Oh boy, did this story get me hot and bothered!! I wasn't expecting this to be such a scorcher!! If you want a SMOKING HOT read with a dominant, possessive, and bossy man, look no further! His Risk to Take will push all your buttons!Troy had just moved to New York from Chicago after losing his partner on the force, Grant, in a sting gone bad.  He's crushed every time he thinks of Grant, and the family he left behind.  Troy feels responsible.  While out a at bar with his new police buddies he can't stop thinking about the tragedy until a black-haired, green-eyed beauty walks in, and proceeds to hustle some sucker at pool.  He can't take his eyes off her body as she executes an expert game.  Troy steps in to save her when the sore loser looks like he's about to get violent. Things heat up between these two after that rather quickly:"After watching the show you just put on, I have a lot of things in mind." One hand left the bar to brush her hip. Ruby couldn't stop herself from backing up, bringing her body flush against his.  Troy hummed in satisfaction at her boldness. "Next time you bend over a table, I'm going to wrap all that hair around my fist and pull your head back. I want to watch your eyes as I ---- you into oblivion."Oh my!!But Ruby doesn't plan on losing her head.  She's even more reluctant when she finds out Troy is a cop.  However, Troy isn't about to take any brush off from Ruby, and if she thinks so, she has another thing coming!  Her heart secretly soars at his persistence.  But when Troy finds out that Ruby is connected to a dangerous case he's working on, he's not sure being involved with him won't get her killed.  He's torn between letting her go to keep her safe, or locking her away in his protective custody.  (I know which I vote for!)Ms. Bailey definitely has a talent for writing a prime Alpha-male!! Troy wasn't the flowers and hearts sort of guy, but his protective and caring side more than made up for it.  I loved his dirty mouth and bossy ways.  And a man in uniform, who can resist?!!  Definitely not me!Ruby was a great character as well.  She's not one to wallow in self-pity.  Even though she came from a shady background she is trying to pull herself out of that lifestyle, and has managed to secure a promising future on her own.  When she figures out how much she cares about Troy, she's willing to put her safety on the line to make sure he's okay.If you're a fan of Kristen Ashley's type of Alpha-male (maybe a little less caveman than KA's), I would definitely pick this up because you are in for a treat!  I breezed through this story and found myself sorry when I got to the last page.  I highly recommend Ms. Bailey's addictive, fun and spicy writing!  This is the second in the Line of Duty series, but it's not necessary to pick up the first to enjoy this.  I didn't read it before picking this up, and it was not an issue.  Although, after finishing this I quickly picked up Protecting What's His and I'm currently 21% in and LOVING it!
