Risking It All

Kennedy Monroe barely got her foot in her college dorm her freshman year before she was being warned about a certain dark-haired, blue-eyed self-proclaimed Casanova. There were only so many tales of heartache - and incredibly steamy nights - she could listen to before she started to believe them. But after a run in with the most sought after college womanizer, her ill feelings toward him change and soon a friendship forms that surprises everyone. Twelve years later Kennedy and Memphis Adams are closer than ever - and only friends despite what those around them think, including Kennedy's boyfriend Ian Brooks. When Kennedy accepts an invitation to vacation in Alaska from Memphis, her relationship with Brooks is tested as is her restraint when it comes to the desire she has always had for her best friend. Alone with Memphis in Alaska, Kennedy finds it increasingly harder to ignore temptation and wants nothing more than to give into her secret desires with the one man that has always been off limits. But is one night of passion worth the possible risk of losing their friendship over? Feeling torn between doing the right thing and doing what she wants, Kennedy fears losing her best friend. She knows she needs to sort out her feelings for the two men in her life and deal with the consequences of her actions, but how can she when everything seems to be falling apart so fast? And how much can Memphis take before he's pushed too far and can no longer take Kennedy's inability to make a decision about what and who she wants? Kennedy discovers the harsh reality of how one night can change everything and leave her risking it all. Praise for Risking It All: "Risking it All takes you on a journey of emotions; the ones you wear on your sleeve and the ones you keep deep inside because of fear. Friendship, lust, love, angst, anger, happiness, fear, frustration and more...it is all in this book! The story doesn't make you feel like a voyeur but draws you in that you become one with the characters." - Sara Stanton http: //therisqueredheadreads.com/ "Jennifer Schmidt takes you on a passionate and emotional journey through Memphis and Kennedy's friendship as they try to figure out if they really are willing to risk it all. She has done a fantastic job, and has written an amazing story of friendship, love and life and how dealing with all of these things is always easier said than done." - Rose http: //thebooklistreviews.blogspot.com "I could say a million great things about this book, and these characters but it all boils down to one thing...this is a must read book. It's as simple as that." - Lindsay @Goodreads "The love that these two had for each other knows no bounds... It's a friendship that anyone would be envious of. The thing I appreciated the most about this story, is the pace in which their relationship grew from friendship to something deeper. For once, I'm able to really get to know my characters on such an emotional level." - Alyssa @Goodreads
