Started so good, to the point I was so much into reading, but after they hook up, the book changed its course and it turned too bland.

I love Ilsa's stories, but sadly I wasn't captivated by this one. Idk if it is because I'm not in the right mood to read it or if it is because I don't vibe with her stories anymore.
It was just a mediocre story about a jock and a beauty queen, but the whole humor was bland to me. Idk y'all, but the whole nerdy humor isn't my thing anymore. Plus the whole story was ridiculous from the very beginning.
Anyway, if you like sports romance and nerd vibes go for it, but as I said it wasn't something I haven't seen before....more

As expected, I could feel the tension between Reed and Callie from the beginning and even If I want to m*rder him, I trust Saffron will serve another epic love story on A Gorgeous Villain.
I love how sweet Callie is, but at the same time she goes crazy for her man. I connected with her since the beginning and I cannot wait to see how everything will go on the future time.
As for the side characters, I fell for the Thorne brothers since I met them, specially Conrad (*praying he is Wyn's love interest*). I love how protective they are of Callie and I hope we have more family dynamics on AGV!!
Grab the prequel right now. You don't want to miss it!!...more

✅ Sports romance ✅ Good guy ✅ Sassy heroine ✅ Romcom
Ryan Kingston (King) is the definition of golden boy: he is kind, respectful, a gentleman and he follows the rules. While Queenie is the total opposite: she is carefree, impulsive and sassy.
One night, they meet in a bar where each one confess their deepest secret and after some drinks, they have a one night stand. The problem is that she leaves before he wakes up, without leaving any form to contact.
Weeks later they meet again and they realize their truth: she is the daughter of the general manager of Seattle's NHL, while he plays in that team.
They are supposed to be forbidden since her father is her hookup's boss, but they have instant chemistry and they both can't control what they feel.
I had so much fun with these two because they were involved in a lot of weird situations, special mention to the strawberry scene ...more

One night during a party, Dillon McQueen sees a girl dancing alone and he gets immediately attracted to her. He goes to talk to her and kisses her, but she snaps on him and leaves.
3 years later, destiny puts them back together, but this time things have changed.
Serena Jensen has her heart broken and she can't seem to move on after what happened with her ex. Meanwhile, Dillon can't get over her, besides everything.
Due to some misunderstandings, she believes he is the typical popular jock who plays with girls, but the more time they spend together, the more she realizes she is wrong.
Dillon is the example of a good boy. He has a tragic past, that makes him believe he ain't worthy of love and feels alone.
While Serena deals with trust issues towards relationships. She doesn't want to rush things again to end with a broken heart.
I love how Dillon and Serena's relationship evolved and how he never gave up to make her fall for him.
There are lots of funny scenes, specially the ones involving Dillon's friends and Serena's family.
The two things I love the most about the book are:
➡️ Heroine older than the hero (3 years apart)
➡️ Hero falls for the heroine first
Overall, it's a romantic read, with lots of steam and funny scenes, written in a beautiful way. Totally recommended If you are looking for a different sports romance!!...more

Such a quick fun read, with no skips at all!! Elle Kennedy knows how to write the perfect sports romance with all the fun and spice I need on my books!!!
Tbh I was so hyped to read about Brenna and Jake from the very beginning, still the book surprised me for good. Not only bc there was no drama or conflict at all, but bc these two have insane chemistry, which the author explores so well.
Their journey has been everything I expected and im glad they are happy for now. Kinda wish there was a couple more chapters to see them together happy and enjoying their time, but still I did love this entire read from the start to the epilogue.
If you are into sports romance and love to see a couple with insane chemistry, then go for this. U will not regret it!!...more

When she arriThe story follows 26 yo Elena who on Valentine's day goes to a blind date. She only knows that her date will wear blue and has dark hair.
When she arrives, she goes to sit on her date's table, but turns out he isn't her date, he is actually Jack Hawke, a famous quarterback.
He believes she is the blogger who he was waiting, while she thinks he is a weatherman. While talking, Jack realize she has mistaken him for someone else, and since she doesn't realize who he is, he follows the lie.
They have a one night stand and on next day Elena finds out who she slept with! Ofc she freaks out because they are totally different: she lives in a small town and likes intellectuals, while he lives in spotlight and girls are after him.
I like how their story started and the small town aspect, but also how he went after her and tried to make her fall for him.
Elena is funny with quite an interesting personality, while Jack is brooding. Sometimes he made me mad because the stuff he was keeping, but he redeemed himself by the end.
The writing style is awesome as you can expect from Ilsa. It has a cute final and epilogue.
There are some interesting characters such as Topher or Devon, who I'm excited to see their stories in upcoming books!!
If you love sports, with opposites attract and the hero being after the heroine, the book is for you....more

Steel prince is the continuation of Elsa's and Aiden's story from deviant king. This one is more darker than the first one, since we find out so many twisted things around Elsa's past, that will make you binge it in one sitting.
I do love this one more than the first one, not only because there are lots of answers from questions I had in book one, but also because I love how Aiden and Elsa's relationship evolved.
Elsa proved to be stronger than she thought. She worked hard to try to get answers, but also she embraced the darkness around her past to her actual self.
We also get to see that something happened between Kim and Xander and Cole and Silver. Can't wait to get to their books!!
Besides how twisted Aiden's personality is, he proved he has strong feeling for Elsa and would do anything for her.
That end is crazy!! I didn't expect that and now I want to continue next book asap!! ...more

2 years ago, Elsa Steele started studying at RES. She lives with her uncles since she lost her parents when she was 7, but she doesn't remember anything about that incident.
She doesn't like attention, but when she meets Aiden, he promises he will ruin her life. Two years later, Aiden stills after her, but this time she fights back.
Their story ain't easy not only because they have different lives, but also because they are damaged and keep fighting as buttheads.
I also enjoyed Kimberly and Elsa's friendship. It was cool to see them bond and I hope I see more about them.
Overall, if you like NA bully romance, with a twisted hero, broken heroine and a good cliffhanger, check this one out!!...more
