Risque Business by Tawny Weber


Enjoyable if a little bland
3 stars

Professor Delaney Connor needs a makeover to win a promotion at work so she knows it’s fate when she wins a contest for a brand new look. When her new look brings her into close contact with hot author, Nick Angel, there’s only one thing on her mind.

Unfortunately, Nick believes that good sex is purely physical while Delaney is convinced that emotion makes sex all the better. So the pair enter a bet – one month in each others company while both try to prove the other wrong. No matter who wins, it’s going to be a month that neither forgets.


I did enjoy this book however ironically, with the characters debating between emotion vs action, having more of both in this book would have made it a much better story overall.

I liked both Delaney and Nick although both could have done with a little more depth. Delaney, being a geeky girl that transformed into a glamorous chick, could have been a lot more relatable than she ultimately was. The pair worked well together but again, a little more emotion could have made them the perfect couple.

As with any Blaze novel, there were some hot sex scenes although they didn’t completely scorch the pages and weren’t as plentiful as other similar books I have read.

Overall, this is a readable and enjoyable novel with likeable characters and believable situations. It could have been so much better but as it is, it’s still worth a read if you’ve got a couple of hours to spare. 3 stars.
