***5 ‘#TeamMackenzie’ Stars***
This one was a total emotional roller coaster of a ride, an amazing one, but still, the whiplash you get from this one is real. These characters, ALL of the characters, pulled everything out of me. One second I wanna gut someone with a spoon, the next I’m laughing out loud (no, seriously Out. Loud) and the next I wanna hug someone...and let’s not forget the panty melting. This one pushed all the right buttons and had me devouring every word and wanting more.
Slade. This man. I loved and adored him, I did, but I also wanted to gag him and duct tape him to a chair ~ and not for fun, smexy times ~ because he is...intense...a little volatile...I mean when this man goes big, he goes BIG. But for all the times I wanted to Gibbs smack him, there were just as many where I swooned and wanted to hug him. Mackenzie. This woman is pretty damn amazing, this isn’t to say I didn’t have my moments with her, but the strength she has to still see the good in things and hope for more was something I admired. Sassy, real and with a golden heart, she was kind of everything. (Also, she loves wine and anyone who LOVES wines is pretty awesome in my book #winoshavetosticktogether)
From the moment Slade and Mackenzie collide sparks fly. Lots and lots of sparks of all kinds: sparkly ones, nuclear ones and everything in between. No doubt starting off anything with a lie, even a white one, isn’t a good thing, but man things definitely go sideways for awhile. But even with everything in a weirdly controlled chaos, these two simply worked for me. They had that thing going on where I knew if they’d just let go (well, if ONE of them would let go...can you guess who??) then they’d be amazing together and though it was a struggle and numerous roadblocks were in their way, I loved where they were at in the end.
I’ve only read a small percentage of the books RVD has published and I’ve enjoyed them all, but this one is my favorite so far. She definitely took me on a ride as Slade and Mack worked through their issues and I loved seeing them evolve, even if it was painful at times. And then there is the supporting cast of characters. You all know how much I love well written characters and there are a couple of great ones in this baby. Matt, Jagger and Alfie were so much fun, even when I wanted to Gibbs smack one of them (many times). They definitely made this one a fun read and I cannot wait to get my hands on their books!

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.
