Risking It All

*4.5 Stars*
This one was a great one! I definitely fell in love with Griff. A sexy, funny, charming, romantic, life-saving Coast Guard Lieutenant with a hero complex? Lordy lordy, he could save me anyday!
Both Griff and Chloe have been through events in their life that would change anyone and shape how the rest of their lives play out. No-one should have the displeasure of dealing with those things. Yet those who do, hopefully come out stronger. It was a great common factor that Griff and Chloe had these massive events in their past, because it helped them understand each other, in turn making them more easily able to assess each others needs or emotions without even having to think about it.
Griff is such a charming and romantic character. I loved how he was with Chloe and I loved the relationship he has with his best mates. Although I hope we actually get to meet Logan in the future books.
I also really liked Chloe's character and even though her hang-ups seemed more obvious than Griff's, she is still such a strong character, and she doesn't take shit from anyone.
They both have things to learn and they start to learn them together, before making a few realisations on their own.
I also really like the concept of Naked Men and how it gives life to topics that people are probably alot of the time too scared to discuss or just wondering if they're the only ones thinking that particular way about a topic. Especially one like Chloe's situation. I'm not going to give anything away, but its a great issue to point out in the book and something that I haven't seen in a lot of other books. At least not books where the characters are in their late 20's.
As for Chloe and her letter writing business? I think its a great way to stay in touch with a more intimate way of communication and words. No-one really gets a real proper letter these days because everything is so reliant on technology and thats the world we live. But remember the excitement of actually writing a letter and receiving one in return? Even though Chloe is writing letters to help customers, we do see the letter writing come out in other parts of the novel, and I love the concept as a whole.
And that ending? My god! Give me book two now please!
Definitely recommend this one and really look forward to reading the next in the series.
