"It’s a fun read, a very real feeling romance, with barriers on both sides, and yet they can't seem to keep away. I could feel that magic pull between them and love that. It wasn't a clothes off, sex on in second chapter romance, but a slow burn one where for much they are nothing more than friends secretly attracted to each other, and then friends who admit attraction but understand it can't go further....til it does ;-) "
- Netgalley Review"Totally enjoyed this book of the novice actor in her first paid production in an off-Broadway play of Hamlet. I give this: 5 stars!" - Netgalley Review

"If you’re looking for a great story of forgiveness, second chances, and what it means to be a family, this book has your name on it. I was given an arc of this story for an honest opinion of the work and can I just tell you it’s wonderful in every way? Because it is! 5 well deserved, emotional stars from me!" - Goodreads Review, Author Peggy Jaeger
"Goldstein has the knack for creating well-developed characters, who are so vividly portrayed they seem like real people, and by the end I was rooting for these two to get their happy ending. I really enjoy Goldstein’s writing style, her characters and descriptive settings are really well done. I felt like I’d taken a trip to New York City by the time I’d finished The Risk of Happiness, and it was with a hot punk rock star too––what could be better?" -Goodreads Review, Author Donna Simonetta
