Risky Game by Stacey Lynn

 


 Synopsis:

 
Romance between them is strictly off-limits, but forbidden attraction has never felt so irresistible…I’m playing a risky game…

I’m the brand new coach of the current Super Bowl Champions. If that isn’t hard enough, I’m also one of the youngest coaches in the league.

Coupled with a recently finalized divorce and the goal to take the team and the city of Nashville's fans by storm, my ex throws me for a loop when she says she’s sending our daughter to me so she can take an extended three-month vacation.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my little girl more than anything but suddenly becoming a full-time single dad and the Steele’s new coach rocks the turf beneath my feet. I need some help and I need it fast.

Enter Ruby Moore.

The answer to my prayers. She’s looking for a new start, is great with kids and is the perfect set of eyes to watch my daughter when I’m not around.

The problem? I think she is perfect for me too.

The other problem? She’s not only my nanny, but she’s also the younger sister of a guy I’m tasked with leading. She’s way too young and sweet for me and the way she loves Amelia makes my heart melt. I don’t expect her perfume to remind me of lazy beach days and for her smiles to become a craving I can’t live without. But I can’t stop thinking about her. Fleeting glances turn into deeper conversations and even more carnal nights.

Soon, she’s a forbidden addiction I can’t quit.

I know I'm playing a Risky Game, but can I keep the woman I've fallen in love with, while still maintaining the respect of the team I’m trying to lead to another Championship?

 

Review:

 

 
Risky Game was a good, steamy read where the age gap is the main trope.
This is the fourth book in the Nashville Steel series but it could be read as a standalone.

As the new coach of the Nashville Steel, Logan Caldwell has to focus on his job to earn the respect of his team and of the entire league, so when his ex wife leave him to take care of his daughter for a few months he is desperate to find a nanny right away. Ruby Moore lives at his brother's house while she licks her wounds and tries to start again, so when his brother's coach offers her to become his daughther's nanny for a crazy high pay she can't refuse. Logan and Ruby have a strong attraction and an outstanding chemistry that could cause them a lot of trouble. Will they refrain to act on their desires, or will they indulge in the pleasure putting at risk their new daily routine?

I've enjoyed the progression of Ruby and Logan relationship. They started as strictly sex partners, but that line easily blurred because they let their guard down, and begin to care for each other, and trust each so much they share their secrets. I liked how they discover their more adventurous side in bed together. They are playful and hot, they have a lot of complicity and affection.

I became a huge fan of Stacey Lynn because her writing is filled with emotions and spiciness, her characters are never dull, and her storylines are compelling and organically developped.

I cannot wait for next book.
