She's paid to keep my secrets...

For attorney Hindley Hagen, life is all about staying one step ahead of the game. Avoiding surprises and keeping people at a distance is the only way she can protect herself from the painful scars of her past.

As legal counsel and sports agent to some of the world’s top athletes, Hindley’s always ready for a challenge. But when her new client struts in, his familiar eyes bore through her facade and threaten her well-planned life. Keeping all his secrets is now her new profession, but if he discovers hers, she might lose everything.

Pro extreme sports athlete Rory Gregor knows what it’s like to be on top. But after two years of bad decisions and one-night-stands, he’s forced to make a comeback he never anticipated. His team may think a new sports agent will rebuild his career, but what if she costs him his heart in the process?

Just when Rory is poised for a comeback, secrets from his past threaten to ruin his chance for gold and a new love. In the world of extreme sports, sometimes risking it all is the only way to win.

A wounded woman.

A defeated athlete.

Can two broken people make each other whole?

Extreme Risk is not a stand-alone book. Find out the dramatic conclusion to Rory and Hindley’s story in Extreme Devotion (X-Treme Love Series, Book 2), available now.

This is a story about two people that met under wierd circumstances.,weird part being Hindley Hagen getting drunk and passing out. Hindley is a successful attorney with a secret past.Rory is a Pro skater that has lost his sponsers and has a very rocky past involving a family member. She never expected Skater Boy to capture her heart and risk her secrets that she has protected for so long
Rory was determined to leave his past behind and make a comeback, the last thing he expected was Drunk Girl to come into his life.
They are two broken souls that are meant to be together. They are haunted by their past that needs to be fixed.
Kay Manis is a great story teller and did a wonderful job at writing Skater Boy. I can't wait to read the next book.Thank you Kay for keeping us entertained.

This book left me feeling happy. It was a refreshing read. There was humor and I found myself smiling a lot. It is told in dual POV's. We get to see them both "talking to themselves" at times. Which I think adds to the story.

Rory was a Funny, Sexy, Hot, Alpha male. A little bit of Dom even though he says he isn't. Cocky.

Hindley was an independent, hard worker. Classy. With a list of insecurities.

These two lonely souls had no idea that the universe was about to throw them together......

After a chance, unexpected meeting. These two embark on a friendship......These two try to avoid their feelings and find that it is harder than it appears. They both have to work through issues from their pasts that they keep "secret". Hindley finds that allowing Rory in - she is able to overcome some things and yet, she still holds back. And Rory, is afraid that once his secret is revealed, Hindley will not longer look at him the same.

They both feel as if they are not good enough for each other. Skateboarder - Lawyer.... two different worlds. But their chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS! HOT! Can these two realize that their worlds are not that different and that they can make it work?

We are left with a sudden cliffhanger - like hitting a wall.....luckily book two is available now also.

Go one click and find out just how Rory and Hindley fall - and fall fast..... and meet their crazy best friends along the way.

Liked the book....disliked the cliff hanger

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2014

I liked this book but I don't understand why all the books out there now seem to want to end in cliff hangers. The characters in this book have a lot of promise. They are complicated and I feel like the next book will reveal why they are. I kept getting frustrated with Rory because even though he wants to change and is really into Hindley, he lets jealousy and anger keep him from being who he obviously wants to be. Hindley has apparently been hurt very badly in the past and has hid a lot from those who love her. I give this book 3 stars because I think Rory' s character needed more work. He has so much yet seems ungrateful to me.

Loved this book. The old say "You can't judge a book by it's cover" is so right for this book. Sometimes I can pick a book only by the cover and this book I wasn't to sure. Thank goodness another author or blogger....can't remember, recommended this book and said not to look at the cover. This was a great book. It touches all kinds of everyday things that happen to people. People with low self esteem, not being able to read or write. Dealing with tragedy that happens are you learn to shut it down. Rory and Hindley's story is WONDERFUL! I didn't think I would like a book about a skateboarder but it was a really good book! I read it so fast because I couldn't wait to see what happened. Can't wait to get the next book!!!
Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!!
Happy reading!!!

Great story but does have cliffhanger

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2015

This surprisingly was a great read. I was able to get it for free on Amazon. It does end in a cliffhanger but the second book is out already so no big deal.
The premise for the book is a little misleading as the Hinley and Rory meet before she takes him on as her client.
But overall I loved the interaction between the two of them. Can't wait to read the next book

OMG! I loved this book so much!

I'm from the country, so skateboarding isn't something I'm familiar with. I wasn't sure what to expect when I downloaded this bad boy, but let me tell you what, I wasn't disappointed. I was freaking thrilled. Kay's writing is vivid. She handles the plot and backstory of the characters flawlessly. I loved the plot and fell in love with one former bad boy, Rory Gregor.

When the book ended, I was like, OMG! I had to download book 2 and am reading it now! Love Skater Boy!

Raunchy lifestyle meets sophisticated tweb can they make it work?

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2015

Firstly, There is so much foul language in this book it almost made me delete it. Once I got it in my mind to really read for the sake of reading, I enjoyed the storylines. It is a little complexed,because you have a young woman with sexual issues, with a body complex issues. Meet a young man with morals on one night at least, keeping her from being raped. But he has the moral of and alley-cat, past history trying to make a comeback. I like the support characters for both, because even the evil stepsister character was written in a believable way. For the most part Rory, seemed to have real feelings for Hindley although she is a little to educated and insecure for his type of lifestyle. If this book was rewritten in a G rated version, it would be off the chain good.
Cheat sheet 2nd book....When she is determined to teach him how to read, and his honesty is just charming... Really nice touch.

This type of book isn't normally my thing but I got hooked on the whole skater boy/ lawyer read.

The differences between money/education vs confidence/skill are the many areas in which this book covers but the hot skater boy Rory will prove you all wrong.
