There is no faking or pretending about it, Ilsa Madden-Mills has the magical touch when it comes to writing love stories with heat, passion and most importantly heart. With her vivid and sexy prose, Ilsa allows her readers to easily fall for her charismatic and lovable characters. And in the Fake Fiancée, this statement couldn’t be more true as readers like myself are sucked into a vortex where we are consumed with an addictive, sweet, and palpable love story as two worlds collide on and off the field.

Max Kent is the star and face of Leland University. As one of the top contenders to win the Heisman Trophy, Max's presence is known on and off the field. There are no shortage of football groupies who are willing to be a notch on his goal post. So when a feisty neighbor moves in next door, Max is automatically intrigued with Sunny and her sassy and vibrant personality.

As it turns out Sunny and Max shares a class together so naturally Max offers her a ride to class. When they appeared in class walking together, automatically everyone begins to stare and wonder who Max Kent is walking with. When Max suggest that Sunny be his pretend girlfriend to keep his ex and groupies at bay, Sunny doesn’t think too much of it since Max and her have this natural friendship and connection.

Well as it turns out, it doesn’t take long for Sunny and Max to realize that their friendship begins to get blurred. Fake kisses and touches begins to feel real. Innocent and playful text messages are no longer in the friends category. So when Sunny and Max finally acts on their attraction, what happens when fake becomes real?


I absolutely adore this gem of a book. Ilsa Madden-Mills will definitely have readers swooning for Max Kent in the Fake Fiancée. Mills did an amazing job showcasing that Max Kent may be the star on the football field but he also is the golden boy with a heart of gold. Behind his rugged and sexy physique, there is no faking about it that Ilsa has definitely written book boyfriend and book husband material. So if you are looking for a book that beautifully weaves humor, sass, raw emotions, and hot chemistry then you better one-click this book now. All I can say, this book was a major touchdown in terms of the New Adult genre.
