For Years He’s Kept Himself Closely GuardedFormer SEAL Grant Hill believes love brings nothing but pain. Having suffered more loss than any one person ever should, the gruff R.I.S.C. operative has mastered the art of avoidance, …especially when it comes to women. But with his newest bodyguard assignment, Grant’s unwavering determination is put to the ultimate test. He quickly realizes his strong … strong will is no match for the spunky, beautiful redhead who’s filled his dreams since the night they first met.
Can She Be The One To Finally Break Through His Defenses?
Being the daughter of a United States Senator is no walk in the park. Not for Brynnon Cantrell. The independent businesswoman would much rather spend her days knocking down walls and staging homes than rubbing elbows with political supporters or smiling for the press. She’s determined to live life on her terms—and away from her father’s shadow. But when someone starts sending Senator Cantrell threats, Brynnon is forced into the protective shadow of another man. The same gorgeous, emotionally closed-off private security expert she’s spent months trying to forget.
Trusting The Wrong Person May Have Deadly Consequences
The more time Grant and Brynnon spend together, the closer the two become. Soon, they’re giving in to their undeniable attraction. But when the person threatening the Senator sets his sights on Brynnon, Grant not only struggles to open his heart again…he must also fight to keep the woman he’s falling in love with alive.
Unpredictable Risk is Book 5 in the R.I.S.C. Series. With the exception of the first two, each book in the series is a stand-alone with no cliffhanger endings. Every R.I.S.C. couple gets their HEA…they’ll just have to work for it first.
This book contains scenes similar to those found in R-rated movies. For readers 18+**

Threats, lies, murder and mayhem leave Grant trying to protect Bryn without any emotional attachment but what he thought was the worst thing that could happen almost cost him everything he thought he never wanted. What an action packed, heart racing, murder mystery…Loved it!!
Unpredictable Risk compares to the anticipation of watching in slow motion the ticking numbers of a time bomb, while trying to discover which wire is the one to cut so it will not fulfil its intended purpose. This 5th book in the R.I.S.C. Series concerns team member Grant Hill and Brynnon Cantrell, daughter of Senator Cantrell, who has received a death threat worth taking seriously. Grant is Bryn’s bodyguard and amid trying to keep her safe, figure out and end the threat, a slowly building, burning fire of emotions that’s ready to combust between Grant and Bryn. Throw in the unintentional death of soldiers, a dying father wanting justice for his son, a possible connection to the Senator and someone trying to keep a secret worth killing for, this book has it all; action, romance, suspense and an ending that’s to die for. I highly recommend reading this book and all the books in the R.I.S.K. Series. I received an ARC from the author in return for my honest review.
I have waited and waited for Grant’s story. He always put on this guarded shield because of past hurts so I knew when he fell he was gonna fall hard and it was gonna be a kick in the gut to him and one that he was going to fight kicking and screaming. Man he did not disappoint but Brynn was up to the challenge and got in his face about it at every turn… It was a nice sweet romance but it was soooooo much more than that. No it didn’t have as much sexy action as the other books in this series but it was just the right amount for Grant’s story. Any more and I dont think it would have done him justice…. he was just to guarded and hesitant for any more than that. Anna you knocked his story out of the park and it is by far my FAVORITE one yet
Having picked up the spark between these two when they first met previously I knew this story would be coming, what a story it is as well. Exciting and unpredictable, it’s full of action and is quite emotional as well. Both characters have had their share of pain in their past and for Grant it has had him shut down his heart as hard and tight as he possibly can, Brynnon though sneaks past the blocks in such a way he doesn’t stand a chance. The plot wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be from the prelude, so it was a surprise. Gripping and often tense reading, I was 3/4 through before stopping for a break and sleep. It kept my attention and had me holding my breath more than once. Fabulous book and I’m already waiting for the next one.
Grant and Bryn slowly burn up the pages of this book. It’s the fifth in the R.I.S.K. Series and quite possibly my favorite. It has everything action, mystery, laughter and danger!
Grant doesn’t allow himself attachments and has resigned himself to a life without love. Little does he know that an assignment as a bodyguard to a Senators daughter is going to change his life. Bryn is making her way in the house flipping world, focusing on her career instead of finding love after being burned one too many times. Her attraction to her new bodyguard is controllable, right?
Ms. Blakely is a newer author to me, but she is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
The detail with which she writes her characters truly gives you a view into their soul and you feel like you are right there experiencing everything that they do.
Grant & Brynnon are so perfect for each other. I love “watching” the slow fall of these alpha heroes as strong heroines work their way into their hearts.
I’m looking forward to many more wonderfully written books from this author!
This is book 5 in the RISC series and I would absolutely read the previous books before reading this one. In this one we get Grant Hill’s story! Grant is a former Navy SEAL who went through more than he should have and now avoids getting close to others as a result. He has been assigned to Brynnon Cantrell , a senator’s daughter, as protection detail while his team determines whether the threat is real or not. Brynnon knows how protective her father is but she doesn’t believe she needs to have a bodyguard. And she doesn’t want what her father has chosen for his life’s work to interfere with how she wants to live her own. But the more time that Grant and Bryn are forced to spend together, just has the sparks flying even with them both trying to avoid them. And when the danger is closer than any of them thing, Grant has to finally face his fears head on.
I absolutely loved this one! Grant definitely went through more than any person ever should. But he is still this wonderfully decent human being that you can’t help but love. Bryn also knows about loss but instead of closing herself off, she tries to live her life to the fullest and just be happy. The sparks between these two are off the chart right from the beginning. And their interactions together just leave you wanting more. There is plenty of action, suspense, romance, but there is also some heart break that I didn’t see coming. But I loved every bit of it!! And after that epilogue? I need the next book like now! I can’t wait to read more in this series!
Absolutely amazing. This story hooked me right from the prologue. It brought me to tears and also made me laugh.. As for Grant and Brynnon, they are strong and vulnerable at the same time making it an incredible read.. If you want a story that will just suck you in and make you feel this is it..
Well, Grant is the most alpha male that took the longest to realize what he had and then it was too late. He’s steps up to protect Brynnon, a US Senator’s daughter. First hint, he won’t let Coop do it, it has to be him. They’ve met briefly a few months ago and went their separate ways. Brynnon is a hard working entrepreneur, but others don’t see her as that, they see her as the spoiled rich girl. Second hint – the mailbox, Third hint – the meat lover’s pizza. Fourth hint – Dad’s ok with it, Fifth hint, your’re the reason I’m still here and Sixth, the waltz. He is a rule follower, but at every turn Brynnon is breaking his hold on his resolve. It’s a wonderful story of his fall (and I mean this in a good way). Lots of suspense, I was reading really, really fast to find out what would happen at the end.
Ms. Blakely is a great author for any reader and she is definitely a one click author for me. I highly recommend.
I received this advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat!!
I really liked the character of Grant. He is described as this tough, grumpy man who is more machine than man yet as we get to know him we find out this isn’t true at all. What I especially liked was that Grant agreed with this description and when confronted with these things called “feelings” it became uncharted territory.
I liked the character of Brynnon. There were times I question her reasoning but yet it might be because as a reader, I know more than she did. Here is a woman who is trying her hardest to carve out a world for herself not associated with her senators father. She loves to flip homes and does a really good job with it.
The action and suspense in this book was off the charts. It had you guessing who might be the bad guy and yet as suspicion grows, you’re drawn into finding out who wants to hurt Brynnon. You won’t be able to put it down.
This story of Grant and Bryn touched my heart like no other. The heartfelt, gut-wrenching feelings that flow through this story affected me like no other story has in quite a while, and I’m an avid reader.
When a person goes through such pain that they close themselves off to life, another can recognize a kindred soul.
This story is The Best that Anna Blakely has written so far! All I can say is Wow. I laughed; I cried; then I sobbed. This may be a work of fiction but it touched me like it was a real life experience. It is worth so much more than five stars!
Book 5 in the RISC series captures you from the beginning. Anna Blakely takes us on a ride full of action, mystery, emotions, and intrigue while developing a beautiful slow-burning story of love and trust between Grant and Bryn. Another winner in a great series. I love the teaser at the end whetting our appetite for Book 6. I received this as an ARC and voluntarily give my review.
In Unpredictable Risk we finally get to know the quiet enigma that is Grant Hill. I have been wondering if anyone could break down his private walls and smart and sexy Brynnon Cantrell is the woman that he finally lets in! Grant met Brynnon when he was assigned to her senator father’s security detail at the end of book 4. Now the senator has assigned Grant to protect his daughter because of continued threats against him. No matter how attracted Brynnon is to Grant the last thing that she wants is a babysitter. She is too busy in her life and doesn’t have the time or patience for a guard. Grant is torn between his attraction to Brynnon and keeping his distance. He is a complicated man for many reasons and if you want to know those reasons you are going to have to read their story. I was told from dual POV and is loaded with action, angst, laughter, heat and love. I cannot wait to read the next RISC story!
Anna Blakely did it again and wrote a great book. I loved Grant, I believe he is my favorite so far. It is a great read and I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. If you like Susan Stoker, Caitlyn O’Leary, Riley Edwards you are gonna love Anna Blakely.
Anna Blakely does it again. A book you won’t want to put down. It’s a slow burn with action heart and heat along with the characters from previous books. You get a real feel for Grant. A man who has closed himself off from feeling. The young person he was, the man he is and the man he wants to be. Brynnon is a young women who has had her world jaded yet manages to keep her heart open. Loved her spunk and sass. Get ready for a heartfelt ride with surprises that will grab your attention. Can’t wait for mare. Definitely recommend this book along with the series.
