Six years ago, young and bright investment professional Martin David got exactly what he wanted-a relationship with Francis de Bracy, his boss at investment fund Skeiron Capital Partners. Having now started their own business in Germany's banking capital Frankfurt, Martin and Francis's life is sweet and easy. Until the Jesuit Emanuel, Francis's former mentor and teacher, shows up unbidden and unwelcome. Emanuel brings with him a devil's deal: Charles de Bracy, one of Francis's most unforgiving enemies, has sent the Jesuit to broker peace between himself and Francis. And Emanuel does not come empty-handed-Charles is offering Francis the family fortune if Francis travels to the US and reconciles with his estranged father. Martin knows how proud and headstrong Francis is. No amount of money will bend his will. But as toxic as the past is, maybe facing it will finally give Francis peace. Yet, if Charles is anything like his son, he's a formidable foe, and Francis's scars and bitterness run so deep a billion might not be enough to even the scores. Risk Return is the sequel to Return on Investment. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Still a solid 4-star read.
Coming off the high of ROI#1, this book is still felt like a very strong sequel. I realize just how powerful a single POV can be (this series and the Captive Prince trilogy are proof of that.)
Emanuel was at his calculating best. I don't like the guy. He wields too much power over Francis.
Carsten was lovely, as was Syed. I wouldn't have minded at all if Alec had made an appearance. Both families were really interesting. And the ending was just so Francis-a dignified and restrained but utterly satisfying expression of his affection for Martin. He finally utters those 3 lovely words. :) So good.
Now what would it take to convince author to write a third installment in this series?
-----------
This sequel to Return on Investment is a solid read, even though it's much more mellow and much tamer than the first book but shows really strong progression between the two leads. I'm waiting for the next book in this series to be released. Apparently, it's going to be written from Francis' POV, and he's remained an enigma so far, known to the reader only through Martin's eyes. (
