Megan Loxley had loved her best friend, Desmond Reed, from afar.  She is tired of waiting for him to notice her as more than a friend.  Desmond unintentionally introduces Megan to Alex Truman at a party and the sparks fly between the two of them.  Now Desmond is left on the outside looking in, watching the girl he could have had falling in love with the guy he is learning to hate.  Reeling with his jealousy, Desmond is distancing himself from the two lovebirds.  Megan is feeling the growing chasm between her and her best friend and doesn't know what to do.  Finally events unfold and it looks as though Megan will get her cake and eat it too!Raising the Stakes was a quick read that had some eye-opening parts that made this reviewer squirm a bit.  The feelings that they all struggled with seemed to be on track and I liked the fact that they weighed their options before sealing their fate.  It was a bit different to have an experienced, adventuresome heroine as opposed to the same in a hero, but that just added to the dynamics of the story.VanessaReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
