I really enjoyed reading Worth the Risk by Karen Erickson. I fell in love with Hunter Worth, the hero in book 2 of this series. Hunter is a sexy, wealthy man who's never chased a woman in his life, until now. He cannot stop thinking about Gracie Hayes after sharing a passionate kiss with her one drunken night over a month ago. They are fighting the sexual tension between them as they attend his older brother's wedding and they soon fall back into each other's arm and bed for one night. Their relationship is wrought with uncertainty since they are reluctant to get hurt by expressing their true feelings. I felt bad for Hunter because he really cared about Gracie and put more effort in trying to turn their relationship into something more. He was willing to admit to himself he might be half way in love but then Gracie would start to pull away due to her feelings of unworthiness and fear of abandonment due to her past. I liked that she was a strong, yet vulnerable woman but sometimes her push and pull and insecurity was just too much that I wanted to shake some sense into her. What woman could resist a man like Hunter looking at her hungrily like he did and treating her with such kindness all at the same time? I found myself rooting for Hunter to get thru Gracie's barrier around her heart and finally get her to open up to him and give them a chance. And it wasn't just Grace he had to fight, he had to get thru to her kinda crazy "long lost" grandma who couldn't bear to let her go again and jealousy of his younger brother, Rhett. Their love story was a whirlwind but it was "worth the risk" for both of them as well as me. I cannot wait for Rhett Worth to meet his match in the next book.
