BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Not My Match by Ilsa Madden-Mills




“Madden-Mills masterfully handles the protagonists’ insecurities and traumas to produce a love story that’s equal parts tantalizing, gut-wrenching, and sweet.” --Publishers Weekly 

Not My Match, an all-new sports romance full of smoking hot chemistry 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?

Top Read 2021

”Life doesn’t decide who you fall for. Love knows no rules at all.”

5 Level-Five-superstars! My first Top Read of the year! Devon and Giselle were hilarious, so much fun, hot AF and hella swoony and romantic! I loved their banter, the scorching zing and emotional connection between them. I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THEM!

”Part of me knows that I’m teetering close to a heady infatuation with Giselle, throwing my inhibitions aside and devouring her piece by piece.”

Devon Walsh is charming and cocky. He’s not in the market for a committed relationship. He usually lasts about a month with one woman and then he sends them happily on their way. However, when it comes to Giselle Riley, he’s not completely sure if he’s coming or going. For the first time in a long time, she makes him feel and want things that he’s closed himself off from. His fears hold him back from going after what he craves with her.

”We stare at each other, and heat builds and rises inside me, a yearning to touch him that makes me feel light headed.”

Giselle finds herself in a mess – things are not going well with her studies, her dream job looks out of reach, she’s still repairing her relationship with her sister, and her apartment just burnt down. The only good thing seems to be her budding friendship with Devon, in spite of the obvious attraction between them. However, when she finds herself living at his apartment, it’s pretty hard to keep ignore the zing between them, especially when they seem to gel so well, too. She’s tired of making mistakes in her life but the more time she spends with Devon, the more she might be willing to take a leap of faith with him.

”He wants me – maybe more than just want, and the fierce girl inside me pounces. She’s had enough. She demands.”

Gaahhhh!!! This book gripped me every which way! On the surface, Devon and Giselle were an unlikely pairing. He’s the commitment-shy, bad boy player and she’s the genius, nerdy scientist who’s looking for monogamy. Devon was just downright gorgeous – not just on the outside, either. Underneath, he was as soft and squidgy as a toasted marshmallow. I adored his innate goodness and vulnerable heart. Giselle was surprisingly funny and goofy. She’s supersmart but was unapologetically her quirky self. I found her sweet, caring side and fierce protectiveness of others somewhat bittersweet, as she often struggled to stand up for herself. The two of them together were so fun and amusing. I adored their banter and connection. I really laughed out loud at some of their antics. LOL. Their chemistry was sizzling and the tension between them deliciously taut. Devon made me swoon hard!! He tried so hard to do the right thing by her but, in the end, his desire and jealousy pushed him to claim her. And, HOW he claimed her! *heart eyes* This novel (as well as the first novel, Not My Romeo) was full of colourful characters that made for a hilarious read! LOL. This author goes from strength to strength and I can’t wait for her next novel.
