Always Take a Risk for Family...
Justus Robinson lives in Vincent's shadow. Since his mother's death, Justus has felt like a lost child with a father that hates him. It wasn't until the wedding of Vincent and Carolyn that Justus sees the light at the end of the tunnel. He realizes that Carolyn's sister, Angela, is the one. The only issue is his age; Justus is seventeen and just completed high school while Angela is starting work at one of the finest law firms in town.

Angela felt she had to dance with Justus, they were the maid of honor and best man respectively. During the dance, she felt it. The intense feeling of desire with the most deeply sense of love she has ever experienced. Angela denied the feeling and quickly made a get-away when his date interrupted them. She vowed they would never dance like that again because her attraction to him was way too strong. Even though they were now related by marriage, she made a conscious effort to avoid family events that she knew he would be in attendance.

Ten years later, Angela was on a downward spiral. Ron, her lover of the last 3 years publicly broke up with her and days later her remaining family, Carolyn and Vincent, were killed a terrible car accident. Angela was left holding the hand of her niece, Maya, to whom she considered a stranger. Justus would step in right on time to assist in Maya's lost of her parents. Only this time, Angela and Justus want to have their cake and eat it to. Will they be able to work out custody of Maya and still remain friends?

Christopher takes readers on a poignant journey of strong family ties and undeniable love. Even though the storyline reaches a lull near the middle sparks fly at the end. The characters have issues that we have all seen in our own family members. You know the family that you want to cuss out and hug years later. RISK is an emotional read that readers will fervently discuss with their friends.

Great Read!!
I Loved this book!!! The characters were believable, the storyline was believable... I read this book in one day. I couldn't put it down. I love the honest emotions that were portrayed in Justus and Angela's relationship and also his relationship with his father. I have read both of her other novels and I enjoyed those also. Ann Christopher is a great writer!! She one of my top favorites. I cannot wait on her next book!!

Taking a Chance
Angela Dennis, suffering from a bout of loneliness during her sister's wedding, tried to stay as far away from her newly acquired, underaged brother-in-law, Justus Robinson, as possible. However, Justus wasn't having it and convinces her to dance with him. While in his arms, Angela soon discovers that underneath Justus' youthful exterior is a full-blooded man in every sense of the word.

Ten years later, their paths cross again as they try to cope with the untimely deaths of her sister and his brother. Now they must decide who will take care of their niece. Although dire circumstances have brought them back together, Justus takes advantage of the situation and vows not to make the same mistake twice. Since the wedding, Angela has secretly harbored her attraction to Justus. Now since they are constantly near each other, she's having a hard time keeping her feelings at bay.

Ann Christopher has written a wonderful novel. The primary and secondary characters are memorable, and the plot and storyline well thought out. The romance encased in the pages of this novel will resonate in the reader's mind long after the story ends. RISK, Christopher's second novel, is a testament that she is well on her way of becoming a very talented author.
