Worth the Risk by K. Bromberg
5.0

Now first off, the cover doesn't match the first two in the series. And I get why the author changed, although honestly, since there was the hot dad contest that Grayson was in, the original cover would still have worked in my opinion. I have to say after reading/listening to this one though, it is probably my favorite. And the reason for that is that Luke, Grayson's 8 year old son, totally steals the story/show/book. He made me cry whenever he asked his dad about getting him a mom, made me laugh with his talk about innies and outies, and I smiled so much when he asked Sidney to go the picnic with him and his grandma. In fact I was a little disappointed that the little epilogue didn't actually have him in it really.

It took a bit of time, almost halfway through the book before we got into any steamy stuff though, but once we did, it was the usual good stuff from this author. Even when Grayson and Sidney tried to keep telling each other it was only a sexual/friends with benefits relationship, you could tell how much each wanted more than that. I was so mad that Sidney never said anything about how if she helped save this magazine she'd be getting her own magazine to run. Although I feel like Grayson should have realized that. And in a way, he did, only he was just assuming she was just like his ex and would leave. But then when she showed in so many ways that she was different from his ex, he made me so mad for not giving her a chance! For not asking her to stay, for not telling her that he chose her!

As much as I loved Luke, and that he totally made the book over the top perfect for me, I also feel like we got so much more interaction with all three of the Malone brothers in this book. Not that we didn't have them before, but I just feel like this one had more of them. The three of them together was so much fun. I loved how they teased and tortured one another. Of course you have to adore their mother and how she just wants to get all her boys hooked up. But then I loved how his father really was a great influence in this one. I also like how Sidney's father was at the end too.

Such a great wrap-up to such a great series, but a series of standalones, that can be read in any order and as far apart as you want. Although if you get the time, and you can, I'd suggest listening/reading them all right in a row!
