Worth the Risk by Heather Moore

 Alicia has moved back home to help her mom who became a compulsive hoarder after her divorce from Alicia's father.  Alicia is under-employed as a hostess at a local up-scale restaurant where she runs into her high school crush, Jeff Finch.  Although it has been 10 years since Jeff broke her heart her senior year, seeing him brings up an avalanche of feelings and memories. Jeff is astounded to see Alicia again, and, although he has a model-pretty girlfriend, he immediately dumps her and starts trying to apologize to Alicia and re-establish his relationship with the only girl he ever really cared about. Alicia is wary of his advances, but finds in him someone with whom she can share her struggles with her mom. Will their renewed friendship lead to love?

I checked out this book because we have the opportunity to have Heather Moore come and do an author signing at our library.  It is decently written, though the make-out scenes were a little spicier than I prefer.  They were somewhere between a PG and a PG-13 level.  I was a little surprised by that since the author also writes LDS novels.  Her new novel that she is going to talk about at the event is a historical fiction, The Slow March of Light, and we can't keep it on our shelf in the Library, so I hope we have a good turnout for the event.
