ARC Review: Worth the Risk by Jessica Ruddick

My review: 4.5 rockā­’s

Ahh, Hailey and Liam’s story was super cute!!

Liam used to be part of the boy band, Misdirection. They had a big falling out when Liam decided he wanted to go out on his own as a solo artist. Now, 7 years later the 5 members agree to go on tour together. He was expecting his former friends to still be a little mad at him, but he wasnā€™t expecting to see Hailey again and all grown up at that.

Hailey recently broke up with her cheating fiance, Michael, and instead of moving in with her parents at 24, she agrees to go on tour with her brother, Jack. Hailey is no stranger around this group of guys since she went on tour with them from age 14-16. She was even a little excited about seeing her teenage crush, Liam, again after all these years.

I love that it alternated between their perspectives because it shows how they secretly feel about each other. Since Jack has deemed his sister off limits,they have no choice but to sneak around behind everyone’s back for a summer fling.

This is sorta a second chance, sorta a best friends sister, sorta a brothers best friend slow burn romance that was very well written. There is just enough steam to not overpower the story of these two going from casual to forever. It was a quick read and I wish it was a little longer because I love these two so much!

This is my second book by Jessica and it certainly will not be my last. I really love her writing style.

Also, I am so happy that Gabe and Leah from Back to You made an appearance in this one!

Book blurb: Release date ~ April 14, 2022

I started my music career as a member of the biggest boy band in the world. Fast forward a decade later, and Iā€™m doing just as well as a solo artist. I have no desire to take a step backward, but I get sucked into doing a reunion tour. Things are less than peachy because some of my former bandmates are still pissed I broke up the group.

Things look a little brighter when I reconnect with Hailey, a band mateā€™s younger sister. Sheā€™s on the rebound from a broken engagement and looking to have a little fun. Iā€™m the perfect guy for that because I donā€™t do serious.

Except the more time I spend with her, the more I question everything I thought I wanted. I just need to convince her Iā€™m worth the risk.
