Even one-night stands deserve a second chance in New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken’s novel of sporting desire.
Risky Play, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken is live!
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.
A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

Sports Romance – sign me up. RVD is the author – I am all over it!!!
I am a HUGE fan of RVD’s so it’s really rare that any of her books don’t wow me. But there is always that chance and sadly this was one. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still absolutely enjoyed it, just not as much as her other reads.
Mackenzie is an heiress to her father’s winery – a place she has worked her whole love and absolutely loves. It’s also the same place that her ex-fiancé works at. She hasn’t been able to move on with her life when she’s constantly seeing him so she knows she needs to take hold of her life and start fresh. Enter trip of a lifetime, but going solo.
MacKenzie meets Slade, however they don’t give each other their real names. But they also don’t plan on more than this trip either. Mack becomes a stronger person due to this trip and well Slade becomes a dick. Go figure.
RVD does write a very enticing story and I love that Mack never gives up on Slade. However, she’s not a pushover either. She truly puts him in his place but it also makes him more aware of how he’s acting towards others. You can easily sense the chemistry between them but Mack is very protected of her heart and is not ready for it be trampled upon again.
Overall, it’s an enjoyable read. There was one huge part that I could have done without, which for me is what brought it down from 5 stars to 4 stars (she’s a 30yr old virgin). I am over that and truly don’t buy it, but others still enjoy it. Outside of that, I though the characters were amazing and even the secondary characters were a perfect blend into story.
I am looing forward to more future stories within in this series.
