Get ready for a high-stakes game. The players include billionaires, royals, spies, athletes, and criminals. Money, love, and life are on the line. And the winner is …
Blake
I’m laser-focused on my goal. No one will stop me this time.
At least that’s what I thought before Brianna showed up.
Her body is toned to perfection. Her beauty is effervescent. Her allure is undeniable.
I’ll never forget the glorious night we spent together two years ago. Afterward, we agreed to never cross that line again. It would make our lives too complicated.
But now that she’s here, I’m consumed with the need to pull her against me and recreate those passionate, steamy nights. She’s a distraction I don’t need, but I crave her. If I’m not careful, she’s going to ruin everything.
Briana
When I trained to spy for my country, I never dreamed my first real mission would target the hot, handsome man who cherished my body for a blissful night.
I knew we only had the one time. But even if I’d dreamed of a repeat, that’s impossible now. Blake is suspected of an international crime, so he’s completely off limits to a titled billionaire like me.
The problem?
My body didn’t get the message. When we’re near each other, a magnetic pull draws me to him, and an almost uncontrollable desire pulses through me.
I’m screwed.
Welcome to the world of Royal Spies where intrigue and unexpected turns lead to happily-ever-afters.

Blake needs to win the tournament and can’t afford to be distracted by anyone or anything and that includes Briana. He is already dealing with the news that he must participate in the doubles competition when he is more comfortable with the single so between the stress he is under and the feelings he has for Briana nothing seems to be going as planned.
Suspense, romance and an intriguing storyline all combine as Blake and Briana take us on quite the journey. James Joseph does a wonderful job portraying what Blake is going through emotionally and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker brings out the feisty and strong sides of Briana.
Blake and Briana!

I’ve never read a sports romance that featured tennis before so this was a nice, fun change. The fact that the story had a mix of romance, sports (tennis), billionaires, royalty, and spies made for an interesting read!
Risky Match is book #1 in the Royal Spies series. Blake is a star tennis player waiting for his big moment at Wimbledon. Briana is a princess, but also a tennis player when not attending to her royal duties.
Our two MCs originally met 2 years previously where they had a one-night stand. Afterwards, they both went their separate ways, never intending to see each other again. Two years later and they are pushed together to play Doubles at Wimbledon. To make matters even more complicated, Bri is tasked to spy for her country. Her next target, Blake of course 🤭 as he is a suspect of an international crime. In order to do her job, she has to get super close to Blake. Trying to resist Blake may be harder than Briana thought!
This was such a fun and quick read. Blake and Briana had great chemistry. Their connection was instant, though I enjoyed how the romance still had build up. I also enjoyed the suspenseful, ‘spy-filled’ moments throughout the book. My favourite part of the book was definitely Bri and Blake and how well they supported each other. Overall, a well thought out and executed book.
Duet narration provided by Stephanie Nemeth-Parker and James Joseph, both did amazing work. They worked very well together, and their voice blended so well together. Joseph was excellent with capturing the grumpiness but still endearing nature of Blake. Whilst Nemeth-Parker was just wonderful with her portrayal of the strong but sweet personality that Briana had. I had such a great listening experience!
4.5 Stars!

I, honestly, could have listened to these two narrators talk for hours longer than this book was. Their accents are so beautiful and made listening to this for long stretches a breeze.they both handled the dual-style narration beautifully. I was on a road trip and this audio made it fly by as I was completely lost in the story.
Bonuses:
I really enjoyed getting to check in with characters from a previous series.
I love a character that’s not afraid to be vulnerable and both Briana and Blake have these very real, relatable moments.
Great series starter

Risky Match is the first book in the Royal Spies series. This book has a lot of things happening all at once. This is a fast paced book. Blake is back for is chance to finally win Wimbledon. He plans to play singles so that he can win or lose just relying on his skills alone. However he is told he has to play mixed doubles or he will lose one of his major sponsors. Briana is a professional tennis player and also a Princess. She also is part of an undercover royal spy agency. She has been training for a solo mission for years. Her mission is to investigate antiquity smugglers that might be tied to tennis players. She has been chosen to play as Blake’s mixed doubles partner. This is one of the most interesting books. I loved the sports, spies, and mystery all wrapped up in one. I really loved this book!
Stephanie Nemeth-Parker and James Joseph did a phenomenal job narrating this book.
