Selby was a BADASS heroine. She was super intelligent and her line of work was pretty darn cool too. She handled top secret projects that required high clearance as well. So you can see how Garrett and Selby come together. Lars hires Selby to find a replacement for Evan, Garrett’s friend. An easier-said-than-done task, you see. Garrett was convinced Evan’s “accidental” death was anything but an accident, so he was very hesitant where anything Evan-related was concerned. When you are a daredevil and an adrenalin junkie the risk is never enough, even if death is a distinct possibility! For billionaire entrepreneur Garrett Emerson the more dangerous the risk, the better! In this new series by author Kym Grosso, we are introduced to this panty dropping, danger seeking, alpha male and the woman that raises his blood pressure alone with other body parts. Carnal Risk, book one in the Club Altura Romance series will trigger the readers adrenalin flow, as well. Once again this amazing author constructs a world of intrigue and romance that captures her readers and traps them within the story she has created. Garrett Emerson is a CEO who loves to take risk in all things, life, and business. He lives in a world that is not for everyone. But I also loved that we got to see different sides to him. Him cooking, being fun and having a laugh. Even though I hate to say it, I wasn't a huge fan of the name Selby. I'm not even sure why. I just kept calling her Shelby and it got a bit annoying. But hey, you can't love every single name.

Upon the death of Garrett's close friend and colleague, Evan, he meets Sydney through a mutual friend, Lars. Sydney is the answer to Garrett's problem. He needs an IT director and a HR guru to fill Evan's empty set. He doesn't mind that she's easy on the eyes either. Once they start working together, not only do sparks fly, but so do the clues pointing to Evan's death not being an accident. Garrett and Sydney grow closer as they suss out motives and clues to Evan's murder. When Selby's life is threatened by a killer, carnal lessons of trust are put to the test, forcing them to choose who is friend and who is foe. Can Selby give her heart to a man who revels in the excitement of flirting with death? Will they prevail against an enemy who threatens to tear apart Garrett's world, including the fragile connection with the woman he seeks to claim as his own?Well that was certainly a good book. Carnal Risk was a exciting read. The beginning chapter had my jaw on the floor and all the exciting adventures pretty much kept it there. CARNAL RISK is an erotic tale of friendship, betrayal, money and greed. There are moments of action, suspense, mystery and intrigue shrouded in a secret world of extreme sports and pleasure seeking enthusiasts. Our introduction to Club Altura is exotic and alluring with an aura of power and sex; membership is exclusive; the thrill of the chase a must; a fear of flying is not an option. The storyline premise is exciting and inviting; the characters engaging, charismatic and compelling; the romance is sexual, seductive and intense. Stimulate your senses as you free fall into the world of billionaires and thrill seeking alpha males. Garrett Emerson is a self-made billionaire and CEO of Emerson Industries, he's also an adrenaline junkie that appreciates the finer things in life such as: sky diving, base jumping, etc. While sky-diving with his best-friend, an unfortunate "accident" occurs, leading to Evan's untimely death. Not only his best-friend, but also CTO with a hand in many different projects, Evan's passing affects all aspects of Emerson Industries day-to-day business including secret government contracts and top-secret research. I loved the erotic nature that this story has to it and actually would have liked to have had a bit more "naughty", lol. They all belong to Club Altura which even though we don't know a whole lot on it because it's not the main focus of the stories I am still intrigued by it. I think I would like to see the envelop pushed a bit more, nothing too crazy BUT these stories have the potential to get a bit wild and I would like to see more of that.

Powerful CEO, Garrett Emerson’s, life and corporation are built on a foundation of risk taking and top secret priorities. He works hard, but plays even harder. When tragedy strikes, the charismatic and sexy billionaire takes the gamble of his life by bringing a beautiful consultant into his inner sanctum, exposing her to his exclusive society of extreme athletes who are adventurous both in business and pleasure. Inexplicably drawn to the intriguing woman, Garrett teaches her to face her fears, bringing them both to new levels of ecstasy. I found the plot rather ridiculous. The first meeting at the bar? Yeah, no way. I don't buy the reason for Lars why he introduced them in this setting. I just rolled my eyes.Together, the chemistry between Garrett and Selby is explosive. There weren't any lulls in this story. Non-stop action between the suspense angle (was Evan's death an accident?), the dare-devil antics, and steamy romance kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. For once, I've read and enjoyed a billionaire romance that broke the mold! Lars brings his friend Garrett to Selby's show and it turns out that Lars wants Selby to help Garrett out with filling a position at his company after Garrett's best friend is killed when they are sky diving (horrible way to go man). Would I recommend this book: Yes! When a book has hot, hunky alpha males and a smart sexy female that do whatever is necessary to get the job done, then it is a great read. This book sizzles with intense attraction while dealing with ‘a who done’ question!
