I have read all the Extreme Risks books and this one was a bit disappointing. I have been waiting for Cam and Luc's story through the other two books. Their story was simmering in the background and it seemed to have the makings of a really good best friends to lover story. It started out where we left off...these two were drunk and slept together. Cam didn't handle the morning after well and disappeared. Luc, who constantly thinks he plays second, third, even forth best to this best friends is beyond hurt but plays it off. He doesn't do a stellar job as he ignores Cam and their friendship suffers.
The best part of this book is seeing these two come around even after hurting each other. It seemed real and the miscommunication was endless but they inherently love each other. They want to fix their relationship and even move it to the next level. The secondary storylines of Luc playng second fiddle to all of his buddies in snowboarding and Cam's mom reappearing after leaving when she is a child aren't explored enough but had the potential to be powerful storylines. Also, the ending and HEA was rushed and so much more detail could have been provided. This book left me wanting more but it was still an enjoyable read.
