Thank you so much Montlake for this ARC!
Synopsis:
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.
Review & thoughts:
Princess and the Player is the second book in the Strangers in Love series by Lisa Madden-Mills (but it can be read as a standalone). I adored Tuck since we first met him in Beauty and the Baller and his story is even better than I hoped for!
Francesca and Tuck meet for the first time during a masquerade party in a sex club. Neither of them went there for a one night stand, but as soon as they meet they are attracted to each other and soon decide to spend one unforgettable night together. A few months later they meet again and it’s really like fate when it turns out they actually live in the same building. But pretty soon everything will change because Francesca is pregnant… and Tuck absolutely doesn’t want children. Will these two be able to get their happy ending?
I was so happy when I learned Tuck would get his own book, he was one of my favorite characters in Beauty and the Baller and here we learn so much more about the amazing man he is. Both he and Francesca didn’t have it easy in their lives but I loved how strong they were and how they fought for their dreams. Their romance is my favorite part of this book, it was amazing to see how they slowly started to trust each other, open up about their past and how they supported each other, these two have such a beautiful relationship.
I really enjoyed reading Princess and the Player and I’m so glad I had the chance to read it early. If you liked Beauty and the Baller you will definitely love this book too, and if you didn’t, you should absolutely check it out, I’m sure you won’t regret it!
