Worth the Risk by K. Bromberg

From New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg comes a new, sexy standalone about taking chances and finding love when it’s least expected. Or wanted.

This whole contest was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words.

It’s a long story, but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you’ve seen advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I’m successful, if I’m able to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job.

But the one thing I never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number ten, Grayson Malone. Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell?

Unfortunately he knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him alone to raise the cutest little boy I’ve ever seen.

But I don’t want a relationship. And I definitely don’t fall for single dads with baggage. Even ones with chiseled abs and killer smiles.

But he got to me. They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. But I got to him too. I see the stolen glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there’s an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life.

And now that the contest is about to end, we’re left to decide whether the last six months were just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, Yes Grayson was an asshole (like a lot of other book boyfriends are) in the beginning but after what he went through, it makes sense that he had severe trust/anger issues. He was not only angry for himself but he was hurt and angry for his son's loss. The dad was quite something, but it made Sidney toughen up and he came around in the end. Some good laughs and plenty of tears in this book. Worth the read. I loved it.

    I'm sorry, but I have to say it: Sidney has daddy issues. Both her father and Grayson are huge assholes, and make everything out to be Sidney's fault. Because of her daddy issues, Sidney has some pretty low self-esteem, that allows Grayson to steamroll her and cause her to play martyr.

    This fifty plus chapter story is a prime example of tell not show, where we are given an amass of unnecessary sex/dramatic fight scenes instead of an actual story. Sidney is presented as an aimless fuck-up with a passion for fashion. Yet she's always been depicted as a thoughtful, hard worker who is actually very competent at her job. She's in love with fashion but the only mention of fashion are her red bottom heels.

    Aside from Grayson being a relatively decent dad when he's not lying to Luke and his physical appearance, I cannot explain why Sidney is attracted to him besides her daddy issues. Everyone around him insists he's this great guy but he literally takes his unjustified anger out on Sidney. He screams at her, antagonizes her, manipulates her, and judges her for no reason at all. There's really no logical explanation as to why he hates Sidney in the beginning either. 'Oh, she was friendly with my shitty baby mama and an inconsiderate customer 10 years ago? Well, she must be a pretentious, mal-intentioned bitch! Even though she's repeatedly proven me wrong and has been sympathetic about my unnatural behaviors!' The plot literally goes through multiple cycles of him being asshole, overreacting, making Sidney feel bad/take responsibility, ice her out, make her apologize whilst not giving a proper apology himself, make himself out to be a victim because of his social class, insists they'd never work out 'because she's like Claire,' and repeat. Like there were over fifty chapters where you could have shown their relationship foster beyond physical intimacy and emotional abuse.
