A weekend away in Paramount leads to Margeaux finding herself in a messy situation that has her wrestling career and personal life up in the air. While trying to salvage her career, Margeaux can’t shake the creepy feeling that someone is watching her a little too closely. Amidst all these unknowns, Margeaux can’t shake the sudden attraction she feels for this quiet guy who is her opposite in every way.
Dr. Jon Jacob is set on achieving his becoming a world-class doctor and saving children’s lives. Making a name for himself in Paramount Hospital, Jon has never been one to break rules, or deviate from his plan. With a girlfriend pressuring him to make a bigger commitment, Jon feels the need to rebel and break free. A night out at a bar has him crossing paths with a woman who is wrong for him in every way, and yet, Jon cannot get her out of his head. Temptations and tensions run high, and Jon is able to discover a darker side of himself he didn’t know existed.

Thanks to the ARC team for letting me have a chance at taking a peak at this book early!
This is such a fun book. I’ll preface this with the “black cat” energy FMC are usually not my fave but I really enjoyed Margaeux! I loved how she was unapologetically herself and didn’t change a single thing for anyone. I think this book opens up conversations about our own personal opinions about the judgements we make on others based on appearances.
I think the spice scenes really reflected the personality and feel of the main characters. You can tell the author enjoys writing them. Plus I LOVED the twist and the sub story involved in her story!

JN Stein outdid herself with Reckless Stunner. The story-telling, pacing, banter were top tier. I had the best time reading about Margeaux and Jon. I was literally kicking my feet and giggling. Jon had me swooning. Although Margeaux portrayed herself as strong, and giving zero care of the world or their opinions of her. She had so much more depth to her. Jon was exactly what Margeaux needed, and vice versa. Jon was the supportive short king, Margeaux needed. When the plot twist was revealed, I was not expecting it. The spice be spicing ahem, mirror scene 🥵.
I cannot wait for the rest of the series, and whatever else JN has in store for us!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to Beta/ARC read this.

Reckless Stunner is a wild opposites attract romance between Marguex Wild (professional wrestler in the PEW) and Jon Jacobs (doc from posh suburban hospital). Marguex is a young, confident, up amd coming wrestler who knows her worth and fights to make sure others do too. Jon is a new doctor specializing in peds, he's a quiet, sweet, golden retriever type until he meets Marguex and a spark he didn't know was missing from his life ignites.
This story was fun, informative and unique. Having a strong FMC and an all green flags MMC is definitely a different direction from the morally grey, red flags for days MMC's I normally drool over. I recommend this tale. Great spice too.

I read this book in TWO DAYS!! I absolutely LOVED IT!!
Margeaux is the definition of wrecking ball! She steps into a room and you know she’s there. I love how fierce Margeaux is, she says what she thinks and fights for what she wants…literally! She is such a badass! I loved her character and the way she was unapologetically her.
Jon is a nice guy, a doctor, someone who follows the rules and shows up on time…until he meets Margeaux. He starts taking what he wants and being his true self! I loved watching him bloom. When Jon was first introduced I thought he would be this “damsel in distress” type of guy but damn did he prove me wrong!
I know nothing about wrestling, but if it’s anything like this book, I might stat watching it.🤣 I like how JN wrote the wrestling scenes! I was turning the pages seeing who would win and who would do what to their opponent. I was mad at Eva for a hot minute because that first fight was BS but she did what she was told to do and it made everything so much better in the end!
I am super excited for the rest of this series! To meet the next sports player and see what their story has in store for us readers.

Everyone has that PERFECT book for them right? Well that’s how I feel about this book. Being a muscular girl, we get overlooked or treated as far meaner than a lot of us actually are, and I found pieces of myself in this book. We are the girls that are “too much”, “too impulsive”, “too big”. So being able to really relate to the character gave me a feel good moment.
Secondly, as an AVID wrestling fan, Margeaux reminds me so much not just of Rhea Ripley, but of Chyna, aka the 9th Wonder of The World (rest in peace), so it was nice to be reminded of my FAVE wrestler growing up.
I love that Margeaux is both self-assured and wants someone to make space for her. I love that she really puts her best foot forward and how she shines even when others try to dim her light. And Dr. Jon Jacob being ever the sensitive cutie patootie, complements her so well. He reminds me a lot of my bf too! It’s really Margeaux’s world and we’re just living in it!
I need stories of the other girls because clearly, this author can write a budding romance filled with an ambitious and meaty plot. Give me more wrestling romances!!! Give me Below Zero! Give me Glam Squad!

Is it okay if I talk my ish again?
To know me is to know the things I love. Wrestling, dirty books, and my dogs. This book had almost everything but I can't blame the Author for not wanting to take the attention away from the FMC and MMC by having to talk about the best boy and girl with four legs.
This is the first sports romance that I've read where the athlete was a female who gives off major Rhea Ripley vibes and let's be honest we all want a Rhea in our life. I really did love that Margoux was different than what I am used to reading about. Even Doctor Jon, my short king, was a nice difference from what I'm used to.
This was a fun read and different than anything I have read yet. If you're into the badass FMC and a cinnamon roll MMC then this book is a good read for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 🌶️🌶️.5
I didn’t realize I needed a book like this in my life until I read it! Thank you JN Stein for the ARC!
You have a tall, athletic, sassy QUEEN as your FMC and a sweet (but is he sweet? 🤭) short king who is immediately obsessed with her.
The story centers around Margeaux and her professional wrestling career (think Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) and her mutual attraction with a sexy doctor. There is also a bit of intrigue in this story that will keep you guessing!
This book is the best one by JN Stein so far (and I loved her previous series!). The spice is spicing, the sass is sassy the pace is perfection and the tension between these characters is palpable! It is a great start to a new series! I can’t wait for more!
(PS. This is a standalone in a new series, so no waiting required! Just go for it!)
