He’s your new road-trip companion.Bribed by her bestie to go on a stupid soul-searching road trip to get over The Turd, Jane is sooo not into spending four days visiting tacky Florida stops and, ugh, journaling it. A librarian … ugh, journaling it. A librarian hiding behind the stereotype, she’d rather veg and read, thank you very much.
What could make it worse? Oh yeah. A hunky, charming playboy, begging for a ride. You might wonder why that would be worse, because, c’mon–hot guy? Except this hot guy is The Turd, the player this whole trip is meant to help her forget.
RISKING IT is a steamy, standalone romantic comedy from RITA Winning and USA Today bestselling author Angela Quarles with a happy-ever-after and no cheating or cliffhangers, with some bonus stops at wacky Florida tourist traps. Warning: there’s a scene where guys get all hot and sweaty playing the ancient Irish sport of hurling, just sayin’.

3.5 STARS!
Risking It was a good read. I enjoyed the main and side characters; Claire was definitely a trip. Jane is trying to get over the “turd” better known as Aiden and as much as she wants to forget him, she can’t deny the sexual attraction. Aiden is in need of something and Jane is the perfect person to help him. Spending together and miles of roads ahead of them, what can go wrong? There were some funny parts in the story and there were parts I found to be slow at times but overall, it was a good read with a sweet ending.
WOW! I love a great romantic comedy, and this fabulous book certainly fit that category!
Jane has a “thing” for Aiden, and has for a while. Then that night happened, the night they were going to finally…. they fell asleep watching TV. Jane realizes, Aiden is never going to feel for her, the way she feels for him. Her friend forces her to take a road trip, visiting places that will make her get over Aiden. Starting at his bar, where she will burn……. Stop, no spoilers. But, how is she supposed to get over Aiden, when he sweet talks her into giving him a ride.
I LOVED watching Jane and Aiden fall for each other. Stop, by stop during their journey, they both realize that what they thought about what happened that night, may not be what actually happened.
Risking It, is the second book in Ms. Quarles Stolen Moments series. Each book can be read as a stand-a-lone.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It kept me hooked until the very last word. Thank heavens for vacations, because I could not put it down.
I was gifted with a copy of this wonderful book by the publisher, via NetGalley for my honest review. In my opinion, if you like a good rom/com, this book is definitely for you.
Thank you for reading my review.
As the second book in the Stolen Moments series, I did not expect this book to live up to the standards of the first one. But it was just as real, sexy and fun as the original!
This book was even more realistic, at least to me, in that the female protagonist is a librarian and all-around book nerd. The male protagonist is a bar owner, as well as a member of the hurling team that we originally met in the first book of the series, Earning It (featuring Luke & Pepper). In fact, the start of Jane and Aiden’s adventure is indirectly mentioned there, which makes it all the more fun to see their story develop.
The characters were very down-to-earth and believable, uncertain about themselves and their burgeoning relationship, yet willing to take a chance – a little at a time – on love and happiness. The sex scenes were definitely spicy, without being too extreme. The verbal and intellectual connections between the two of them was fascinating and fun to watch, and their internal dialogues were priceless.
Again, the story is told in dual viewpoint, alternating between Jane & Aiden. I’m not a huge fan of this perspective, but it worked out well here. The characters were very distinctive, especially due to the excessive amount of swear words used by Aiden, compared to their more moderate use by Jane.
Although the backdrop of this tale and the series in general is the interactions of members of a hurling team, there were not excessive sections devoted to actual game play of the sport, really even less than in the first volume. Which was a relief to me since I’m not a big sports fan in general.
This is absolutely a book that I recommend! And I can’t wait to read additional volumes in the series! It was quite fun to see other characters from the prior book make appearances in this story, and I look forward to seeing these characters again in future tomes.
