Game of Love
When a rising tennis star receives death threats it puts her on a collision course with an ex Navy SEAL turned bodyguard. As the threat escalates so does the sexual tension between Mason and Aurora. Maybe Aurora will end the season with more than a trophy or two. Maybe she can also be a winner in the game of love. If only she can stay alive...

Absolutely Loved This Story
Very interesting listen absolutely loved the characters in this book. I don't usually read or listen to this style of writing but I'm thrilled I took time for this book. I just couldn't stop listening or take a break from it until I got to the end. The narrator was also great I typically search out books with both male and female narrators for the voice differences but this was overall a great experience.

Action and romance!
I love to find new authors and when I was recommended this romantic suspense IK jumped on it and I am so glad I did. Mason has been hired as a bodyguard to protect Aurora, a famous tennis player. She is trying to come back after an almost career ending injury and now she is being stalked. But what the two do not count on, is the attraction they have for each other. Mason needs to keep his distance, and Aurora just wants to be closer. Will his feelings interfere with her protection? Will she continue to play? Mason's character is so interesting. His military background definitely plays a lot into his personality, but I do love the banter has has with Aurora. I adored Aurora. Her tenacity and ferocity is admirable. Samet writes with just enough suspense to give us a thrill, adds a little bit of romance and gets us ready for more of the Rider files. Matthew Keyes enhances this story with his fantastic narration. I really enjoyed his voices and ability to transition between characters. It's a busy book and he keeps it all together, with just the right amount of emotion and action in his voice to give us the perfect settings. It's a great performance.

Great story
I really enjoyed this story but I didn’t enjoy the narrator very much. He did a decent job but female voices weren’t distinct to male voices in the story and I didn’t enjoy his voice. I liked that the story had suspense but still a strong love story. I also liked that there weren’t any detailed love scenes. I look forward to the rest of the series.
