ARC Review of Calculated Risk by Janie Crouch

Calculated Risk by Janie Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Calculated Risk by Janie Crouch is book 1 in a new series "A Bree and Tanner Thriller". Bree is a girl on the run from this shady organization. She had hid pretty well for years until a ghost from her past showed up and left her life in a complete mess. Bree took off running again, this time with twin newborns with her and ends up in Risk Peak, Colorado. It here she meets lots of lovely people who are willing to help her--- yet for one stubborn cop who is bound and determined to prove she is hiding something. Tanner can look right at Bree and see she is in trouble yet she won't tell him what kind of trouble she is in. So he can only imagine what kind and boy he lets his mind go there.. he worries that her troubles will come to his town's doorstep and that isn't their problem. He starts following her or as he terms it "keeping an eye on" and then Tanner begins to see Bree in a different light. But still he wonders why is she running from her past and what troubles is she in?
Bree is a beautiful and sweet woman who had a pretty bad situation in her past. Without giving anything away from the story, my heart hurt for her. She was trying to do the right thing for the babies and to have Tanner treat her like a criminal drove me nuts. Their story was a slow burn and soon Tanner goes from being suspicious to protective and wooing Bree. Without giving anymore of the book away, I enjoyed the characters and the sweet chemistry. I liked knowing that, even know this is a HFN that we will get another book with Bree and Tanner so their love story isn't over. It's just starting. Good start to a great new series.
