My Summary:Lexi Brooks has decided to move back to Nashville. She's had success as a real estate investor, traveled the world, and lives and adventurous lifestyle. Now, she wants to be back home near her family and friends. Her sister, Sierra, is married to country music star Trey Turner and Lexi wants to be home before Sierra gives birth to their baby. She also wants to be close to Trey's bodyguard Josh. Lexi has always had feelings for Josh, but he's looking for something that she can't give him. She has her reasons, but will he be able to understand?Josh Cooper is a former cop turned bodyguard. He has teenage twin sons and is looking to settle down again. Josh wants wife, not a girlfriend or a fling. He wants a mother for his son's and would also like to have more kids someday. Lexi and Josh have known each other for a long time now. Josh finally lets himself act on his feelings for Lexi, but can he convince her to listen to her own heart and give them a chance at something permanent?My Take:I'm really enjoying this series. Shameless is the first book and is about Trey and Sierra's story. I completely fell in love with them, so naturally I was excited to continue the series to Lexi and Josh's story.Lexi came into Sierra and Trey's story near the end, so I didn't have much time with her before her story. I liked what I saw though, so I couldn't wait to see how her character would develop. Lexi's story was a bit more complex than what I thought it would be. She's had to deal with some pretty horrifying things and I admire her strength in overcoming those situations. Lexi created a successful life for herself and became completely self sufficient. She needed to be in order to help her get through her painful past. I felt sad that she tried to shut love out of her life though. Not that she didn't have "relationships," but no one was ever able to break through the thick skin she developed. Josh was so determined to get through to her and wouldn't settle for what she wanted.  I loved that Josh was exactly the person she needed to help heal her from those past hurts.As for supporting characters in Fearless, I adore Josh's sons! They are so sweet and I was thrilled that they tried to get Josh and Lexi together. I loved Trey and Sierra's story, so I was happy to see bits of them again. Also, I really like Trey's sister Marissa. She's been a key character through out the series. Not only is she Trey's sister, but she has become close to Sierra and Lexi. Luc is Trey's manager and Marissa's ex-boyfriend.  He is the only one I'm not so sure about, but won't give up on him yet.Overall, I really like the series and am so happy that I found it through the blog tour. I'm not sure I would have seen in otherwise. I really adore all of the characters in the series. The next book in the series is called Ruthless, which is Marissa and Luc's story. I really look forward to seeing if Marissa can break Luc down.
