Not My Match by Ilsa Madden-Mills Release Blitz & Review

“Rife with uproarious moments and banter that sings, this scorching contemporary will captivate Madden-Mills’s fans.” —Publishers Weekly

Not My Match, an all-new slow burn friends-to-lovers sports romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is available now!

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers a smart and sexy romance about a professional football hottie and the girl he’s sworn to never touch.

Homeless and heartbreakingly innocent, Giselle Riley walks into my penthouse and chaos follows.
I shouldn’t have invited the girl genius to live with me, but it’s clear she needs my help—not only for a place to lay her pretty blonde head but in finding real love, which she’s not going to get with the crazy men she picks up online.
Too bad she’s a twenty-four-year-old virgin and I’m a bad boy wide receiver. She’s off limits for a hardcore player like me—and we’re just friends.
Instead, I’m her matchmaking service, no matter how jealous it makes me when I tag along on her dates.
I can keep my self-control. Right? No way will I give in to everything inside me that dreams of a girl like her in my world.
I may be the best wide receiver in the country, but how could I hold on to a girl like her?

Not My Match by Ilsa Madden-Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

I wasn’t thrilled when I started this read, knowing that Giselle was the heroine. In the previous book, I couldn’t stand her. But, I tried to go into this read with an open mind. In the end, I came around to Giselle. The author did a great job of showing the true personality of her character and explaining exactly why G was the way she was.

I adored Devon. Absolutely adored him. He had a painful past and was still dealing with the effects of growing up in a broken home and feeling as though everyone leaves him. He was convinced that he couldn’t let anyone too close to him because they’d eventually leave. Always the fun loving, good time guy to mask his pain.

This opposites attract romance was entertaining in the beginning but after a while, the wishy-washy dynamic between the characters became frustrating. Neither of them knew what they wanted and when they did, they wouldn’t say anything. It was a roller coaster. I also didn’t believe anything that happened in the bedroom after the h lost her v card. She’d instantly turn into this sexual explorer and basically banged Devon everyday in all kinds of positions. Her virginity was such a major part of the story that everything felt completely unrealistic. Hot, yes. Believable, hardly.

There was a lot going on in this novel. A ton of nerdy science jargon, sci-fi romance writing, football, small town dynamic... it was kind of all over the place!

The HEA was lovely and I was happy with the way the author made both characters deal with their heartbreak and loneliness before throwing them back together. I was pleased that neither character had to give up their dreams so they could be together. They compromised and leaned on each other.
