Risky (Adventures in Love Book 2)

Product Information

Blake has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Not only does he have a business to look after, but he also holding onto a secret that will affect the emotional state of his mother and sister. How do you tell your family the one person they depend on has cancer and it’s not treatable? Even if he could tell them, he has promised to keep his dad’s cancer a secret. So to say he has the weight of the world on his shoulders is an understatement. The only person he’s able to confide in is the new single mother Live Life Adventures just hired. Asher has had zero problem getting women, that changed with November, though. All he thinks about now, is making November his woman and protecting her against all the bad things.

Then we have Everly. This woman gets the mother of the year award in the romance world! I loved the fact that she was a mother first, her son was her main priority. The way she cared for and doted on Sampson brought tears to my eyes. She was not only caring and nurturing, but she was also fiercely protective and independent when it came to raising her son. I loved every facet of her character. I don’t think any heroine to come in this series will top my love for Everly’s character.

Blake is one of those alphas who just dives on in and becomes a part of the heroine’s life, calling her “babe”, stepping in to help wherever possible, caring for little Sam, and dropping little moments of affection (hand brushes, soft kisses, etc.). It works for him and all of his gruffness, and Everly is happy to get swept away in it all, and I enjoyed watching these two fall easily and naturally into a relationship. They are open and honest with each other, they are so sweet together, and of course there’s sexy time and feels that come along with that. Is he going to be able to prove that it is worth it to fall in love with him again? Not to mention, can he change the plans he has made with his life to allow her into his heart?

This is a great writer, with a top notch ability to tell a great story with a strong male main character. Some do not feel that time is even moving when they read a story she has written, and three hours have actually gone by. Fans of the novel found themselves addicted to these brothers; as they like reading about them and do not need anything in the way of a remedy. Cash forgot what it was like to be loved until Lilly returned to him and his life. Now he remembers. And now, he will do all that he can to keep both the woman he loves and his kids. I love this small town series and this one was pretty good it had moments where I shook my head and rolled my eyes at Mav. I was also confused why he had this sad puppy lost look in book 2 with someone name Ozzie? and now falling for Jade? Did Aurora change couples? Risky plays on the grumpy heroine angle that ARR so deftly crafts with our hero Blake. Yet again, we’re visiting Live Life Adventures, as heroine Everly is a new office manager to owner Blake- and that ARR spark hits fast, and grumpy but endearing Blake goes all alpha, but like a sweet, diet version. Everly has moved home with her young son, restarting her life as a single mother. Trevor hits her with rejection and she starts moving on. Trevor finds that it is not so easy to let her go entirely. The more he avoids her, the stronger his feelings get for Liz. He is only able to take so much of it, before he snaps.Adventures In Love captures everything that makes Aurora Rose Reynolds- romantic spark, small town, fast-falling characters, and low angst dreamy charm. Aurora’s characters always capture my heart, and I’m loving the whole Adventure crew. Oh, and I just want to say I hope this series isn't over yet. I know we've kind of got pieces of Margret and Mason's story throughout the series so far, but I would still love them to get their own book. I also wouldn't mind Ken's ex getting her own story as well. This book isn't so much about them getting to know each other and falling, it's more about them both having baggage to deal with, but help each other through. There's no drama in the relationship, it comes from outside influences. But it seems the guy who’s about as friendly as a grizzly bear has a soft spot for her and her son…and the more time she spends with him, the more difficult it is to remember why giving in to the chemistry between them is a bad idea. I love what Jade has done with her new beginning. She has built something new for herself and has come out of her shell a bit, even if she is more of a couch potato like me!

FOr the most part, the plot is pretty low drama and angst- in fact, it feels a bit tranquil, not overly exciting in any places. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a quieter story to me compared to the sparks of the first- it was a nice, placid retreat from the world around me. When she has some free time, she loves to read, write, and going to the movies with her husband; spending time with her dog and her husband, in any way are other things that she enjoys doing in her freetime. This husband of hers is both an alpha male and he loves her as much as the men in her books live their women. Reynolds loves going to small vacations to nowhere or spending time with friends and family at her home. Not to mention the fact that she is able to admire the beauty in the world and appreciates everyday.We get to know Blake a bit throughout the first book in this series and he doesn’t always come across as a supportive friend. I really appreciated the insight we get into Blake in this book, which helped me to understand part of the reason why he acted the way he did in the first book. Like Everly, I did have sympathy for him and the things he was going through that caused him pain. Even though it wasn't an excuse to act the way he did, it did immediately soften my feelings for him. Chemistry wise, this one felt a bit more on the instalove side. Blake was a bit of a jerk in Rushed, so I enjoyed getting to see more nuances to him and just what makes him the grumpy creature he is- and he ends up being quite endearing. He doesn’t go full caveman alpha jerk like some ARR leading mean- he’s on the softer end of the alpha spectrum- but he’s still got all the growly edge we love in a ARR leading man. And Everly is a classic ARR heroine- likable, hardworking, and resilient. We also get the treat of seeing Blake bond with Everly’s son- and that was just adorable watching these three form their own little family unit. I absolutely love any story that includes a grumbly alpha hero that goes soft with a baby and Blake fits my craving for such a character to perfection. With a little jealousy in the beginning and a whole lot of protectiveness I fell faster than Everly. But then again, all she was seeing was the grumpy side of his nature as he struggled with his preconceived notions and incorrect assumptions. She enjoys all kinds of music, like: Drake, Sam Hunt, Adele, and Ed Sheeran. Her favorite candy is anything covered with dark chocolate. She also loves rum, wishes she could break dance, and is a super nerd. The second book in the Adventures in Love series, this is a short and sweet read and a fast-moving romance between a single mum finding her feet, and a grumpy-yet-hurting hero.

Until Trevor” is the second novel in the “Until” series and was released in the year 2013. Trevor Mayson planned his entire life out. Mainly, he would just make the family business a successful one, and keep on hooking up with women a few more years before finding a wife. That changes when he meets Liz Hayes. She is gorgeous, shy, not to mention everything he ever wanted in a woman. The only bad thing is that she does not fit into the plans he has made. I enjoyed how Everly seemed to bring Blake out of his slump. She was funny and easy to like. The whole friend group embraced her. From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes a steamy romance about what happens when a risk-taker tries to follow the rules.
