Boyfriend Bargain
by Ilsa Madden-Mills
Ilsa Madden-Mills’ latest story a swoony delight that is the reason why romance novels exist – to give us an escape that will hit all the right spots.
Sugar Ryan doesn’t care for athletes in general or any kind of male that’s too cocky for his own good. Especially not after her singer ex-boyfriend cheated on her. Besides, she’s all set to go to law school until she isn’t and is in need of a fake boyfriend. Not just anyone will do though. She needs the hockey god with bulging muscles, a big stick and is nicknamed the Heartbreaker. Watch out for that last part Sugar!
Hockey is Zack Morgan’s passion and priority until Sugar Ryan starts showing up everywhere he goes. Reminding him of a ghost from his past, he’s already captivated by her when she lays out her bargain which suits him just fine. She’ll keep the jersey chasers at bay, they’ll have some fun and won’t fall in love. But after a couple of intimate encounters that are undeniably raw and explosive he’s determined to win her over. Can she trust him enough to give them a chance or will a secret threaten to tear them apart?
Boyfriend Bargain is a wonderful escape. It’s sexy, witty, heartfelt and did I mention sexy? Ilsa interlaces Zack’s past distress and present pressure seamlessly into the story, making their romance feel hopeful and angsty with the freshness of young and passionate love that conquers all.
Sugar has been practically alone for most of her life developing a strong backbone while Zack has lived the past few years filled with guilt, regret and understandable anxiety. He’s also catnip for anyone who can’t resist an alpha male hero with just the right amount of sweet wit. It was wonderful to watch them find each other and explore their deep connection.
I found myself grinning at the sassy banter and sass. The sexiness is matched with equal sources of heart.
I loved the story which is filled with deep emotion and understands the need to find a partner who is understanding and supportive. I couldn’t help but cheer for them all throughout this unputdownable tale.
Boyfriend Bargain is a standalone hockey romance by Ilsa Madden-Mills. It is told from both points of view, and has a happy ending.

➵ Cover: 5 (sexy hot hero with a sizzling gaze. Just look at him! )
➵ Blurb: 5 (Just that wanted line was enough to reel me in)
➵ Hero: 5 (He's a college hockey star with a lot of dark, but also a lot of determination and swoon worthy qualities. He's the kind of guy who'll save a cat, adopt her, take care of her but deny it!)
➵ Heroine: 5 (She's a super strong, independent woman who's overcome so much and knows what she wants)
➵ Sexiness: 5 (dirty, dirty, sexy hotness and a whole lot of it!)
➵ Feels: 5 all of them!
