Title: Not My Match

Author: Ilsa Madden Mills

Genre: Contemporary sports Romance

Type: The Game Changers #2

POV: Single

Release date: 19th Jan 2021

My rating: 💋💋💋

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?

She is just living with him , right? It’s not like he will start liking her compoany or maybe even wanting to be with her? Well… only time will tell that!

Overall Opinion :
I am a huge fan of Ilsa’s books. Like a HUGE FAN. Her quirky sense of humour and easy plotlines always pull me in and don’t let me go until the very end! However I am so sad to say that this book just didn’t click for me! I tried okkk , I tried really hard to get into this one , but I just couldn;t concentrate and it didn’t pluck me in. Soon I found myself flipping pages and wanting it to be over soon.

The story was good , and I actually loved the banter between the main characters , however a spark seemed to be missing. I don’t know if it was just me , but I really couldn't connect to the characters in this book. It was a one time read for me and if you are a huge fan of contemporary romance , then make sure you read this one! It didn’t click for me , but that does not mean the same would happen with you. Give this one a try!

Final Verdict :
A one time read for me.
I just couldn’t connect to the characters , no matter how much I tried.
If you are a huge fan of contemporary romance then make sure you read this one! Maybe you’ll love it!
