About this listen
From Vivian Ward comes a story of pleasure, lies, lust, and love.
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?

Story
Twenty years ago in the dead of night, four seemingly random individuals pulled the ultimate heist and almost walked away with half a million dollars. But by daybreak, their plan had been shot to hell. One of them was in the hospital. One was in jail. One was dead. And one got away with it. Arden Maxwell, the daughter of the man who disappeared all those years ago - presumably with the money, after murdering his accomplice - has never reconciled with her father's abandonment of her and her sister.

I’m thinking it’s finally got to be my turn. I've got no man and no money. Nothing but a personality and a smile. But maybe that's enough this time. The richest guy in New York is looking for a secretary, and lucky for me, he’s young and as hot as sin. Too bad he’s an alpha asshole rich boy who’s stuck on himself. Nothing I do is right. Throw in a crazy ex and a father that can’t stand anything that breathes in his personal space, and I. Am. Out. He can find someone else to take notes and get his coffee. I’m fine being broke and single. I’ve gotten good at it.

How hard can being a live-in nanny for a little five-year-old girl be? Especially when it’s double the salary and comes with a sexy, single dad. But the moment I step inside Graham Hayes' multimillion-dollar estate and meet the grumpy billionaire, I know I’m in way over my head. It’s not just that he’s quite possibly the most attractive man I’ve ever seen. It’s the way he stares at me like it takes everything he has to keep from devouring me.

Risky Business
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.

A hot and sexy listen!
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!

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

New author
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!

Book 1 in series. cliffhanger alert
This was my first book by Vivian Ward and I enjoyed her writing style. It was a very descriptive style of writing and the sex scenes were hot. The two main characters have great chemistry despite them having completely different backgrounds.
This is a two-part book that does end in a cliffhanger so be aware if you are reading this that it is a cliffhanger and be prepared to buy a second book. I know some people get annoyed if they don't know that going in so I like to make that known in my reviews. It doesn't bug me and I actually like that in some of my stories as it gives it more drama :)
The narration was well done and you could tell the difference between the different characters. His narration speed was also spot on and I found myself hooked on the story thanks to his narration just as much as the storyline itself.

A great start to an intense relationship
Colton is a billionaire and wanted by every single woman. He is sadistic and it will take a very strong girl to satisfy his needs. In walks Ally, and sparks start to fly. I liked the slow build up to their relationship. It was a refreshing change from those who fall fast and so intensely. Ally is a determined girl, looking to get her dream job. She will stop at nothing for a story. Colton will stop at nothing to have her. I enjoyed the intense chemistry these two shared. There are some steamy scene. The cliffhanger will have you reaching for the next book immediately.
Rodney Falcon did a great job narrating this story. He has an easy to listen to voice. Mr. Falcon was able to narrate the many emotions and attitudes of the characters well. I enjoyed the narration and look forward to more.

Gripping & Intense
This book was an amazing read. I was captivated from the very beginning and it exceeded all my expectations. It is very well written with a nice storyline and plot. The characters of Colton and Ally, have a chemistry and a connection that keep you turning the pages. I can't wait for the next book, but readers beware it does end in a cliffhanger.
Rodney Falcon's narration was superb!! Any book narrated by him will be an automatic download for me!!!!

intense
So who is the Gorgeously, well dressed, handsome mystery man , that just walked into the floral shop?. Why was he interested in Ally? Ally reminds Colton of his fiance that passed away. He is so intrigued by her. He needs her. He wants her. Ally is an intern at a newspaper. She decides to know him better, get a job at his underground sex club, research and write an article for the newspaper. But at what cost? Vivian Ward wrote a story of two complex intense characters that are sexually attracted to each other. Can't wait for book 2. Rodney Falcon's narration is flawless and
brings the story to life! I was gifted the audio and offered my honest review.
