WOW- My favorite book of the year, and an amazingly great love story! This will be one that gets visited over and over and over again!

The story of MacKenzie and Slade was was epic. I never thought “I know what’s happening next!”

MacKenzie, a billionaire winery owners daughter, is so strong and refreshing heroine to read. She’s vulnerable in all the right Ways. She’s a true component t Slades more ego/eccentric super star athlete personality.

It’s an emotional journey, and the drama is fairly low- I was never worried, true love can withstand it. And that ENDING, yes yes yes!

Add this to your TBR, move it to the top, and jump off the cliff!

Heiress, Mackenzie is humiliated at the altar and decides to go on the honeymoon she planned - by herself. She wants to have a fling and forget what happened. Slade wants to forget too. His pro soccer career has taken a turn he's not too happy about but when he meets Mac things change. They share a very hot night and then Slade has to leave due to a family emergency. Since they've given each other false names, they have no idea how to get in contact with each other even if they wanted to do so. When Mac takes a job to keep herself busy, she ends up working for Slade. Things get complicated and feelings hurt before they realize what they mean to each other. Sweet sexy romance.

Fun read with a feisty female MC. Enjoyed the Slade, Jagger, and Matt (I can just hear Matt asking why he got the boring name, lol) conversations. The flow of the book make the reading fly by. While the book was very funny at times it also had some very moving moments too. The relationship was not easy and the ups and downs were realistic and not exaggerated. Can't wait for more of the Red Card series.

Being left at the alter. What could be worse? So to get away Mack decided to go ahead and go on the honeymoon she planned alone. The plane ride was the start of an adventurous ride. Slade a pro soccer player is trying to get away from the public from his ex hurting him. When he comes across Mack who doesn’t recognize him and intrigues him why not let sparks fly. But when tragedy hits and he just up and disappears. How can Mack pull herself together again and where does she go from here? Only to find her new job lands her right at his front door. But he is totally not who she thought he was and a huge jerk. But nothing is goin to stop her from doing her job even if he is the biggest jerk. Love this story and how Mack doesn’t give up on Slade but doesn’t just get walked all over either.

Absolutely loved this story. Two broken hearts who meet by chance. Both want to remain anonymous, until they meet again. A fantastic read about taking a chance, finding out who you are, betrayal, healing and love. Slade and Mack’s chemistry, scorching hot. Their banter will make you swoon as well as laugh. I highly recommend this must read!

Sooo this just may well be my new favourite Rachel Van Dyken book! I completely devoured it from start to finish. I loved the humour and the banter, the storyline was attention grabbing and I absolutely loved Slade’s transformation, he is a totally swoon worthy book boyfriend that’s for sure!

Looking forward to more of this series!

I tend to love Rachel Van Dyken's books, this one was no different. Risky Play is a fun and fast read where a young women is left at the alter. She goes on her honeymoon alone to find herself and be more independent but what she discovers is life changing.

Super cute and fun! You can never go wrong with a RVD book. If you want fun, sexy, cute, mafia, emotional, whatever your General mood, RVD has a book to fit.
Risky Play was unexpected and cute and a great read.

Being ditched at the alter and having her face plastered all over, social media, magazines, and the news might be the most humiliating thing that that could have happened to Socialite Mackenzie Dupont but in the end it was the best decision someone ever made for her. Especially when she encounters a sexy stranger who doesn’t recognize who she is and gives her the night of her life with promises of more. The only problem, when the night is over Mack is left alone with promises of more completely gone and feeling more than a bit pissed.
Slade Rodriguez is no stranger to public humiliation; being a famous soccer player whose fiancé ends up pregnant by your best friend tends to put one in the spotlight. So when he comes across a gorgeous woman who has no clue who he is, he takes full advantage of the situation. He’s going to spend this time away with this beautiful woman and then get back to his life. Receiving horrible news in the middle of the night sends Slade fleeing before the morning comes and leaves him blaming his obsession with this beautiful for not paying closer attention to what really matters.
Everyone loves a love-story where the main characters go through ups and downs and finally love conquers all; but every once in a while, you kind of want a story that just happens. The characters find each other in the strangest ways, they hit it off and you just go along for the ride where they fall in love. That’s what Risky Play was for me. Although Slade and Mack had their “issue” in the very beginning of the story the majority of the storyline was them learning each other, trusting each other and just simply falling for each other. This book was full of sexy scenes, and humor.
I’ve read quite a few Rachel Van Dyken books, as a matter of fact, she was one of the first authors I read when I ventured into ebooks and I’ve always enjoyed them. I can’t wait to read more books in this series I’m so curious as to what storylines will appear for Jagger and Matt, especially Matt.
This was a quick easy read; add it to your TBR for your winter-by-the-fire read.

I unexpectedly enjoyed this book! It was a bit over the top with the plot line, but hey, some romance novels have to be so we can escape reality! The sarcasm throughout the story was just the right touch and the chemistry between them was hot! The characters were well developed. A great start to a new series!

What a fun sports romance! Mack was left at the altar, and them meets Slade, an international soccer star, who is going through his own set of problems. From start to finish it was a great story with likable main characters and a good set of side characters that I hope we see in the future.

Risky Play shines in true Rachel Van Dyken style. Mackenzie and Slade had some great witty banter and awesome chemistry. I could really relate to Mackenzie"s desire for a true partner. My heart broke a bit for her. And even though Slade made a big mistake when he was really emotional. she allowed him to have another chance to prove himself. Makenzie and Slade were super hot together and I can't wait for RVD to work her magic with Matt and Jagger!

Absolutely the best book yet from RVD. I adored Mack and Slade and they are just everything!

Mackenzie is trying to get away. So what better way than to go on the honeymoon you were supposed to have, but was dumped at the altar and so now it's a honeymoon for one. Nevermind that her best friend, Alton, the one she thought she would spend forever with is still working for the family business. So how is she supposed to face him (oh yeah and his new girlfriend) every day at work? That's why she's on her way to Mexico to figure things out... that is until the plane almost goes down and she almost dies!!!

Slade is on his way to the US to play soccer. After being traded to Seattle, he just needs a little time to let everything settle before taking on this new role. He's fleeing he knows, but he just wants to get his mind ready and try to forget about the mess he's leaving behind. He never expected to meet the high strung but gorgeous woman on the plane, whom he gets to know real quick when the plane takes a dive and they all think they are going to die. Even better yet, she seems to be going to the same resort he is. This could end up being just the right thing to help him forget. And even better yet, she doesn't seem to have a clue who he is. SCORE.

Each gives each other fake names... and the two use each other to forget the problems plaguing them. Their connection is strong... until the unthinkable happens and Mack ends up leaving in the middle of the night. Leaving Mack even more confused than before.

Fast forward to back home and Mack has decided she isn't ready to face Alton and his new girlfriend at work, so she takes on a job as a Girl Friday/PA for a new soccer player in town. And boy do they both get the surprise of their lives when they figure out that neither of them was truthful with each other in Mexico and things are about to get real awkward around here.

This was an amazing Enemies to lovers story and had me laughing and crying ... I just couldn't put the book down and stayed up all night reading it.

This was such a great read! I can't wait for more in book two!

ARC kindly provided via NetGalley for the exchange of an honest review.

Let me just start by saying that I will read anything Rachel Van Dyken writes.

Mackenzie, left at the altar by a man she has been groomed all her life to marry decides to take her honeymoon trip to Mexico by herself. She meets "Hugo" on the plane, who is a huge soccer star (whose real name is Slade). They have an amazing day and night together and made a real connection. Or so she thought. Mackenzie wakes up alone and "Hugo" has left the hotel.

There is more to this story, which is both heartwarming, funny and entertaining. I loved the side characters of Matt and Jagger and the banter all three men had. Both Mackenzie and Slade have their own personal issues and I felt for them as they worked through them towards there HEA.

Very good book. Passion, friendship and steamy hot sex. Love is not always easy for Dallas and Paige.

Mack and Slade meet on a plane on their way to Puerto Vallarta. Both of them are running away from their exes. Mack has been stood at the altar by her long-term boyfriend. And Slade has just found out that his ex is pregnant with another man's baby.
They spend a weekend together. A perfect weekend together. But Slade is struck by tragedy and his reaction is really awful. He blames Mack.
What nobody expected was Mack becoming his personal assistant for some weeks. Their relationship is really bad at the beginning. But it is also true that they haven't been able to forget their weekend in Puerto Vallarta.
I liked this book. Although I had smacked Slade in some occasion, I laughed with him. Good story.

This is such a cute, funny and sweet story. I really enjoyed this book. I’ve been a fan of this author for a long time.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I really do enjoy Rachel Van Dyken books, and this one was no different. I was completely invested in where the main characters were going. Mack was kind, but strong and I appreciated that about her. Slade, once he deals with his crap, is caring and hilarious. I love the friendship between Matt and Slade, and the dynamics of Slade and Jagger during their community service. There is a lot going on and I love it all! I'm excited to see where she takes this series, and I hope we see more of Mack and Slade in the future books.

I loved the story and the characters. It was a really well written book, with strong, believable emotive characters.

However there were a lot of errors in it. If they weren’t there this is easily 4.5.

One example is that the world’s best striker who is Spanish but played in England calls his beloved game soccer. I call it soccer so I get why the author uses the term, most Americans call it that. But it’s total rubbish. It maybe that to endear himself to his new American fans he uses that term, fine explain that then. But acknowledge that with a few exceptions the world esp the fans say football.

I LOVEE Mack and Slade!!!

Risky Play by Rachel van Dyken is an amazing story with everything you need: romance, drama, one night stand, hot moments, funny moments. Rachel always writes the best stories like seriously i just finished one book of her and i want more!!

This is the story of 2 persons who find each other in the same place taking a break from difficult personal situations, they have a one night stand and they think okay that's it, but destiny has prepare something different for them.

Once you start reading it you cant stop, YES, that good is the book!! So i recommend you to read it as soon as is LIVE!! because you will fell in love with Mack and Slade but also with some of the second characters (I'm telling you, because I did).

So I'm telling you this is a super great read just like always happens with Rachel's books, thats why she is my favorite author every book is FANTASTIC!
