Book Review: The Risk by Caitlin Crews

The Billionaires Club Book 2

In the second installment of The Billionaire’s Club quartet, arrogant billionaire Sebastian Dumont risks everything for one night with an exquisite dancer…whose dark fantasy leaves him wanting more.

Love is a risk I will never take, a prize too good for a man who betrayed his family. That’s why I prefer to keep things transactional. So when I see the exquisite tiny dancer in the exclusive Parisian billionaire’s club, turning her burlesque into an erotic art form, I’ll give whatever it takes to have her…

She is mine for one night, to do with as I please. But following my commands seems to bring her as much pleasure as it does me. And I can’t help wondering at her performance. She almost makes me believe this is a fantasy of her own making.

I’m not ready to let her go after just one night, but I never imagined my hunt would lead me to New York City, or to a restrained and disciplined ballerina. Stoking the fire that rages between us could be the biggest risk I’ve ever taken…one that may cost me everything, including my damaged heart.

My Review:

I don’t even know what to say about this book. The author’s style of writing is very different from what I’m used to, and I loved every moment of it. For those who aren’t into power exchange, this book won’t be their cup of tea, but I was sucked into this story like the proverbial ‘dirty shirt’. After meeting Ash in the previous book, I was really excited to see what their family dynamic looked like from Sebastian’s point of view. Into these already turbulent waters, our striving-to-be-Prima ballerina gets dropped. Every aspect of Darcy’s life is rigidly controlled. It has to be in order for her to stay in top dancing form. She has a fantasy to give that control to a man for one night, where he will look after everything. That one night sets into motion a whirlwind of changes for both Darcy and Sebastian that could bring about some much-needed healing and growth. But only if they survive the storm. I adored this book and I can’t wait to see what the next in the series looks like. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through NetGalley.
