Running Risk

By: Dawn Anderson

Narrated by: Megan C Tyler

Rylee Thompson swore she left town for bigger and better things, but when she’s forced to move back, it’s clear she was trying to outrun her past. Now her only escape is throwing herself into DIY projects and trying to grow her online audience. Clayton Daniels needs his construction business to be a success, but finding the right help is easier said than done. It isn’t until he runs into his childhood best friend that he knows Rylee would be perfect for the job.

There’s only one problem. She’s too wounded from their past to entertain the possibility of a future. He’d do anything just to be around her again, and she’ll do anything to hold onto her anger. But even Rylee can’t resist the undeniable pull between them. Can she learn to trust her best friend again, or will Clayton never get the chance to prove to Rylee he might just be the love she’s always hoped for?

Childhood friends, broken plans, and a love that finds its way back.”

I received this audiobook as a gift from the author and I'm grateful for the opportunity to
listen and share my honest thoughts.

This story moves between the past and the present, slowly revealing the history between the two main characters.

They grew up next door to each other and became inseparable best friends, always dreaming about the future and what their lives might look like. But life doesn’t always follow the plans we make when we’re young, and circumstances eventually pull them in different directions.

Years later, they find themselves facing old memories, unresolved feelings, and the question of whether some connections are strong enough to survive time and distance.

lack/miscommunication

this was a cute love story. bestfriends that had a falling out. then they finally find each other again. trigger warning The MMC's father is verbally abusive especially when drinking. the FMC and MMC have a falling out because of lack of communication. I understand stand this as it is from their teenage years. it got frustrating in the last forth of the book when they were adults and the FMC still acted like she was 15. the narrator had few loud moments like she was trying to edit in a word.

Cute Story

I enjoyed this love story. I do feel that the conflict dragged out a bit too long. I would have enjoyed to get it resolved and had a little more story after the resolution. But all in all I enjoyed it. Thank you Dawn Anderson for the free audiobook.

Comedy

Running Risk by Dawn Anderson is an amazing romantic comedy. Megan C. Tyler did an incredible job with the narration. The story is entertaining, comedic, humorous, enjoyable, cute, and more.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend

Great Narration

The kindest thing I can say is this book wasn't for me. The conflict was overblown and went on through the entire book. Also the constant back and forth in each chapter, then now, then now then now the entire book. And the epilog was a sex scene 🤦‍♀️
