Mason
Every move I make is scrutinized by my competitors and insufferable family. As the rebel in my social circle, I’m finally cutting the puppet strings of everyone who’s tried to control me. It’s time to let the real Mason Finch come out to play, and Leah has just entered my game.

She’s my house cleaner. My fascination. My biggest risk.

I play to win. She plays for fun. The stakes are sky-high, and I’ll do anything to make her mine. No matter the cost.

Leah
When Mason slides into my life, our fun fling turns into a wild romance that’s straight out of a spicy novel. If the media finds out he’s dating his maid, who also happens to be a popular camgirl, both our careers will be in jeopardy. But we can’t keep away from each other and the thrill of getting caught or being watched is addictive.

Is what we have worth the risk, or should I break things off before it blows up in our faces?

Screw it. I’m going all in. Here’s hoping I can protect us both from the backlash.

I think I love Mason way more than Leah, lol. Mason was headover heels in love when Leah walked in on him in the shower when she was cleaning his apartment. And he was sprung lol he found out she was a cam girl and made a username to spend time with her. But that didn't last long because both found out. So, no secerts last long between the two.

I love that Mason was so supportive of Leah job that he didn't care if anyone looked at her site. Leah, on the other hand, was so hard to enjoy that she kept pushing away and honest this man was giving everything to her. They had some rocky parts due to Leah not wanting help or thinking a rich guy like him would want someone like her.

We do have family drama. Besides that pretty smutty.

✨💗RISK ARC REVIEW BY BRIANA MICHAELS✨�

okay first off, CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES.

second of all, Glitch was my mf baby but MASON??? just swept the #1 spot! I literally messaged Briana this morning at 5am saying 'Risk is so hot. There were times where i almost busted out the rose' 💀

I wanna be like Leah, she's one lucky gal! I enjoyed this, this pulled out my weird slump! If you just need smut with little to no plot, this is for you. The smut made me glitch in the best way possible and it's all Mason and Leah.

tropes:
� cam girl x billionaire
� instalove
� he falls first and HARD
� exhibitionism
� voyeurism

rating: 5 ⭐️
spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5

I love all the books in this series and while reading this one I was already thinking how I'm gonna give this 5 stars and mark it as my best read this year so far! But then the last 10% of the book happened 😭 I just didn't like Leah's new business (rather Leah and Mason contributing. I love the business itself 😍), it just felt like too much (which is funny considering the entire book is a fairy tale 🤣).
But overall it was amazing, Mason is a walking green flag and I just love how all these stories are kinky but finally not toxic with trigger warnings.

Okay I really thought I was gonna speed run this book and it was gonna be short, hot, and smutty but it fell flat for me😵‍� the forbidden aspect didn’t feel that forbidden and it was more on the lighter sweeter side than I thought tbh. I liked mason’s character though and how pathetic he was but I just didn’t enjoy enjoy the writing and it barely had smut plus it was not that kinky even though the dirty talk was good

I just wanna be Leah and find my Mason 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🥰🥰� that's it, that's my review.

Not usually a fan of instalove, but it fit here. Mason is a sweetheart, and I love how he keeps telling himself to tone it down and then just goes overboard anyway.

Leah is so hot, and I love that she's confident outside of the cam girl persona.

I loved that neither he nor his friends made a deal about her being a cleaner or a cam girl, not for one second.

I just really loved it

Okay, I don't know what to tell you guys. This book was average at best. Below average might be more accurate. I don't know why I just didn't dnf and throw it away. This book ruined the word "princess" for me.

Only the first 2 books in this series were worth reading. I don't know why I keep hoping the next book will be good.

Holy Moly ..... this book ..... I'm not sure what words will describe all the emotions I just went through. It was spicy, emotional (happy and sad), detailed but not overbearing. I'm just wow .... in awe of how this amazing author writes. Spicy romance with everyday life thrown in, billionaires and breaking the stereotypical moulds - you just gotta read this one!!!!

I love this series. Briana Michaels balances spice and plot beautifully. Being authentic to yourself will make the connection to your counter point clear. There's also nothing better than an MMC who will beg.

It's always fun to read a Briana Michaels book. Leah and Mason were entertaining to watch break down their walls and find in each other exactly what they were looking for, to hell with the opinions of those that didn't matter in the end.

Wow I loved this book, honestly I couldn’t read it quick enough!! The chemistry between Leah and Mason was electric and the spice was sooooo hot!! Leah is Mason’s cleaner and is also a cam girl. Mason feels a connection to Leah straight away but she’s harder to convince. This is the fave book in the series and I highly highly recommend you read it!!

4.25 stars. This story is dual POV, well written, and a highly erotic, contemporary romance. I enjoyed Leah’s self-confidence and her entrepreneurial spirit. I enjoyed Mason’s determination to escape from the role his family had set out for him. I enjoyed the banter and playfulness. I enjoyed the mutual exploration and the joy the characters had in finding their interests and life goals matched.

This book didn’t captivate me as much as the others. It felt different from the previous ones in several ways. For starters, the main characters didn’t know each other beforehand (just to clarify, I’m not considering here since I read it two years ago). I’m not sure if this change in dynamic is the reason, but I wasn’t as drawn to this book as I was to the others in the series.

As the story progressed, it completely lost me. The relationship between Leah and Mason felt so unrealistic and, at times, forced. I couldn’t truly feel invested in their story.

I loved Leah, though, she’s so confident and easily the best part of this book. But I could have done without all of Mason’s family drama; it was exhausting and really pulled me out of the story. Also, he’s supposed to be a successful, wealthy businessman, yet he was still letting his family dictate his life? No, thanks. That didn’t make any sense to me.

And I have to say, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a real exhibitionism scene on-page with them. It was the whole premise of their story together, so I thought we’d at least get something by the end.

DNFing @ 40ish percent.

I went into this for a fun/short read, and instead (imo) I got a cringe fest filled with the MMC calling the MFC �Princess� way too many times (the first few times were fine, but after the 10th time? The 20th?? Over it lol.), the MFC going from alright to insufferable so quickly with her sudden �why does he like me? He can’t like me. I don’t need him. It’s too scary to be an adult and talk about my feelings, so I’m just going to run away and then blab my mouth in public some more, in the most detail possible, in an open space where people can hear�� bs�also, you’ve known each other for like a week, why are you already being so dramatic about him just wanting to freaking take you on a date??? it’s not like he proposed girl, chillllll—and then, to top it off, the smutty scenes were pretty meh. Probably because I sensed no connection, no real chemistry, and we’ve basically learned nothing about either of them, and just the way they were written in general, but yeah. ALSO, random thought, how are they running into each other EVERYWHERE?? Again, I’ve only read up to 40ish percent, but they’ve somehow magically run into each other out and about at least 4 separate times.

Anyways…yeah, this book just wasn’t for me. 🤷🏻‍♀�

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶🌶🌶/5

TW - fainting at the sight of blood (on page), divorce (scs, mentioned), family drama incl disownment

CW - exhibitionism, voyeurism, food play (client), foot worship (client), sex work (cam girl), very light daddy, public play, hand necklaces, biting, impact play (belting), cum eating, snowballing

Tropes - insta love, he falls first, camgirl, erotica, rich af MMC

This was really cute and fast paced. Leah (FMC) is a bit harsh with Mason (MMC) at fist but you can tell that it's self preservation. Imo, the characters were very well suited to each other and their vibes complimented each other very well and I LOVED that Mason got to experience real love and compassion from Leah. And ofc, they were hot

I really enjoy the books in this series 💋


Scale:
⭐️ - would've DNF'ed / continued out of spite
⭐️⭐️ - shit, but whatever
⭐️⭐️⭐️ - meh, could've been better
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - lit 👅
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - loved it, inject this shit into my veins 🤪

🫑 - no smut
🌶 - no point
🌶🌶 - mediocre at best
🌶🌶🌶 - standard smut, hot
🌶🌶🌶🌶 - 🥵 okay, some CW
🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 - fuck me 🥵🥵 CWs / filthy with a side of filth - see / /

Oh the emotions that I experienced reading this were crazy, I feel like I became so attached to Leah & her story then add in Mason & his crazy family, it was a roller coaster I would ride over & over. Leah is a cleaner & absolutely loves her job, but it doesn’t pay the bills completely, so she also had a side hustle as Daisy Ren & you would be surprised what men would pay for a recording of, but no judgement here though. Leah finds herself walking in on the big tech daddy Mason & it all went uphill from there because when Mason wants something he goes after it full force & he wants his little princess in naughty ways. The problem that comes with them being together seems to more of an issue for Leah than Mason because the man doesn’t care about her career choice because she works her butt off for what she has. Oh my goodness the gala was a literal hoot & I giggled, but also was baffled Scarlett would be so awful. Enjoyed every chapter & the spice was great as always. Definitely would read again.

Leah and Mason

TW: horrible parents, sl*t shaming


The only disappointing thing? That Carson didn’t get to be all big bro on Mason. I would’ve loved to see him and Mak get all protective of Leah. Would’ve been sooo funny.

Annywaaayy. I definitely wanted to read Leah’s book since we were introduced to her. It was not what I expected though. I enjoyed the story a lot and I have no idea what I was expecting but it wasn’t this.
That being said the female empowerment was top notch in here. I did enjoy that a lot.
These two were fun and while this was short and at times they were totally rushing it was cute.

Tropes: insta connection, she works for him(kinda- she cleans his house), billionaire romance, he fell first and harder, I don’t want or need your handouts FMC, he wants to spoil her rotten

Spice: 🌶️🌶️
ٱ𲹳:🔥🔥🔥
Sweetness: 💗💗💗

Mason beats Glitch. I know, I'm shocked too. Honestly, he's the perfect man. Like even by book boyfriend standards. And Leah, the FMC, is so fun and refreshing and hard-working. She goes after what she wants with all of her heart. This is my new favorite book in the series 😍♥️🥵 It's so easy, so low angst, so hot ,so precious in its beauty of watching two people who don't know love finding it in each other.

If you read this review and think "I prefer more angst and drama, insta-love isn't my thing, I need the push and pull but I love Briana's writing", then have no fears because Briana's other new book Ryker is perfect for you!!! But for me and anyone else who can't get enough of the insta-love, this book is easy going perfection.

Risk, written by Briana Michaels, is the fifth book in the Next Level series.

Format: KU ebook
Genre: Contemporary fiction, Romance
Spice level:🌶️🌶️🌶�

Mason (MMC)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Billionaire Tech Genius

Leah (FMC)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Camgirl, Maid

It is lonely at the top of the world, Leah just wants to help Mason feel so much better…�

I love that Mason didn’t try to change Leah at all, he encouraged her to be who she was without judgement or denial. I also appreciate how he didn’t let his families expectation deter him from being who he truly is, or deter him from being with the FMC!

Very interested to see who gets the next book in the series, or if there will be a new series. I loved the side characters in this book, with the exception of Mason’s mother of course!

Overall score:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Take a Risk & Read�

I truly don’t think I will ever get enough of the Next Level Series. If you are looking for a quick read with delicious smut and tons of heart, this series is PERFECT for you!

Briana has done it again with the latest Next Level book: Risk I adore Mason & Leah and let’s be honest, we ALL deserve to have our own Mason in our life! The way he treats Leah is perfection!

I love how each book in the Next Level series has its own feel and identity for each couple. For Mason & Leah, it was more lighthearted and packed full of FUN! I can’t wait to see what is next in this world and I won’t be upset if is includes Mason’s boys!!!

Every book in the Next Level series has been super enjoyable. There was absolutely nothing not to love about Mason in this book. He's definitely in the top two for me. Leah was interesting but I didn't vibe with her too much. I did like the storyline a lot, it had a bit of depth to it and showed different aspects of each of theirs lives and the differences. Of course the steam was fire hot but I loved how they were able to come to together in the end.

Mason is such a simp for Leah and I love it! He supports both of her jobs, knowing it makes her who she is, and he'd never try to change it. If he's being honest with himself, she is everything he wishes he could be without the restraints of society.

Leah is strongly independent and loves what she does. House cleaner by day, Daisy Ren by night; she works for her own money and is proud of it.

This was a great book; sweet and sexy, instalove with no third act breakup which was so nice for a change. Family drama ensues and disapproving parents, and the big eff you at the end was amazing.
I hope we get some books now including the other guys from the BanditFX team, they were hilarious and instantly accepted Leah in their little family group.

Cam girl, other job is cleaning houses. Always wears mask & makeup on cam.

MMC is billionaire, into exhibitionism.

She cleans his house. Once was rushing to get there and had her pro makeup on. He happened to be home in the shower.

Later he sees her at a restaurant, and overhears others discussing if she's the cam girl.

He looks her up, requests live. During it he drops his phone and she realizes it's him.

He wants to hide their relationship bc he doesn't want her attacked by media.

At end, they launch her brain child, an online service that specializes in romantic porn for women.

Honestly, another let down. Meh. I'm not really into voyeurism or exhibitionism, so the story fell kinda flat for me.

This Next Level Series book is just the happiest thing I’ve read! Leah is such a likable character you can’t help to want to be her friend, and Mason is just so wonderful to her! I kept waiting for Mase to be an a$$hat but ladies he’s one of the good ones! A true cinnamon roll who should be protected at all cost. Do not be fooled by the sweetness of this book though yall, because it is spicy! It wouldn’t be Briana Michaels if it wasn’t HOT AF.
10/10 must read!
