Fake Fiancée by Ilsa Madden-Mills

                                                      🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars

Summary:
 Fake engaged to the hottest quarterback in the country? SCORE.

They say nothing compares to your first kiss,
But our first kiss was orchestrated for an audience.
Our second kiss . . . that one was REAL.
He cradled my face like he was terrified he’d f*ck it up.
He stared into my eyes until the air buzzed.
Soft and slow, full of sighs and little laughs,
He inhaled me like I was the finest Belgian chocolate,
And he’d never get another piece.
A nip of his teeth, his hand at my waist . . .
And I was lost.
I forgot he was paying me to be his fake fiancée.
I forgot we weren’t REAL.
Our kiss was pure magic, and before you laugh and say those kinds of kisses don’t exist,
Then you’ve never touched lips with Max Kent, the hottest quarterback in college history.

Three months. Two hearts. One fake engagement.

So, this book has had quite a bit of hype associated with it. It's even a best seller on Amazon. I had read books before about fake fiancees as well as sports romances. I've never really loved any of those types of books but I thought I would give this one a chance anyway. 

I really enjoyed the very beginning of this story and it gave me hope that the author would take this story in a different direction. Sadly, I was mistaken. While the story was fine and there didn't appear to be any hideous amounts of plot holes, it just didn't tug at my heart like other books have before. 

I find that in order for me to connect with a book, it has to make me feel something. This one wasn't able to do that for me.  I thought that it was a cute story but it didn't make me feel anything past that point. The book seemed to follow the typical story lines I've seen in other books I've read in this genre with little differences thrown in. The differences weren't really delved into too much in order to make a difference.
