Review: Risky Surrender by Robin Bielman

Robin Bielman follows up her sexy debut novella, Worth the Risk, with this scorching tale.

Archeologist Lucy Davenport made a promise to her dying father to find the 16^th century gold Tlaloc statue. Lucy’s dad believed the legend that the Tlaloc goddess would give life and sustenance to them, finally changing their lives. Can Lucy find the statue, and could the legend be true? There’s only one person standing between her and the statue: Keats McCall.

Do-gooder playboy Keats McCall is tired of women falling for his bottomless bank account. It isn’t until a sexy-as-hell mystery woman bumps in to him that he is more than intrigued…and suspicious. McCall realizes there is something different about his mystery woman, but could that something be unethical and possibly illegal? What is the story behind this beautiful siren? There is only one way to find out what Lucy is up to: watch her—day and night. But can McCall resist the temptation Lucy is proving to be?

Bielman knows the art of slowly building the sexual tension between a couple—to the point of near combustion. What starts out as Lucy and McCall taking each other’s measure turns into something neither of them were looking for. The true test of their mettle comes when both must decide between their jobs and their rapidly growing feelings. Is felicity is worth the risk?

I would not consider myself the outdoors type. However, after reading Worth the Risk and Risky Surrender, I may have to reconsider; Bielman brings a whole new level of hotness to outdoor adventures. Yet, that is not all Risky Surrender brings to the table. Both Lucy and McCall have personal struggles to overcome before they can find a happiness they never knew existed.

Risky Surrender is a spicy, quick read full of dynamic characters with inner and external struggles.

Review: Worth the Risk by Robin Bielman

Debut author Robin Bielman has an entertaining read on her hands.

After stepping away from her father’s law firm, Samantha Bennett must prove to herself, and her controlling father, that she can make it on her own, doing what she loves. When a remarkable opportunity to work with one of the largest historic preservation companies comes open, Sam jumps at the bit. This is just the job to prove she has what it takes to make it.

Dean Malloy stepped away from his father’s company, World Heritage, over a year ago to form his own preservation company. Having not spoken to his father in over a year, Dean sees the job opening with his father’s company as a way to further his own company’s renown as well as mend fences with his father.

When Samantha sees Dean again for the first time in five years, her mind is flooded with memories of their summer together in Yosemite. Her feelings are so natural: a mixture of fear and dread mixed with the desire to relive past events. But Dean left Sam with a broken heart and not so much as a look back when he left those years ago. Now he is after the same job…the job she needs. Can Sam forget the past long enough to land this job?

However, Sam is not the only one still nursing a broken heart. Dean’s heart was broken by her betrayal just as much as he broke hers. Dean must keep his focus to secure this job, but can he ignore the temptation Sam is providing as his mind is swimming with sweet memories? What harm can one weekend together do, and what better way to get Sam out of his system for good than one last fling.  Is it worth the risk?

Bielman provides readers with a novella that is a quick, sexy, and enjoyable read. If you are looking for a book that you can devour in an afternoon or while on the beach, may I recommend Worth the Risk?
