Everything Ellie thinks she knows is about to change.


Despite his dangerous past, billionaire Devlin Saint finally has Ellie Holmes in his life
and in his bed. Yet shadows still cling to Saint, obscuring his dark secrets and the confidences he swore never to reveal.


An investigative reporter, Ellie is certain the man she loves hasn’t told her everything. And when she starts receiving anonymous warnings about Devlin, she vows to investigate. Soon it becomes clear that Devlin isn’t the only one with things to hide, and the more Ellie learns, the more she realizes how dangerous it is to love Devlin Saint.

His touch is her sin



We're back with Ellie and Devlin.
This book starts basically right the minute we left them in the first book.
Remember? They're in bed and Ellie just received that weird little text warning her ... about who Devlin really is? To stop her research? Or something more personal?
We'll find out. And our darlings will argue a lot about who will be finding out. Ellie the reporter or Devlin the rich guy with connections everywhere.
Plus there are still some secrets that Devlin is not sharing. He says it's too dangerous and she will definitely leave him if she finds out. 

What will happen with Devlin & Ellie?
Will there be a happily ever after?

READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺

Book 2!
Yay.
Due to my massive bookalzheimer brain, I did a re-read of the first book a few days before starting this. I realized I remembered most of it anyway. AND - Julie explains a lot during the first part of this second book. Which is super cool for readers who haven't read the first book or are even worse with their bookalzheimers than I am ... but for me it was a bit too much - because I had just read it. I can also imagine if readers wait until all three books are out ... they might be a bit bothered too.
But anyway. Now we definitely know what happened in book #1. ☺
Let's start with the second book.
Which is just as sexy and mysterious and suspensy/dangerous as the first one.
We need to find out who the text-sender is and if he's a bad guy trying to do harm, or if he's just worried about Ellie?
And Ellie is still trying to figure out what happened to her uncle. Or rather why he became a criminal and what all happened back then.

Lots of mysteries still to be solved and lots of personal, relationship and friendship problems to overcome for our darlings. And we still get a third book. Jeez! But don't worry, this second book doesn't end in a bad cliff-hanging cliffhanger. It's exciting and open, but nobody is about to die or anything like that - also ... the actual cliffhanging might've happened earlier in this book already. LOL!

I really enjoyed reading this second book. Like book one it's again so full of all the things!
Very sexy, mysterious, dangerous, exciting!
Julie wrote a really great new series ... a really worthy Stark competition!!! Even though I sometimes got some Damien flashes while reading about Devlin. But that's totally ok. They're both just totally our type! ☺

I can't wait to see where this story will take us in the final book.
And can someone please get Netflix on the phone for this already!!!????

MY BEAUTIFUL SIN was another mysterious and sexy book in this beautiful new romantic suspense series! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Devlin - this one is MINE!

Most recently, it has been optioned by Warner Brothers Television for development as series on the CW Network with Alloy Entertainment producing.
JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swopn for him.” A three time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy).

(sister & best friend from 1st book)
• Physics-Nerd-Football-Bad-Boy-Romance
• Book #2 in #TheGameChangers

4.5 Stars

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 shes 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 were 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?




Giselle & Devon.
We met them both in the first book.
Giselle was the heroine's boyfriend-stealing beautiful nerd sister - the guy who then cheated on her too.
And Devon is Jack's best buddy. Football bad boy.
Since Jack told all his teammates that his new sister is off limits - Devon is a bit scared everytime he's in the same room with this amazing woman. Especially because she's also still a virgin at 24.
But suddenly she's living with him!

LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN ...


ADORABLE! HILARIOUS!
I JUST LOVED IT!

This was such a sweet and funny romance!
Of course we also have a few not-so-funny things in our darlings' pasts. So we don't get an insta happy end - they have to work through some stuff. But nothing bad ... they just have to realize that they've been each other's HEA all along.
So cute and sparky and adorable and fun. I adored both Giselle and Devon! And all the others too - Aidan, Myrtle - amazing cast.
I really want to see this on Netflix one day!
 
NOT MY MATCH was an adorable and funny and sparky physics-nerd-football-bad-boy-love-story! I adored it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Devon - this one is MINE!


I still don't like Ilsa's overuse of those sentences - the ones that probably have a real grammatical name... no idea what it is though...example:
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 Match is the second in The Game Changers series, and I liked it better than the first book, Not My Romeo
 
I adore Giselle - which I have to say, I didn't think I did after events in Not My Romeo.  However she is well and truly redeemed in my eyes.
 
Devon is all kinds of deliciousness wrapped up in one man. His struggles around our lady are cute and funny and frustrating - and ooooh the UST between this pair is off the charts.
 
I had my issues with Jack in this installment - hello, would you like to be called the pot or the kettle today?
 
The familial bonds are strong in this one, and you can't help but want to cheer them on to good things.
 
Myrtle is the best (except for the tan, she reminded me of the neighbour in There's Something About Mary at times lol.
 
Get thee to a book seller and buy a copy of Not My Match - you won't be disappointed.
