BOOKWORM REVIEW: Risky by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Everly has moved back home to be closer to family. After the father of her ten-month-old Sampson refuses to be involved with their son, she went back to her parents to get some support and to surround little Sam with the love he deserves. What she did not anticipate is falling for one of her bosses at her new job with Life Adventures, and she definitely did not expect to be falling for the grumpy one, much less anyone at all this soon.
Blake will even admit that he has been cantankerous. But with a small business to manage and other things on his mind, who could really blame him? Now this woman barges into his work and his life and his mind.
Could these two get past their own problems to find their happily ever after?
This was a nice change of pace from Rushed (Book 1). Whereas that one was full of fun interactions and suspense, Book Two brings the angst and drama. I love how these two bring out the best in each other as they go through this journey of individual self-discovery.
Aurora Rose Reynolds did a great job of balancing the struggles of single parenthood with finding love. Sampson playing a more prominent role was well done and did not take away from the romance. The spice is very much present, though this is a slow burn. Reynolds makes the wait worth our while with Blake and Everly's chemistry.
This can be read as a standalone, but characters from Book 1 do make a significant appearance. I definitely recommend going back to get the full experience. The ensemble cast in this book universe is fantastic. I love that Aurora Rose Reynolds builds a strong, loving community around her main characters.
The countdown for Book 3 has officially begun, and I cannot wait to read Maverick's story.
