Not My Match

The Game Changers, Book 2

De: Ilsa Madden-Mills

Narrado por: Summer Morton, Alexander Cendese

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers a smart and sexy romance about a professional football hottie and the girl he’s sworn to never touch.

Homeless and heartbreakingly innocent, Giselle Riley walks into my penthouse and chaos follows.

I shouldn’t have invited the girl genius to live with me, but it’s clear she needs my help - not only for a place to lay her pretty blonde head but in finding real love, which she’s not going to get with the crazy men she picks up online.

Too bad she’s a twenty-four-year-old virgin and I’m a bad boy wide receiver. She’s off limits for a hardcore player like me - and we’re just friends.

Instead, I’m her matchmaking service, no matter how jealous it makes me when I tag along on her dates.

I can keep my self-control. Right? No way will I give in to everything inside me that dreams of a girl like her in my world.

I may be the best wide receiver in the country, but how could I hold on to a girl like her?

Narration was awesome.

My wife’s review

I enjoyed the first book Not my Romeo so gave this one ago as well and enjoyed it just as much!

Great return trip to the town of Daisy

After listening to Not My Romeo last year, I was really looking forward to returning to Daisy in Not My Match. Ilsa Madden Mills does not disappoint. I really enjoyed this romcom!

I was so smitten with Devon in Not My Romeo, so I was waiting for him to find love and sweep some woman off her feet. He's charming and playful, and totally someone with a good heart even if you want to lump him into the playboy athlete category. He's had his heart broken, so he doesn't think he knows how to open up and be in love any more, but boy, oh, boy was he wrong.

Giselle has a hard time believing that she can balance love and career. She's focused and driven and knows exactly what she wants. She's working to move obstacles thrown in her way on her way to success, and the last thing she wants right now is to fall in love.

From the first page to the last, the banter, wit and intelligent humor carry through this entire book. The characters are smart and driven, and they really are great complements to each other. Just as Devon and Giselle couldn't resist falling in love with each other, I couldn't resist falling in love with them, with their quirks, with their humor, with their banter.

The narration of the audio, by Summer Morton and Alexander Cendese, was very good.

Chemistry…check, Humor…check check

I enjoyed the first book in this series and love this one even more. I hope there is a third so we can find out what happens with Aiden. Great Chemistry and humor. A lot of humor that I wasn’t expecting. while I like both of these narrators I am not sure I have heard them together. They really complimented each other. This may have been my favorite AC performance ( sometimes he can be over the top) . I was able to read and listen to this for free through kindle unlimited but really thinking about spending the credit to add to my library. Great job to all.

Awesome

I loved it! Male narration was not great. But I can't wait for more stories from Daisy.

Entertaining story

Devon and Giselle met when his best friend, Jack meets his now wife (Giselle’s sister). Jack has also warned all of his teammates to stay away from Giselle. Giselle is trying to figure out her life after a broken engagement, but Devon is there for her as events unfold for her. She ends up living with him, which makes it harder and harder for them to stay away from each other. This was a great follow up to Not My Romeo and I really enjoyed this story. From an audio standpoint, the narration was good, but the male voice seemed to speak in a rushed voice, which was a little hard to adjust to when switching from the female narrator.

“You’re with Me!”

The heroine: Giselle - she is going for her PhD in theoretical physics. She is a smart girl who has focused on her studies. She had one failed relationship with a guy she stole from her sister. Though she is a nice girl who thinks of others all the time.

The Hero(es): Devon - Pro football player and I do mean player. He is not interested in being in a permanent relationship. Devon is the best friend and teammate of her sister’s new husband Jack and Jack warned all his team to stay away from Giselle.

The Story: Giselle has a history of bad birthday’s and seems to have a curse on the month of her birthday every year. On the month of her birthday this year, she is woken in the night when her apartment building is on fire. Devon happens to be in the right place at the right time and offers his place to Giselle while hers is being fixed.

There are some things that really stand out as things I really liked in this book. First was the fact that though Giselle was the evil sister who stole her sister’s man in “Not my Romeo”, it is explained in a way that we see Giselle as a good girl who is riddled with guilt over what happened and how it truly wasn’t as bad as it looked.

Another thing I liked was the fact that Giselle is a very smart girl who is studying for her PhD in Physics and that is backed up by enough talk of theoretical physics that we can tell the author did her research on the subject and backed it up in the story. I sometimes hate it when books have an intelligent woman but there really isn’t any evidence of her intelligence in the story. Ilsa Madden-Mills is great at integrating background information into the storyline in a seamless way.

As for the narration, I really liked both the female and the male narrator, my only criticism is that I didn’t like when the male narrator did the female voice. I know this is the standard way audiobooks are done, especially when the different chapters are in dual POV. The chapters told in the female POV, have the female narrator doing both male and female voices and same for the chapters in the male POV. However, I still wish that they would have the female narrator do all the female parts (even when in the male POV chapter) and vice versa.
