This whole contest was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a long story, but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you\u2019ve seen advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I\u2019m successful, if I\u2019m able to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the one thing I never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number ten, Grayson Malone. Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell?<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately he knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him alone to raise the cutest little boy I\u2019ve ever seen. <\/span><\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t want a relationship. And I definitely don\u2019t fall for single dads with baggage. Even ones with chiseled abs and killer smiles. <\/span><\/p>\n

But he got to me. They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. \u00a0But I got to him too. I see the stolen glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there\u2019s an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life. <\/span><\/p>\n

And now that the contest is about to end, we\u2019re left to decide whether the last six months were just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all?<\/span><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 \u201cWorth the risk\u201d stars!<\/p>\n

Worth the Risk<\/i>\u00a0is the third book in the Everyday Heroes<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>series and\u00a0features the third Malone brother, Grayson, who is a rescue pilot and a single dad burned in the past by the girl with whom he thought he would raise a family. When she leaves him alone with their son he swears off relationships and focuses his time on his son and job.<\/p>\n

Then Sidney walks into his life and completely upends it. He\u2019s not prepared for the blast from the past and is not too keen on doing the Hot Dad contest even if he is supposedly a finalist. Though Sidney stirs mixed feelings inside Grayson, he can\u2019t seem to stay away from her and it\u2019s only a matter of time before the attraction between them becomes too hard to deny.<\/p>\n

What more can you want than a sexy man with a sweet son and a huge heart? Nothing! Worth the Risk<\/i> is a sweet, swoony, sexy read with a broken hero, a determined heroine, and an adorable child.<\/p>\n

Grayson is hot but more than that he is an amazing father so he definitely deserves to be in the hot dad contest. I loved him with his son, Luke. He is so caring and sweet and doesn\u2019t want his son\u2019s heart broken any more than it has been already. Grayson always puts Luke first but he isn\u2019t perfect. His insecurities and vulnerabilities about how to be a parent and what is best for Luke make him human and realistic.\u00a0I felt his pain surrounding what went down with Luke\u2019s mom and I wanted to take it all away. He did everything to protect his son and I loved watching him grow as a father and as a man when Sidney becomes part of his life.<\/p>\n

I really liked Sidney. She works hard and goes after what she wants even when there are challenges setting her back a few steps. I felt bad for the way some of the people in her life saw her and treated her and I loved that in the end she proved herself. She grows a lot throughout this book and I love watching her see a different side to things when it comes to what the people around her have and work toward. She isn’t the same girl from years ago and I think she proved who she really was.<\/p>\n

Grayson and Sidney are so good together. The banter is amusing and the chemistry is scorching. The sexual tension between them is palpable from the beginning, and the fact that they knew each other before but didn\u2019t have a good relationship makes the attraction and desperate pull more intense. I could feel the emotions from the past fighting with the emotions of the present.<\/p>\n

Sidney reminds Grayson of everything that lead to his heartbreak and I understood why he pushed her away as hard as he did even if it frustrated me at times. The hot and cold goes on a while but there is some delicious sexy time while they sort through their feelings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to make noise, Princess.\u201d The tug of his teeth on my ear as his fingers tuck back in and curve against my G-spot. \u201cI want you to scream.\u201d A soft tug of my hair. \u201cAnd I want to know you know who\u2019s making you scream.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s not all happy times on the road to their HEA and they hit several roadblocks along the way, some of which are from their own doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou take risks every damn day in your job \u2013 you\u2019ve made a name for yourself doing it \u2013 and yet, you won\u2019t take a goddamn risk on me, will you?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, I loved the way things came together and I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better resolution. The epilogue was perfect and the ending made me smile.<\/p>\n

I have to add that I loved seeing Grayson\u2019s brothers, Grant (Cuffed<\/i><\/a>) and Grady (Combust<\/i><\/a>), again. The relationship between the three brothers is hilarious but full of so much love and I enjoyed seeing them together.<\/p>\n

Worth the Risk<\/i>\u00a0is another sweet, sexy standalone in the series and I can\u2019t wait for more. Desi\u2019s book,\u00a0Control<\/i>, is coming November 2018.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

But by the time I reach her, my blood boils with irrationality spurred on by too much alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCan I have a moment?\u201d I ask as I walk up to her and grab her elbow, pushing her down the darkened hallway.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is your problem?\u201d She hisses as she fights me every step of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

We get looks. I get looks. I don\u2019t care because all I keep seeing is Vince\u2019s hands on her arm. His eyes on her tits. His bullshit game I can spot a mile away.<\/span><\/p>\n

I find the closest door down the hallway leading to the bathrooms, and it opens. I push her through it, barely noticing that it\u2019s an office of sorts before the door is shut, her back is up against it, and my mouth is covering hers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Goddammit. That\u2019s my only thought as I fit my lips to hers and take out my anger on her mouth with tongue and teeth and every fucking lick and nip in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so pissed at you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all I say. It\u2019s the only chance I give her to come up for air before my lips are back on hers. Before my tongue wars with hers. Before my body admits it would beg, borrow, and steal in order to taste every other part of her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Groan.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I swallow the tiny sound she makes in our kiss as my hands hold her neck still and my lips wage an all-out assault. She hesitates\u2014just a split second\u2014before she reacts. Before her body bows into me, and her mouth argues back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fist.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Her hand in my shirt. Her other hand at the back of my neck as our bodies meet\u2014pressed knee to chest. Her perfume in my nose. Her hair tickling my cheeks. The feel of her tits against my chest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Give.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t get enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m mad at her.<\/span><\/p>\n

I want her.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to want her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ, do I want her.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cGray.\u201d A murmured protest.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tear my lips from hers, shove off the door I have her pressed against, and stride to the other side of the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou are . . . you just . . .\u201d It\u2019s as if I can barely breathe. Christ, I\u2019m mad at you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She stands there, lips parted, chest heaving, and golden brown curls messed from my hands, but her eyes look hurt. A hurt I don\u2019t want to see but can\u2019t deny.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou did this,\u201d I accuse as I try to manage the anger that\u2019s waging a war against my desire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDid what?\u201d Her eyes narrow. Her hand goes to press against her chest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMade me want you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
