Description
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.
Praise for Slashed “Nothing is hotter than best friends who become lovers, and Tracy Wolff nailed it with
Slashed. The story is sexy, emotional, and impossible to put down.”
-- Stina Lindenblatt, author of the Pushing Limits series“Tracy Wolff does it again.
Slashed is a sexy, emotional, and touching ride with a huge splash of girl power! I loved getting to know this group of friends over the first two Extreme Risk books, and was thrilled to finally see Luc and Cam get their moment. I read it twice in four days!”
-- Sophia Henry, author of Delayed Penalty
“This fast-paced, friends to lovers, new adult sports romance was so entertaining I couldn't put it down.”
-- Unquietly Me “
Slashed looks at fated lovers who fell into the gaping hole of disillusionment and doubt only to come away with the possibility of a promise of forever and a happily ever after.”
-- The Reading Cafe “Once again I enjoyed this story by Tracy Wolff. . . . If you enjoy sporting reads, you should jump into this series and try it for yourself.”
-- Nomi's Paranormal Palace “My first book by Tracy Wolff -- and I really liked it! . . . You don't have to know or even like snowboarding to enjoy this book, nor do you have to have read the first two books in the series.”
-- Becky on Books and Quilts “
Slashed was a fine story. Both Cam and Luc were likable, and with their faults they felt real. There is enough drama and steamy scenes to make this an excellent fun and fast read.”
-- Total Book Geek “Did I mention it's also a second chance romance!? Just slay me now. I didn't put the book down even once.”
