Brady…

What the hell do I know about raising a baby? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.

Yet here I am, the sole guardian of my niece. I’d be lost if it weren’t for Katherine, the beautiful girl who seems to have all the answers. Katherine, who’s slowly finding her way into my cynical heart.

I keep reminding myself that I can’t fall for someone when we don’t have a future. But telling myself this lie and believing it are two different things.

Katherine…

When Brady shows up on a Harley, looking like an avenging angel—six feet, three inches of chiseled muscle, eyes the color of wild sage, and sun-kissed skin emblazoned with tattoos—I’m not sure if I should fall at his feet or run like hell. Because if I tell him what happened the night his family died, he might hate me.

What I don’t count on are the nights we spend together trying to forget the heartache that brought us here. I promise him it won’t mean anything, that I won’t fall in love.

I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

Praise For Dearest Clementine

My FAVORITE NA book of the year, hands down. - New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Shelly Crane

About the Author

Lex Martin writes contemporary romance novels, the sexy kind with lotsa angst, a whole lotta kissing, and the hot happily ever afters. When she's not writing, she lives a parallel life as an English teacher. She loves printing black and white photos, listening to music on vinyl, and getting lost in a great book. Bitten by wanderlust, she's lived all over the country but currently resides in the City of Angels with her husband and twin daughters.

"When you find your own little slice of heaven on Earth, you do everything you can to preserve it. To protect it. To nurture it."

OMGEEEEE!!!!! This book was PERFECT with a capital "P"!! It had me hooked from the very first page right till the very end. When I finished, I WANTED more, no.. I NEEDED more!!! I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions: heartache, grief, anxiety and joy! Lex Martin's writing style is beautiful, highly addictive and seamless!

Brady Shepherd (who was introduced in Finding Dandelion) is a drop dead gorgeous tattoo artist. He is sizzling HOT, sweet, caring, sensitive, and did I mention HOT?! I have an insane weakness for tattoo artists in general and Brady not only made me melt into a puddle, but he also stole and kept my heart. I especially loved the devotion he had for his family and how he steps in to help no matter what. And my heart broke for Brady as he was haunted by regret of how he treated his brother.

Now Katherine or Kat, is beautiful, flawless, selfless, smart, caring, nurturing, loving and sweet. She is the epitome of pure goodness. I have never come across a heroine that I genuinely loved so much and wanted to be best friends with! She has a heart of pure gold and always puts everyone else's needs ahead of her own.

Under tragic circumstances, Brady becomes the guardian of his brother's farm (complete with a baby raccoon, pygmy goats and kittens!) and baby Isabella. And Kat has been the nanny/all round friend and helper at the farm. Let me just take a moment here to say that for me, there isn't anything hotter than a guy with a baby, but when you add a tatted up hot guy with a baby!!!! OH.MY.FREAKING.OVARIES.!!!! Ovaries explosion central right here!!!! Every scene with Brady and Izzy resulted in me swooning and bursting an ovary all over again!!

"I’m immediately overwhelmed by the love I have for Izzy. I’ve never believed in love at first sight, but that’s the only way to describe it. Because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I’ll do whatever I have to do to protect my niece."
*swooooooonnnn*

"Here is this hot man, tattoos decorating his rugged arms, muscles tugging at the fabric, asking me about the baby’s binkie while he holds her close to his chest."
*double swoooooooonnnn*

As Kat and Brady are thrown together to manage the farm, the chemistry between them is palpable, no matter how much they try to deny and fight it. And when they finally do give in to their attraction, it is spine tingling HOT, passionate, and sexy!! The banter between Brady and Kat is fun, witty and downright dirty and I loved every single word of it! I couldn't get enough!!

This book deserves more than 5 stars as it will leave you with that heart warming, all body tingling feeling at the end, complete with a goofy grin! I want to shout at the top of my lungs that everyone needs to read this awesome book!!!!

After reading Reckless I had to know Brady & Katherine's story & I wasn't disappointed.

Brady looks like your typical "bad boy" tatt's, rides a Harley & is intense. But underneath that tough exterior is a soft heart & a gentle touch. Especially when it comes to his now orphaned niece, Isabella.

Highly recommend

What a wonderful warm story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just ordinary people not millionaires, alphas etc. Brady was an amazing man picking up the pieces after his brothers death & helping his aging parents. Kat was so wonderful with little Izzy & couldn't resist Brady. She also helped on her late friends farm making it more viable. The story flowed, everything fell intogether, no angst or in your head moments.

A delightful inspiring read.

I also liked the mention of fracking as it affects us in Oz as well. They are pushing the issue here too. NO FRACKING !

Love this book. Love Katherine and Brady’s romance story. Katherine is best friends with Brady’s estranged brother’s wife. Brady’s brother and sister in law end up dying due to a flash flood. Brady ends up gaining custody of his niece. Katherine ends up helping Brady transition into being a father figure to his niece. Brady wants to bring his niece back to where he lives. Brady starts learning about the farm, so he can fix it to sell it. What Brady doesn’t expect is to start falling in love with Katherine. Love how these two end up together. Worth the read.

Un libro allo stesso tempo sensuale e divertente

Reviewed in Italy on 5 March 2020

“Shameless” di Lex Martin è il classico New Adult con un giusto mix di sensualità e battute che mi fa ridere e arrossire mentre lo leggo. Adoro questo genere di romanzi, dove non c’è vergogna a parlare di sesso (anche se mai in maniera pesante o volgare) e soprattutto dove ci si scherza sopra in maniera del tutto naturale.

“Holy six-pack. I should pull my hands back, but I can’t. Maybe the oxygen deprivation warped my brain because my head is screaming to let go, but my fingers have a mind of their own… and they start to squeeze the taut muscle.”

Dopo aver versato lacrime con Colleen Hoover, avevo bisogno di leggere un libro dove i sorrisi superassero i sospiri e sono contenta di aver iniziato questo romanzo. Nonostante abbia argomenti tristi alla base dell’incontro tra i due protagonisti, Brady e Katherine, l’autrice è una di quelle che non usa le tragedie per strapparti sentimenti forti, ma che si sofferma sulle piccole cose che rendono la vita meno brutta, nonostante la situazione. Ho sempre pensato che sia più facile alzare il numero di stelline dei voti stappando lacrime al lettore, per questo apprezzo un libro che si sofferma sul lato positivo della storia e riesce a fartelo apprezzare comunque.

“’Would dinner help? You must be starving. You’ve been in here brooding since you tried to flash me your palm tree this morning.’
And then I do the last thing I expected at a time like this. I laugh. Jesus. This girl”

Tutto il libro è arricchito dallo scambio di battute tra i due protagonisti e rende meno pesante il background della storia che è, in realtà, triste. Da questo piccolo estratto potrebbe sembrare che la storia sia superficiale e un po’ volgarotta, invece i due protagonisti sono costruiti molto bene. Entrambi hanno dei problemi irrisolti che sono ben fondati, validi, per niente frivoli. In tutto il libro si mettono in discussione e quello che mi piace di questa serie è che mettono sempre in discussione il fatto di essere all’altezza. Non danno mai la colpa agli altri per i loro errori e la sensazione che permea tutti i libri è che nonostante la vita riversi loro addosso delle disgrazie, non sono succubi della situazione. Prendono decisioni, si fanno carico delle loro responsabilità, magari lo fanno sbagliando ma non c’è quell’effetto “Harry Potter” dove qualcuno deve arrivare in loro soccorso perché la situazione cambi. Apprezzo moltissimo questo dettaglio dei libri, non ho mai amato molto le principesse da salvare.
La trama del libro è molto semplice, alcune recensioni negative che ho letto dicono che è prevedibile, si capisce fin dalle prime pagine come finirà questa storia (soprattutto perché sono tutti libri autoconclusivi) ma è proprio per questo che è bello scoprire come procede la storia. Ti concentri sul viaggio e non sulla meta finale. Ci sono tanti piccoli dettagli che la arricchiscono. Io qui ho messo solo un paio di estratti ma in realtà ho sottolineato sul mio Kindle interi paragrafi: ho più note che capitoli!
Insomma, a chi consiglio questo libro? A chiunque abbia voglia di qualcosa di mediamente piccante, ma non volgare, e che apprezzi il lieto fine. A chi non ama necessariamente piangere durante la lettura perché gli rimanga qualcosa dentro alla fine dell’ultima pagina.
