Book Review - Risky Return by Nicole Helms




My Thoughts

Celia left everything behind to become America's Sweetheart including Ryan. They share a secret that he threatens to expose if she doesn't help him by using her celebrity to get his family's reality show off the ground. With her public persona all she has to hold onto, she comes agrees to come home and faces her past - not only with Ryan, but secrets that her own mother uses against her.

I loved that Ryan challenges Celia to let down her mask and be her real self. I admired the strength of Celia who went through something so horrible and came out the other side still able to love. I adored the sweetness of this couple. 

I give Risky Return 4 hearts!

About the Book

Blackmail never felt so right.

Celia Grant has spent the last ten years keeping her past at bay, building her Hollywood reputation as America's Sweetheart. When ex-boyfriend Ryan Harrington threatens to reveal her darkest secrets, she has no choice but to return to Demo, Kansas, and the people she left behind. In exchange for Ryan's silence, she will appear in a reality television show that promises to save his family's legacy.

Ryan Harrington knows an opportunity when he sees one, and using Celia to save his family is one he can’t ignore. But he didn’t count on the pull they still have on each other.

Celia reminds herself that she and Ryan were never destined to have a happily ever after ending like in the movies she stars in. But even as the ghosts of her past refuse to be suppressed any longer, she finds herself tempted by the hopes of a love she never thought she could have. Between secrets, fame, and love, Celia’s made the riskiest return of all.
