Worth the Risk reunites former college lovers 10 years later in an emotional and steamy journey towards forgiveness after a secret tore apart their HEA that had just begun.  Can old hurts be overcome or will uncertainties about the future continue to hold them back?  In the capable hands of Anne Lange you get to experience Tanner and Molly's pain as you root for them to be reunited in an immensely sweet and satisfying HEA.Tanner thought he and Molly would be together forever until she blindsided him by walking away without an explanation.  Since then he's never forgotten her and is now given one weekend to get her back.  Tanner is one sexy beast solely focused on Molly and uses his sexual prowess to start winning her back from the moment he arrives at the campsite.  Tanner is understanding and supportive once Molly opens up about the past and I ached for the newfound hurts she's given him.  No matter what pain he's going through though he still supports Molly.  He's always put her first and if given the chance again he always will.While I adored everything about Tanner, I had some issues with Molly. First and foremost is her leaving Tanner all those years ago.  With as much love as they had for each other, her doubting him cheapened what they had.  She made everything all about her and cheated him out of a future he believed in wholeheartedly.  By continuing to keep her secret (a secret that is pretty obvious early on), and by letting fear rule her, she continues to cheat Tanner out of his future.  She's taken his free will away.  She continues to cheat herself too by living by what-ifs.  I know that she too is hurting but love is a healing balm and having his support all these years would've helped her heal faster. Keeping her secret seemed cowardly and letting unfounded fears rule her shows a woman of weak will.  It's only when she's with Tanner that she shows an inner strength as she finally lets go of the guilt.As Molly and Tanner reunite through numerous steamy sexual encounters (and there are A LOT of encounters) we get brief glimpses of a fun and supportive group of friends and I was intrigued by all of them.  It was easy to immerse myself in this story as each memeber of the group was easy to relate to.  On a whole this story was sexy yet heartwarming, intensely emotional and painful with an epilogue that's uplifting and joyous.  Ms. Lange has created a wonderful hero and sets us on an emotional roller coaster ride that ends in an immensely satisfying conclusion.  So take a risk and read Worth the Risk.
