I am a huge Karen Erickson fan and I always look forward to reading her wonderful romance novels.  This time I read Worth the Risk (Worth It), book two in the "Worth It" series.  Although it is the second book in the series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone.  These books are about the hardworking, yet wealthy lifestyle of the Worth brothers; Alex, Hunter and Rhett.  This story is about Hunter, the gorgeous middle brother and successful businessman.Hunter runs the marketing division of Worth Industries.  His staff includes Gracie Hayes, a sophisticated, knowledgeable and smart marketing manager.  Gracie's instincts and natural abilities to read the market trends prove invaluable time after time.  Defying the odds of her upbringing, Gracie is a huge success.  She was abandoned by her Mom when she was five and is a product of the foster care system.  For the majority of her lie, she has relied solely upon herself for everything and anything.Gracie has been an employee of Worth for about a year and loves her job.  Hunter is her boss and she has been attracted to him from the moment they met.  About a month ago, they shared a short, passionate make-out session in the back of a local pub.  And from that day on, their lives have never been the same.  Both think about each other constantly and relive their passionate encounter.Working along-side each other platonically, along with some occasional mind-blowing sex, is creating havoc.  Both Gracie and Hunter have trouble expressing themselves and communicating their true feelings.  Gracie believes she is not good enough for Hunter and pushes him away.  Hunter has never experienced being in love and is having difficulty adjusting to needing, as well as wanting someone.  Luckily, they are able to work through some relationship barriers and map out a future together.This is another well-written, spicy romance from Karen Erickson.  I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
