Book Review: Beauty and the Baller

kindle unlimited spicy romance

Summary

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 one was so cute! I loved the second chance romance of it, the big city to a small town, and fake dating!


Nova and Ronan have a pretty awful one-night stand. Two years later she finds out they live next door to each other. He is the new football coach and she is back home after tragedy strikes her family finding herself caring for her younger sister. He doesn’t recognize her at first but soon he realizes she is the one that got away. They both are trying to avoid dating so to get everyone off their backs and decide to fake date. We KNOW that never works out well!

I really loved the other characters in this book. They added some more humor. This is a part of a series and can be found on Kindle Unlimited, too! I was able to listen to this as an audiobook through Kindle Unlimited-which was also an amazing audiobook!

If you’re looking for a spicy, sports romance, this is your book!
