Review- Riskier Business by Tessa Bailey

Summary-

One more game. And this time, there are no rules…

After a life of pool hustling and living on the wrong side of the law, Ruby Elliott is living on the straight and narrow with sexy-as-all-hell NYPD detective, Troy Bennett. Now the only trouble Ruby has with the law is the naughty kind, pinned against the wall by Troy's strict and spectacularly hard body. Obeying his every command. Both of them losing themselves in a lust that borders on obsession...

But then her father returns with an offer she can’t refuse: one last hustle in exchange for information. The information she’d die to have. As the pieces and the players of the game reveal themselves, Troy feels the fine edges of his control slipping—control he can’t channel without hurting Ruby. The stakes are high, and the risk higher. Because losing this final game could cost more than Ruby’s heart…it might cost her life.

Review-

I am a huge fan of Tessa Bailey's. Whenever I'm in the mood for a steamy romance I turn to her books. So I was really excited to get started on Riskier Business. We'd met Troy and Ruby in a previous novella in the Line of Duty series but I had really liked them before so I was happy to get more of them in Riskier Business. This novella can be read as a stand-alone though.

Ruby has finally left behind her life of pool hustling. Now she lives with her sexy boyfriend Troy and she couldn't be happier in life. That is until her father comes back. I really like Ruby. She is strong and stubborn but she still has her vulnerabilities and insecurities. She was head over heels in love with Troy but her horrible childhood and unsolved issues did keep her from completely trusting him.

Then we have Troy. God this man makes me swoon. He was AMAZING! Troy wanted to do nothing more than keep Ruby the hell away from her past. He loves his girlfriend to the point of obsession and he will do anything for her. Troy was extremely understanding in this novella. He was willing to do anything to make Ruby and him work and it showed.

Tessa Bailey knows how to write steamy romance and Riskier Business had tons of it. Troy and Ruby share combustible chemistry. Their intimacy has another level to it but their relationship goes so much deeper than that. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every single conversation between them.

The most interesting character I found in Riskier Business was Bowen Driscol and I can't wait to read his book next. Riskier Business was a short, sexy and extremely satisfying novella and I would recommend it whoever enjoys such romances.
