Review: His Risk by Shelley Shephard Gray

About:


An undercover English DEA agent will do anything to protect the Amish girl he loves.

Calvin Fisher left the Amish community at fourteen and never looked back. Only his brother's illness can bring him back to Hart County. Now, as Calvin works to make amends, he meets Alice, a local nursery school teacher, and falls hard for her. But he has a secret that could threaten the happiness he's finally found.

Alice shouldn't like-or want-Calvin. He's English, has a questionable past, and an even more questionable job. Still, she can't help being intrigued. Though Calvin assures Alice that he's worthy of her, she's torn between surrendering to her growing feelings and steering clear of him.


When a sudden surge of criminal activity alarms the community and even targets Alice, Calvin fears that his double life has put everyone he loves at risk. 

As for Alice, she can't help but wonder if the brave and honorable man she's lost her heart to is far more dangerous than she could ever imagine.


My Thoughts:

I was hooked right from the start with author Gray’s newest in her Amish of Hart County series. Calvin Fisher, once a troubled Amish teen, is back to his hometown only now he is English. Coming back for his brother due to a family emergency, Calvin is concerned about bringing his troubles with him. Trying to turn his life around and now working for the DEA as an undercover agent in a gang, he has a lot on his plate. And he especially has no time for thoughts of a normal life with a wife. However, when he meets Alice, his protective instincts get the better of him.

Alice has a past as well and instead of forgetting, wants to learn from it and move on. Alice and her best friend Irene are both trying to learn from their shared circumstances and move on. What most surprised me about this book was that I was very interested in not only the hero Calvin, but also West the bad guy: especially his and Irene’s story.

It was nice getting to meet up with Mark and Waneta again, even though it came with scary health concerns. I recommend this whole series with enough romance and suspense to keep you turning pages quickly.


I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
