A Reckless Match by Kate Bateman @StMartinsPress @katebateman

on

 


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.



My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really liked this new series.
I love Maddie and Gryff. They are flirty and fun and before I knew it I was at the end of the book. They gave great flirty banter while they were "enemies" when really these have been into each other since they were children. But their families have been rivals for years, going back generations.
They team up together when they discover a tunnel under their shared property. Maddie is hoping to make an archeological find to help get her family out of debt and out of marrying an older gross man.
Adventure ensues and Maddie finds her attraction to Gryff growing. But she's sure it will never work. Forcing Gryff to show her otherwise because now that he's spent time with her he doesn't want to let her go.

I'm looking forward to the other books in this series. Whose book will we get first?
