Worth The Risk was unexpected in the best way possible. Shannon Davis is a new author and as far as debut novels go this one was fantastic. The moment I started reading I was sucked into the story and this one will take you on an emotional ride.

The book is split into two different parts. The first part starts when Rebecca and Jackson are eight and instantly become best friends and continues until they are seniors in high school. Their friendship is precious and seeing that progress into more for the both of them was beautiful and sweet, however, despite feeling love for each other neither of them could fully show the other. The second part of the book jumps ahead ten years and it is their high school reunion. What happened during that ten year span is explained and is just as emotional as the first part.

I love these characters. Rebecca is strong, she is fighter and after learning everything she experienced I have so much respect for her, but I also just want to give her a hug. Jackson, my heart broke for him throughout the entire book. For everything he experienced as a child, to the struggles he has to continue to face as an adult. However, even after ten years have passed the chemistry and connection between Rebecca and Jackson is strong.

Worth The Risk is a beautifully written and emotional journey with a hint of mystery and suspense that will have you falling in love with Rebecca and Jackson from the start. A MUST READ!
