Publisher Description
She’s never been one to stay in the same place for long…
Darby Watkins hasn’t been back to Willow Creek in years, and with good reason. But when an accident causes damage at the local equestrian center, what’s meant to be a quick visit turns into an indefinite stay while she works to pay back the owner. And as if that weren’t bad enough, she is also forced to work with Caleb Forester, the childhood best friend she hasn’t seen or spoken to since she abruptly left him and the small town behind.
Darby is determined to get out of Willow Creek and back on the road as soon as possible, but as she and Caleb rebuild their old friendship, feelings start to grow beyond the familiar and into something new and real and infinitely more terrifying that she’s sure will only lead to heartbreak.
Now Darby must choose between moving on and taking a chance on the one person who could finally be worth staying put for.
Customer Reviews
A journey from best friends to more
Risking It All, the third book in the Willow Creek series by Shannon Stults, hits all the emotional hot spots…from young unrequited love, to the frustrations of waiting for “your person” to realize she’s that person, the story takes you on the twists and turns of a love that takes years to become realized.
Caleb and Darby’s friendship began as middle schoolers, but through fear of heartbreak, Darby uses her wanderlust as an excuse to keep Caleb at arms length and her “best friend” in order to not face what they could become. The heartwarming moments of truths (Caleb) are juxtaposed by the heartbreaking moments of fear (Darby)…but through cleverly used flashbacks, the reader is treated to a unique method of setting the stage for the here and now.
There is so much to unpack in this story that it was nice to just settle in and enjoy the ride that this couple took me on.
This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
Risking it all
A sweet love story. A little slow for the first half but satisfying to the end.
