Author Tessa Bailey offers a Top 5 list from the view point of Ruby and Troy from His Risk to Take.
My top five favorite things about Troy Bennett
By Ruby Elliott
1) He needs a haircut. I like a guy who doesn’t look like he spent twenty minutes perfecting his hair. Means he doesn’t mind my fingers digging into it.
2) He makes a great omelet. A hot man that cooks…how many guys do you know keep pre-chopped peppers in their fridge, ready to go at a moment’s notice?
3) Those blue eyes. I know when Troy is in the same room with me. I can feel his eyes on me, making me want to do something bad to keep them there.
4) He trusts me. I’m the first to admit I don’t exactly inspire trust in people. After all, I hustle people out of money for a living. But Troy sees more in me.
5) His mouth. Troy knows exactly what he wants. Me. And he doesn’t hold back when telling me exactly how and where he wants me.
My top five favorite things about Ruby Elliott
By Troy Bennett
1) She knows what I’m thinking. Ruby is the most perceptive person I’ve ever met. Sometimes I only have to communicate what I’m thinking with a look.
2) She makes me work for it. I like a challenge. I’ve never had a bigger one than Ruby. She wants to be chased? Game on.
3) Her ass. If you’ve ever seen her bend over a pool table, you’d know what I mean. And if you’re a man who happens to be looking, I’d advise you to stop.
4) Her Loyalty It might get her in trouble with alarming frequency, but if you’ve got Ruby on your side, she’s not going anywhere. No matter how hard you try and get her to see reason.
5) Her smart mouth. She never stops giving me excuses to try and quiet her down. It never works, though. She usually ends up screaming…
