Review: Everyone knows Julia Knox keeps both feet planted firmly on the ground. Friends describe her as safe, settled, and careful. She owns her own business and her own home with a hefty retirement and savings plan. In fact, Julia is just too cautious to commit herself to someone like dangerous, adrenaline hooked Adam Brody. So despite their one wild night of passion when she replaced caution with impetuous sensuality, Julia has lived by the rules. But now, after ten years, Julia is tired of playing it safe. She certainly means her request that Adam teach her skydiving and rock climbing.Together they are wild and brazen. But even after ten years Adam feels incredibly guilty for the one night they spent together. That night Julia had intended to seduce his brother, and got the second brother instead. Adam has been running from the memory of their passion ever since. He cannot help believing that it is better for him to stay away from Julia than to pursue the possibilities with what would likely be disastrous results. Besides, for Adam to have a relationship with Julia, there is someone who deserves the truth of his actions ten years ago. And he does not know how to tell his brother that he cheated with his girlfriend. Author Carrie Alexander once again demonstrates her consummate skill for warm, engaging characters combined with sizzling sexual tension in RISKY MOVES. A spin-off from SMOOTH MOVES, RISKY MOVES unobtrusively returns favorite characters while furthering the plot of past secrets and current revelations. Alexander especially traverses the delicate ground of infidelity with skill and grace. RISKY MOVES is a fast paced read, vividly realized and marvelously seductive. Indeed, RISKY MOVES goes to the keeper shelf! Very highly recommended.

Summary: Great spin-off of SMOOTH MOVES!
Review: Thoroughly grounded twenty-eight year-old Julia Knox has her world turned upside down when dangerous daredevil Adam Brody comes home for his brother Zach's wedding. Julia and Adam share a ten year old secret, and Julia is determined to pin Adam down and clear the air. Julia dares him to teach her how to rock climb. What better way to get up close and personal and show Adam she's willing to take a risk? The last thing Adam Brody expects is to have Julia Knox confront him at his brother's wedding reception and demand he teach her how to defy death. After months in a hospital following a horrendous car crash, Adam is still not one hundred percent. Never able to turn down a dare, however, he agrees to Julia's outrageous proposal, if for no other reason than to prove to both of them that their long ago attraction to each other was a big mistake. Julia has been waiting ten long years to get Adam to face up to what happened between them all that time ago. Granted, circumstances were not perfect, but Julia thinks Adam has taken the guilt trip and honorable brother thing a bit too far. The conflict and sensual attraction between these two escalates into much more, making for a fast-paced, enticing read. Secondary characters are typical of small town people, lending humor and compassion to this emotional tale. Carrie Alexander's writing prowess shines again in this spin-off from SMOOTH MOVES, Adam's brother Zach's story. It was a hoot to revisit old friends and especially to see one character in particular get her comeuppance. Ms. Alexander's talent knows no bounds when it comes to mixing humor with emotion, and her ability to make readers sniffle and laugh out loud, in turns. I highly recommend RISKY MOVES as a tender love story with undercurrents of danger, guaranteed to make readers root for Julia and fall in love with Adam.
