I really love the storyline. And being a new to me author, SM Koz has gotten me as a new loyal reader... the ending was a little bit wanting. The notes suggest there is a follow up but no idea where to find it... and really something more should have been explained about Michelle in THIS book... I will keep searching for a follow up, and I will be checking out the rest of her books. Xx

Paige is one of the best and brightest at Wallingford Academy, a military school that is made up of two distinct groups of students. There are those who, like Paige, are planning to commit their lives to the military and there are the so-called DQ’s, delinquents who have gotten into trouble with the law and are at Wallingford in an attempt to avoid harsher punishment. Logan is a member of the latter group, arriving at Wallingford midyear to try to make himself look good before a court date where he will confront hit and run charges. Logan’s attitude towards military school is not great; he is used to a life of loafing around and playing video games. When Paige is assigned as his mentor, the two seem to have nothing in common. Since they are forced to spend time together, they begin to get to know each other better and soon discover that each of them is more than they seem on the surface.

Risking It All is a cute and fluffy romance that is both predictable and enjoyable. The novel alternates between Paige and Logan’s first-person perspectives. Knowing what was going on in the minds of these two characters makes them more likable at the outset, though you can certainly understand why they drive each other crazy. The characters do have some depth, and their relationship develops in a way that is mostly believable (no instalove here). They also have a mature conversation about physical boundaries (they keep it pretty tame), which I found refreshing. There were no big surprises here, but it was a quick, fun read with a satisfying ending that will appeal to teens who enjoy lighter romances in the lane of other Swoon Reads titles and Jennifer E. Smith.

This was a quick read, mainly because it was so easy to get into it. You start off meeting the main character, Hailey Brown, who has had a rough time being placed in a foster home because of her mentally abusive boyfriend. She finally gets placed with a family in a new school district, who are very wealthy, and she finally decides to try and change so she can stay in one place, with her new foster parents and foster brother, Brad. As the book moves on, Hailey decides to call it quits with her boyfriend, and begins to set a new path with her, with new friends, a new love interest, and a positive outlook. However, as things start going her way, her ex and mother begin to place obstacles in her path, where she is forced to make difficult decisions.
This book is very easy to get into, and makes the reader want to know what happens next. It is definitely meant for mature, young adults who can handle the topic of sex, and sexual situations that come up a few times throughout the book. I would definitely read a sequel to this story if it came out.
