Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers a smart and sexy contemporary romance about a smoking-hot professional football player and the small-town girl he can’t resist.
We start off with a lie on Valentine’s Day.
My blind date isn’t the studious guy I expected: he’s a drop-dead gorgeous player with sinful amber eyes. Somehow we end up at his penthouse. I blame the gin and tonic.
The next day I learn he’s Jack Hawke—bad-boy professional quarterback with a murky past. The NDA he has me sign should be a warning that he isn’t a regular person. Please. I sign it Juliet Capulet, so goodbye, famous football player with abs of steel, and good luck tracking down this small-town librarian.
But Jack keeps showing up in places I least expect him. Just when I’m sure he’s gone, he waltzes into my community theater and wins the part of Romeo to my Juliet. How’s a plain, mostly innocent girl like me supposed to resist a man like him?
Is Jack my real Romeo…or will this gorgeous football player only break my heart?

But the fans and the press don't like him much. But he has reasons for being the way he is.
And Elena. She's 26 and a librarian in a tiny town twenty minutes outside the city.
She also does some slightly scandalous side business that her family wouldn't approve of. But it's her passion.
Jack and Elena have the most hilarious meet cute. LOL!
After an amazing one-night stand they probably think they won't see each other again!
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN ...
ADORABLE! HILARIOUS!
I JUST LOVED IT!
This was such a sweet and funny romance!
We also have a few heartbreaking things in our darlings' lives.
And we have the most adorable pet and an amazing BFF roommate for each our darlings.
I just adored reading this!
There's really not much to say. I just adored it. The whole small-town vibe. The family. The gossip. The football. The friends. The sexy love story with its little problems.
This book was just exactly what I needed this week!
NOT MY ROMEO was an adorable and funny and sexy small-town-football-librarian-love-story! I adored it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Jack - this one is MINE!
My age, he's a very sweet guy I met in college.
In her seventies, she's wearing her silver hair in a bun.
Know what I mean??? :/ Me no likey!!!
ARC received for an honest review
Not My Romeo was an enjoyable rom-com that left me smiling.
Sports star, mistaken identity, porky pig - yeah, I had a great time reading this one.
I adore Jack and Elena. She is a bit of a hot mess, but she's putting herself out there.
Jack ... he is great for the most part, but there are things that irritated me, made me want to throw my reader across the room. Dude, we all have baggage, but the way you acted made me want to give you a clip around the ears. Gah!!
When the do have their sh!t together, our lovelies are just, well, lovely. They made me laugh and smile and feel all the feels.
There is a bit of angst and upheaval in their lives. I love how their family and friends kept them grounded, called them out on their BS. Well, I liked most of the family most of the time - you'll know why.
However the thing I loved the most is the real Romeo. You'll love him, I bet me last dollar on it.
I want, no I need more of Jack's team mates. Please give us more!
