Romance Contemporary

Brody Janik is your tropical cocky football player. He had everything going for him and now is getting ready to sign an extension with his super bowl team. Only one problem is getting in his way -- he is a borderline diabetic. Brody knows that if the team finds out he probably will not get the extension.

Shannon Evert is trying to finish her PhD. Shannon works several jobs, just to pay for her college degree. Shannon takes a job with the Blaze, which just happens to be the team that Brody plays for. Her job will also be to get inside information for a blogger trying to get information on the team.

Shannon's PhD is in nutrition. After sneaking into the locker room of the Blaze, she finds out that Brody may be a diabetic. Shannon is not happy trying to get info on the team especially after she finds out this info. Shannon confronts Brody and agrees to help him keep this secret and to help him keep his sugar problem under control.

The more time that the two spend together, they realize that they have an attraction to each other. Shannon makes his meals and snacks to that he gets just the right amount of sugar a day. However, the blogger gets a hold of this info and now they are both playing a risking game.

Brody offers Shannon a challenge. Play his girlfriend keep his secret and he won't let on to anyone that she was for a short time helping the secret blogger. Meanwhile, the Blaze and several other teams are trying very hard to find out who the blogger is. Brody has just started to trust Shannon, when someone lets it leak out that she is working for the blogger.

Shannon is very upset when this is reveled even though she is not the blogger. Brody is even more upset because he trusted her with his secret and now it is out. So the big question is who really is the blogger is and now this has become a RISKY GAME for all.

I really like reading RISKY GAME. Tracy Solheim combined football along with love. Football is one of my favorite sports to watch and I have often wondering how players meet their mate. Tracy takes you inside the game and everything around it, from coaches to trainers and the friendship between the players.

SUMMARY

In the next sizzling sports romance from the author of Foolish Games, Brody is at the top of his game… until Shannon changes the rules. Baltimore Blaze tight end Brody Janik is a natural-born football star. At twenty-seven, his record-breaking athletic performance and his cover-boy good looks have turned him into a household name. But Brody’s hiding a major secret behind his charming public persona: a health condition that may cut his career short. PhD candidate Shannon β€œShay” Everett works multiple jobs to put herself through schoolβ€”including an unpaid internship with the Blaze training department. Strapped for cash, Shay answers the call of an NFL gossip blogger to uncover personal details about the Blaze players. Sneaking into the locker room one night, she gets entangled in Brody’s secret…and swept up by his charm. Brody isn’t sure what to make of the gawky girl with the whiskey eyes, especially when he discovers she was snooping. His first instinct is to turn her in as a snitch, but she could destroy him by sharing his secret. Instead, he decides to keep her close…perhaps closer than either of them originally intended…
