The Risks We Take Duet includes the complete Cooper and Carys story - Worth the Risk and Worth the Fight as well as a bonus story, Worth it All. 

 

Growing up Carys was the youngest in her family and protected by her brother. She headed to San Diego for college and to follow a certain someone across the country. It was her chance to find herself and start fresh. Cooper was always the one for Carys. Being her brother’s best friend, and now her step-brother complicates things slightly. Loving each other was simple, it was everything else that was complicated. Both need to figure out if they can shut off all the outside noise and let love prevail. 

 

Cooper and Carys’ relationship was not simple. There were so many obstacles in their way, but that made the payoff so much better. I loved how much these two loved and cared for each other, but they go through so much to get to their happy ending. The connection between these two is so beautiful and their chemistry is smoking! Both Carys and Cooper are faced with life changing things, and they hurt each other in the process. Some of the things these two went through broke my heart, but I trusted that Bella Matthews would put it back together again and she did, in the most beautiful way possible. Even when these two were not together, they were drawn to each other and loved each other so much. 

 

Along with Cooper and Carys comes an extra large family and friend group. I loved seeing more of the Sinclair/Murphy family as well as all the 2nd generation babies being born. I also loved seeing their friends in California and would love to see what happened to them all. Cary and Cooper have managed to surround themselves with a great group of people who are honest with them and call them on their nonsense. 

 

This book is heartbreaking. You may need a box of tissues to get through it, but the payoff is worth it. Bella Matthews wrote a wonderful story about a deep love that is taken through its paces. Thank you to the author for a copy of this series. All opinions are 100% mine.
