Reckless: A Vintage Contemporary Romance
From New York Times best-selling author Thea Harrison comes a vintage contemporary romance, as originally published under the pen name Amanda Carpenter in 1987.
Life as a foreign correspondent is filled with adventure and danger—and that’s exactly what Leslie Tremaine needs. Throwing herself into her work allows her to avoid the trauma of her past and the grief she tries to suppress. She’s determined to devote herself entirely to her career, and she won’t let anyone—especially not the distractingly handsome journalist with whom she had a one-night stand—stop her.
Scott Bennett doesn’t know what to make of Leslie’s contradictions. Is she the aloof colleague he sees in the office, or the passionate woman who briefly shared his bed before disappearing without a word? Scott is no stranger to secrets, and he wants to unravel Leslie’s. A joint assignment seems like the perfect opportunity, until disaster strikes when their South American flight is hijacked.
Taken as hostages, Leslie and Scott are forced to employ all their skills to keep themselves and others safe. The more time they spend together in captivity, the more they’re drawn to each other. But the situation is volatile, and their hijackers are getting desperate.
As tensions boil over, Leslie hatches a desperate plan that wagers her own safety for that of the other hostages. Will she and Scott have the opportunity to explore a possible future together, or will their captors ensure their futures end prematurely?

If you like heroines that act like stereotypical action heroes, you'll love this one. She's an unemotional action hero - right down to the her traumatic backstory (her family never understood her, her husband and daughter died tragically, now she's a lone-wolf war correspondent who has one lapse of human contact - her one-night stand with the hero). Her apartment is empty, her education was bootstrapped, her rare smile is dazzling, her martial arts moves are cinema-worthy.
I understand the appeal - I really do. This sort of action/adventure character is hugely popular. It just isn't my thing.
So aside from personal taste, I also felt that the author was trying to include too much story in such a short format. This author likes to show and not tell - so there are very long paragraphs describing the characters actions with little to no dialogue.
While I felt I understood the heroine by the end of the story - I still have no clue about the hero. He's ready to settle down at 38. He has white-blonde hair and dark eyes. He knows just what the heroine needs. (eye-roll) That's about it.
Still, I had to give this three stars even though romantic suspense is not my jam. It's well-written and the hostage situation was interesting.
Boogenhagen has all the details in her spoiler review.

Re Reckless - this another Amanda Carpenter non HP HP. I also have to add that TH reissued it in ebook and the cover on that one isn't near as good as the one on the HP - but don't worry I have both versions and it is the same story.
Now for the story part, the h is in her late 20's, she is a reporter going into third world areas and finding things out. She also has a LOT of baggage over the fact that four years earlier her husband and her small daughter died when they fell through the ice on a winter pond they were skating on. The h misses her daughter terribly, she loved her child and deeply mourns the fact that she will never see her grow up. The husband, well his death was a bit of a relief really.
She married a 30 year old man when she was 18 or 19 and the kinda person she grew into was not the kinda person he wanted her to be. She lived in a small Midwestern town and none of her family or his could understand why she was so unhappy. So she just shut herself off from them and kept her unhappiness to herself. She had to cozen, manipulate and maneuver her husband just to get in some college classes. For an h who is a total travel bug and loves going to new areas and seriously loves her far flung assignments, even to dangerous areas, this marriage was slowly stifling and killing her spirit. So naturally she feels a ton of guilt that he is dead and she is free to do as she wishes.
She is very, very much a loner type roving reporter and she loves her job. Her family doesn't understand or care that she is happy with her choices, they think she should settle down with another man just like her former hubby and set about having a lot of kids to quench that restless spirit. It is implied that her choices have been heartily condemned by her family, she has almost no contact with them, except for weddings and funerals and then it is only a one day trip with as little to do with them as possible. She cannot live within the scope of their implied disapproval and yet she also cannot embrace the morality of a less conservative lifestyle. For all her fleeing the bindings of small town life, she still thinks like them in very critical ways.
Just how critical those ways are rapidly becomes apparent. The h is out with her photographer on their first night back in town from a foreign assignment in an earthquake damaged poverty ridden area. The h is partying hard when she runs into another journalistic team for the same paper. The H is a reporter who is rumored to be a former executive who traded life in a business suit to travel the world in war torn areas. There is an immediate attraction and the h and H wind up spending the night together.
The h sneaks out in the morning, after leaving a warming pot of coffee, and dismisses the encounter later in the day when the H tracks her down at work. The H is obviously interested in getting to know her better, but the h lets him know that she will be permanently otherwise occupied. The H gets angry about this, and the h implies that he is thinking she is a promiscuous tart (tho she uses the w equivalent), and that her lifestyle doesn't accommodate excess relationship baggage. The H ends things with a punishing kiss and the h goes about getting her next long-term assignment.
(This is a big plot point, cause the H never does in word or deed think she is a promiscuous tart, the h came up with it herself and applied it to herself. AC is letting us know, in a somewhat disjointed fashion, that this h still is bound by the conservative values that say if a man and woman are attracted they should have a year long courtship and a marriage before committing to the tower of power trips, any failure to do so-- or if the woman sleeps with a man and then doesn't want a relationship, makes her a fallen woman and she should just be standing on a street corner. Unfortunately this thinking carries with the h for most of the book, and there is no reason for it.
Then again AC is so convoluted in her explanation of this way of thinking for the h, that it takes most of the book just to figure out what she means. AC never comes straight out and says the h slept with H and then did not want anything further and so she thinks she is a tart. Instead she uses all kinds of obfuscation and h parallel thinking to skirt around and hint at the subject. It got frustrating, cause so much else happens and the h had been away from that environment for years, she should have been more straightforward in her thoughts at least, it just slowed down and detracted from the rest of the story and also the weight of the h's being unable to have any relationships because of the guilt of the death of her former husband.)
So the h gets her assignment and it is to spend a long time down in South America, the h speaks fluent Spanish and there are all sorts of human interest stories waiting to be written. The h gets to the airport and is waiting for her partner when the H and his partner show up for the same flight. It seems our roving reporters and photographers are all starting out on the first leg of their journey together. Then the plane gets hijacked.
The hijackers force the plane to land and refuel and then let everyone but the flight crew and the last 30 passengers on the plane get off. The H tries to get the h to move up to an empty front seat, so she will be able to get off the plane, but the h refuses as there are mums with kids and teenagers who may not make it off if she does.
So the hijackers take the plane to some little island between Cuba and Florida, they go through everyone's stuff and find out the h and H are reporters. They drag the h off for questioning when they find her recorder and they hold her longer than the other passengers they are interrogating. The h is annoyed and the commander who is interrogating her is giving her the "I want you" looks and the h is pretty repulsed. After several hours they return her to the group and it is quickly decided that the people who speak Spanish won't inform their captors of that. The captors are all speaking in Spanish and the hostages think this gives them an advantage if no one know they can understand what is being said. This turns out to be a wise choice. The h pitches a bit of a fit and pretends she doesn't understand Spanish to get all the hostages out of the little room they are locked in.
While they are outside and looking around, it soon becomes apparent that the captors are some sort of drug smugglers and they are moving their base the next day, taking the hostages with them except for the reporters and two of the men who they can't verify are not undercover agents. The h overhears the eyeballing commander talking to his subordinate about this and when the commander says he is going to kill the reporter group and two of the others, she decides that she has to do something.
She pretends to seduce the commander and after he takes her back to his room, she uses her self defense classes to good effect. She manages to kick him unconscious, ties him up and gags him and steals his gun to get back to other hostages. She makes it back after running into some guards and taking a few hits and the H leaps through a window to pull one of the guards off of her. They decide to make a break for the plane, the pilot thinks there is enough fuel to get back to Florida and he figures he can take off if they can all get back on board.
So there is a big break for the plane and the h is sorta beat up and helping a teenage girl who is one of the hostages. The teenager twists her ankle while running and the captors are shooting at them. The h feels a burning in her leg, pretends to stumble to get the H to take the girl to the plane and then collapses. The last sight she sees before passing out is the plane taking off with presumably everyone on board - the others made it to the plane while she was falling and being recaptured.
When the h wakes again, she is in a small cell and the commander she incapacitated is beating her up, badly. The h is kinda out of it and makes up answers to his questions, he leaves off for a bit and the local doctor gives her some drugs and tries to stop the bleeding from her leg - she was shot. The commander comes back and seems to be even angrier and more abusive to the h. (Interestingly we get no H POV, yet AC throws in the commander's POV for a bit here.)
The commander is furious that the h isn't screaming or crying and has all the interest in him that "she would for a chair". He starts threatening rape and then giving her to his men, but the h is really out of it by now and she is like "whatever, dude" and thinking that death will be soon. All of the sudden shots are fired and the H bursts through the door and shoots the commander. He goes to pick the h up and she is really beaten up, she promptly passes out again, all the while thinking she is hallucinating.
When she wakes this time, she is in hospital and the H is there. Her family is nowhere around, but all the rescued hostages sent her flowers. The H takes her away to his seekrit cabin of solitude and peace and the h gradually recovers. They also resume the boudoir bouncing. The H asks all these questions about her past, he did not even know she was widowed until her photographer told him while she was seducing the commander and the H wants to figure her out.
The h avoids some questions and answers others and tries to get the same info out the H. The upshot is the H was an executive, he decided to throw it in for war reporting, he has shot people before but never will again cause he liked killing the commander too much and he is now the news bureau editor for the paper. He is done with traveling and he may or may not have been spying for the government while reporting. He never left the island once the h had been retaken, he hung out and waited for the FBI to arrive and then they all stormed the compound and rescued the h and caught the drug dealers. He also is in love with the h, but he won't make her commit to anything if she doesn't want to.
The h has some inner navel gazing, almost leaves the H and then decides that she isn't a tart, she is a mature, adult woman and she felt the lurve so she should be able to have a relationship and be happy and no more guilt. (This is a brief synopsis of five or six pages of convolutions, but that is ultimately what the h figures out.) She moves the car a tiny bit, reparks and then goes back to the H to tell him she is home and HEA.
The action in this story is great, the h has totally mad captor evading and fighting skillz, even tho she was a newbie and made mistakes. The inner angst part was not so well done but we got there in the end, so count that as a win too. What is really lacking is more of the H, who he is and why he loves the h and all that interesting stuff we HP readers like to know before the h commits her life to him. Most of the H and his Hness just wasn't there, so while I am glad he loves her and I think I believe it, I still don't get why and I still don't know what he wants exactly, besides the h in a slinky black nightie for some power tower climbing.
Give this one a go mainly for the awesome h, it really is her story of growth with a side of H for a little romance that the h wins for figuring herself out. Be warned there are some slow parts in the beginning and the end, and the HEA may not be the most rosy glow pink sparkly HEA ever , but the h is worth it and like I said, she does get there in the end, so I count this one a win in annals of Hplandia.

"Reckless" is the story of Leslie and Scott.
This is the story of a fearless heroine, who has lost everything she loves, and now lives her life "recklessly" but to the fullest. She works as a reporter, and likes to relax on her time off. On one such night out, she meets the hero (who also works in her field), and they spend the night together. While the heroine takes it as a one night stand, the hero wants much more.
On the way to an assignment, their flight is hijacked and the passengers taken hostage. However, if you think the hero might save the day- you are wrong. The heroine is the brave filly, putting her life on the line, kicking ass, getting hurt, tortured, eventually rescued and making the hero fall in love with her strength. Ends in a HEA.
Very very enjoyable!

Okay Seeing as there is no review for this: I'll put my two cents in:
There should be (and generally is) a limit to everything. Independence is one of those things. The h is a reporter (IIRC) and she's just too in-your-face with everything. Doesn't want to depend on anyone and share her story with the world. Extremely private and solitary. The H literally has to push her (not physically but with words etc) to get her to open up about her past and trust him.
Very very lovable. P.S: That's her you can see kicking some butt on the cover! :P

This was the ultimate test of courage.
Leslie considered herself tough. She loved her work as a foreign correspondent, which thrust her into a world of danger and adventure--a world where she could forget the pain and grief locked within her.
She had no idea that a routine assignment to South America would turn into a nightmare of terror. Nor that it would test not only her strength and courage, but her ability to love again.
If she escaped with her life, Leslie knew she'd be confronted with the truth that lay within her heart.

Meh!
A commitment-phobic 29-year-old has second thoughts after she meets Scott, has sex with him that night and then tries to push him to the side when he wants a relationship. Her career is first and foremost in her life.
For some reason I never warmed up to Leslie, the heroine of the story. And, in case you didn't know, A. C. is Thea Harrison much earlier in her career...before the 'Elder Races' series.

I think this story had a lot of promise. I just have trouble with the one night stand scenario. And the main character was hard to get a handle on.
