WOW! I wasn’t aware that anyone’s story could top Tanner and Cybil’s story, but clearly, I was wrong on so many counts! Aurora Rose Reynolds stole my heart with Blake, Everly, and baby Sampson’s story! I’m still sitting here with a huge grin on my face and a heart full of happiness.
Let’s start with Blake. I loved the fact that he was the grumpy personality to Everly’s sunshine personality. This is a man who was currently going through the motions of life with the weight of the world on his shoulder. The motions of work, family time, and sleep was on an endless loop. Until Everly and baby Sampson came into the picture. I honestly think the moments between Blake and Sampson were my absolute favorite. This man was made to be a father and from the moment Blake set eyes on Sam the fatherly vibes set in. Gah! There’s nothing sexier than a man who choses to step into the father role from the start, no questions asked.
Then we have Everly. This woman gets the mother of the year award in the romance world! I loved the fact that she was a mother first, her son was her main priority. The way she cared for and doted on Sampson brought tears to my eyes. She was not only caring and nurturing, but she was also fiercely protective and independent when it came to raising her son. I loved every facet of her character. I don’t think any heroine to come in this series will top my love for Everly’s character.
Now let’s talk about the instant ‘Boom-worthy’ chemistry between Everly and Blake. I loved the slow approach with these two, especially given the fact that there is a baby boy’s heart on the line. I loved the fact that they took their relationship slow to the point where it all just came natural. Their friendship merged into a relationship to the point where I knew it was coming but it all felt completely natural like a real life relationship. I guess what I’m saying is I loved the slow relationship build-up.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I not only loved, but also appreciated Everly and Blake’s story. Aurora Rose Reynolds brought the slowburn BOOM and brought it hard. I was a fan from start to finish. So we have another five star read within the Adventures In Love series! As of right now, I’m not sure how ARR is going to top the first two books in the series. All I know is I have a feeling Maverick’s story is going to be pure fire!! I can’t wait to see what she has in store for this man and his happily ever after. He was acting too strange around the ending of Risky for there not to be an epic happily ever after!! EEEK! The more I imagine his story, the more I want Reckless! Is it August yet!?

BOOKWORM REVIEW: Risky by Aurora Rose Reynolds
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥 Everly has moved back home to be closer to family. After the father of her ten-month-old Sampson refuses to be involved with their son, she went back to her parents to get some support and to surround little Sam with the love he deserves. What she did not anticipate is falling for one of her bosses at her new job with Life Adventures, and she definitely did not expect to be falling for the grumpy one, much less anyone at all this soon. Blake will even admit that he has been cantankerous. But with a small business to manage and other things on his mind, who could really blame him? Now this woman barges into his work and his life and his mind. Could these two get past their own problems to find their happily ever after? This was a nice change of pace from Rushed (Book 1). Whereas that one was full of fun interactions and suspense, Book Two brings the angst and drama. I love how these two bring out the best in each other as they go through this journey of individual self-discovery. Aurora Rose Reynolds did a great job of balancing the struggles of single parenthood with finding love. Sampson playing a more prominent role was well done and did not take away from the romance. The spice is very much present, though this is a slow burn. Reynolds makes the wait worth our while with Blake and Everly's chemistry. This can be read as a standalone, but characters from Book 1 do make a significant appearance. I definitely recommend going back to get the full experience. The ensemble cast in this book universe is fantastic. I love that Aurora Rose Reynolds builds a strong, loving community around her main characters. The countdown for Book 3 has officially begun, and I cannot wait to read Maverick's story.

Single mom, Grumpy/sunshine romance
Risky by Aurora Rose Reynolds’s is the 2nd book in the adventures in love series that I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of.AmandaSingle mom, Grumpy/sunshine romance
Reviewed in Canada on May 24, 2022
It is a single mom, grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance and I absolutely loved it.
Our FMC single mom Everly moves back to her parents house after the father of her son is out of the picture. After getting a job at Live Life Adventures she meets our MMC Blake who is one of the owners.
I really liked Everly I thought she was a great female lead and had a lot of qualities I personally love in a FMC. She was sweet, sassy, strong and loving.
Blake, oooohhh boy did I love Blake. He is officially on my list of favourite book boyfriends. I loved everything about him, which is shocking cause in the first book I thought he was a real jerk. In Risky getting to be inside his head you get to understand a lot more of why he was the way he was. I love Aurora Rose Reynolds’s style of men she writes. The bossy alphas with a soft spot for their women and family’s, I am here for it.
I loved these two together I thought they complimented each other very well and they had great chemistry. I’m talking of the charts chemistry.
I loved this book from start to finish, I had a lot of trouble putting it down. I can’t wait to read Mavericks story and to catch up on all the characters I’ve grown to love. If you’re looking for a sweet romance read I would definitely give this one a read.
