Book Review: Risky Business by Melissa Cutler

Rating:

A story about reinventing oneself after a life-changing traumatic event, Risky Business follows Allison Whitley and Theo Lacroix.

Wounded in Afghanistan, Theo Lacroix reinvented himself as a canal boat operator in Destiny Falls, a town located near Niagara Falls.

Meanwhile, fresh from a bitter divorce, single mom Allison Whitley went to Destiny Falls to reboot her life.

Risky Business is as much as a romance as it is about facing obstacles head on and winning. That the hero and heroine fell in love is actually icing on the cake. The meat of the story is actually how Allison and Theo were able to pass the hurdles that life threw at them and came out stronger.

Risky Business is Rated M for Mature due to adult situations and sexual content.

Description

Welcome to Destiny Falls, New York, home of the Bomb Squad—an ice hockey team full of rugged military heroes. But the season’s biggest match-up isn’t on the ice as one of their own prepares to go head to head with his new boss…

Allison Whitely’s ex left her with a mountain of debt and Cloud Nine, a struggling boat rental business. With zero job skills, her only hope of getting back in the black lies in a brooding ex-soldier who has her seeing red…

Theo Lacroix’s teammates are counting on their star player to help them win an upcoming high profile hockey game. But when a sexy tornado of a woman sweeps into town and expects him to help her with Cloud Nine, Theo is tempted to skate away from it all.

Theo vowed to never again be someone’s knight in shining armor, but his feelings—and desire—for Allison are becoming harder to ignore. He longs to save her, but to win Allison’s love, he’ll have to throw out his old playbook and take the ultimate risk…playing from the heart.
