In Reckless Abandon, the third book in the Shadow Soldiers series by Kallie Lane, Billie Bradshaw, a feisty cowgirl in Alberta, Canada, is nearly killed by a mysterious sniper. When her dad hires Reece 'Rocket' Morgan, a capable military man and old teenage flame, to protect her from the baddies, things are off to a rocky start. Even though Rocket had disappeared suddenly, leaving a young Billie confused and heart-broken, she still can't deny the sparks that fly between them every time his gaze catches hers. But there's more than romance building as the bad guys become more and more daring with each passing day, and Rocket comes to the realization that it's not just Billie they are after. A thrilling, fast paced novel swimming in heady doses of romance, Reckless Abandon is a perfect addition to the Shadow Soldiers series.
Reckless Abandon is a thoroughly enjoyable read, a great blend of suspense, mystery, and romance. It was also filled with lots of information about horses and ranching that I never knew and was fascinated to learn. There was great chemistry between Rocket and Billie and readers will be eager for them to have their happily ever after, especially when the tension racks up as the bad guys close in. The mystery part was awesome as well. I can honestly say I did not see that one coming and was just as shocked as the rest of the crew when things came to a head. A thoroughly enjoyable read that I’d recommend to romance and horse enthusiasts alike.
