Detective Logan Riske seeks justice after his best friend
is
murdered. When it is discovered that there is a potential
witness to the crime, Logan remains determined to do
whatever it takes to gain the answers he wants.
Rowdy Yates and his sister, Pepper are on the run, hiding
their true identities and taking on fake names. At the
moment, Pepper is called Sue Meeks, a name that they hope
will deter any suspicious eyes in their direction. She
takes
on a shy personality, remaining conscious of her every
action and word because she knows that her true identity
can
be so easily revealed. She knows that this is the only way
to keep her and her brother safe.
Pepper doesn't know it, but Detective Logan knows who she
really is. He makes a great effort to gain her trust and
companionship so that in the off chance she makes contact
with her brother, Logan can swoop in and capture Rowdy, the
sole witness to the crime he desperately wants to be solved.
Yet neither Logan nor Sue can deny the instant attraction
that electrifies between them. It is as if they are
tethered
to one another, making their need for one another grow in
leaps and bounds.
There is quite a drastic transformation in the heroine as
she takes on the personality of Sue Meeks in the beginning
and who she is as Pepper Yates later. Since the
personalities are so different, it made the romance
somewhat
unbelievable because how could Logan fall in love with both
the timid Sue and the feisty Pepper? However, I did find
that Pepper's personality was far more suited to Logan in
the end. Sue's character seemed to impede some of the the
natural progression of the romance.
Lori Foster creates an interesting dynamic in RUN THE RISK,
the first book
of a new series. Taking deception, mystery and suspense to
a
whole other level, Foster shows readers just how revealing
true love can be.
Nothing can shake a cop from pursuing justice-except a
beautiful witness marked for death, in New York Times
bestselling author Lori Foster's sexy new series...
When Detective Logan Riske goes undercover to find Pepper
Yates, a potential link to his best friend's unsolved
murder, he vows to gain her cooperation by any means
necessary. But the elusive beauty is more suspicious-and in
far more danger-than he expected. And the last thing Logan
needs is to start caring for her....
Pepper has spent years dodging the corrupt club owner who
will stop at nothing to keep her silenced. She can trust no
one, not even the handsome new "construction worker" who's
moved in next door. The heat between them is undeniable.
But
will surrendering to passion bring her the safety she so
desires-or will her feelings for Logan draw them both into
a
killer's crosshairs?
