A masquerade ball brings together an NFL player and a penniless princess in this smart and sexy romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills.
Level-headed Francesca Lane never thought she’d miss her own wedding. But when her fiancé betrays her, she puts on her wedding dress and ditches the altar for a masquerade ball—at a sex club.
There, she meets NFL star Tuck Avery, dressed as a prince and hiding behind a mask as he celebrates his birthday. For one night, Francesca and Tuck indulge in a wickedly incognito affair. No names. No strings. And the masks don’t come off.
Unfortunately, Francesca soon realizes her prince is the wealthy jock who lives in the penthouse of her apartment building. His hobbies include parties and supermodels—or so the tabloids say. Another shallow jerk is the last thing Francesca needs, so she vows to keep Tuck from recognizing her, not that she’s his type anyway.
But fate has a teeny-tiny trick up her sleeve… a plus sign on a pregnancy test. Can this tormented prince accept love, or will he push his princess away forever?
Princess and the Player is a complete stand-alone romance with nuanced characters and a swoony happily ever after.
This was me reading Tuck and Francesa’s story.
Seriously…through the whole thing!
I don’t normally like a secret pregnancy trope, but Ilsa Madden-Mills gave us these two perfectly dinged characters that it just made sense with everything that was going on between them. Each of them had so much baggage that had to be worked through but it was undeniable that fate or some higher power kept pulling these two together. This is one of those books where I’m going to tell you to pick it up and read if rather than me telling you about it. This is one of those books you just have to experience for yourself because I think everyone is going to pick up something a little different.
I will leave you with this and it has to do with the epilogue. In this day, who leaves the house without a cell phone?
