THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
Now a Wall Street
Journal Best-Seller
From New York Times
best-selling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a new stand alone romance....
A scarred fighter.
A girl with rules.
One night of
unbridled passion.
There are three
things you need to know about Elizabeth Bennett: she's smart as a whip, always
in control, and lives by a set of carefully crafted rules. She's learned the
hard way that people you love the most always hurt you in the end.
But then she meets Declan Blay, the new neighbor
at her apartment complex.
A tattooed British
street fighter, he's the campus bad boy she's supposed to avoid, but when he
saves her from a frat party gone bad, all her rules about sex and love fly out
the window. She gives him one night of unbridled passion, but he longs for
more.
With only a
cardboard-thin wall separating their bedrooms, he dreams of possessing the vulnerable
girl next door forever.
One night. Two
damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.
*A modern love story
inspired by Pride and Prejudice*
We meet our Heroine
Elizabeth Bennett as she’s experiencing one of the most horrifying events in
life, ever. We then see her attempting to take control of her life. With Rules.
As John Lennon said, “Life happens while we are making other plans.” That’s
what was happening with her. I like her because
she is relatable and real. Even though she has sort of unrealistic expectations
out of life. She is honest in who she is.
Then there is our Hero,
Declan. He is so done with girls and relationships and “love.” He is not exactly
a play boy but he has other things going on or himself. We meet him working
hard, may be even doing some illegal things to make something of himself, and
open his gym. He is strong, sexy and brooding with an English accent. Swoon
right? I like him because he is real as well. I like that he isn’t afraid of
his feelings and he has a strong sense of who he is. He doesn’t apologize for
it. The best part… THERE ARE TWO OF THEM!!! Yes Declan has a twin brother named
Dax, who is just as sinful as his brother if not even more so.
In this story we face
some legit tragedy. The story gets you invested in the characters so you
experience every fear, tear and heartache. This is okay though, because that
means we also get to experience every smile, laugh and well every sexy feeling
as well.
I gave this book five
stars for the amazing main characters. I love that it didn’t take a whole book
to for them to realize their feelings. I love the ending with the danger and
the sweetness. Well done.
She didn’t mention the
movie, and I didn’t bring it up. Her body was a drug and I wanted to consume
her. I wanted to press her deep into those sheets and claim her as mine.
But I didn’t.
I didn’t just want one
night with Elizabeth. I wanted more.
New York Times and
USA Today best selling author Ilsa Madden-Mills writes about strong heroines
and sexy alpha males that sometimes you just want to slap.
She's addicted to all
things fantasy, including unicorns and sword-wielding females. Other

Somerhalder (seriously hot), astronomy (she's a Gemini), Sephora make-up, and
tattoos.
She has a degree in
English and a Master's in Education.
When she's not
pecking away on her computer, she shops for cool magnets, paints old furniture,
and eats her weight in sushi.
She loves to hear
