HE WANTS TO BE SO MUCH MORE.
When Mac’s dangerous past catches up to her, she’s pulled back into the dark, ugly world she escaped from years ago. Refusing to put her teammates at risk, she attempts to take on her twisted family alone. But Coop has other plans. After all, Mac isn’t just his partner…She’s also the woman who owns him, heart and soul.
WILL THEY SURVIVE?
When a target is placed on both their backs, Mac must face the secrets she’d buried years before, as well as the love she’s been denying herself for far too long. Soon, she and Coop find themselves fighting to stay alive, determined to protect each other…and the future they both want. Together.
Will these two partners-turned-lovers be able to save each other’s lives, or will taking the ultimate risk end up costing them everything?
*Author’s note: ULTIMATE RISK is a full-length novel and has been written as a stand-alone. (Happily-ever-after doesn’t come easy for these two…but like every R.I.S.C. couple, they do get there. I promise!) Theirs is a story of love, passion, pain, and danger, and one that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first line to the last.

I read, they school. Anna Blakely is always a one-click and Mac and Coop were #romancegoals in this newest R.I.S.C. book. These two have loved each other and when they finally come together it is worth the build up. Mac is so strong, and stubborn with an intense fear of love. But once she allows it, she loves full force. It was wonderful to see the whole team at it again, and can’t wait to see what is in store for Mike and the Bravo Team.
This is the first book of Anna Blakely’s that I’ve had the opportunity to do an Arc review.
I loved the storyline between Mac and Coop both as partners and then again when things start to sizzle when Coop decides it’s time to become more than work partners.
There is plenty of intrigue and excitement throughout the book.
I would definitely recommend this book.
This! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this since book one of this series. Was it worth it? Oh boy! Yes it was. Emotional turmoil surrounds these two right from the first page, we are taken on a ride of excitement, fear and love starting as Mac’s past comes back to haunt them. It takes time for Coop to understand why she pushes him away and to understand her true motives. With the team backing them up and a few very happy moments in amongst the threats they are forced to confront her past so they can move into their future. Powerful story that contains sadness, happiness and violence but as always together this team are stronger than the odds stacked against them, this is family. Stronger than blood because they choose each other. I never feel my reviews do the justice o these books that they deserve, the effort and work put into giving readers such wonderful books to read by the author, I wish I could convey just how much enjoyment and love I get from them. Just how much I invest in getting lost in the characters and their story. I can completely and honestly reccomend this series, but read from the start, you need the background and build up to get the complete picture and understanding of all of the characters.
I’ve been waiting for Mac & Coop’s story for a long time and it definitely did not disappoint. Steamy from the beginning. Action packed. Surprises at every turn. Very well done.
Looking forward to more!
Anna has once again out done herself with this book and has your feels all over the place. Mac and Coop are absolutely AMAZING together once they actually let themselves give in to the feelings they have held for each other for years. It only takes alot of fighting, being vulnerable, letting go of past issues and forgiveness but……. then they also have the added benefit of doing all that along with trying to figure out who is blackmailing Mac, threatening Coop all while really targeting Mac and dealing with crazy family drama. This book has it all! You won’t be disappointed, just make sure to grab some tissues and settle in cause you wont be able to put it down.
Waiting to read Ultimate Risk, book 6 in Anna Blakley’s R.I.S.K. series, has been a long time coming and I am so glad it’s finally here. This book concerns Sean (aka Coop) and Mac (McKenna), who are the final two members of the Alpha team to have their story told. If you’re like me, you have probably read the author’s blurb about the book. So I won’t repeat any of that. Since you liked the blurb, you most likely found yourself wanting to know what others thought of it.
I found Sean and Mac’s story filled with stubbornness, kindness, selflessness, sacrifice, brutality, disillusionment, fear, yearning, fierceness, honor, love, suspense, anguish, and hope. I started reading this book and found that I was so engrossed in it that I found myself upset at the reason I had to pause and do whatever it was. I couldn’t get back to reading their story soon enough. The story starts out with a view of some people’s past. Then the reader is brought to the current day. Sean and Mac find themselves not agreeing on a situation Mac needs to handle. Sean is an alpha male with the heart of a romantic and the spirit of a warrior. Somehow, my mind put a young Nicholas Cage in Sean’s role. Mac is a strong, dedicated pintsize spitfire that has experienced more pain in her short life, but still can possess a soul filled with humanity, inner courage of a lioness and a heart carefully guarded. Sean and Mac end up facing her gauntlet of terror, not knowing whom to trust, except each other and their teammates. Will the two partners at work have a chance to be partners in life?
I highly recommend this book, Ultimate Risk, as well as the entire series. I look forward to Anna Blakely continuing her R.I.S.K. Bravo series. I was given an arc in return for my honest review, and now you have read it.
Wow, this story literally starts with murder and you’re hooked. I couldn’t put it down once I started, it’s simply amazing. This story is a great addition to the R.I.S.C’s series and totally worth it. I love the chemistry between Coop and Mac and what each will do to protect the other.. You don’t want to miss out on reading this story because it rocks and is just Amazing.
Absolutely a great read! Really enjoyed reading the series and this story. could not put it down, fasted pasted, keeps you involved in the whole story. Loved Mac’s and Coopers story, couldn’t wait for it and couldn’t stop reading until the end.
Ultimate Risk is book 6 in the R.I.S.C. series, and was worth waiting for. Coop and Mac have been partners and friends throughout the series and have had lots of chemistry in previous books. Finally we see them admit to it, but with lots of drama, danger and a twist I didn’t see coming ! It can easily be read as a standalone, but the whole series was wonderful, and old friends from previous books pop in and out ! I highly recommend reading them all !! 5 stars !!!
Another great book by Anna Blakely! The chemistry between Cooper and Mac were off the charts. This story has suspense, romance and a surprise ending!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Ultimate Risk is the sixth book in the R.I.S.C series which I recommend reading in order. Ultimate Risk features Coop (Sean) and Mac (McKenna), two members of the Alpha team that have been partners for years. We’ve seen their sparks and chemistry in snippets throughout the other books, but now Mac’s past has reared it’s ugly head and pushes Coop and Mac to act on their feelings. I absolutely loved this book, it had it all: the heat, the suspense, the banter, the brotherhood, most of all the love.
This is book 6 in the R.I.S.C. series and while it can be read as a stand alone, I recommend reading the previous books first since these characters and their relationships with each other are all introduced in previous books. In this one we finally get Sean “Coop” Cooper and McKenna “Mac” Kelley’s story!! Coop and Mac have been partners and friend’s for years. They have always felt more for each other, but never acted on it because they didn’t want to lose what they had. But when Mac’s past has come back to haunt her, Coop won’t let her go it alone. Nor will he deny his own feeling’s for her any longer. But can they make it out safely and manage to find their own happy ever after?
I have been wanting Coop and Mac’s story since almost the very beginning, and this in no way disappointed me! Mac has a past that I didn’t see coming in a million years! But it definitely explains why she is the way she is, and makes you understand exactly why she does the things that she does. It actually made me like her more to be honest. Mac is this beautiful soul that you just can’t help but love. And while he is usually laid back, when he cares about you he will do everything he can to make sure you are happy and safe. The fact that their relationship starts with friendship just made it all the better for me. They already knew the important things about each other. Another great read and I can’t wait for more in this series!
Paperback. I have been waiting for Mac and Coops story for ages. I won’t spoil it but she isn’t who we think she is. It blew my mind when we found out who she was but it also broke my heart that she didn’t trust Coop enough to tell him the truth. All of the rest of the company knew. I just wanted to wrap him up in a massive hug. This book was full of angst, intrigue, danger and the sense that someone thought they were doing the right thing but it wasn’t. A fantastic read from a book I was waiting to read.
What a heart thumping, action packed, murder and mayhem romance for Mac and Coop…I have been waiting for these 2 to get their story and Anna Blakely did NOT disappoint. Grab this nail biter and take the Ultimate Risk. I volunteered an honest review for this book.
Two operatives from R.I.S.C, finally getting their story. Mac is too stubborn to accept help and it really hurts her partner, Coop. Everything is a lie and it’s frustrating when your partner does not trust you. The book is intense from page one where someone’s life can be blown apart completely if the lie comes out, even after all this time. They are barely speaking to one another. Family visits provide some healing opportunities but misunderstandings continue. I loved how it all came together in the end. I love this series and will continue to read this series and this author.
I received this advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is a strong series. Once you read one book you know you have to read them all. Mac and Cooper are partners who have danced around their attraction, but Mac has a reason why she keeps Coop at arm’s length. This book has it all. It will keep you at the edge of your seat and has a twist that makes you gasp! 5-star winner. I received this as an ARC and voluntarily give my review.
I loved this book, from start to finish. Those of you that have been waiting on Coop and Macs book will not be disappointed. It kept me up all night reading because once I started I couldn’t out it down.
I have been a fan of this series since book 1 but this book has to be my favorite by far!!! Not only does it have one of the team members but two. If you have read this series, you have been hearing little things about Mac and Cooper and now they finally get their book.
Mac was someone that I could understand. For most of the book, she does every thing she can, to push people away or to do things on her own. In some ways, this made her seem a little harsh. While I can understand why someone would think that, I didn’t view her like that because you learn early on in the book what happened to her and why she lives the way she does and why she doesn’t let people in. Everything she does is to protect herself.
You won’t find a better book boyfriend then Coop. He is kind, generous, helpful but yet still very alpha. He has loved Mac for years and knows that she is pushing him away and he’s not having it. Whatever she is facing, they face together whether she likes it or not.
What I liked about this book was the their friendship has already been established. You understand their role on the team with sprinkles of possibly more on the horizon. Coop is sick and tired of waiting, he wants to make Mac his in every way. They just first need to get through this.
Coop had some of the best one liners. Sometimes they were meant to be funny, other times very sarcastic but wonderful to read.
Well Ultimate Risk might be my favorite in the R.I.S.C. series! Coop and Mac have been part of the team since the beginning and everyone around them could feel the sparks between these sniper partners. When Mac plans to leave on a trip to her past Coop finally makes his move after being only her partner for the past 7 years. Coop wants a future with Mac and he knows that now is the time to start on that. The problem? Mac had a completely different life long before she met Coop and is he really up to the challenge of accepting the real Mac? Game on! I cannot give away anymore without ruining their story but know that there is action, tension, heat, humor and love until the very last page! It was told from dual POV and stands alone in the series but I do recommend reading those if you haven’t.
