Worth the Risk

This story has one of the popular themes for a lesbian romance in that you have one character who has a wounded psyche from her past, and the woman who will save her. In other words, the type of story that I always seem to like despite the fact the theme has been told many times.Jamie is your seemingly overbearing and commanding businesswoman who is the "Love um and Leave um" type. Her modus operanti is to pick beautiful and willing women up for a few hours of sex. She won't allow herself to fall in love because of the guilt she carries in believing she is responsible for the tragic incident that happened to her young niece. She is the caretaker for the niece and gets her anything money can buy, but can't give her love. Then there is baggage from actions that transpired when she was a teen.The other main character is Kate, a beautiful equestrian with dreams of competing in show events on a top-flight show horse she wishes to purchase with funding from Jaime's company. Kate has her own baggage in that she was groomed by her parents to be a social climber, and does this very well, fitting in with those that have wealth and prestige. Kate also has a caring and genuinely nice side.These two do not hit it off, but are attracted to each other. I liled that these two were not between the sheets together until their feelings started to grow. They were still in denial, but the attraction eventually leads to more, but things are not smooth.Both main characters are depicted very well and came across as authentic. The writing was good and the story flowed. A great book to spend the weekend reading.

Even if you know next to nothing about horses and horse shows (like me) this is a very well done lesfic romance featuring a hard-nosed banker who wants no part of a relationship and a horse farm owner who is following her parents' dream that she climb up into the ranks of high society. The connection between the two is strong and believable and the sub-plot involving the banker's disabled young niece is poignant and sensitive.After reading this book, I bought another book by this author. She's got the genre down. Worth your money and your time. No risk.

I really enjoyed this book. When I spend my hard earned money I like it to be money well spent and in this case I believe it was. I also bought this authors other book 'Harmony' and that was an excellent read as well.One of the main charters in Harmony is a viola player and at the end of the book the author, Karis Walsh mentions that she is also a viola player and in 'Worth the Risk'one of the main characters is a horse riding instructor and again at the end of this book the author says that she is also a horse riding instructor....I really hope Karis's next book is not about a serial killer ;-)

I started to read this book at 11:00 am on Friday and finished it 12:12 am Saturday. I only put the book down to use the rest room and have a smoke. Loved the story line and the characters were awesome! I can't wait to read other books by Karis Walsh. Well done!

I loved this book! I read it in two days! By far one of my favorites. It was so realistic. I could relate to so many parts, for instance Jamie. I wanted to hate her at times, Because I seen so much of myself and the way I act and think. She loved Kate, but she also wanted to see Kate happy even if that meant tearing herself out of the picture and making Kate hate her. It is a wonderfully well written story. I would reccommend it in a heartbeat.

This was a really good story with two beautiful,equally strong women, a wonderful love story, and of course horses!!! What more could I ask for!! Job well done!!!😄

Love the characters depicted in the story. I was hoping for an exciting lesbian relationship that doesn't involve depressing subjects. Glad I got what I was looking for.Try not to read the summary to spoil the fun of discovering the characters yourself. :)

love everything this author writes.
