This one was a bit crazy with all the everything going on, the we had Tanner all twisted up on how to ask Bree to marry him. Turns out that was the least of his worries. The case they helped on Dallas was a nail biter. I loved that Bree was able to show everyone just how good she was, even if she ruffled a few feathers at first. The other action at the end of the book drove me nuts, I just wanted this person to go away. In the end they got just what they deserved and so did Tanner and Bree, their HEA clean and free.

Wow! There was definitely a lot of suspense in this third book of a great romantic suspense series. It can be read as a standalone, thanks to the explanations of some past events but it would definitely be more helpful to have read the first two books. And they are all worth purchasing, as Janie Crouch is just a fantastic writer. I especially liked in this book about a computer genius that this author understood a lot of what could be done with computers herself. I highly recommend this book and am real looking forward to the next book in the series!

Terrific continuation of the Bree and Tanner series. I was hooked from the beginning in this fantastic combination of heart-pounding suspense and deeply felt emotions. I read it in one sitting and far too late into the early morning hours. In this book, the relationship between the socially awkward geek Bree and the charming deputy Tanner progresses quite well. Bree has learned a lot about relating to people and is getting better at showing her emotions - especially to Tanner. Tanner has fallen even deeper in love with Bree. He understands her quirks and finds her "big brain" sexy. He is very protective of her. He is also ready to take the next step and is adorably nervous about it.
But before Tanner can follow through, a call comes in from Detective Whittaker. Bree is desperately needed in Dallas to help find a killer. He transmits live feeds of his victims trapped in watery coffins, and they need Bree's computer skills to track him down. There is no way Tanner is letting Bree do it alone, so he's right there to back her up and take care of her. I loved how he was so tuned to her and the needs that she ignores when lost in her work.
The suspense of the story was a nail-biter. The feeling of the clock ticking as the team watched the coffin fill with water was intense. I could feel the Dallas team's frustration as they ran into dead end after dead end. Bree's arrival added to the intensity as we see her totally lose herself in the quest to save the woman's life. Just as it looks like they have it solved, an unexpected twist shows that it's more complicated than they anticipated. I was on the edge of my seat as they raced to thwart the diabolical plot.
There was an added layer of complexity as Bree's past continues to haunt her. Though her nemesis, Michael Jeter, is in jail, there is a strong feeling that he has plans in the works to alter that fact. That suspicion hovers in the background, and I spent the book waiting for that shoe to drop. When it did, it dropped with a vengeance that had me glued to the pages until it was all over. There had been no doubt in my mind from the earlier books about how evil Jeter was, and this book reinforced that. It also showed how deep Bree and Tanner's love for each other was. The ending was fantastic, with Tanner's "perfect moment" just right for them. I love that they can move forward now without the fear that Bree had felt for years. I can't wait for the conclusion of the series.
Though this book can be read as a stand-alone, the experience is much richer if you read the first two books before this one.

Wow! This series just keeps getting better. This is the third book and was even more suspenseful and romantic that the others.
When the Dallas police get live-feed videos of a woman in a coffin-type box that is slowly filling with water, they need Bree and her outstanding computer skills to track them. Hopefully saving the woman before she drowns. Bree doesn't hesitate to help but Tanner doesn't want her to go to Dallas because Micheal Jetter is in prison there, and he doesn't want her anywhere near him. Jetter was part of the Organization and had made Bree's childhood a living Hell. He pushed her to the limits, making her write code for hours. He even tortured her to get her to meet his demands. Now that she has escaped from him, she never wants to see him again. Knowing she has to testify against Jetter is bad enough. The memories it will bring will be horrible. Even though Tanner doesn't want her to go, Bree can't stand by while a woman drowns. Not when she might be able to help.
As soon as they get to Dallas, Bree gets to work. She gets so engrossed in what she is doing, she doesn't even notice anyone or anything around her. I love how Tanner knows her so well that he brings her food and forces her to take breaks. It's a good thing he did because there were actually 4 women they had to find!
Before the call came in, Tanner was planning on proposing to Bree but that got put aside when they had to go to Dallas. I felt so bad for Tanner when he couldn't follow through with his plan. He wanted everything to be perfect when he asked her to marry him and was understandably nervous about it.
I was given this book in consideration of my honest thoughts.

Bree and Tanner are back and the suspense was awesome! And yes, the romance was good too, however, this series has me completely hooked because of the suspense elements! It all came down to timing. Janie Crouch has the timing technique down pat. Even when I knew where the case was heading, I was still anxious over Bree and Tanner’s every move. Who knew an awkward computer geek and charming sheriff’s deputy would have me tied up in knots to see what could happened next?!
Constant Risk was a thrilling read from start to finish! This will be a four book series when all is said and done. I do recommend reading them in order to fully appreciate the character growth and dynamics between Bree and Tanner. The suspense is an added bonus;)
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Very thrilling!!! Bree and Tanner head to Texas to help solve a case. The killer is sending videos of his victims slowly drowning. During all this, Bree is prepping for the trial with Jeter.
The action in this story was intense! I read this in one sitting because there is simply no way you could find a stopping point! Bree still struggles with social interactions and I think that makes her feel more realistic. She can be a bit robotic at times, but her inability to read social cues at times keeps her 'real'. I also enjoyed seeing her get a bit jealous-again, it showed some character development for her to identify actions and behaviors around her.
If you enjoy thrillers with lots of action and danger, romance with an establish couple (but no on page sex), and a brilliant tech guru solving crimes, Constant Risk is a perfect binge read!

As much as I enjoyed the 1st two books in the Bree and Tanner Thriller series, I absolutely loved Constant Risk, book 3. The intensity of the storyline was especially high and definitely a page-turner, but I think it was the emotions between Bree and Tanner that really resonated. Bree still had her socially awkward moments, but the awareness of it has progressed and she is now able to show her increasing emotions toward Tanner. And Tanner is so so good with her, he totally understands her and loves all of her quirks. I loved the progression in their relationship so much.
As to the suspense portion, it was seriously intense and nail-biting. I was pretty much on edge throughout the book. Bree and Tanner are requested to travel to Texas to assist in finding and saving the lives of women who are being abducted and drowned and it was being shown on a hourly live feed. What these law enforcement officers and Bree had to watch sounded excruciating. The twists and turns had me spinning, it was all so awesome! I remember at one point I thought all was resolved and saw that I was only 40% in the book! Then to add to this, an enemy Bree had helped capture in the previous book, causes more havoc.
Constant Risk was another suspense driven book that definitely kept me at the edge of my seat until the very end. And the love that Bree and Tanner have for each other was really showcased here. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next. I definitely recommend this one and all the others too.

Book 3 is just perfect and Bree & Tanner's continuing story is fantastic!
There is suspense, angst, romance and heat. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the previous books so you understand the dynamics of Bree & Tanner's relationship.
In this story, there are several twists and turns that go with the suspense which adds to the romance between Bree & Tanner. Loved this book and can't wait for book 4 as to see what is to happen between Bree & Tanner. The feels, steam, suspense and intensity of this story kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely looking forward to book 4.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest and voluntary review. This is the 3rd of a 4 book series. They can be sort of read as a standalone, but there's a lot of details that you miss if you haven't read the first 2 books. In this installment Tanner is considering asking for Bree's hand in marriage, but he's a bit nervous to do so and they keep mixing each other's signals. The couple gets called to Dallas to help Deputy Whitaker who'd gone home to visit and a girl from his neighborhood was murdered. Dallas PD was at a dead end with a serial killer on the loose. Deputy Whitaker, who truly redeems himself to me in this book from book 2, knew that Bree would be the person to crack this case with her computer skills. Little did anyone know her past is going to come knocking at the door in the form of Michael Jeter from The Organization, and book 1. Will Bree help find the killer? Will Jeter finally end up in maximum security prison where he belongs? Guess you'll have to read the book and find out.

I adore Bree and Tanner, their story and the connection they have sizzling in between them. But even more than that, I love the tender feelings, the protectiveness, the caring, the desire to get to know each other, and how they always support each other. The fact that Bree is awkward in social situations comes even more clear and is rather heavily underlined at the beginning, but also explained and showed how it all got to be before the book is over.
The suspense is intense at times. There are hair-raising moments, there are death threats and the ticking timebomb that is counting down in their computer screens. That insanely vehement research into the case with the computers reminded me of the other serial novel the author was part of, Tough Justice: Countdown, and gave just another confirmation that a savage investigation into a murder can be done in cyberspace as well.
Was the storyline a bit predictable as they took the road trip - yes, giving even more severity into the reading experience as you are just waiting for the hammer to hit, so to speak...
The fierce and boisterous suspense and investigation balance the adorably ardent romance developing in between Tanner and Bree. Their story will continue with one more installation, and I am looking forward to it.

I received this book as part of an ARC review. A bit of romance mixed with very tense action. Tanner and Bree's relationship is progressing nicely. Tanner even gets his mother's engagement ring. A call comes in from Whitaker asking for Bree's expertise in solving a time intensive case. Tanner and Bree go to Dallas and work on the case which has an unexpected twist. Instead of a single suspect and victim, there is four. Bree manages to solve and find all victims before they die. To make things worse Jeter is in Dallas jail as well and escapes. Jeter tries to kill Tanner but Bree manages to get information out to save him while going to meet Jeter. I like how the ring plays in ending Jeter's threat forever. Well at least his personal threat. Tanner finally proposes to Bree and she accepts. I look forward to the next book.

REVIEW: CONSTANT RISK is the third instalment in Janie Crouch’s contemporary, adult BREE AND TANNER THRILLER romantic suspense series focusing on Deputy Taner Dempsey and computer hacker Bree Daniels. CONSTANT RISK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading book one CALCULATED RISK for back story and cohesion regarding the current premise.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Bree and Tanner) CONSTANT RISK follows our couple as they are called into an investigation where a possible serial killer was murdering his victims in plastic coffins. With Bree’s ability to hack even the toughest computer programs, our heroine finds herself on a deadline as the potential for four victims looms ever closer. Meanwhile, Bree’s preparations for the upcoming trial of the Organization’s head Michael Jeter hits a snag when Michael accepts that plea deal that ensures Michael goes away for life, if only, law enforcement are able to locate the missing prisoner.
Janie Crouch pulls the reader into a story of intrigue and suspense; vengeance and betrayal. The premise is engaging and entertaining; the characters are captivating and fascinating. CONSTANT RISK is another wonderful and mesmerizing addition to Crouch’s BREE AND TANNER THRILLER romantic suspense series.

This is the third book in the series. They need to be read in order. Tanner and Bree are asked to come and assist in a case in Dallas. Bree computer skills are needed to help crack this case. Live feed of women is trapped tanks filled with water is being transmitted. Tanner won’t let Bree go alone so he goes with. Things are more complicated than just Bree helping. The man, Jeter, who held used Bree as a child and hurt her is currently in prison in Dallas. Then things get even more interesting when the police transport van he is in crashes. For a time, they don’t know where he is. Then Tanner is informed that they have him and he is in the hospital. With all the he is capable of how positive can they be that it is really him in the hospital. This case goes much deeper than they know. Jeter will do anything to get Bree back. He believes they belong together. This book had me hooked from the beginning. Bree has fantastic and valuable computer skills. She can help so much. I felt for her so much. She had a horrible childhood. She is so in love with Tanner but worries that she isn’t enough for him. Tanner loves Bree more than anything but doesn’t want to rush her. After almost losing him in the last book she would do anything for him. Including giving herself to Jeter to save him. I love this series so much I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this series.

In this installment to the series, Bree and Tanner are faced with a new challenge. Bree will be called upon to use her computer hacking skills to hunt down a serial killer before he can kill again. With Tanner by her side, Bree travels to Texas to assist the Dallas PD in tracking down the killer before time runs out for his victim. Little does she know that she has made herself visible to the terrorist organization she has worked to hard to escape.
As danger approaches, Tanner and Bree continue to build a more intimate and loving relationship. They will have to survive not only the serial killer, but Bree's past in order to move forward in their lives. Will Tanner get a chance to let Bree know just how much she means to him?
This fast-paced story brings our couple to a new locale and introduces new characters to the mix. The plot will grab hold of the reader and won't let go until the very end. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story and nothing turns out as first expected - a true mystery to the reader. Interlaced with the mystery is the devoted partnership between Bree and Tanner. Their chemistry is intense even though they sometimes still struggle to communicate their wants and needs clearly.
Five stars for an engaging romance and challenging mystery.

I want more of Tanner and Bree and the danger they find themselves in in each book, but also so the story of these two doesn’t end. I’m so LOVING this duo, Tanner the deputy in a small town where Bree found herself in and Bree, a woman with little social cues but a genius with computers like no other.
This time Bree is asked to come to Dallas by one of the law enforcers there who knows Bree and how her mind works. He asks for her to come and assist to help catch a serial killer and before another woman dies. Tanner goes with her and the two race against the clock to find the killer, only to come up with more unknowns and more women in danger. Not only that but Bree’s past catches up to her and it may be the last time she sees Tanner if she doesn’t find a way out of the danger the two find themselves in.
Holy smokes...this author does it again with another page turner with Tanner and Bree. These two have sparks and I LOVED how Tanner thwarts any attempts by others by stating, w/o hesitation, that Bree is his “one”. Not only that but his patience, guidance, and love for Bree shines through, accepting her social awkwardness and being by her side no matter what...sigh...swoon...sigh. I LOVED the twists and turns and the ending blew me away....I WANT MORE !!!!

Constant Risk is the third installment in the Bree and Tanner series. It was action-packed from beginning to end.
Bree and Tanner are both recovering from their injuries after their last case went sideways. Now, they're needed in Dallas where girls are being killed, and where Bree's nemesis, Michael Jeter, is awaiting trial.
It's not Tanner the Dallas PD needs to help crack this case, it's Bree. She's ready to step up with her big brain and master hacking skills, but Tanner won't let her do it alone.
He's determined to ask Bree to marry him, so he takes her to Dallas where he reconnects with Whitaker to help Bree solve this crime.
The case slowly unravels but not fast enough for Bree or Tanner, especially once Tanner learns that Jeter has made an escape attempt. Convinced Jeter is tucked away unconscious in a hospital, Tanner is ready to fly home with Bree, and ask her to be his wife.
In true Janie Crouch style, that isn't exactly what happens. To avoid spoilers, I'll say that once again, when push comes to shove, Bree and Tanner's love and trust are all that's needed to see them through.
If you love a fast, wild ride through serial killers and computer hacker minds, with the perfect amount of romance to keep you turning the pages, you're going to love Constant Risk and the whole Bree and Tanner series!

If you love a fast, wild ride through serial killers and computer hacker minds, with the perfect amount of romance to keep you turning the pages, you're going to love Constant Risk and the whole Bree and Tanner series!

CONTANT RISK is book three in Janie Crouch's Risk Series featuring Bree and Tanner Thrillers and picks up where we left of in the Bree and Tanner saga. I wasn't sure the first book that introduced Bree's terror to us could be topped, but book three is equally unputdownable and kept me on my toes throughout.
Tanner is thinking of the future and is trying to figure out where Bree is with her state of healing from her ordeal when we first get back into their lives, but his attention soon turns elsewhere when they are called in to help with an odd case in Atlanta.
Bree doesn't hesitate to step in and help when Tanner tells her that her computer skills just might be the break they need to help take down an unsub who is kidnapping women and video taping them on a live feed as their would-be-coffin fills up with water. It's a race against the clock to save these women, and just when they think they're home free, a blast from the past shows up to turn it all upside down!
I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys intrigue from start to finish with a little back drama built in. This series has been great and with only one more book to come, I'm itching to see how Ms. Crouch will delight us all again. You can't go wrong with any book in this series!

I received an ARC for this book. Janie Crouch has done it again! This book contains constant action, thrills and kept me on the edge. I read the book in one sitting, not being able to stop. Tanner and Bree are having a wonderful life. Tanner is ready to propose to Bree but is trying to find the right time. Whitaker asks Tanner to bring Bree to assist in an investigation involving the live feed of a woman in a box which is filling with water a drop at a time. Tanner takes her to Texas and they meet up with Whitaker. Bree works her magic with the computer and after a long session, she is able to help them find the woman and save her from drowning. After the rescue, she discovers something worse. In addition Jeter has secured a plea deal and is being transferred to another prison. The book contains twists and turns. One wonders if Jeter will actually make it to the new prison. In addition, what is the new development that Bree discovers? Will her skills help them solve the mystery? I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next one. I would recommend the entire series to all who enjoy action, thrills and an excellent plot.

This was first published on my blog "Lecture toute une Aventure"
Reading more about Bree & Tanner is always a pleasure. i love to see how both characters are evolving along the series as well as their relationship becoming deeper and deeper. At this point they do understand each other not perfectly yet but so much better than before still some misunderstanding are possible and those made me smile as it was so cute.
This investigation isn't related to their past, even if it's never too far, as they are asked to help in a series of murders and kidnapping in Dallas where Bree genius mind is their last hope , Tanner just tag along to help her adjust to stranger and kind of act as a emotional translator . Not that it will stay that simple of course.
This is a real page turner , i loved the intrigue and how the author gave us more to expect before diverting us to another lead once more to keep us on our toes. There were humour with Noah and Tanner 's banters and other moment but also some sweet ones to balance with the heavy suspense part. Really a must read this could work as stand alone but i can't recommend you enough to read this whole series in order.

The signs of a great series is it gets better and better each book, its fresh, not stale. I think Constant Risk is the best one yet. I am guessing book 4 will knock me over. I digress. This can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading books 1 and 2 first. We see Bree and Tanner connect a little more. They do start off crossing wires, which had me hmmphing, but it quickly took off. Brees expertise is needed. The corker is the book starts with Jeter and all the way through your sitting hunched over, waiting for him to attach you as you are dealing with the crisis of another nature. And that crisis, is gut wrenching at times. There were pure Bree moments, "the victim is inconsequential" even though that was not what Bree meant. Tanner was there to translate. Your fears come true, Jeter attacks, but not you. This was true suspense, the crisis they were dealing with, the back plot with Jeter, and even Bree and Tanner crossing wires. I read this in one setting and thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Janie Crouch for the arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were unsolicited.

Constant Risk- Risk Series - Bree and Tanner book 3
This is an amazing addition to the Risk Series of books with Tanner and Bree working on a difficult case out of state together with Whitaker to save women that were in coffins that were slowing filling with water. They thought that Jeter was in jail so they didn't have to worry about him coming after Bree. As this story progresses everything they thought they knew was wrong and he was going to come after her and capture Tanner to get her to cooperate. It was amazing how the police department they were working with picked up on Bree's clues and saved Tanner before he was going to be killed by Jeter. How they saved her after she threw the power off where Jeter held her with a gun to her head. She distracted Jeter momentarily and Tanner killed him . It was a fantastic ending as he proposed to her right after they got out of the burning building. I cannot wait to read the exciting conclusion to this romantic suspenseful series with the next release.

There is such a sense of urgency throughout this book. It felt like I wouldn’t be able to read it fast enough to find out if they would be in time. It felt like the speed at which I read this book would determine their success or failure – that meant I absolutely couldn’t put it down. There are some serious parallels to the movie Untraceable that kept me in pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fuelled limbo while reading. I went into this book expecting that nothing would be quite what it appeared on the surface, but still I was fooled. Even right up until the end I was still on the lookout for something else. And in the meantime, it was almost like we were watching Tanner and Bree fall in love all over again as they showed us and everyone else watching just how important they are to one another. Together, this pair are just the cutest thing ever. I can’t wait to see where the next book takes us.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

This is the third book in this series and like its predecessors it is a thrill a minute suspense ride and yes while it can be read as a stand alone there is so much detail in the previous books that I feel you really need to read them first
The love between Bree and Tanner is growing all the time in fact Tanner is trying to find the perfect moment to propose to the woman that he knows will be his for the rest of his life. Meanwhile in this latest latest case Whitaker (Book 2)has asked for the help of Bree so Tanner takes her to Texas where someone has placed a woman in a box that is filling drop by drop with water Will Bree be able to solve where she is with enough time to save her At the same time things are hotting up with Micheal Jetter (Book 1) he has secured a plee deal will he come after Bree once again. While this is a pulse pounding romantic suspense the emphasise is on romance as once again we see the love that is so strong between Tanner and Bree

Each book in The Risk Series has been full of action and intrigue, but Constant Risk takes it up a notch. Tanner and Bree are back and even as they draw closer to each other, they face danger from two fronts. Women are missing and Bree's computer talent is their only hope to save them. Plus Bree's past is coming after them with a vengeance. On the romance front, Bree is still learning the ins and outs of it all and doesn't always say the right thing. Fortunately, Tanner is patient and totally devoted, which is just part of the reason he's so lovable. This is part of a series, and Janie Crouch does a terrific job of working backstory in organically so a new reader won't be lost, but I would still recommend starting at the beginning to get the whole love story between this pair, not to mention the danger they face for each other. All in all, Constant Risk is romantic suspense at its finest - danger, suspense, edge of your seat action, and of course, a chemistry-filled love story.

This book pulls you along at a pace that leaves you as tense as the action is, and it’s wonderful. It’s an adrenaline-fueled read that kept me up reading. Bree and Tanner return, and, while this is possible to read as a standalone, the story is richer if you’re familiar with the characters. Tanner is so caring and supportive to Bree, who is socially inept because of her background, and, as a couple, they make your heart sing. There is tension regarding the possible escape of Jeter, Bree’s nightmare, which adds to the serial killer focus of the story itself. Almost anything else would be a spoiler, and I’m not depriving you of this story by adding one of those. This is definitely my favorite of the series so far, and I can’t wait for more.

Bree’s computer skills are desperately needed in Dallas. A serial killer, who has already drowned two women, is sending the police live feeds of the next victim. Tanner is concerned that this may be too much for Bree after the trauma she has survived, but Bree needs to help save this woman. Meanwhile, Bree is concerned about the witness testimony she will give in regards to the man who held her captive for many years. She won’t feel truly safe until he is locked up forever. Will Bree be able to save the woman? What if the serial killer has partners or other victims…time is running out. When Bree faces danger that she thought was past, will she and Tanner make it out alive? Absolute non-stop suspense as Bree and Tanner face their greatest challenge. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author. (by paytonpuppy)

WOW! I can finally take a breath. What a breath- holding, action packed, romantic suspense roller coaster! This is book 3 in The Risk Series: A Bree and Tanner Thriller and we are back with these two unconventional love birds. I say unconventional because of her past, Bree doesn’t show emotion like most. The relationship between Bree and Tanner is perfect for them. These two are called to Dallas to help Dallas PD with a serial killer sending video clips via computer. At the same time, Michael Jeter is being transported by a prison bus and there’s an accident. Jeter was burned pretty badly. All of this is happening in Dallas, at the same time. Coincidence?
The action and suspense are BRILLIANT! The characters are AMAZING! I’ve loved every moment in their presence and I can’t wait for more.

This series keeps delivering in a big way! I could read about this couple forever! This latest book puts the couple in the center of a high stakes investigation to save the lives of four women. Constant Risk is an absolute nailbitter. From the very first chapter the tension escalates finishing with an ending that will have you on the edge of your seat. I could barely sit still to finish! Janie is the Queen of romantic suspense and she proves it with each story she gives us. I'm so in love with this series and I wish that it could continue beyond the four books. I don't think I could ever grow tired of Bree and Tanner! Janie is one of those authors that could keep us falling in love with her characters over and over. Don't miss this series, it's going to go on your keep shelf!
