Reviewed by Geminifor Read Your Writes Book ReviewsThe Big Uneasy Relatively Risky is about Nell Whitby and Alex Baker. Nell is an illustrator/librarian who has lived an ordinary life until she meets Alex Baker. Alex Baker is the oldest of 13 brothers and sisters. He also happens to be a New Orleans Police Officer. They have an unlikely meeting one night in New Orleans that changes both of their lives forever.This started out to be a difficult book to read. The first 25 percent of the book seemed to have a bunch of information piled in that made the mystery surrounding Nell Whitby hard to follow. Luckily, I powered through and was able to get to a point where I could follow along easily. The mystery is actually rather interesting. It surrounds the true identity of Nell's parents. She grew up in Wyoming and had no idea that her now deceased parents had their roots in The Big Easy where she has lived for the past two years.Of course, there is some chemistry between her and Alex Baker but it isn't as pronounced as I have seen in other romantic suspense novels. The book focuses most of it's attention on a mafia family and its many secrets. There is plenty of action and intrigue once you get past the convoluted backstory. Since there is so much mystery, I can't give much details about the book itself. I will say that if there is a sequel, I would read it.Source: Author
