Publisher Description
My brother’s best friend, NHL god Easton Scotch, has always seen me as a kid. Now, I’m his new roommate and I’m determined to show him that Claire Merrick is all grown up.
Boston Hawks left wing and bad boy personified, Easton is untouchable, reckless, and sexier than any one man ought to be. He has a complicated past, makes questionable life choices, and doesn’t want anyone growing too close. Least of all me.
East makes himself clear on his first day out of rehab, when we become reluctant roommates. At best, I’m angling for friendship. But soon, East is lowering his guard and we’re bonding.
When we cross a line there’s no coming back from, he spirals, jeopardizing his recovery and my heart. If Easton is the risk taker, then why does it feel like I’m the one gambling it all?

Loved it
Gina Azzi is a relatively new author to me and I have no idea why that is the case. The Risk Taker was an entertaining book that I was fully invested in from the start.
This is Claire Merrick and Easton Scotch’s story and what a story it was. Claire has had feelings for Easton for a long time and now that Easton is fresh out of rehab, it appears that they are going to be roommates.
Claire hopes that this might be the chance for Easton to see that she is all grown up and not just his best friends little sister. Easton is determined to get back to the game he loves and be a part of the Boston Hawks hockey team.
The chemistry between Easton and Claire is impossible to ignore, however the baggage that Easton carries may destroy their chance at happiness. He is trying to remain sober and fight his demons but it is a struggle. Claire in the meantime is struggling to find her place in life and decide what she wants to do with her life, for her, no one believes in her, until Easton.
I loved the development of their relationship and the fact that they are there for one another. I loved the support they gave to one another and I was really cheering for his to get the happily ever after that they deserve.
