A review by romancebookaffair
Princess and the Player by Ilsa Madden-Mills
4.0
Francesca and Tuck’s story did not unfold how I expected it to but Ilsa Madden-Mills made it all work.
They have enough baggage to fill a freight train wagon each; their childhoods and their past relationships have left scars that haven’t healed. With so much going on for them individually it has a major impact on their relationship and their ability, or not, to be in a long term commitment. I struggled with some of the decisions Francesca made and how she went about certain parts of her relationship with Tuck, though I could empathise with her and the reasons for those decisions. My heart hurt for the difficulties they went through to get to their happily ever after because often it was 2 steps forward, one step back but I was so happy when they got there together. Through it all though, they both had the most amazing, adorable, eclectic found families that supported them during their journey.
