About this ebook
Do nice guys always finish last? In the new Extreme Risk novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff, a burnt-out underdog and a vulnerable tomboy defy the pressure to be perfect and go after what they really want.
Bighearted and easygoing, Luc Jennings is falling behind in a family of serious overachievers. While he may be decent enough at snowboarding to turn pro and rack up some sponsors, he’s never topped any podiums—unlike his friends Z, Ash, and Cam. Luc’s always been head over heels for Cam Bradley, but she’s never seen him as anything more than a friend. Now, after years of coming in second, Luc can’t take it anymore—especially if it means watching Cam chase another guy.
Cam hangs out almost exclusively with dudes, and that’s fine by her. She’d much rather be shredding at the Olympics than primping in the mirror. Cam’s wildest dreams have a way of coming true—except when it comes to getting her longtime crush and best friend, Z Michaels, to notice her. Then her mother suddenly shows up after being gone for, like, ever, and Cam’s whole world comes crashing down. Desperate for a place to lay low, she turns to the one person who’s always had her back.
Try as he might to move on, Luc could never leave Cam hanging. He lets her crash at his place—and it isn’t long before she winds up in his bed. With Cam running scared and her icy facade starting to melt at last, Luc’s determined to finally win the only prize that matters.
Praise for Slashed
“Nothing is hotter than best friends who become lovers, and Tracy Wolff nailed it with Slashed. The story is sexy, emotional, and impossible to put down.”—Stina Lindenblatt, author of the Pushing Limits series
“Tracy Wolff does it again. Slashed is a sexy, emotional, and touching ride with a huge splash of girl power! I loved getting to know this group of friends over the first two Extreme Risk books, and was thrilled to finally see Luc and Cam get their moment. I read it twice in four days!”—Sophia Henry, author of Delayed Penalty
“This fast-paced, friends to lovers, new adult sports romance was so entertaining I couldn’t put it down.”—Unquietly Me
“Slashed looks at fated lovers who fell into the gaping hole of disillusionment and doubt only to come away with the possibility of a promise of forever and a happily ever after.”—The Reading Cafe
“Once again I enjoyed this story by Tracy Wolff. . . . If you enjoy sporting reads, you should jump into this series and try it for yourself.”—Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
“My first book by Tracy Wolff—and I really liked it! . . . You don’t have to know or even like snowboarding to enjoy this book, nor do you have to have read the first two books in the series.”—Becky on Books and Quilts
“Slashed was a fine story. Both Cam and Luc were likable, and with their faults they felt real. There is enough drama and steamy scenes to make this an excellent fun and fast read.”—Total Book Geek
“Did I mention it’s also a second chance romance!? Just slay me now. I didn’t put the book down even once.”—Wild Heart Reviews

I have read a number of books by this author. This is the third novel in the Extreme risk series. While you do not necessarily need to read the first two it helps. All three are a little different. The first dealt with the awesome athleticism of Zac. The second one dealt more with emotions. And this one deals more with miscommunication. I like how this author pulls in the characters from the other two books. While this one was good, it was not quite as good as the others. This book focuses on Luc and Cam. Luc has always been a little in love with Cam but after a drunken night where they slept together, she ran out on him. This of course causes their friendships suffer. This book starts a few months after she ran out on him. At first it was a little awkward between them and they tended to avoid and/or not talk to each other. However over time, you see a real relationship bloom. Luc knows he is not the best snowboard of the group, so at times he has to hide his feelings and play off like nothing is wrong. Because he holds everything in, his communication with Cam suffers. This is the most frustrating in books. Always having miscommunications between the H/h, him not telling her how he feels, her not telling him how she feels. However Cam turns to Luc when her mother returns after being gone for years. As he comforts her, their relationship grows. While you do have your HEA, the ending seems a little rushed. I would have liked to see more into the future and see how things are going with them. Maybe there will be more in the next book and I can’t wait until it comes out.

Loved!! It!! I can't get enough of these crazy snowboarding characters. Cam and Luc finally together, hell yeah! They have great chemistry and are two of my favorite characters in this series. Luc can't remember a time when he didn't love Cam. Sadly, she couldn't see him due to the lust in her eyes for Z. Now that Z is out of the game, it's time for Luc to step up! When her long gone mother returns and Cam needs a place to escape to, Luc is more than happy to help her out. Cam is at the top of her game and ready to cash in, unfortunately life might have other plans for her! This is a fantastic story that takes us through the relationship between Luc and Cam as they struggle through life's bumps and fumbles. I highly recommend this one!!

Loved Cam and Luc's story. I read it in one day. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because Luc's insecurities drove me insane towards the end of the book. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and catching up with the guys.

About the author
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—in second grade, around the same time she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. A one-time English professor with over fifty novels to her name, she now devotes most of her time to writing romance and dreaming up heroes. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her family.
