Resumen del Editor

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.

Levelheaded 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 an exclusive lifestyle club.

There, she meets unknown-to-her NFL star Tuck Avery, dressed as a prince and hiding behind a mask—he’s there to celebrate 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 realizes quickly that her masked 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. Getting tangled up with a shallow jerk is the last thing Francesca needs right now, 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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The couple has chemistry to spare and Madden-Mills packs in the feels. Returning readers will be pleased.” (Publishers Weekly)

“A steamy romance that will appeal to fans of Karla Sorenson and Kristen Callihan.” (Library Journal)

Good story.

This story was good, and the narration brings the characters to life. Fate really did want these two together because what started as a one night, no names and became way more. Tuck & Francesca have troubled pasts and a lot to overcome if they want what they share to work. This story offers so much hope from self healing and believing in one’s self (not how others view you). Also, the chosen family can be so much better. 4/story 4.5/performance 4.25/overall.

What A Story!!!

I really enjoyed this story. Love Tuck and Francesa. I was laughing so much, but I had some emotional moments as well. Oh and the Hawt scenes, wowzers. I love that I was able to listen to it, and read it. So thank you to Kindle Unlimited for that!!!

LOVE IT

Great storyline, fantastic characters, and OMG some very funny one liners and moments.
I absolutely love it, and I think so will you

Stole my heart

The first book of this series stole my heart but this captured my heart. I went thru all the emotions I can’t wait to buy the book and have it in hand.

What sorcery is this book?!?!

I have been so in to this book that I couldn't stand being done with it. And yet my brain NEEDED that HEA. My brain was not disappointed. There were so many layers to this story and they were all fun to uncover. Tucker and Francesca were perfect together. My best advice to anyone not sure they want to read or listen to this book is to ignore that voice and get started NOW. You won't be sorry.

Loved it!!!

Great story great narration had me listening from beginning to end and for me that’s a good story.

A great story!

I enjoyed this one! It is my first read by Madden-Mills and I will definitely check out more of their stuff!

Sweet, entertaining and with a good narration!

Surprise pregnancy isn't a trope that I usually look for, but I was totally here for Tuck's story!
Their meet cute was at least interesting, and all the coincidences that led to them finally becoming a thing, make it really sweet.

Francesca is an interesting character, full of art and love, but she's also really closed up to everyone outside her chosen family circle.
When she gets pregnant after a one night stand at a sex club, and then find out who her baby's daddy is, things get complicated with feelings that neither of them are willing to face or assume.

I liked both main characters, and as always, the side characters were a real treat here, complementing their group in a really good way!
I loved the writing, and even though I felt that she could have told him sooner, I also saw all the red flags in doing it, since he was adamant in not wanting a family.

All worked it out, and I liked how it ended.

LOVE! LOVE!

So cute, LOVED Tuck and Frans stories. The narrators did a AWESOME job! SO FREAKING FUNNY! NEED SO MORE!!!!

cute (maybe some spoilers)

I liked it but did not love it, I feel there were parts missing and parts that weren't necessary like too much involvement of exes.
I liked the female reader from this book much better than the one for the first book and I got used to the male narrator by the end of the book but didn't like some voices he did. There were parts that were read as a character and it was another.
