⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 – 4.5 stars
He broke her heart back then, will he be worth the risk ten years later?
Alicia didn’t want to see Jeff ever again after he took her to the senior prom, ditched her there, and took up with some other girl he thought he liked. Alicia was crushed. They were best friends. They confided in each other about everything. How could he do that to her?
It’s ten years later and Alicia and Jeff run into each other. He’s never forgiven himself for doing her wrong so many years ago. Alicia’s reluctant to give him a chance to make it up to her. She’s already got her hands full trying to care for her mom who’s a hoarder with serious mental health issues. Alicia’s made tremendous sacrifices and difficult decisions to deal with that situation. Does she want to possibly bring more heartache into her already complicated life?
I love a good knight-in-shining-armor-like story. 😃 Jeff was a jerk to Alicia back when they were in High School when he left her at their prom, and he knows it. She’s always been the girl he’s cared deeply for. His superficial, brief relationships since then are a testament to that. But now he’s been given a chance to make things right between them. How he goes about doing that is sweet and endearing and made for a tender love story that warmed my heart.
The audio narrator, Ann Marie Gideon, did an excellent job portraying Alicia and the other characters. She helped me to feel connected to the story.
Thank you, Tantor Audio, for a complimentary download of Worth the Risk. All opinions expressed about it are my own.

I totally understand. I had over 750 emails from blogs I follow as of yesterday. I think I got it down to around 400 when I went to bed last night. Glad you are taking it easy though.

I am actually pretty under the weather health wise too, Linda. 🤦🏽♀️ I think this will be a regular thing for me until doctors can find out why I feel so terrible most days of my life. 🤷🏽♀️
But thanks anyway. 😉
