Rachel Van Dyken | Author-Reader Match

I write contemporary romance and my new book is Risky Play, a sports romance out March 19th.

I love writing, in fact I get anxiety when I don’t write! I write in multiple genres, have listed on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists. I’m addicted to Swedish fish, and I think that life would be more interesting if we all had our own soundtracks!

I love making readers cry, in fact, I collect their tears.

I’m often found with my Kindle app open at three am with drool running down my face.

I will lie and say I'm going to the bathroom, but be reading instead.

If you don’t like the smell of real books, we can’t get together.

I believe historical romance is the only way to truly cleanse your soul.

Mafia romance is my drug of choice.

IT SHOULD ALWAYS INVOLVE WINE.

Murder. You should want to murder me.

Moments of sheer insanity as you laugh out loud on one page and then get choked up on the next page.

Girly, flirty stomach tumbles that make you breathe a bit faster.

If you don’t feel crazy then I'm not doing my job.

You should expect to think about the book at all hours of the day and dream about it and then get mad when it’s finished.

I fully expect you to use said book or Kindle as a weapon when you get to a part you don’t like.

If I didn’t make you feel something, it’s probably not meant to be.

RISKY PLAY by Rachel Van Dyken

Red Card #1 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.
