Not My Match by Ilsa Madden-Mills
5.0

What can I say other than I adored this book so much! I loved the nerdy Giselle, I loved all the references made to The Big Bang Theory in this book as well. And then there was our big, strong, sexy football player Devon. Couldn’t help but adore him too! It was fun getting a glimpse back at Jack and Elena from Not My Romeo, as well as all the fun supporting characters the author gives us in her stories as well. Parents, aunts, small town characters, so funny!

It’s always so frustrating when older brothers or guys who think it is their job to protect a relative or friend from their friends kind of put a wrinkle in what could be true love matches. That’s what Jack did, making Devon reluctant to give in to the attraction he feels for Giselle. Not to mention how Jack gives away her big secret! But I guess at least it was only Devon that he told. And Devon of course had other reasons for not just jumping into a relationship with Giselle, and I like that he was honest all the way. In the end, I was glad for how they went in completely though. It made it all perfect.

I loved these two so much, there was even a part that totally took me back to my college days and my group of friends ways of talking about certain sexual acts without actually saying what they were. When Devon is spelling his name out “on” Giselle with his tongue. Oh I remember the teasing and blushing ways we talked about “ABCs” back in the day.
