REVIEW: Worth the Risk (Pine Valley Book 1) Kindle Edition by Heather B. Moore

USA Today bestselling author Heather B. Moore welcomes you to Pine Valley!

When Alicia moves back to Pine Valley to help her mom through a serious addiction, the last person she wants to see is her teenage crush, Jeff Finch, who destroyed their friendship in one single disastrous night. Alicia is determined to not let anything about Jeff affect her, especially since she hasn’t seen him in ten years. All she knows is that he’s living a successful and charmed life, and she is more than happy to keep anything between them in the past.

I am extremely addicted to Heather Moore novels. She is one of my favorite authors by far I love all of the books I have read of hers and this one doesn't disappoint at all. A must read book.

Alicia...I loved her character! She's a young woman who moved home to care for her mom. Her mom is dealing with a mental illness that causes her to hoard things. Her dad thinks she should leave, put her mom in some kind of home and use her marketing degree she worked so hard for. But Alicia can't stand the idea of leaving her alone, even though they are constantly fighting over her mom's hoarding tendencies. She's working at an exclusive restaurant in Pine Valley and one night who should walk in but her former best friend and crush Jeff, with an apparent model. When he doesn't appear to recognize her, she's kind of sad but willing to move on.

Jeff...he's a successful real estate agent in Pine Valley and he definitely does recognize Alicia, but he's a bit embarrassed about how he had treated her in high school. And he's most definitely not in love with the woman he's with. And he still has a crush on Alicia. I loved how Jeff was willing to do pretty much anything for Alicia to be able to get her to forgive him and give him another chance.

There's a lot that happens in this book, between Alicia's mom and Jeff's ex-girlfriend...so much crazy, fun stuff in the plot. It really kept me guessing. I loved every bit of it! And there's some great kissing in this one too!
