Risk It
Come to the Triple B Ranch and find your bliss! Gwen Baker has just been invited to participate in a new reality show, the Get Tied Down Challenge.
Couture dress-maker Gwen Baker says yes to spending a weekend at exclusive, singles-only The Triple B Ranch courtesy of the reality show, the Real DC. Recently dumped by a guy who insisted she wasn’t exciting or spontaneous, she’s eager for the chance to practice her man-hunting skills and take advantage of the live stream event to show off her custom cocktail dresses—even if the setting is a little bit rustic. Not one to be discouraged by setbacks like trying to look sexy in silk while roasting marshmallows over a campfire, Gwen arrives at the ranch ready to play along and pick one of the contestants. But the three guys from the city do nothing for her while the cook makes her ache for some serious sizzle.
As the head cook at the singles-only dude ranch, Connor Tate thinks he’s immune to the charms and temptations of the female guests. Long legs, curvy or cute…he can ignore them all. He doesn’t want any drama. He’s only at the ranch to earn cash for grad school. So when the cast and crew of the Get Tied Down Challenge arrive at the camp, he’s sure he’ll be able to keep to himself and avoid the raven haired-hottie roaming the trails. But an impromptu kiss with Gwen turns into a contest of domination that soon comes a test of wills—a test he’s glad to fail. He gives in to the sweet temptation she offers but he’s a long way from being satisfied.

Oh my! The advertisement says: "Come to the Triple B Ranch and find your bliss! Gwen Baker has just been invited to participate in a new reality show, the Get Tied Down Challenge." What happens next is such a fun and enjoyable read!
Gwen is a custom dress designer who was recently dumped for not being exciting enough. She accepts the invite to participate in a dating reality show at a singles-only cowboy ranch ready to show the world she can be spontaneous and adventure-some. She's planned her wardrobe determined to look good throughout the weekend show, even though silk may not hold up well on a dude ranch. When the show needs some impromptu shots of Gwen, Conner-the ranch cook dressed as a sizzling hot cowboy, is asked to be a sport, step in, and help out. Both are surprised by their reactions to one another and after, spend the time trying to avoid temptation. Gwen has other contestants to go on dates with and Conner is trying to make a name for himself with his culinary creations. There is no sense in getting tied up together. But fate has other plans for them!
This is a short, quick story that grabs you from the start! I love the beginning and it's off to the races from there! I read it straight through and was excited to see how their story would unfold. Risk It is the first book I have read by Isabelle Drake and now I am looking to read more!

Gwen is a dress designer. She wanted to get her dresses noticed and meet some single men. She was invited to participate in a new reality show called Get tied down challenge. She will meet 3 single guys and at the end of the weekend has to pick the one she likes best. It sounds easy to her. Sookie the producer of the show wanted to do some photos to get public interested in the show. He could not find any of the contestants so he used the cook Conner for the photos. In one of the shots he had them kiss and sparks flew for both of them. He knew that she was the one that was there to pick an eligible bachelor, which he was not one of them. Gwen can not get this man out of her head or heart. The bachelors that she met did not stand a chance because she wanted Conner.

Gifted for a honest review.
Good short story.
Gwen was newly single. Trying to get her fashion designs noticed. She entered a competition to spend a whole weekend with three men, hoping to meet the man of her dreams and wear her fabulous dresses so people would want to buy them. We all know great plans generally don't work out so great.
The weekend is to be spent on a ranch being wine and dine by each man.
The producer, Sookie had high expectations. From the minute Gwen arrived, she told her she had to kiss a man, get the public interested in the show. None of the male contestants were around so she made her kiss the cook, Connor. It was a very long and lingering kiss.
No doubt after that kiss the contestants whomever they were would stand a chance.
This was a very short story, just enough to tickle your taste buds. If you like something quick to read, this is the book for you.
