Publisher's summary

My brother's best friend, NHL god Easton Scotch, has always seen me as a kid. Now, I'm his new roommate, and I'm determined to show him that Claire Merrick is all grown up.

Boston Hawks left wing and bad boy personified, Easton is untouchable, reckless, and sexier than any one man ought to be. He has a complicated past, makes questionable life choices, and doesn't want anyone growing too close. Least of all me.

East makes himself clear on his first day out of rehab, when we become reluctant roommates. At best, I'm angling for friendship. But soon, East is lowering his guard and we're bonding.

When we cross a line there's no coming back from, he spirals, jeopardizing his recovery and my heart. If Easton is the risk taker, then why does it feel like I'm the one gambling it all?

I could listen all day!

I knew Easton's story was going to be emotional but I didn't expect to love both him and Claire like I did!

The Risk Taker starts off with Easton fresh out of rehab trying to get back into his life as a hockey player. Claire has always had love for Easton and when she needs to move out of her parents house she moves in with him. Struggling with his sobriety and trying to manage his emotions about Claire has you feeling for Easton. I cannot imagine what this would be like but I thought his part of the story was well written. Claire is a bit lost at the start but I love that she continues to fight for what she wants out of life when being pushed to do the "safe" thing.

I didn't want to put this book down - great story! I love a Boston accent and the narration on this book was so damn good. I could listen all day!

Very Repetitive

I can’t stand books where the couple breaks up multiple times especially in a very short time.
