Savanna Vasquez lost her Navy SEAL husband years ago to terrorists, and she doesn’t think she’s capable of falling in love again. Then came Griffin. The inexplicable connection between them has them both wondering if maybe they were brought together for another reason. And as Griffin does everything in his power to save Savanna, he discovers there’s a chance she just might save him, too.

You know when you see that big red flag, and you think to yourself, I should probably not go anywhere near there? Yeah, Quincy Carter ignored that big red flag. He walked right up to that red flag, waving blatantly in the wind, and kissed the holy hell out of her. Sure, he probably should've arrested her for breaking a restraining order. He probably also should've stopped her from continuing to break that restraining order. Yet he can't.

As a bodyguard, I have one rule: don't get attached. Yet Daisy's got me hooked. When I'm asked to protect her, I can't resist. She's warmth and kindness wrapped up in a curvy package, and I'm willing to cross any line to keep her safe. Almost. No matter how torn I am between duty and desire, there’s only one chance I can’t take. For her, I’ll risk anything—except for my heart.

Six months ago I baited a sinfully handsome but wickedly dangerous man. He didn't bite. I wanted to work for his company. Desperately. Did all I could to prove my worth and plead my case. To no avail. Until the night I come home to find his card on my kitchen counter. What follows is a game of cat and mouse that leaves me afraid and excited and even more attracted to the grumpy, silver fox mercenary who's occupied my mind for months.

A friend needed a favor. I needed a safe place and job until I was ready to start over. I found myself on a ranch in Virginia with a stubborn old man for a patient. After what happened to me five years ago, I don’t trust easily, if at all. Women and old men on their deathbeds? Bee’s knees, no problem. Outside of that, my walls are up. They are high, made of steel, and I will defend them at all costs. I am here to do a job. Nothing more. Jackson Rowe sees through my walls, though, and I don’t like it. Until I do. But what he doesn’t know is I see through his, too.

Cash Ryatt is a distraction. It's no secret the bad boy race car driver has built a reputation from two things. Winning and fu-front-page headlines. I've read he's the best at both, but I have no intention of finding out firsthand. I have my own plans, and they don't include making the gossip sites as his next one-night stand. My three older brothers, his bosses, would never stand for it anyway. So, how did I find myself daydreaming about the one man I've been forbidden from dating? His mere proximity causes my heart to beat wildly in my chest.

While things are going great, people forget I exist, but the second hell breaks loose, my number is the one they call. It sucks. Just once, I'd like to be a priority in someone's life. I'd like to be taken into consideration. I want my voice to be heard. But that's never going to happen. I'm the forgettable one. Always have been. Always will be. Wanting to feel like I'm a priority for one night, I take matters into my own hands and book a date through The Perfect Gentleman's service. I figure if I'm going to pay for the date, the guy will be forced to give me the attention I've always craved.

Publisher's summary
Every man she’s ever known has hurt her…until him.
Life hasn’t been kind to Harper Rain. In fact, so far, it’s only proven the one person she can rely on is herself. But when all her efforts to escape her family fail, she takes the last desperate option—run.
With little more than a few dollars to her name, she ends up in the small town of Misty Peak. The first person she meets is a tall mountain of a man…whose kindness is only outshone by his captivating smile.
As a former Delta Forces soldier, the urge to protect others is in Cody Walker’s genes. So when a woman walks into his bar in the middle of a storm—with only a backpack and a black eye—ignoring her isn’t an option.
Trust doesn’t come easy to Harper, so Cody starts by giving her a job. The more he gets to know the enigmatic woman, the more he’s convinced that slowly working his way behind her shields is well worth the effort.
Unfortunately for them both, time is a luxury they can’t afford. Harper's pursuer is catching up, and if they can’t have her, no one can…least of all Cody.
Reckless Hope is a small-town, stand-alone romantic suspense in the Reckless series by bestselling author Nyssa Kathryn.

There are two sides to this tale. I'm here to tell you mine. If you think this story is about a cheater, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Cash Ryatt is a distraction. It's no secret the bad boy race car driver has built a reputation from two things. Winning and fu-front-page headlines. I've read he's the best at both, but I have no intention of finding out firsthand. I have my own plans, and they don't include making the gossip sites as his next one-night stand. My three older brothers, his bosses, would never stand for it anyway. So, how did I find myself daydreaming about the one man I've been forbidden from dating? His mere proximity causes my heart to beat wildly in my chest.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

No one knows what happens up at Midnight Manor. The home of the Voss brothers sits like a sentinel looking down on our small town, remaining a mystery. The four brooding billionaires rarely leave the confines of the iron gates, fueling rumors that have existed for decades. When my father dies, all the security I’ve known is ripped away, forcing me to come face to face with the eldest brother, Asher Voss. His outward beauty is just as I’d heard—it belies a predatory nature, irresistibly drawing me in.

You know when you see that big red flag, and you think to yourself, I should probably not go anywhere near there? Yeah, Quincy Carter ignored that big red flag. He walked right up to that red flag, waving blatantly in the wind, and kissed the holy hell out of her. Sure, he probably should've arrested her for breaking a restraining order. He probably also should've stopped her from continuing to break that restraining order. Yet he can't.

I accidentally bid on a date with hockey star Rake Hanson, AKA Mr. Puck-Head, at a charity auction. Now I’m stuck with him. He’s the mascot for everything I resist in a guy–big, strong muscles, a perfectly chiseled jaw—and someone who'd rather workout than read a book. Not my kind of “prize.” While his grunts and one-word answers drive me up the wall, at least he’s nice to look at with those broad shoulders, strong glutes, and big… hands. Regardless, he’s a shameless grouch. If he ever smiles, his face will probably crack.

I needed a reset, so my brother hooked me up with a job with his best friend as my boss. Enter billionaire, Cody Blaise. He has eyes that strip me bare and a touch that's devilishly rare. He needs to be married to get his inheritance and I want to ditch my toxic friends, so we make a deal: I pretend to be his wife, fake my emotions and convince his grandfather that we're a real couple. Simple in theory. We're certainly convincing. Too convincing.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

A great start to a new series
The narrators were perfection. I truly feel that Jason Clarke can do no wrong haha. Avery Caris is amazing. I love her voice. Having both Jason and Avery in this story was the best combo!
• Thoughts:
Nyssa! Nyssa, Nyssa, Nyssa. She did it again, another great start to what I know will be a great series. We met Cody in Liam's story. So we know Cody and His brothers have a protective streak that is a mile long. Cody does not disappoint he is fierce and protective of Harper. He does not question his attraction to her either. It was instant and I love it. We get some twists and turns in this story. And just like many if Nyssa 's books. I had this book read in a few days. I always end her books feeling happy and good. So excited for the rest of this series in Mystic Peak.

Great start to this series!
Reckless Hope is book #1 in the new Reckless series. Nyssa Kathryn knows exactly how to tug on your heartstrings, make you laugh with the family banter, binge to the end to find out who did it,then steam up the sheets with the spice! Harper Rain is running from her sh!tshow of a life and lands at Cody Walker's bar...with a black eye. At first sight, he's pronounced himself her protector and is doing all he can to show her not every man is out to hurt her. But Cody's past comes back to threaten them and Harper's past is hot on her heels. Cody has a bunch of single brothers and a sister, so I KNOW we're in for some great stories! Don't miss out on the start of this fabulous family!!
The narration was a shining point for sure. Jason Clarke and Avery Caris (enough said??) brought the big guns for this one. Growly, broody Cody and Harper were voice to perfection by this duo. 5 binge-worthy stars!!

Small-Town Romantic Suspense!
This is the first book in the Reckless series, a small-town, stand-alone romantic suspense. This series is interconnected with the Blue Halo series (#8 Liam, Cody's twin Nylah's story). This is a great start to the series. I liked Harper and Cody's story. Cody, a former Delta Forces soldier, and a bar owner, is handsome, protective, and supportive. Harper is beautiful, strong, and smart. They are both great characters. Their story is passionate, and entertaining. The storyline is suspenseful and captivating, filled with drama, intrigue, danger, and twists and turns. The supporting characters are interesting. I liked Kayden and Nylah, Cody's siblings. Avery Caris and Jason Clarke did an excellent job bringing these characters and this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

A wonderful start to the series
Once again this author delivers a story that has heart, substance, and wonderful characters in this first audiobook of the new series.
To say that Harper Rain has had a tough life, is putting it mildly. When she finds herself at her wits end, she leaves everything behind and with little money ends up in Misty Peak during a storm.
The only lights on the street are in a bar and she goes there in hopes of finding a referral to a cheap motel.
When she enters and meets a gorgeous and enormous man, she never would have predicted what would come after.
Cody Walker , owner of the bar, was once a Delta Force operator and returned home to help his dying father. He is a protector by nature and when Harper arrives at the bar, with a black eye and in need of help, he doesn’t hesitate to give it.
From that moment on, the attraction intensifies, but so do the attacks and the danger surrounding Harper.
In this engaging plot there was never a dull moment. Lots of guessing whodunit, and wondering what would happen next.
The main characters as well as the secondary ones were well developed.
If you are familiar with the author’s Blue Helo series, Liam makes an appearance and his person, Nylah, is Cody’s sister.
A great start to the series. Can’t wait for the next story .
The narrators Avery Caris and Jason Clarke did an excellent job with the various voices.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Cody & Harper!
As soon as I heard about this, I could not wait for the chance to listen. Nyssa Kathryn quickly became one of my favorite romantic suspense authors and this story is no exception. Meet Cody, Nylah's twin who I mt in Blue Halo #8. No, you don't have to listen to the Blue Halo series, but it is so good, you will definitely want to! And what a man! When Harper bumps into Cody, she is a mess. No money to her name, no place to stay and a black eye, Cody's protective gene pops into action and he begins his mission to take care of her. Little does she know, his instant attraction and kindness is just what she needs. Harper has had it tough, and now on the run and trying to figure out how to start life over and stay under the radar is a hard task. But she is finding all of the people in Mystic Peak to be helpful and loving. Exactly the kind of town she would love to be in. But will the danger she is running to stay away? Nyssa Kathryn knows how to capture my attention and keep it. This town is all about family, the characters are sweet and lovable, protective and the kind I would want surrounding me. Plus the cupcakes! That is a huge bonus! The suspense stays high and trying to figure out who is creating the trouble had me wondering til the end. Loved this start to the new series and can't wait to hear Tilly and Kayden's story!
Jason Clarke and Avery Caris bring the story alive with a thrilling narration. Clarke plays the swoony Cody with all the warmth and protective vibes. Caris comes in with the hesitancy that Harper has, but has her heart slowly melting. Together they build the suspense, keep it high and at the same time give all the romantic feelings. Loved this!

Where has Nyssa been my whole life?
This is the first book I've read by Nyssa Katherine. And she blew me away.
Reckless Hope tells the story of Cody, the overprotective, swoony, fmr military bar owner in a small town where everyone knows everyone, and Harper, the sweet yet strong FMC with a troubled past that follows her even after she ran away.
I love the small town vibe that Nyssa created. While there are always busy bodies that are in everyone's business, there are also those who welcome people in as their found family.
We are taken on a beautiful journey of the love that Cody and Harper find in each other. There is suspense, there is sweetness, swoony moments and super spicy spice.
Narrators Jason Clark and Avery Caris were perfection as Cody and Harper. While I'm already a huge fan of their respective work, they blew my away with this book. Jason had me clutching my heart with how sweet he portrayed Cody and the range of emotions he brought to the role.
Avery pulled at my heartstrings in every scene Harper experienced heartbreak. Both actors gave absolutely incredible performances.
The epilogue hinted at the characters to be featured in book two and I. Cannot. Wait.
While this was my first Nyssa Katherine book, it is most definitely not the last.

Wonderful Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Emotional!
Nyssa Kathryn pens another amazing novel, a small-town romantic suspense that not only captivates your attention the entire time, but tugs at your heartstrings too. It is an original story with multiple layers and complex characters, and the suspenseful elements are intriguing. Harper Rain was not born into the best of families with a father is in prison for assaulting her, a mother who has checked out into many bottles of alcohol and a brother that is a complete loser. She started working when she was a teenager and has been saving up to pursue her goals and dreams, which were all taken away when her mother emptied her bank account. All fed up, Harper fled, taking her car and the bare minimum, leaving everything else behind. Driving for too long, she stops at a small town called Misty Peak. It was late in the evening and the only business open was the bar, Cody Walker’s bar. Cody, former Delta Forces, recognizes that Harper is in some sort of trouble, and being protective in nature, he is careful to not scare her away. He connects her with a friend who has rental cabins, so she has a place to stay. After she left he was not sure he would see her again, but fate had other plans. Changing her mind about putting more distance between her and her family, she stays in Misty Peak, and asks about the job offering in the bar, and despite her lack of experience, he hires her and Harper winds up fitting right in with the locals. Then her past comes back to haunt her, and there has been trouble brewing in Misty Peak before she arrived, trouble that is escalating. I loved how everything played out in this book, and watching Cody and Harper’s budding relationship grow and trying to figure out who was behind everything going on in Misty Peak and the threats made against Harper. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, mystery, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Nyssa Kathryn, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Avery Caris and Jason Clarke were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, understood who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters would sound, Clarke as the swoon worthy Cody and Caris nailed it as Caris, both grasping every side of their character’s personality. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevates this already fabulous story to another level. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Book 1 of the Reckless Series is perfect!
The Walker brother’s and Mystic Peak have gotten my attention, for sure!
Nobody better than Jason Clarke and Avery Caris to bring us this new series! Jason does an incredible job as Cody and his voice fits perfect. Avery gives us a perfect Harper visual!
We met Cody in Blue Halo when his twin Nylah went to Cradle Mountain and met her partner, Liam with Blue Halo, so I am thrilled that we get his book first!
Harper, running from her past life and her family finds herself low on funds and just plan exhausted, needing a place to stop and rest she pulls into a bar parking lot hoping someone can help her find a hotel for the night. Disheveled, cold, and bruised, Harper goes in looking for assistance, little did she know exactly what she found that night until much later.
Cody could tell she was desperate but he saw the bruising around her eye and knew she was running from something but he didn’t know what. Seeing her vulnerable, and needing help, he offered her the job he has open at the bar in hopes to keep her around. What Cody couldn’t understand was how someone he just met get such a strong hold on him and his heart.
Nyssa Kathryn does it again! She has found not only characters but circumstances that suck us inside her books! I can’t wait to see how Kayden and Tilly work out their situation next in Reckless Trust!

CODY & HARPER'S STORY
The Walker Brothers series starts out with a bang! Kathryn's long-time readers will remember Nylah Walker from the Blue Halo series' book, LIAM. She was the sister who moved across the country to escape her overprotective brothers.
This book is first in a series about her brothers and features her twin, Cody. He returned from the military when the Walker patriarch was gravely ill and now runs the bar that's been in the Walker family for years. He is the kind of hero that Kathryn is so good at creating.
Harper Rain comes from the family from Hell....a drug-addicted, abusive father currently in prison, an alcoholic, uninvolved mother, and a brother who is the definition of sociopathic. She ran from her dysfunctional family, but only made it five hours down the road. Broke, thanks to her thieving mother and brother, and exhausted, she chooses to stop for the night in a small town in the pouring rain with a dead cell phone. The only business open at one a.m. is Cody Walker's bar.
Cody and Harper are made for each other and find their HEA after a very bumpy road. Nyssa hits a home run with this one and Jason Clarke & Avery Caris' narration couldn't be more perfect!
