Tarquin is insulted when a veiled woman comes to him, asking to be her lover while she is in London. She says she wants to experience passion in his arms since he is rumored to be very skilled in the bedroom. Tarquin finds the situation very strange, but when he gets a look at the widow, he is struck hard by lust. He decides to engage in a tryst with the woman, but will find out all her secrets in the meantime.

Diana never expected to be such a wanton in Tarquin's arms and can't bear to leave him, including the deceit she must go through. But Tarquin isn't a fool, and as their passions for one another change into love, he will stop at nothing until Diana is his forever even if his actions destroy her life forever.

Anna Campbell is so skilled at writing intense and hot love scenes, and there are many between Diana and Tarquin. But I had a major issue with the deceit Diana must go through to get pregnant. The majority of the time I felt like I was reading an over the top melodrama with a cartoonish type villain in regards to Fanshawe. Diana comes across more of a scared and worrisome woman. Tarquin is the only redeemable character and even then I found him lacking because he was duped so easily.

MY RECKLESS SURRENDER does have a few twists and turns readers won't see coming to help Tarquin and Diana find their happily ever after. However, this latest by Anna Campbell really didn't work for me due to the lengths the heroine had to go through to get pregnant.
