Slashed (Extreme Risk, #3)

by Tracy Wolff

Do nice guys always finish last? In the new Extreme Risk novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff, a burnt-out underdog and a vulnerable tomboy defy the pressure to be perfect and go after what they really want.

Bighearted and easygoing, Luc Jennings is falling behind in a family of serious overachievers. While he may be decent enough at snowboarding to turn pro and rack up some sponsors, he’s never topped any podiums—unlike his friends Z, Ash, and Cam. Luc’s always been head over heels for Cam Bradley, but she’s never seen him as anything more than a friend. Now, after years of coming in second, Luc can’t take it anymore—especially if it means watching Cam chase another guy.

Cam hangs out almost exclusively with dudes, and that’s fine by her. She’d much rather be shredding at the Olympics than primping in the mirror. Cam’s wildest dreams have a way of coming true—except when it comes to getting her longtime crush and best friend, Z Michaels, to notice her. Then her mother suddenly shows up after being gone for, like, ever, and Cam’s whole world comes crashing down. Desperate for a place to lay low, she turns to the one person who’s always had her back.

Try as he might to move on, Luc could never leave Cam hanging. He lets her crash at his place—and it isn’t long before she winds up in his bed. With Cam running scared and her icy facade starting to melt at last, Luc’s determined to finally win the only prize that matters.

We finally get Luc and Cam's story, and I have to say, I really liked the direction Wolff took with these two.

Both were so insecure. Luc believed his talent was inferior to that of his best friends. Cam believed she was just one of the boys, and undesirable to the opposite sex. But, they were perfect together. They just didn't realize it yet.

As with the previous Extreme Risk books, the friendship between these four played a huge role, and I love the way they support and encourage each other, while they also call each other out on their BS.

It's hard to reveal my favorite parts without revealing a major plot point (which I hate when people do), but I will say I enjoyed this book, and am super excited to see who will get the spotlight in the next book
