Reckless Behavior
JJ Harper
August 16th, 2018

Framed and imprisoned at eighteen, six years later Santiago ”Santo” Valentine is not the frightened teen he once was. Taught by Master Salvatore Moretti, and with walking papers in hand, Santo is determined to turn the family name around and distance it from the drugs and prostitution his father’s legacy is built on.
Santo seeks revenge on his father, the man who framed him, and the whereabouts of his younger brother, Luca.
When he finds him, in the worst place a child could ever be—a children’s home simply known as “The Pound,” where unwanted children disappear—Luca has a friend he refuses to leave behind.
At the first sight of Ezra’s brilliant, ice-blue eyes, something shifts in Santo, and he knows he has to help this boy, too.

Ezra, dumped at The Pound when he was barely eleven years old, takes one look at Santo and knows his heart is lost. He also knows he has no chance with him. He might be seventeen, but he’s nothing more than Santo’s little brother’s best friend.
After a massive error in judgment, Ezra runs, obliterating all trace of him.
Santo, sent to investigate a dancer for his club six years later, crosses paths with Ezra. Santo’s reckless behavior shocks them both and leaves them stumbling to trust their hearts.

There are certain authors that I love, and I will immediately grab their new releases. I just know that whatever the story is about, I’ll love it! This is how I feel for JJ Harper, and I dove right into Reckless Behavior before reading the blurb. I can easily say that this book was one of my favorites!

Reckless Behavior is a standalone romance which was captivating and oh so steamy! This book is split into two parts. Part one is told from Santo’s POV, while part two is told from both Santo and Ezra’s POV. Santo is a strong alpha male, and he made me weak in the knees. I truly loved the first part of the book when Santo was discovering himself. He took no BS and was determined to find his missing brother. When he did, he rescued both Lucas and his best friend Ezra.

Santo and Ezra’s path to HEA was a definite rocky one, and I enjoyed all the twists along the way. The characters were engaging and very well developed. There was not much that could have pried me away from this story! You’ll definitely need a spare pair of panties for this one!

Loved it!

Looking at the clock on my nightstand, I gasp. It’s past midday! I guess I really did need to sleep, to forget. I need to get him out of my head and out of my system, and I know exactly the way to do it.

“Master Michael, it’s Ezra.” I keep my voice low, subservient.

“Ezra, my boy, it’s been a while.” The deep resonance of his voice has my dick twitching and my asshole clenching.

“It has, Sir, and I’m sorry. Can I see you tonight?”

“You want a session, boy?”

“Yes, Sir. I need it.”

“Do you now? Is that the way you speak to me?”

“No, Sir, I’m sorry.” I feel the heat on my cheeks as I flush, embarrassed.

“Good boy. I will see you at ten p.m. Be prepared.”

“I will be. Thank you, Sir.”

Tension drains from my body immediately. Even the thought of handing control over to him tonight relaxes me. Grateful for having the day off, I take my time preparing for him.

Making some breakfast, the thrum of excitement builds in my body. The thought of the flogger as it stings my skin brings goose bumps up over my skin. My fingers inch down to my cock, but I hesitate, refusing to give in to my desires. I know how good it will be tonight.

Lazing around, I watch shit daytime TV until it’s time to get ready. I take my time shaving my body. Master Michael likes me completely hairless. I clean my ass out, knowing he will check before he starts. The shivers run over my body as I finally attach the final part of my preparation. My cock cage.

Sighing softly, I step into my sweat pants—keeping them loose enough so they don’t leave marks on my waist—and throw on a baggy hoodie to cover my chest. Picking up my backpack, I make sure I’ve got everything I need. Then it’s time to go. I feel like a coiled spring, wound up and eager to get started.

Driving into the club’s private parking lot, I see it’s pretty full. I smile and wonder if the Master wants a public scene tonight. I like it when he wants to show me off. No, scrap that. I love it when I’m on display for everyone.

You will normally find JJ in the living room–typing away–with her dog, Siddiqi. As a hopeless romantic, she dives into her stories, always falling in love with her men, making sure they get the happy ever after they deserve, even if they do have to work hard for it.
As a bona fide bookaholic, a wine-drinking and swear-like-a-sailor type of girl, she has yet to work out how to act her age!! LOL. And she has no intentions of growing up or growing old gracefully.
JJ lives in a small, very quiet, village in Lincolnshire, UK, with her husband and dog, and spends all day dreaming up stories full of really hot men.
