Tessa Bailey definitely has a knack for creating super alpha males and women who knock them off their feet. His Risk To Take is no different. The entire book takes place within a month’s time span, the passion is strong and the steam exciting.Troy Bennett is a recent addition to the NYPD, having transferred due to his partner’s death in Chicago. His only interests lie in work and indulging in whatever vice will allow him to forget his grief and guilt. While out with some police buddies, Troy is blown away by Ruby the moment he sees her walk into Quincy’s bar.Ruby has not had an easy life. Abandoned by her mother when she was young, she’s been raised by her pool-hustling father. Getting into the con-game herself is something that she’s used to make her way through life until she graduates college and can open her own business. When she meets Troy she’s thrown for a loop as he makes her submit and that’s something she’s never done for anyone.Troy and Ruby are a great couple. The passion between the two is undeniable and strong. While the story is a little lacking and completely done before, it’s easy to look over because of these two. Troy is a filthy-mouthed alpha who dominates in the bedroom. My kind of hero. Ruby is strong herself, having had to essentially live on her own for some time, but when it comes to Troy, she’s just putty in his hands. It great to see because she doesn’t lose who she is in the meantime. I think that’s one thing a lot of authors have trouble with, but not Tessa Bailey.His Risk To Take was something I read because I not only wanted to continue with Tessa’s Line of Duty novels, but because I needed something strong, sexy and fun. It delivers on all fronts.
