteful and hot!
