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?
I love fake dating trope and this one here was sooo good to read.
Nova and Ronan are perfect for each other, both have love one’s they’ve lost and the journey to find their happiness is well written by Mrs Madden-Mills.
Nova was betrayed by her boyfriend from school and after that she doesn’t have high expectations on the dates or relationships that she gets involved, she prepared herself for the worts so that way nothing that came from them would take her by surprise. But even with all that in mind she was willing to met Ronan and what supposed to be just an encounter of one night, the universe, the stars or who knows after two years from that day they seeing each other again back on her hometown where Ronan is now the coach of the town football team.
This two can’t be more sweet and adorable together, I laugh when they got caught in very compromise situations for the people that try to get Ronan to stay in this Texas town, and man if they are persistent. Specially Lois, I love this lady with all my heart.
My love extended to Sabine, Nova’s sister, she’s such a brilliant girl, Toby is a gold and so caring and loving young man. Caleb, Skeeter, Sonia and the rest of this amazing characters were just a whole tribe that was so incredible supporting each other, that’s why the last chapter together with the epilogue was one of my favorite parts of this story.
I wish and hoping for a book of Sabine, I’m pretty sure that would be another beautiful story to read.
I can’t recommend enough this book, if you are looking for a fun read, fake turned romcom football, this book is the perfect option.
I’m so happy I was selected to read an ARC of this book.
