Jodi Linton is off to a very good start with her debut novel, Pretty Reckless. If you like stories that are set in small towns where you feel like you know the people who live there, then you will enjoy this book. This is a quirky story that includes a mystery and many mishaps. I really enjoyed the personalities of all the characters, and I’m looking forward to see what Ms. Linton has in store for Laney in her next book.Laney Briggs is a deputy sheriff in the small Texas town of Pistol Rock. She’s engaged to the local veterinarian and things are finally looking up for her. She knows all the residents and they know her. Things have been going well for her, but if anything can go wrong, it will without fail. When a dead body turns up and she learns that her ex has come back to town she sets out to prove she can handle anything that comes her way. Right?Gunner Wilson is a Texas Ranger, and Laney’s ex. He’s come back to Pistol Rock to follow up a lead on the case he’s been working on for a few years. He is determined to get Laney to take him back, so he’s decided to spend as much time with her as he can, why not help her with this murder case she needs to investigate. Neither one of them expected that their lives would be in danger the more the dug up.Can Laney work with Gunner without her libido getting too heated up to give in to what he wants? Will Gunner win back the one woman he never stopped loving? You will have to read it to find out.I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
