| Briar U Book 2 |
A sexy standalone novel from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy. THE RISK takes you back to the world of hot hockey players, feisty heroines, bro banter, and steamy scenes...
Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right—I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team.
And that’s who Jake Connelly is. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. 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.
I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend.
For every fake date…he wants a real one.
Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him.
That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
I love this series! Briar U and the prequel series Off-Campus. Every single one of the books are so good, and I have to say, The Risk, may have become one of my favorites. The Chase, the book before this one was fantastic as well and I hope Elle Kennedy keeps it up. Brenna and Jake's story was so heartwarming and sweet and fun. We saw a sneak peek of them in The Chase and right then I knew that something was going to happen between them. Their chemistry and banter are both great and hilarious. In this story, Brenna finds herself needing Jake to go on a fake date with her and in return he asks for a real one in return. They may have been fighting the spark between them seeing their hockey teams are rivals, but Jake decides to say the hell with it. He feels something for Brenna and he wants to see it through. Their real date, the cutest thing ever by the way, opens up the real possibility that they could be something more. They are perfect for one another, challenging and respecting at every turn. It's hard not to root for them. All around great book. With the return of favorite characters, the hilarious and unexpected side stories, and the romance that builds up between Brenna and Jake, I could not put it down. I don't know who's story is next, but I cannot wait to find out. If you liked the previous books, this one does not disappoint!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
