Boyfriend Bargain by Ilsa Madden-Mills
5.0
Once again I find myself in love with a new-to-me author. The promos promised a hot college hockey player, a fake relationship, and lots of steam. Did it deliver? Yes! Was it so much more? YES!
Boyfriend Bargain sounded like a quick angsty read about a girl in need of a fake boyfriend to get what she wants. At first, it didn't make sense why Sugarn needed to date this specific hockey player to get into Law School at Vandy, and then it does.
I loved Sugar's sass and southern charm. I am also a girl from the South. Yes, we talk like that. I don't know if Ilsa, is from our part of the country but she did an excellent job capturing the strength and determination of many southern women especially when they are trying to make a point and prove their worth. As the story goes on after Sugar did a little recon work, I won't call it stalking because law-abiding ladies do not stalk. lol
Then there is Z. Oh, Zak, you are the best player on the ice and have a reputation for being a bigger player off.
There is so much more to Z than the reputation. He is smart, sensitive, and deeply affected by guilt and the past. Z feel the pull to Sugar, and it is the sweetest things to watch.
The #1 Rule to their bargain is No Falling in Love.
Sugar is determined to make her hard work and dreams come true without being held back by any man. She is driven further by her lack of a father. There are a whole lot of relatable family issues that these characters deal with on their own.
I cannot recommend this New Adult book enough. It has just the right amount of humor, sweetness, frustration, and STEAM! Ooooolalalal, the fiery relationship between these two, is off the charts!! Despite Sugar trying to deny it they end up coming back to each other over and over again. That's not a spoiler its in the book blurb;)
To summarize I love this book. It is not just fluff, but full of substance, and ice-hockey. I kind of want to watch some! lol I plan on reading more by Isla! I enjoyed her writing style, characters, and plot! Get ready for a fun-filled, emotional adventure, with heartbreak, love, good friends, and lots of comedy!
