Sierra Gibbs, the third born in a set of triplets, has
always been the one everyone worries about. With a degree
in psychology and sociology, she teaches at Georgetown
doing research and writing a book. Even though she's highly
successful, Sierra hides behind her books and packs her
inhaler and blue note cards for list-making. Her latest
list is a five-step plan for initiating a sexual
relationship with a man.
While on her way to meet her sisters, Sierra is nearly
knocked over at the bar at the Blue Pepper and is saved by
a good-looking man. As she kneels to gather the contents of
her bag, so does he and the chemistry begins.
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, Ryder needed to
mend his ways and so joined the military. It was discovered
that he had a special talent, so he was transferred to the
special forces. Now he owns Kane Management, a successful
security system business. Knowing he'll probably spend his
life alone, he's never let himself feel anything for a
woman. While waiting at the bar for a friend in need of his
help, Ryder can't miss the woman who appears to be quite
nervous. When she's knocked over at the bar, he jumps in to
save her. The attraction is instant and something he's
never felt before. Even more interesting is the blue note
card she leaves behind.
Sierra is on her way to the Blue Pepper for a speed dating
session for her research on her five-step plan when Ryder
calls and insists she grant him the 10 minutes the other
men would receive. After doing so, Sierra knows no other
man can top Ryder. Getting caught in traffic, Ryder asks
her to deliver a message to the friend he was to meet the
night before. Sierra and Ryder don't know that by
delivering the message, Sierra's life will be endangered.
And with the first attempt on her life, Ryder insists on
being her bodyguard until the bad guys are caught. Being
with each other night and day is going to be harder than
either thought, so they agree to be professional during the
day and explore their desires at night. But that rule is
shot to hell as soon as it's made.
This is the perfect ending to the Risking It All series. It
has the perfect balance of suspense, action and romance. I
particularly like THE FAVOR because you get to see women
who're intelligent but have some major fears to overcome.
And Ryder is so good-looking and fun-hearted, you can't
help fall in love with him yourself. I've been fortunate
enough to read each story in this series, and I recommend
them all. I applaud Ms. Summers in the fine work she's
done.
