One-night stands should only last one night. It’s my dumb luck my ONS— Mr. Muscles—aka William Gilmore, a stud on the football team, doesn’t want to hit it and quit it. He wants to know my name and get to know me. Next thing I know he’s repairing my dishwasher, but I don’t have time for this bullsh*t!
Will is a determined guy, though. The faster I run. The faster he chases behind me. I don’t think I can get away. It’s just too bad our lives are on different paths.
William:
When a sexy red head saunters up to me at the library offering sex, I can’t say no. I mean, who could resist someone who looks like Analise Pruitt. She’s everything I want in a woman and her tiny package rocks my world. I don’t want to let her go, but I must. My goal is to make into the National Football League. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. Besides, Analise has as many responsibilities as me, and family means everything to us both.
I just wish I could figure out how to let her go because I’m not sure if I can.
Author’s Note:
This is a 60K+ novel which includes foul language, explicit sex, and the sport of American football. Although this novel is the second book in the Risk Takers series, Taking a Risk can be read as a standalone novel.
Karen Monroe sails all over the world in the United States Navy. In her travels, she's had the pleasure of encountering some very sexy men of different cultures and appetites. Her stories are born from fifty percent experience (she calls it research) and fifty percent vivid erotic fantasy.
Karen's love for romance novels started in the sixth grade, when a far-sighted librarian overlooked a Harlequin Temptation she had mistakenly slipped into her check out stack. After that fateful day, her writing lot in life was sealed. A stint at erotic dancing helped mold her perception of its contribution into today's lifestyle. The experience and understanding of that growing sub-culture provides Karen with the basis of some of her best stories.
In addition to writing and sailing the seven seas, Karen enjoys exotic cuisines, windowshopping (she's in the Navy, give her a break!) sightseeing, learning new languages, and, most important, meeting guys. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the University of California at Los Angeles and is currently working on obtaining a Masters in English. When not out boating, Karen calls San Diego home, where she keeps a stash of one dollar bills for Ladies Night Out.
I wanted more Cassi and Griff, but I liked reading about his roommate. William is not your typical football player, and the h isn’t a doormat. Also, I like sports in my sports romance and we get a fair bit of that.
