My Review:
If pressed to review this book in just a few words, I would have to say it was amazing and very hard to put down.
Now you know I'm not a woman of few words, so let's go into the whys of my love of Risk of a Lifetime. First of all characters. As usual this is a biggie with me and I love that Marcy and JB have a history, they were/are married, he may not know about the still married part, but she does. They have this bond they cannot sever. She couldn't sign the divorce papers, he can't help but want to save her and he always calls her "sugar" {swoon}. However Marcy has stood on her own two feet and JB has continued his life following the dream of being in the FBI. But when they are thrown back together again the sparks do fly and both characters begin to grow and mature into two people that can make it as a couple. It takes a crazy man after them both to show them, but they do start to work through things.
I also enjoyed the plot. There are some curves thrown in this one and every time I thought I had this one figured out, Ms. Shelton changed it up on me. Kudos to her on this one. It was a great suspense plot to go with the character development.
I thoroughly enjoyed Risk of a Lifetime. The characters seemed real and I loved the way they matured enough to figure out how to be together. I also really enjoyed the suspense. It kept me enthralled through the whole book. As a romantic suspense book it scores perfectly on both elements. Keeping a nice balance of romance and suspense. I truly will look forward to more books by Ms. Shelton!
My Rating: 5.0/5.0
Summary
Three years ago, Marcy
Bradley let the man she loved go so he could follow his career dream of
being an FBI agent. She sent divorce papers. He signed. She never filed
them. Injured during his last assignment, FBI Special Agent Jean
Bernard—JB—Bradley questions the integrity of his fellow agents. A few
days recuperation back in his hometown will give him the perspective he
needs. The added bonus is it’ll give him time to convince his ex-wife to
come back to him, despite his life of risk. But when Marcy experiences a
slew of unexplained accidents, JB realizes he brought the danger to her
doorstep. With a killer after them, Marcy and JB run for their lives,
escaping to a lakeside cabin. Their love is rekindled, and JB realizes
they’re still married, but will there be time for their passion amidst
the explosions and gunshots?

Author Biography (from her website):
Ummmmm...maybe I'll figure that one out someday. For now though, that's why I write sexy Alphas and the women strong enough to love them.
You might say my writing career began in grade school with advanced English classes. Years later, the love-of-my-life and a family and the everyday world embraced me. I was living my happily-ever-after to the fullest! No, my stories are not about my life, but I'm glad for all that fabulous research.
Sharing time with my family and pets is always a source of happiness. And, relaxing on my swing with a good book is a great way to start (or end) the day.
By the way, if someone said I could go anywhere in the world, my first response would be:"Where's the water? Where's the sand? Where's the dang suntan lotion?!?!?"
