Beauty and The baller by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Dear Books Lovers,

do you remember when a few months ago I talked about Dear Ava by Ilsa Madden-Mills, well, I liked that story and that method of writing so much that I could not resist reading the brand new book by this author entitled Beauty and the baller.

Beauty and the baller, as you can also guess from the cover, is a sport romance. The real beauty of this book is that it is funny, despite the fact that many issues and problems are addressed within it and more that, if you have read Dear Ava, you can guess from the author’s style of writing beautiful romances with much more inside.

I try to convince you to read this book with the following two statements. Ronan Smith is a phenomenal NFL quarterback, with the world at his feet, but there comes a time when he loses his girlfriend in a car accident and loses everything, including his career. Nova Morgan is instead a former beauty queen on a mission and her mission is to attract the attention of her favorite quarterback.

If I still haven’t convinced you, I would add that the writing in Beauty and the Baller is among the lightest and most fluent I’ve ever read. The chapters, divided between his and hers points of view, are short and always ready to intrigue the reader with new anecdotes and curiosities.

I have read this book in an arc version that is not correct – and I thank the publisher infinitely for this – despite the fact that it was not correct, it was one of the most beautiful and exciting reads of this year. What I really liked was the way the characters were created. They have very clear personalities, with strengths and weaknesses. They are human, they make mistakes, but in the end they make everything more real and consequently more interesting to read.

Small addition to everything I’ve already told you? Fake relationship, a cat and you have all the components that make an adult sport romance beautiful.

Although Ronan is no longer a player, he is now a football coach in a small town. The real weird part is, two years after his night with Nova, she moves to his own neighborhood in the same small town. They will be neighbors and only a lot of interesting things can happen. I said before it’s a lot of fun because there are a lot of scenes, especially the ones where Nova tries to impress Ronan that will make you smile and sometimes even laugh.
