Synopsis:
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.
Rachel is by far one of my favorite authors; I couldn’t put this book down!
Like every other time, her characters are incredible, funny, sweet and crazy sexy.
Mackenzie was going through a lot, being left at the altar was not something she could just forget and get over, so obviously she escaped. A one person honeymoon sounded just perfect for her, so she jumped on a plane.
She was scared and heartbroken, but she found herself surprised by her unexpected sexy traveling companion. Both of them seemed to be escaping from something, so why don’t make something fun out of their situation?
Slade was not letting the chance of spending time with Mackenzie go, she had no clue who he was and that sounded perfect for him. A night of passion, no strings attached, was exactly what he needed to clear his head.
Unfortunately, life had other plans so before the night was over he made a choice that could change and ruin everything for them.
Every part of this story was amazing, Slade was behaving like a complete moron for a while, and I was really impressed with Kenzie, she stood up to him and pushed him out of his comfort zone. More than that she didn’t take his shit, she knew what she deserved and went for it, even though she was pretty sure she had fallen for him.
An amazing story!
I’m ready for my next Rachel fix!
