Jake uses the unexpected encounter with Brenna to warn her off one of his teammates, a “cute, goofy” kid named Josh McCarthy. Unfortunately, she can’t help but notice that for toxic sludge, Jake is damn hot. Thus she is particularly sensitive to the rivalry, and tries to treat Jake like he’s toxic sludge. It doesn’t help that the two have traded barbs in their previous encounters.īrenna is not just any fan of Briar hockey – her father coaches the team. Jake is the captain and star player for Harvard’s hockey team Harvard is a rival for Briar University, and thus Jake is The Enemy. This adds insult to injury the sting of being stood up is compounded by having it witnessed by someone Brenna emphatically does not like. The heroine of The Risk first appears in The Chase as Summer’s friend Brenna, and the hero, Jake, is featured in a few scenes of that book as an antagonist to Brenna (so, obviously, a future romantic interest).īrenna Jensen finds herself stood up for a date at the local diner just as she’s about to leave, Jake Connelly shows up and somehow figures out what’s happened. I recently read the first book in your Briar U series, The Chase, and gave it a B+, mostly on the strength of an appealing heroine.
That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.Jennie B- Reviews / Book Reviews Briar U Series / College Hockey / New Adult 4 Comments But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. Which means this bad girl is in big trouble.
But fate is cruel-I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn’t making it easy for me. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team.Īnd that’s who Jake Connelly is. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy.
They’re only partly right-I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. THE RISK takes you back to the world of hot hockey players, feisty heroines, bro banter, and steamy scenes.Įveryone says I’m a bad girl.
