Y’all, this book. It’s everything For those of you who have
been waiting for Grayson Malone’s story, it’s finally here! Worth The Risk
(formerly known as Cockpit) is a must read! Scroll down for all the details
including an excerpt, my review and a look at the original cover!
This whole contest
was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words.
It’s a long story,
but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I
promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you’ve seen
advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I’m successful, if I’m able
to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job.
But the one thing I
never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number ten, Grayson Malone.
Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell?
Unfortunately he
knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of
before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him
alone to raise the cutest little boy I’ve ever seen.
But I don’t want a
relationship. And I definitely don’t fall for single dads with baggage. Even
ones with chiseled abs and killer smiles.
But he got to me.
They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. But I got to him too. I see the stolen
glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there’s
an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life.
And now that the
contest is about to end, we’re left to decide whether the last six months were
just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all?
But by the time I reach her, my blood boils with
irrationality spurred on by too much alcohol.
“Can I have a moment?” I ask as I walk up to her and grab
her elbow, pushing her down the darkened hallway.
“What is your problem?” She hisses as she fights me every
step of the way.
We get looks. I get looks. I don’t care because all I keep
seeing is Vince’s hands on her arm. His eyes on her tits. His bullshit game I
can spot a mile away.
I find the closest door down the hallway leading to the
bathrooms, and it opens. I push her through it, barely noticing that it’s an
office of sorts before the door is shut, her back is up against it, and my
mouth is covering hers.
Take.
Goddammit. That’s my only thought as I fit my lips to hers
and take out my anger on her mouth with tongue and teeth and every fucking lick
and nip in between.
“What—”
“I’m so pissed at you.”
It’s all I say. It’s the only chance I give her to come up
for air before my lips are back on hers. Before my tongue wars with hers.
Before my body admits it would beg, borrow, and steal in order to taste every
other part of her.
Groan.
I swallow the tiny sound she makes in our kiss as my hands
hold her neck still and my lips wage an all-out assault. She hesitates—just a
split second—before she reacts. Before her body bows into me, and her mouth
argues back.
Fist.
Her hand in my shirt. Her other hand at the back of my neck
as our bodies meet—pressed knee to chest. Her perfume in my nose. Her hair
tickling my cheeks. The feel of her tits against my chest.
Give.
I can’t get enough.
I’m mad at her.
I want her.
I don’t want to want her.
Christ, do I want her.
“Gray.” A murmured protest.
I tear my lips from hers, shove off the door I have her
pressed against, and stride to the other side of the room.
“You are . . . you just . . .” It’s as if I can barely
breathe. Christ, I’m mad at you.”
She stands there, lips parted, chest heaving, and golden
brown curls messed from my hands, but her eyes look hurt. A hurt I don’t want
to see but can’t deny.
“Why?”
“You did this,” I accuse as I try to manage the anger that’s
waging a war against my desire.
“Did what?” Her eyes narrow. Her hand goes to press against
her chest.
“Made me want you.”
When I read a book and I loved it enough to read a second
time (or third, fourth, fifth, etc) and it gives me the same range of emotions
as it did with the first read, it shows me how talented the author is with
words and keeps me coming back for more. Worth The Risk is one such book. K.
Bromberg never fails to bring out all the emotions with her stories and Worth
The Risk will bring them bubbling to the surface. We've got hot single dad
Grayson Malone who loves his job as a rescue pilot and will do everything to
protect his son, Luke. We've got Sidney Thorton who is in town to help a
flailing magazine by running a hot dad contest. Throw in a precocious 8 year
old, some well-meaning instigators, lots of hot chemistry and you've got one
heck of a story. I couldn't put it down. It's one to add to your must read
list.
And for those of you who have been wondering “What happened
to Cockpit?,” Kristy has explained that Cockpit was rebranded to Worth The Risk
because she felt it was more fitting for Grayson and Sidney’s story. But, I’ve
got a little treat for you…a look at the original cover of Cockpit (now known
as Worth The Risk.) I admit, I’m kinda in love with both of them!
