He must have her—all of her.
And she must write a story that will blow her career wide open.

Colton tries to keep his sadistic needs to himself but the young, beautiful journalist is far too tempting. He doesn't know she's collecting information to publish his dirty laundry. She doesn't know how dirty things are about to get.

Will they both get what they want? Or is it too much of a risky gamble?

Colton and Ally have some chemistry! I found myself listening to the story late into the night just so I could find out more. Story ends in a cliffhanger and I can't wait to listen to the next book. Rodney Falcon does a great job of distinguishing characters in the book and gives them dimension.

Risky Gamble is the first book in this series and we are introduced to Colton and Ally. They are drawn to each other and have this instant chemistry that is hot and sexy and makes for an interesting story. But this author throws us a twist that we have to wait until the next book to find out! The narrator did a great job conveying all of the characters!

A hot and sexy listen!

Ally is an intern journalist that is helping out at a friend's flower shop to make some extra money. She never anticipated that a chance run in with an Alpha Billionaire would open the door to an opportunity to take her career to the next level. The only problem is she's starting to catch feelings for her mark and now she's conflicted.

Colton Kaswell is a man with a specific sexual taste that needs to be kept a secret. He never engages in business or pleasure relationships without a contract in place, but he finds himself breaking all of his rules for Ally.

Vivian Ward and Rodney Falcon's collaboration brings this dark and sexy story to life giving each character their own unique voice. I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment in this series.

Now that he's met his match, can he make her stay?

I love finding new (to me) authors! Especially when I end up loving them! Vivian Ward is totally descriptive. The sex scenes between Colton and Vivian were hot. They have an electric chemistry that the listener can FEEL. They come from completely different walks of life, I think this is one of the main reasons that it's such a great story! Now, if you're looking at this cover you're thinking it's going to be an ultra-sexy listen and you'd b e correct!

Rodney does an amazing job at bringing the voices life and bringing their emotions out. As always, I do love dual narrations but Mr. Falcon did carry the weight of the story very well!

My main complaint is the shortness of the audio when it's a two-part story. This ends in a cliffhanger and I totally wish the next book was ready. So even though I'm gripping about the length, I have to know the ending! I feel like book 1 and book 2 could have very easily been combined to, more than likely, make a decent length audiobook. I feel petty but I don't usually spend credits on such short books and had I not received a credit for this book, I probably wouldn't have. And I can tell you, that would have been a shame!
