The relationship might be fake... but what they felt couldn’t be more real.

Abby

Tennis champion Ben Golden was known as the golden boy on the courts.

His popularity with the ladies is what sent him knocking on my door.

Ben needed a fake fiancé and I needed a date to my sister’s wedding... a wedding to my ex.

What could possibly go wrong?

One kiss is all it takes for me to realize I’m in way over my head.

Ben

Sports physiotherapist Abby Munrow was the drop shot I needed to convince my crazy ex that I had moved on.

Convincing her to play along would cost me.

I just had no idea the price would be my heart.

Once I had a taste of Abby, I knew it would never be enough.

It’s time to up the stakes... I’m tired of playing it safe.

Playing it Safe is a sweet sports romance with a guaranteed HEA by USA Today Bestselling author Monique McDonell and can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.

As I write this, I have a twinge in my neck from staying up until 5am to finish this wonderful novel! Every word is charming, every page a delight. McDonell creates characters that you make hungry for every next scene, every next snippet of dialogue. The lead characters are so darn likable in very different ways and the villainous characters are a lot of fun, too! This book is a captivating, enchanting read that will whisk you away - I highly recommend this warm, cozy, flirty and utterly enjoyable book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019
This was my first read by Author Monique McDonell, and I will be reading more of hers after this one! The characters were great. The storyline was fun and well written. Loved the flow! This was a clean and sweet HEA.

Abby's sister is marrying her ex and she needs a date for the wedding. Tennis player, Ben, needs help escaping a Russian tennis player. PERFECT! Fake Fiance to the rescue! ;)

I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it! I will be going back to read book one and can't wait to read Andy's story and then Nate's as well!!! 4.5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Abby May Be The Fake Fiance But Is It Getting Too Real
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018
Abby is on the tennis scene after catching her ex in a compromising position. Ben is in a tight fix. He thought that an innocent fling with a Russian tennis pro would be just that a fling or one off. Boy was he wrong and getting her to see it has proved to be difficult. He and Abby needed an out so when he came up with the fake fiancé angle it would solve both of their problems right? This is filled with so much drama and will have you wanted to wring the necks of a few characters!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019
Tennis champion Ben has a problem and he is hoping Physiotherapist Abby will help him out by pretending to be his fake fiance. Her sister is marrying her ex so having a fiance to go with her to the wedding is a big help. I really loved this story and all the characters. The writing is very well executed and the series has been exciting. I have loved every book I have read by Monique McDonell and they have all been re-read some many times. I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down until I read the last page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute rendition of the fake fiancé trope :)

I had a lot of fun with Ben(ji) and Abby (what's not to love about those two?), and especially their circle of friends and Abby's quirky family.

I especially liked how the close-knit world of the tennis circuit clashed with the close-knit world of small-town life, and how Abby and Ben figure out how to make it work.

I am definitely looking forward to reading more books in this series!
