About this listen

A sexy small-town, single dad, friends-to-lovers romance by USA Today bestselling author, Willow Aster

I fell in love with Rhodes Archer the night we met thirteen years ago.

We made a pact that night to never cross the just-friends zone.

However, Rhodes crossed that line by kissing me recently, and I can’t get over it.

I’ve loved him, ached for him, craved him for years, but I've never wanted to ruin what we have.

And now, when I’m a cheerleader for the Colorado Mustangs and he’s their superstar tight end, we’re not even supposed to be in the same room, let alone be together.

But, he is everything to me.

And that includes my godson, Rhodes’ adorable three-year-old son, Levi, who I love as my own.

It’s impossible to stay away from each other. And I don’t want to when I can still feel his lips on mine and the lingering touches between us.

The lines have blurred, and rules are being broken…

I just hope we aren’t being too reckless and break each other’s hearts in the process.

Reckless Love is book three in The Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be listened to as a standalone.

I have loved all the 'single dad playbook' stories, this one was lovely. The ending was perfect and will certainly listen to again. Again the narrators are great and enjoyed every minute I have listened.

Ahh!

Book three and it's just as good as the first two! Willow Aster has a knack for pulling me into her books. This is Rhodes and Elle and their friends to lovers story is impeccable. Friends through college they had a pact to be just friends. Now years later, Rhodes is fulfilling his dream of playing professional football and is single dad to Levi. Elle is a cheerleader for the team Rhodes plays for and also pens spicy novels with a pseudonym. There is a strict non-fraternizing clause in her cheerleading contract and this is killing her and Rhodes as she is a big part of his son's life as well as their own friendship. But does this keep the two from seeing each other? Elle and Rhodes had a truly beautiful friendship, though to me it was obvious their feelings for each other. It slowly burns and when it catches, it's fire! I loved their story, and especially Levi! So cute. It's a fun listen!

Sean Crisden and Angelina Rocca are the story tellers and these two know how to tell it! Crisden is Rhodes and he is sweet and sexy. And as a dad, he is perfect! Rocca is Elle, at times a bit clueless when it comes to Rhodes's feelings, but loyal and ready to fight for what is hers. I loved these two together, loved the way their voices complimented each other and truly enjoyed their narration.

This is the way to start the year!

I loved the relationship between Rhodes and Elle and their commitment to their friendship. The secret that Elle is carrying around weighs heavily on her and that, combined with the order from the Mustangs of no-contact between cheerleaders and players is becoming 'the straw that broke the camels back'. Rhodes is suffering in his own way, His unrequited love for Elle is making him lose hope that they can ever move past their promise of friendship to more.

Friendship on fire!

I love this series. I was introduced to Willow Aster last year when I did the first book in this Single Dad’s Playbook series and was hooked from the get-go. Each book has been just as good as the one before it. This friend group just fills my heart with so much happiness.
This is a friends to lovers, kinda fake dating as they only fake date for about two seconds because they have been in love with one another for thirteen years–basically since the day they met, but have had this friendship and the way they were both, well, Rhodes especially, is you know, once he has her in his grasp he is like this is it. End game, I have her now, and I am never letting her go. She is a little bit more reluctant, which makes sense, she is thinking it will ruin their friendship and it’s been the one constant in both their lives. But he is like, no it’s not. You’re mine. Revelations are made and it is so much fun and so sweet, and there is a little bit of a moment where we think things are going to turn creepy and wondering what is going on.
You know when you get those books that are just a joy to read or listen to? That is this book…this series. There is the cutest little boy in Levi, and I 100% recommend you doing this, grab the audio. Sean Crisden and Angelina Rocca perform in dual narration. They were absolutely perfect for these characters. Chef’s kiss for appropriate casting. I think Sean was the perfect voice for Rhodes, he has that gruff, I’m a big football player, you know, the big I am in that world, but I am the sweetest person with the people I care about, and I thought that was conveyed so well and suited his voice. And then with Angelina, she has such a unique way of voicing certain things, and in this case, you have Elle who is this sweet person, she is a professional cheerleader, and has really strict and religious parents—her father is a pastor, and she has these creepy-arse men in her life, and the way that kind of conveys that vulnerability of the position she is in, plus she is hiding a little bit of a secret from everybody, and that nervousness around that and how it is performed is so fantastic. Their voices work really well together, so definitely highly recommend. The production was great. You should check it out. And if you haven’t done any of this series yet, you’ll want to.
