Unable to master the art of dancing like the rest of her famous family, Lucia di Rossi is forced to work as a servant for the dancers. Wanting to survive on her own terms, Lucia takes Lord Rivers Fitzroy up on his wager to turn her into an actress. Rivers takes Lucia to the country, and Lucia it seems, has a natural talent for acting. However, their plans for the future are unclear as their attraction for each other grows. In two months the wager is over, and Lucia must decide if she should run towards the stage or towards Lord Rivers.

A RECKLESS DESIRE by Isabella Bradford is a steamy romance with a unique storyline. Lucia is an actress, which is a unique twist to a romantic heroine. Her determination, dedication, and passion for new adventures is endearing, and readers will enjoy her fresh perspective on romance. Rivers is a wonderful hero, who is compassionate and kind with a bit or roguish behavior that will make readers swoon. The setting is quaint and helps set the tone for this unusual romance. The twists and turns within the story will keep readers turning pages, and hoping for a happily ever after for Lucia and Rivers. The secondary characters add some wit and humor to A RECKLESS DESIRE, and the dialogue is fresh and excellently written. I enjoyed reading A RECKLESS DESIRE more than I thought I would. Bradford's continuation of the Breconridge Brothers series with A RECKLESS DESIRE will not leave readers disappointed.
