My Darling Bride by Ilsa Madden-Mills is now live!
In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.
On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.
Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.
Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.
Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.
As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

4.5 ‘Beautiful magic’ Stars!
ARC provided via Grey’s Promotions in exchange for an honest review.
In less than two weeks I have read two books by Ilsa Madden-Mills so you can imagine that I am a huge fan of this author and I read anything she releases. After the Christmas novella she released last month, now she comes back with a full-length standalone romcom / sports romance full of emotions, funny moments and a fake marriage that feels anything but fake.
So, My Darling Bride tells the story of Emmaline Darling (aka Emmy) and Graham Harlan. What do a simple girl who runs a bookstore and loves her family and a famous football star have in common? More than you think. Both are going through some things (including issues like abuse and near-death experiences) when their lives collide and Emmy happens to “steal” Graham’s Lambo. When they meet again, Graham comes with a proposal: Emmy will marry him or he will press charges. But what happens when sparks start flying between them? Will this fake marriage turn into a real one?
“She’s not my fiancée. That position is only for you.”
My breath catches.
A myriad of expressions flit over his face, ones I can’t decipher. “It must be you.”
I have to say, I was extremely into this book. I devoured the whole thing in less than a day. The storyline, these characters and their beautiful chemistry grabbed me from the very first page until the very last one. I love how Ilsa develops her novels, how she grows the relationship between the main characters and how emotional it gets in this one. Not everything is sparks and flowers for this couple, they have to deal with many obstacles but their feelings are too strong to ignore. And man… the chemistry? Of course, off-the-charts! I loved Emmy and Graham together, even though they take a while to accept their feelings for one another. The ending was so freaking sweet!
He’s that little piece of magic, that irresistible feeling I never imagined I’d feel for someone. I’ve fought it, but I can’t stop. That’s how love is, impossible to pack away and forget.
Therefore, I am rating My Darling Bride with 4.5 STARS because it’s another amazing example of why I love Ilsa Madden-Mills’ writing. She has given us another beautiful love story, with such great characters, a whole lot of feelings, some very funny moments and a ton of passionate chemistry. Trust me, you don’t want to miss meeting Graham and Emmy and all the amazing characters surrounding their story. If you love Ilsa’s work, make sure to check this one out!
