I am a huge fan of Tessa Bailey and I absolutely loved Protecting What's His. It's one of my favorite reads of 2013! So you can imagine how excited I was to get my hands on His Risk to Take!Troy Bennett has recently relocated from Chicago to New York. He's a homicide detective and needed a change of scenery after the tragic death of his partner in a raid gone bad.After his first week on the job, he goes out for drinks with some of the guys. They are joking around and asking him whether he prefers blondes or brunettes, when Ruby Elliott walks in and captures his attention.Ruby is a professional pool hustler. Taught by her father, it's all she knows and how she pays her bills. She is sassy, street smart, and fiercely independent, not used to having someone take care of her.Not realizing he's a cop, Ruby takes an immediate liking to Troy. Keeping in mind this is a novella, they are both smitten with a case of insta-lust.Troy is a possessive alpha male who likes to dominate in the bedroom. Even though Ruby is usually so strong and outspoken, she finds that she likes to relinquish control in the bedroom. I think their first night together is quite possibly the hottest "non-sex" sex scene I've ever read.Honestly, my only complaint is that this is a novella. I definitely preferred the first book in this series because it was a full-length novel with more developed characters and a longer storyline. But if you're in the mood for a short and steamy read, this definitely fits the bill!ARC provided by Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
