A Reckless Match by Kate BatemanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
| This was a sweet, sexy, typical enemy to lovers' romance. I loved the feuding idea; it is one of my favorite themes. Throwing in several life-threatening scenes was a good plot device. This light, fluffy, and sexy read was just what I needed during the heat of the summer. I have never read anything by this author, but since I do like historical romances, I will be picking up several more books by Ms. Bateman to add to my ever-increasing 'to-be-read' book pile. *ARC supplied by the publisher - St. Martins Press, the author, and NetGalley. |

SYNOPSIS: "The first in a new regency romance series about two feuding families and reunited childhood enemies whose hatred turns to love.
Maddie Montgomery's family is in debt, and her hope rests on the rival Davies clan missing their yearly “pledge of goodwill,” ceding the land that separates their estates. With Maddie's teenage nemesis, Gryffud “Gryff” Davies, Earl of Powys, away, hope is in reach.
But then, Gryff shows up and is stunned that the tomboy he once teased is now a woman. When Gryff and Maddie discover contraband on their land, they realize it can benefit both families. But they've also uncovered a dangerous plot, and they need to work together to get out alive. Soon, their hatred for each other starts to feel more like attraction.
Kate Bateman brings crackling banter, steamy romance, and a dash of adventure into the first book in the Ruthless Rivals series."
