An undercover English DEA agent will do anything to protect the Amish girl he loves.
Calvin Fisher left the Amish community at fourteen and never looked back. Only his brother's illness can bring him back to Hart County. Now, as Calvin works to make amends, he meets Alice, a local nursery school teacher, and falls hard for her. But he has a secret that could threaten the happiness he's finally found.
Alice shouldn't like-or want-Calvin. He's English, has a questionable past, and an even more questionable job. Still, she can't help being intrigued. Though Calvin assures Alice that he's worthy of her, she's torn between surrendering to her growing feelings and steering clear of him.
When a sudden surge of criminal activity alarms the community and even targets Alice, Calvin fears that his double life has put everyone he loves at risk. As for Alice, she can't help but wonder if the brave and honorable man she's lost her heart to is far more dangerous than she could ever imagine.
My Thoughts:
I was given a complimentary Advanced Reader's Copy (uncorrected proof) of the book. And while I tried not to let all of the errors trip me up, I'm afraid they did. I've read the other books in the series and if I am completely honest, His Risk has been my least favorite. This book tells the story of Mark's brother Calvin. Readers met Mark in His Guilt which is my absolute favorite out of the series thus far. Gray does a really masterful job of not retelling the story in His Guilt, one in which Calvin has somewhat of a prominent role. You will get much of his backstory by reading His Guilt first. I felt there were gaps that made much of the storyline feel rushed and forced. With all of this said, I am invested in this series and will anxiously await the next installment coming in July of this year.
*I received a complimentary early copy of the book. All opinions are my own.
Happy Reading,
Jennifer
