RISKY PLAY
Even one-night stands deserve a second chance in New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s novel of sporting desire.
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.

"Mack, any girl that saves herself for the man she's going to marry and then gives it away the way you did is so blindly trusting of other humans. It says so much about you, about your character. And the guy who took it without looking back? Well, let's just say that guy is just as much of an asshole as the one who let you get away." -Slade

Can I just say what a bad-ass RVD is! Not only does she write various romance kick-ass books but also could probably KICK your ass!! Absolutely fell IN LOVE with this book. It is different in the only way RVD can do, and I couldn't get enough, so much that I am ordering a paperback ASAP!
When Mackenzie was left at the alter, just LEFT! She turns 6 months into moping and missing not just her ex-fiancee but her best friend. Because Alton has been part of her life since she can remember herself. Worst part, she still has to see him on a daily base because, yes THEY WORK TOGETHER at her family's Wine Company. Que Mexico Honeymoon, party of one!
The plane ride turned out to be a lot more successful then her almost marriage. She meets sexy Slade, what does a girl do...fake her name and information JUST IN CASE of course! Meeting might have been a chance or fate, but what comes next is short of magical. Mackenzie lets herself forget, let go and have the time of her life with a stranger that is more tentative to her than her life long ex-fiance. And he protects her in every way possible! GAH!
Slade hoped on a plane to escape, to forget and to...he doesn't know until he meets Mackenzie that he didn't know was THE MACKENZIE. Luckily he was smart enough to also fake his name and information. He is sex in a cup, I mean being a professional soccer player...well that's all I need to say about that. Slade is dangerously SWOON-y if that's a word, will make your heart skip a beat swoon worthy! There, much better!!
Would you think that the man you faked-information with but spend the time of your life with would show up in your life again? No way, YES WAY for Mackenzie. That had to be a favorite scene *giggles*
The chemistry between these two on and off is magical, beautiful and makes your heart beat a little faster. I was a little unsure about certain scenes, made me angry enough to pause but mainly i had so much fun reading this. Page turner for sure! Fantastic RVD, I think this is by far my favorite book of yours!
Rating this baby a 5 PLUS PLUS & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Made it on my TOP 2019 MUST READ list!
