Trick Play by Max Monroe is the third book in their Mavericks Tackle Love series and the first I have read by this writing duo. This can definitely be read as a standalone, however, I am very excited to go back and read the previous books in this series as I loved all the characters.
Cam Mitchell’s life could not be more perfect. He plays for the New York Mavericks and he loves his job and teammates. When they are out celebrating the upcoming wedding of one of his closest friends, the last thing he expects is to be arrested. Especially for coming to the rescue of one of the strippers. But that is exactly what happens.
Trixie is more than a stripper. A lot more, but a girl has to keep her secrets. She could have handled herself just fine, but the man who stands up to protect her sure is hot, sexy and unforgettable. But she has plans and they do not include the sexy Cam Mitchell. So why can’t she stop thinking about him?
Cam is so taken by Trixie and he can’t seem to get her out of his mind. He wants to get to know her, but she pushes him away at every turn. But a man like Cam is not so easily put off. Now he is finding himself falling for Trixie, but does he truly know who she is?
I loved Tricked Play by Max Monroe. I could not stop reading. I laughed, I swooned and I hurt, but overall, I loved the characters, all of them, and their journey! The story was funny and sweet with just a touch of angst.

NO SPOILERS!
Trick Play was PHENOMENAL and has been my favorite standalone in the Mavericks Tackle Love series so far! It was a sexy, funny, surprising, and entertaining standalone romantic comedy, and I absolutely loved it! Max Monroe is a genius writing duo, and they brought a 110% with Cam and Trixie’s story. They completely outdid themselves with Trick Play, and I can’t wait to devour more from them!
The storyline was amazing and took me by surprise. It wasn’t exactly what I was first expecting since I didn’t read the full synopsis before diving in, but it was so much better than I imagined. I was in love with the story and characters from beginning to end, and it only got better as the book progressed. There were some aspects that I didn’t like as much as others, but I still loved Trick Play with all of my heart, and I was freaking ecstatic with the conclusion. Max Monroe seems to get better and better with every book they release, and I can’t wait to read the final standalone in the Mavericks Tackle Love series, 4th & Girl!
The characters were more than I hoped for, and I absolutely loved them. Cameron (Cam) Mitchell and Trixie have been two of my favorite characters from Max Monroe so far, and I fell head over heels in love with them and their story. I loved their personalities and smoking hot chemistry together, and how their relationship progressed throughout. I loved reading the book from both Cam and Trixie’s point of view, and all of their banter and interactions with each other. It was a true pleasure watching Cam and Trixie’s journey unfold, and although it wasn’t easy and there were definitely rough patches along the way, I wouldn’t have changed any of it for the world. Everything worked out how it was supposed to, and I was more than happy with the conclusion to Cam and Trixie’s story. Trick Play also had an amazing cast of supporting characters, specifically Cam’s teammates and Trixie’s family. They were an excellent and entertaining addition to the story, and I loved them so much.
Trick Play was another sexy, hilarious, addicting, and entertaining standalone romantic comedy from Max Monroe, and I would HIGHLY recommend it and the rest of their books! A Max Monroe novel is truly one of a kind, and it’s sure to bring the heat, humor, and swoon-worthy romance every single time. These two sweet and talented ladies did an outstanding job with Trick Play, and I was more than pleased with the outcome to Cam and Trixie’s story. The entire Mavericks Tackle Love series has been exceptional so far, and I’m so excited to read the final standalone, 4th & Girl!
“If anything in my life is worth fighting for, it’s her.”
If you are a HUGE FAN of the ‘Mavericks Tackle Love’ series by the wonderful ladies of Max Monroe, than you gotta know how absolutely ECSTATIC I was to have my hands on Cam Mitchell’s story! I mean, it’s Cam FREAKING Michell, people! I’m swooning all over the damn place here! Trick Play had all of the ingredients that make up a fantastic Romantic Comedy! It also had Max Monroe’s stamp ALL OVER IT! Sexy, hilarious, witty, emotional, and completely unforgettable, my heart definitely went through the ringer with this one. It was a fast-paced, absolutely PAGE-TURNER of a romantic read and I NEVER wanted it to end.
Cam and ‘Trixie’ were freaking ADORABLE together. Cam is EVERYTHING you thought he would be and more! When he sets his heart on something, it will take God himself, to pull his focus. And Trixie? Well, there is so much more to that woman, you don’t even know.

A sexy, witty sports romance with enough comic relief to keep you on your toes…you couldn’t ask for anything better!
Max Monroe scores, again, with Trick Play. The NY Mavericks story continues with tight end Cam Mitchell, playboy extraordinaire. Cam realizes his days of sleeping around are over when meeting a stripper named “Trixie”. Cam doesn’t know that there is more to her story than stripping. Twists and turns from the beginning. A hot romance with bad timing. Throw in a funny group of family members. A crazy dog. All of this makes Trick Play another must read by the duo Max Monroe.
Score! Another fabulous book about a Maverick football player. This time we get Cam, sigh… He is sooo swoon worthy! He basically could do no wrong in my book. Cam is enjoying a night out for his teammate, Quinn’s bachelor party and sees a dancer that he just can’t look away from. There is just something different about this one and he is on a mission to talk to her. Trixie is a new-ish dancer and she is drawn to Cam right away but knows she needs to stay away from him. She has secrets that she is keeping and can’t tell Cam about. Cam finally gets her real name out of her, Lana, and he thinks if he doesn’t push her too hard or fast that eventually she will trust him enough with what she is holding back. But of course there are reasons to her keeping her secrets and eventually they blow up and she has to break up with Cam. These two can’t stay away from each other even though it takes longer for reality to set in for them. Cam gives her space and it is up to Lana to bridge the divide she created.
I loved this book from the beginning! It is becoming difficult to pick my favorite Maverick, each book I read I fall in love all over again. It was great seeing Quinn, Sean, Six and Teeny and meeting the new guy Leo. Cam and Lana were perfect for each other and I am sooo happy they were able to get past the secrets and be together.
4.5 Stars for Trick Play which is book 3 in the Mavericks Series and this time the story is all about Tight End Cam Mitchell and an exotic dancer known only as Trixie……..
Cam is in charge of best friend Quinn’s bachelor party and you can’t have a bachelor party without Lapdances but Cam knows Quinn’s soon to be wife would hate the thought of her soon to be husband receiving one so he takes one for the team and ends up with Trixie on his lap and that’s where this story gets interesting. There is an instant attraction between these two but Trixie has a secret and she is not prepared to even give up her real name but a night in jail for Cam has him finding out Trixie or should I say Lana is a undercover cop and this is when the fun and games start……
Trick Play is a funny adorable read that will have you laughing out loud and leave you smiling like a Cheshire Cat, the characters are strong and I love how we get to hear what’s happening in the life’s of the guys we meat in previous books without them taking over the story. Once again the queens of romantic comedy have given us another great read.
Football royalty meets sexy stripper girl…not quite a match made in heaven.
Cam is in attendance at his friend’s bachelor party at a well known strip club. But the usual menu seems bland. But a glimpse of the new girl has his mouth watering for a taste of the top shelf stuff. He’s captivated and goes beyond the norm for a few minutes of her time. But Trixie isn’t giving in, more like shutting down. But even she knows there’s undeniable chemistry.
Cam persist and Trixie evades. It’s difficult to woo a girl when you don’t even know her name.
Trixie knows eliminating Cam from her life is a necessity but his eyes, his scent, his everything has her taking chances.
Cam is a patient man. He wants to pursue the possibilities with Trixie but she’s got secrets and she’s running from something. She knows her past and present can never exist together.
This couple faced obstacles, often times of Trixie’s own making. Their desires and fears crossed paths. The care Cam took in pursuing Trixie was fairytale worthy. And our Princess made mistakes along the journey. Simple, silly and game changing mistakes.
These two simply snagged my heart and hope. Life got in their way but love seemed to creep in to save the day.
This third book in the series gives us another incredible heroine and another courageous hero going after the love of his life, no matter the obstacles in his path.
Yay Cam and Lana! Another fun one and these two are so adorable together.
“Sometimes brief encounters are meant to have the biggest impact.”
Cam met Lana while she was shaking what her momma gave her. It didn’t end very well but she made a huge impact on him. Lana has reasons why she has to keep Cam at arms length but boy is he persistent. Seriously, I can’t even with Cam. His favorite movie is Notting Hill and he quotes from it! See, can’t even. I love Lana’s family, they are so entertaining. The epilogue with them I’m it was what my mom likes to say “a hoot”. I couldn’t stop giggling. I just love reading MM books, it always leaves me with a smile on my face.
OUTSTANDING, WITTY, SEXY with a little bit of suspense thrown in. Authors Max Monroe have outdone themselves with Trick Play!
Being a Maverick Tight End Cam Mitchell has it all or does he? When he see’s the girl that will change him forever Trixie, wait no Lana. This book will make you snort-laugh and feel, to me that’s always important in a book. Way to go #AwesomeAuthors.
Not ready to settle down, not ready to give up his ways so Cam thinks until he meets a Raven hair beauty who tries to keep him away from her. Lana/ Trixie has no time for love, no time for a relationship, all she wants is to complete this job, until she meets sensitive but persistent Cam. I laughed so hard during this book, the banter back and forth was amazing. Once I started this book I could not put it down. Another amazing book in this series! A must read forsure
5 star review Trick Play (Mavericks #3) by Max Monroe
From the first to the last chapter I was invested in Cam and “Trixie” aka Lana’s story
Cam Mitchell is the tight end for the New York Mavericks ( I have no idea what that means but it sounds really good) and Trixie/Lana is a stripper he meets on Quinn’s bucks night.
Not all is as it seems, there is more at play than Cam meeting a stripper and Cam is determined to find out what Lana is hiding. She is on a mission and is focused on achieving it, she has no time for the complications her feelings for Cam create.
Cam is one of those characters that draws you in and I loved him. To be honest, he might well now be my favourite which is saying a lot. He is cocky, arrogant but loveable all at the same time. His love and commitment to the players and his team shines through and his dog OMG. All all I can say is you need to read this book.
Full of humour, laugh out loud, (who am I kidding – snort worthy moments) and incredibly sexy this book will draw you in and you won’t want to put it down. Having said that, Trick Play is slightly darker, deeper and more emotional than the previous 2 books in the series in my opinion. I finished it in almost one go; I just kept saying, one more chapter until sadly it ended.
I loved catching up with the “Maverick” family and cannot wait for more from Max & Monroe. Will Cam and Lana get their happily ever after or will circumstances pull them apart? Once click and find out.
4.9 Stars
Finally book #3! Cam’s story.
He’s the tight end for the New York Mavericks and best buddies with Quinn and Sean. That’s why we find ourselves in a strip club on the night of Quinn’s bachelor party.
And poor Cam doesn’t want Quinn’s soon-to-be-wife to get jealous – that’s why he sacrifices himself to receive ALL THE LAPDANCES!
Enter Trixie.
He’s instantly mega intrigued. He knows he’s just met the future Mrs. Mitchell.
But Trixie is not willing to tell him her real name.
But not for the reasons Cam thinks ….
MYSTERIOUS!!!!
But after a night at jail (what???) Cam might just hear from her again … or he might stalk her at work … same thing.
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
SUCH AN ADORABLE STORY!
I just loved Cam!!! He’s such a sweet guy. And cocky. And hot and talented and adorable and he has a crazy dog!
Even if you’re not a fan of football, you just need to read this book!! Also – we’re not really footballing in here – they’re between seasons but we still see all those eye candy football players!
This book was a tiny bit different than the last one. It’s still mega adorable and funny and sexy – but we also have the whole crime thing in there. And that makes it a bit exciting.
I just adored Cam’s story. I also adored all the other players from the previous books and Leo from the upcoming book. And I adored the heroine’s hilarious family and their dinners. Amazing book!
It was funny, adorable, very sexy, exciting. Not a thing to complain about!
TRiCK PLAY was an amazingly adorable & funny & sexy & exciting Football-Cop-Romance! Hurry to your nearest amazon – Cam will be sold out in no time!!!
