Review: Risking It All – Tessa Bailey

NYPD detective Seraphia Newsom will avenge her brother’s death at any cost. Even if it means insinuating herself into a rough, Brooklyn street gang and going so far undercover, she’s not sure she’ll be able to get out. Every minute she spends in their midst means the clock ticking down on her life, especially when she overhears something that could get her killed.

Bowen Driscol is the heir to a crime enterprise. He never asked for the job, but with his father behind bars, he has no choice but to step in and keep the operation running. But when the NYPD blackmails him with a piece of damning information in exchange for aiding an undercover cop, he finds himself on the other side of the law for the first time in his life.

Bowen knows the danger Sera is in, and keeping her safe trumps saving his own ass. The problem? She can’t know he’s on her side. And there’s the matter of the seriously inconvenient heat sparking between them that’s incinerating his resistance. But Sera only sees Bowen’s past, and men like him are the reason her brother is dead. If they’re to get out alive, he’ll have to risk exposing the man beneath, and hope to hell he doesn’t blow the whole operation in the process.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

4.5 Cocktails

Alpha maleness at its best, Tessa knows how to write her alphas. Sometimes it is hit or miss with her heroines but not this time.

Sera is a sweet Catholic virgin nurse who gave up her scrubs for a badge. She is determined to bring the man down who was responsible for her brother’s death. And in order for her to do that she must go deep undercover as a waitress in a bar the main suspect owns.

Bowen is a man who thinks his soul is not worth saving. But Sera is. Bowen being deep in the mob world doesn’t think he deserves anything good in his life, but the one thing he will make sure of is that Sera is safe and he does this by helping the police keep an eye on Sera. Bowen is so complex, he doesn’t do virgins, he is a dirty talking man whore who takes what he wants when he wants it. But his saving grace is Sera, he wants to keep her pure and must resist the temptation that can actually save him.

Tessa knows her Alphas and knows how to write each one different. Never the same but each bossy, sexy and down right dirty.  Keep up the great work Tessa. Having to many alphas is never a bad thing.
