Synopsis:
An NFL quarterback turned small-town coach gets sacked by a Texas beauty queen in this swoony, passionate romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills.
Gorgeous, talented, and brilliant, NFL quarterback Ronan Smith has the world in his hands. But after losing his career and his fiancée in a car accident, he falls into a pit of grief and bad choices. When a mysterious girl shows up to his party, he feels drawn to her and makes her his…for one night.
Former beauty queen Nova Morgan is on a mission. Scantily clad as a princess from a galaxy far, far away, she sneaks into a high-profile party to capture the attention of her favorite quarterback. But her hopes crash after an awful one-night stand.
Fast-forward two years. Broke and desperate, Nova returns home to Blue Belle, Texas, where, by a cosmic twist of fate, her broody neighbor is none other than Ronan, the shiny new football coach everyone adores. But he has no idea who she is.
The booster club keeps shoving women at Ronan to keep him in town. His solution? He proposes fake dating to Nova. But things heat up for real under these Friday-night lights when he realizes she’s the one who slipped away.
Has this jaded beauty found her forever baller, or will his past keep them apart?
Review:
This was a super cute read from Ilsa Madden Mills.
I am a huge sucker for any novel that includes small towns, as well as sports. This novel took both of those tropes, and combined them together to create a well-written, swoon worthy romance.
I loved the banter that Ilsa included within this novel. It made the pace of the novel go by so quickly. It seemed like before I knew it, I was already finished reading.
Ronan and Nova had great chemistry. As I was reading, I could feel the connection between the two of them. They were certainly different people, and yet, together they worked perfectly, creating this bond between them, and the readers that you could connect with.
4/5 Stars
