Bundle up, we're hitting the half-pipe! Living life in the fast lane, adrenaline junkie, Z does everything in excess, from his daring in the half-pipe to his rep in the beds of countless, nameless women. He revels outwardly in being the hotshot, rich, bad boy, boy toy, but his recklessness is hiding nightmares from his past. Ophelia has faced the devastation of loving a larger-than-life bad boy before and it nearly killed her. When Z attempts to charm the pants off Ophelia, she turns the tables and her back on him. Game On, for Z. He wants Ophelia and is determined to break through her defenses, but will his reckless behavior stand between them?Shredded by Tracy Wolff, the first installment in her new Extreme Risk series is charged with electricity, adrenaline, and romance, proving that sometimes, when that special someone comes along, the demons of the past can be exorcised in the light of a new future. Filled with great supporting characters that ooze loyalty to their friend, Z, there was no underlying subplot of jealousy among them, very refreshing. Z is damaged, yes, but his underlying caring and protective nature makes him a very likable character. Ophelia’s past is never gone into in great detail, but what is known made the cautious woman she has become, completely reasonable to believe. Maybe it takes a damaged soul to heal another.Tracy Wolff has done a remarkable job of tying together an extreme sport, romance and acceptance of oneself while moving the story along and never letting it falter! Great writing, strong writing, I was almost shivering out there in the snow!I received an ARC edition from Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept Flirt in exchange for my honest review.
