Synopsis: What else can a virgin do when she’s ditched at the altar? Seattle heiress Mackenzie Dupont is treating herself to a single-girl honeymoon in Mexico and a desire to relinquish her innocence to a gorgeous one-night stand. Fake names. True pleasure. But when she wakes up alone, Mackenzie realizes just how much anger is left in her broken heart.
Suffering a tragic personal loss, pro soccer player Slade Rodriguez has his reasons for vanishing without a goodbye. Right or wrong, he’s blaming the beautiful and infuriating stranger he never wants to see again. They’re both in for a shock when Mackenzie shows up as his new personal assistant. And they both have a lot to learn about each other. Because they share more than they could possibly know, including a common enemy who’s playing his own games. And he’s not afraid to get dirty.
Now there’s only one way Mackenzie and Slade can win: to trust in each other and to stop hiding from the lies they’ve told, the secrets they’ve kept, the mistakes they’ve made, and the attraction that still burns between them.
I have to be honest and say that this is the first book that I've read from this author! I've known about her for years and met her at a book signing, but I hadn't sat down and read any of her books! I was then sent an email about this book and it sounded like my kind of read and the cover is stunning, so I decided to read it! After reading this book, I can say that I loved it a lot! I was drawn in right from the first chapter and I kept wanting to read on and find out what was going to happen next! I also loved the direction that the plot went in and that there were quite a few seriously hot scenes between the two main characters! This book also only took me a few sittings to read and I really tried to take my time reading it, but I failed lol! There wasn't any action or suspense in the plot, but I was expecting this because it's a contemporary romance book! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Mackenzie was the main female character, and in this book she had just been through a messy sort of break-up, and she was left feeling sad and disappointed! Mackenzie then wanted to find someone that really loved her and she definitely found him lol! I loved Mackenzie in this book! She came from a rich family, but didn't flaunt her money and she had a job and looked after herself! Mackenzie was also easy for me to connect with and she never gave up on her love interest, even when he was an ass to her! Slade was the main male character and love interest of Mackenzie! I loved Slade a lot at the beginning of this book! He was seriously hot and it was easy to see that he had feelings for Mackenzie! Slade then went through a horrible loss and this did change him for a time and he was mean to Mackenzie! He then changed again after realising that he was blaming Mackenzie for something that wasn't her fault! It was also easy to see that Mackenzie had changed Slade and it was easy to see how much Slade loved Mackenzie! I loved that this book was written from both Mackenzie and Slade's point of views! I was kinda expecting it to be after I read the synopsis, so I'm really happy that it was! It helped me connect and understand Mackenzie and Slade more and it allowed for more things to happen in the plot, especially as they didn't spend every minute of the book together and they were going through their own situations! I now can't wait to read the next book in this series! I'm assuming that it's going to focus on a secondary character as the ending of this book was left at the perfect place for Mackenzie and Slade! I'm not sure though because I can't find any information on the next book, so I guess I'll have to wait until closer to this book's release date to find out more information about the next booklol! The cover for this book is also absolutely stunning! I loved it as soon as I saw it and it really dew me to the book and made me want to check it out! The cover models are also the perfect Mackenzie and Slade! Big thank you to Rachel, Skyscape and Netgalley for an ARC of Risky Play!
