4.5 stars "I knew exactly which road to take, and it was back to you." This book kept a smile on my face! The audiobook was so fun and I truly enjoyed listening to it. I love sports romance and I really liked how this wasn't your typical sports romance. Ronan is retired from the NFL and has moved from NYC to Texas to coach a promising high school team. Nova's path brought her back to her hometown in Texas from NYC as well. What are the odds...These two met a few years back in NYC in an...
Awe my heart. I love a scarred hero and Ronan is scarred inside and out. These two meet not so randomly two years prior to Nova returning back to her hometown. Her mother just passed away and she’s sworn to take care of her sister. Broke with no prospects, she moves into her mother’s house in a town she swore she wouldn’t come back to. Nova never got over her first heartbreak and Ronan is deflecting pretty much every woman that throws herself at him. The idea of fake dating doesn’t sound so bad,...
*4.5 Stars*What a wonderful and humorous romance. A one night stand and fake dating. Nova and Ronan gave me what I could expect from these two tropes and it was amazing. I was a little unsure about Nova in the beginning but she evolved so much throughout Beauty and the Baller. The responsibility of her younger sister Sabine and sacrifices she made. Nova was a fabulous heroine. Ronan, the beast who’s lost his wife, feels guilt and fear to connect to another person romantically. He never saw Nova
4.5🌟 I haven't enjoyed a book like this one in a hot minute. It was a while since i've read the fake dating trope and combined with second chance romance and grumpy/sunshine set in a small town i loved it.😩 Ronan is a NFL player mourning the death of his fiance and also his career when he meets Nova dressed as Princess Leia. (that's like his ultimate woman crush😂) they have immediate sparks and also ONS when he calls her by his dead fiance's name. (I know,i know, i was cringing too, but the guy
4 StarsThis was super cute read. I love most sport romances, but I especially love hockey and football romances. This was basically decorating my top friend feed, getting great reviews, and available via Kindle Unlimited. So I did what we all do and 1-clicked. So glad I did, because this was super cute and full of great (but not overly done) banter and quirk. I really enjoyed all the characters, the small town charm, and of course, the football angle. Side note: I somehow overlooked the "dead f...
I want to touch the stars, even if I get burned. Absolutely loved Beauty and the Baller so much. It’s been a minute since I’ve read a new Ilsa book, and BatB was exactly what the librarian ordered. Did this book make me want to pack up and move to Blue Belle? 100%! I so easily fell in love with Nova, Ronan and just about every single character in this book.This is definitely a sweet romance with an interesting meet-cute, and some hot steamy bits, but honestly the meaningful non-romantic relation...
2 stars b/c I’m feeling generous. Where do I even begin? I’m at a loss because this book has so many good reviews. Did we all read the same book? Some of my friends liked this too, so I’m sorry if I’m insulting your personal preferences… but this book just didn’t work for me. At all. My issues, in list form:1. The writing, the writing, the writing. Ick. There were times when I felt like I was reading the ramblings of a teenager, not a book about the late 20’s/early 30’s h&H. Their inner monologu...
4.5 STARS! "Who are you gorgeous?" Silence, thick and sweet, stretches between us. "Yours." Well, well, well, I do love a book that hits the ground running and this one HELLA does! Nova waltzes into Ronan's party one night dressed head to toe as Princess Leia, while he is a HUGE Star Wars buff. Coincidence? Well, you'll have to read to find out. But they share an instant connection and I was so here for it. I'm not usually a fan of the couple hooking up at the start of the book but...
5 Stars!(ARC provided by Social Butterfly PR)-We’re different flowers from the same garden, but we’re perfect together. Ronan Smith is a superstar NFL quarterback who had it all until his dreams were shattered by and accident that took away his fiancée and his career. He was suddenly on a path of self destruction when he hits rock bottom. He’s in a dark place as he mourns his old life. Then he makes new plans and starts over in a small town in Texas. Nova Morgan leaves behind her life in New...
4.5 Star Wars stars Sigh. When I got to the end, I didn’t want it to end (I love that the audiobook was free to listen to through KU). Maybe I’m being biased because I love Star Wars (my daughter’s middle name is Leia) and there were many references to it LOL. But I enjoyed reading this. The book starts off with the prologue. Ronan lost his fiancé almost a year ago in a car accident that has caused him to be scarred and hasn’t been able to move on since. His friend, Tuck, invited him to an event...
