Taking a Risk
Jen Talty
Taking a dare changed Jessica’s life in ways she couldn’t imagine. Nolan couldn’t believe how a dare also changed his life.
A sweet romance between two people who have you rooting for them to find their happily ever after even though they face adversity and grief.
It will keep you reading to the end.
Love at first kiss? I can see it happening. Especially with chemistry as combustible as what’s between Jessica and Nolan. Neither one of them is very trusting of the opposite sex, and they have both have heaps of baggage to how they come by that mistrust honestly. Jessica was played by a married man, never knowing that she was the other woman until she meets his wife. Transparency in a relationship is a big deal for her. Nolan’s fought long and hard to keep his private life out of the public eye. He’s leery of reporters in all their forms. And yet, these two unlikely allies bond during a media crap-storm that was set in motion to take them down. I loved watching Nolan interact with his daughter, really, with his whole family. You can see the love and care they have for one another in their every word and action. Jessica is such a mix of contradictions with her love of dares and her passion for her job. And I really loved the sassy, witty banter between them. I was clutching my sides laughing on more than one occasion. These two are made to go through hell for the public’s entertainment and they handle it with grace and flair.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author
This story follows Jessica and Nolan – who kiss on a dare from one of Jessica’s friends! Jessica is done with lying men, and Nolan has personal commitments that seem to leave him no time for romance. But he’s not a liar; in fact, he has integrity Jessica’s ex could only dream of. But someone is sabotaging their relationship – and their lives – and it’s not an obvious villain! As always with Jen Talty, you get characters that you’d like to meet and have as friends, you have heat that leaves you breathless, and you have well-written suspense and some drama. I could have read more of these characters; the books are never long enough.
