Running Risk Summary:

Rylee Thompson swore she left town for bigger and better things, but when she’s forced to move back, it’s clear she was trying to outrun her past. Now her only escape is throwing herself into DIY projects and trying to grow her online audience.

Clayton Daniels needs his construction business to be a success, but finding the right help is easier said than done. It isn’t until he runs into his childhood best friend that he knows Rylee would be perfect for the job.

There’s only one problem. She’s too wounded from their past to entertain the possibility of a future.

He’d do anything just to be around her again, and she’ll do anything to hold onto her anger. But even Rylee can’t resist the undeniable pull between them.

Can she learn to trust her best friend again, or will Clayton never get the chance to prove to Rylee he might just be the love she’s always hoped for?

My Review:

To begin with, I’d like to thank Netgalley for supplying and ARC of this book to me. I greatly appreciate it! Netgalley is a platform where you can request ebook and audiobook ARCs, and it is completely free to use! I highly recommend trying it out!

I’ll start by saying, I really enjoyed this book! It was sweet and charming while also bringing in heavier topics. One scene even made me cry, and I don’t usually cry at books!

We have dual pov’s, which I love, and we go back and forth between the present day and the past. We get to see how the two main characters became friends at a young age and watch as the friendship blossomed into an inseparable bond.

a sweet, Small town romance

Well, almost inseparable. When something severs this bond, they go years without seeing or speaking to each other. That is, until they end up back in the same small town they grew up in.

In conclusion:

We get forced proximity, childhood friends to enemies to lovers, and all the cozy small town romance vibes we could ask for. With some spice sprinkled in, of course!
