When a ruthless mob leader killed Sera's brother, she vows
justice. As an undercover cop with the NYPD, she is
determined to find evidence that will take his killer
down.
Bowen is working undercover too, only he's working for law
immunity and family protection. When the two collide, both
fall dangerously in love in the middle of a vengeful mob
showdown.
Tessa Bailey nails another romance with RISKING IT ALL.
She
masters the fears and thrills of finding and executing
justice in an underbelly of danger while combining the
searing heat of a romance that seems impossible to end
well.
The plot is exciting and daring, full of perfected nuances
that carry the reader through twists and turns.
Sera and Bowen are beautifully crafted characters. I love
Sera's fierceness, and Bowen's cheeky humor is hilarious.
On
a deeper level, both grow wonderfully, although once you
come to love them, their fall backs and weak moments are
painful to read (in the best way). Both face heavy issues
with their families, and they deal with them (or not)
realistically. One of my favorite parts of this novel is
when the two realize they might make a good family as a
couple. Their sexual chemistry explodes on the page, as
anything written by Tessa Bailey will, and every physical
encounter they have feels fresh, exciting, and brimming
with
emotional outpour.
Romance readers should stock up on Tessa Bailey's novels.
RISKING IT ALL is another brilliant, romantic suspense
addition to her body of work. Sera and Bowen will take
your
heart through the ringer, and you will love them all the
more for it by the end. I can't recommend this enough for
readers who like their couples with a healthy side of
crime
fighting action.
Seraphina Newsom isn't looking for vengeance…she wants
justice. Three years ago, Sera's brother was ruthlessly
gunned down by one of Brooklyn’s most dangerous mob
kingpins. The investigation has stalled out, deemed “too
dangerous” by the police commissioner. So to track down
the
evidence she needs to take down her brother’s killer,
Sera
turns in her hospital scrubs, joins the NYPD, and goes
undercover. Unsanctioned. Alone.
He’ll live to keep her safe.
With his father behind bars, Bowen Driscol has
reluctantly
taken over his family’s sprawling South Brooklyn crime
operation. New York's finest have other plans. By
threatening the safety of his sister, they “convince”
Bowen
to extricate a rogue cop who’s in over her head. But when
he
meets Sera and feels that deep, damning shiver of desire
course through him, Bowen knows there's only one way to
keep
her safe without blowing either of their covers…by
claiming
her as his own.
