~**~ ARC Review: Not My Match (Game Changers #2) by Ilsa Madden-Mills ~**~



***5 ‘You Are the Best Person in All My Universes’ Stars***

Have you ever been all kinds of excited to get your hands on a book and yet are kinda scared to dive in because maybe you kinda sorta had a tinsy bit of a problem with one of the main characters in the previous book and while you totally trust in the author’s ability to at least make you like them, if not love them in the end??

Well, that was me (if you’ve read Not My Romeo you’ll know why) but I can honestly say that I should not have allowed myself to worry because I freakin’ ADORED this book. From start to finish ADORED it ~ even the frustrating I want to Gibbs smack you while I hug you moments and really just want to spend a lot more time with Devon and Giselle and the rest of the crew.

Devon and Giselle. I adored these two. Devon is a sweetheart and there is seriously so much more going beneath the surface that is all kinds of goodness than anyone knows. Giselle. This woman didn’t grow on me, she slammed into me and I basically gave me no choice but to love her. She’s quirky, sweet, sensitive and I loved how much she loved everything that mattered to her. 

There is a lot I could say about their journey to their HEA. A LOT. But that would ruin the fun of it all. But what I can say is that for two people who are opposites, they flowed so well with each other in all ways that there was no way I couldn’t root for them to get the HEA they both deserved.

This was a great read. So great my cheeks hurt from all the grinning I was doing thanks to Devon and Giselle. But outside of those two, I loved catching up with crew from Daisy ~ Topher and Aunt Clara were awesome and Cynthia definitely up’d her game in this one. I would have loved a little more time with Quinn and even Lawrence, but Aiden definitely added some fun to the story...and I think that if I ever get a puppy I may just name it after him *smirk* but as for the newbies in this one. Myrtle was ALL kinds of awesome and I’m crossing my toes that Selena gets her own HEA one day...so, bring on the next book!

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?

My Review


Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today best-selling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is best known for her angsty new adult romances and romantic comedies.

Eight of her eleven novels have placed in the Amazon Top 10 Best-seller List: Dirty English #1; Fake Fiancée and I Dare You #2; I Bet You, Filthy English, and Very Bad Things #6; Boyfriend Bargain #8; The Last Guy, her collaboration with Tia Louise, #4. 

A former high school English teacher, she adores all things Pride and Prejudice, and of course, Mr. Darcy is her ultimate hero. 

She's addicted to frothy coffee beverages, cheesy magnets, and any book featuring unicorns and sword-wielding females. Feel free to stalk her online.
