Risk It by Jennifer Chance
4.0

ARC received from Random House/Loveswept via Netgalley


This is the fourth book in the Rule Breakers series, and could be read as a standalone. Though you really should read the first three.


We have briefly met Dani in the previous books, but we never learned much about her, but now it is all coming to the fore.


She's a grifter, always on for the con. The only person she truly loves in her life is her foster brother Jimmy. They have had a really shitty start to life, and just when she thinks things are starting to get better....


Rand Sterling Winston IV - phew, that is a mouthful (that's what she said lol),sexy "Richie Rich" doesn't chase women - why would he when they fall all over themselves to get to him. But his interest is piqued the first time she meets Dani, and even more so when she tells him no.


Rand and Dani circle each other, like lions circling their prey. We all know that secrets never did a relationship any good, but there are secrets on both sides. Neither of them wants to lose "the game" and at times it felt like they were never going to get anywhere.


I don't know what it was, I just couldn't seem to really warm up to either Rand or Dani, and thinking about it a day later, I still can't put my finger on what it was. While the sexual chemistry between them was smoking, sometimes I just did not feel the emotional connection.


This was not a predictable storyline. There were some parts I was sure I knew what was going on then BAM - we were taken in a whole different direction.


I like Ms Chances' writing and am now waiting to see what she brings us next.
