I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchanged for my honest review. I would like to thank them.
This was a great read it's very light and comical, plus it might just make you cry in places. I can't believe this is a debut novel by Jennifer Schmidt, I can't wait to see what else she has coming down our way.

This is about a young woman who has been dealt some tough breaks in life and even though things have settled down for her and she has a nice comfortable life in Montana with a home, plus she has bought and renovated an old bar and grill that is doing a good business. She is still lonely, so she decides to do something that is totally against her character and goes to Vegas alone for the weekend. The last night in a Casino she finds herself totally mesmerized by this man that seems pretty smitten by her as well. She just can't believe her good luck. She lets him buy her drinks and she has such a great time with him. She getting pretty tipsy towards the end of the evening and does something unthinkable for her. She wakes up in the morning in his bed with an awful headache and a plane to catch back to Montana. It's not her practise to spend the night with men she just meets. While she is slinking around trying to gather her clothing she trips over a document, she picks it up and it's a marriage certificate with her and his name on it dated last night. She grabs it and tucks it away and tries to forget about it. She doesn't tell her best friend about it and just hopes that nothing comes of it.
Two years later this tall dark stranger appears at the bar looking for her which is kind of strange because she doesn't date, she leads a pretty solitude life with her cat and dog. The trouble begins when Dean happens to remind her of their marriage. He had his own reason for them to get married but now he is needing to prove that she is and has been his wife for the past two years so he can collect on a sizable inheritance that his Grandfather left to him only with a clause that he be married before he would be able to receive. It's a nasty court battle between him and his deadbeat of a dad on who will should inherit the sizeable estate. His father has been contesting him the whole way. I loved the sexy banter between Novalee and her best friend, Calli as well as the dialog between Dean and herself. This is a great book and I highly recommend it.

I was not sure if I would like this book or not, I am not usually into drunken, what the crap did I just do, moments but this story made it work. It was very cute, the heroine was very real and uncertain of herself. The hero I was not sure if he would redeem himself at first but he did. An enjoyable read.

Review:

"Risking It All" by Jennifer Schmidt was a well written romantic novel that I
found a good and interesting read. This author gave us a wonderful look at
two individuals who had been best friends for over twelve years. These two
characters..Kennedy and Memphis were best friends till the end...well would there were problems. Would this be the end of their friendship? In this read you will find...full blown friendships, emotions, love,happiness, anger, fear, lust and even a love triangle involving Kennedy, Brook and Memphis. "Risking It All" did present a lots of emotions... back and forth with Kennedy that almost drove me crazy but in the end...now, this is where I say you must pick up this good novel to see how this author will get us through all of this with Kennedy, Brook and Memphis. The characters were all strong and well developed from Kennedy, Memphis, Brook, Ryder, Vanessa, Joe,Tanner, Alec and Bradley...giving the reader a well written script. There will be a lots going on so get ready....for a great story.

If you are looking for a good romance that will keep you guessing right up till the end..."Risking It All" is the novel for you and YES, I would recommend this novel as a good read.
