Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers a smart and sexy contemporary romance about a smoking-hot professional football player and the small-town girl he can’t resist.

We start off with a lie on Valentine’s Day.

My blind date isn’t the studious guy I expected: he’s a drop-dead gorgeous player with sinful amber eyes. Somehow we end up at his penthouse. I blame the gin and tonic.

The next day I learn he’s Jack Hawke—bad-boy professional quarterback with a murky past. The NDA he has me sign should be a warning that he isn’t a regular person. Please. I sign it Juliet Capulet, so goodbye, famous football player with abs of steel, and good luck tracking down this small-town librarian.

But Jack keeps showing up in places I least expect him. Just when I’m sure he’s gone, he waltzes into my community theater and wins the part of Romeo to my Juliet. How’s a plain, mostly innocent girl like me supposed to resist a man like him?

Is Jack my real Romeo… or will this gorgeous football player only break my heart?

I loved this book so much.

Jack didn’t have the best life growing up, I just wanted to go into the book and hug him. He has a hard time trusting woman. Why? Well that’s because his long-term girlfriend ended up writing a book about him and it was all lies, saying that he was this and that. One day he gets some severe anxiety when he is around people that he doesn’t know. Let alone reporters that want to get info outta him.

Elena has her own unique lingerie and she has a pet teacup piggy named Romeo. She thinks that she is going on a blind date with a weather reporter. Jack doesn’t tell her right away who he is because he thinks that it’s great someone doesn’t know who he is.

This is only my second book by this author, and she is slowly becoming one of my favourites. I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next.
