REVIEW: Only Between Us by Ellie K. Wilde

 


OUR REVIEW:

It's been a while since I've read a novel that I go to sleep reading it, wake up reading it, and shirk all other responsibilities because I only want to read it. Only Between Us was that for me. I found Siena to be completely charming and hilarious. Brooks was sweet and vulnerable. And the secondary characters? They just rounded everything else out perfectly (minus the creepy landlord, blech). Throw in football and a fake relationship (who knew I liked those?! I didn't.) and I could not stop reading. I liked so much about this novel--the character development, the plot development, the lighthearted banter, and the spice...so good, y'all. 

This is the first Ellie K Wilde novel I've read, but I will be researching her backlist to see which thing I read next because I feeeeel like they're all gonna be this good. 



SYNOPSIS:

After a death-defying injury sidelined him for two seasons, Brooks Attwood’s pro football comeback has hit a major snag. Naughty photos from a post-break-up bender have leaked, and they’re killing his chances with the Rebels—his old team, and the only one he wants to play on.

As he trains with the hope of being signed before the first kickoff of the season, Brooks’s plans to keep a low profile are suddenly upended when his selfie with a fiery fan goes viral, and tabloids mistake them as the football world’s newest It couple.

Turns out, Siena Pippen is the ex-girlfriend of the “face” of the League. And she wants nothing more to do with that world after being with her nightmare ex. While she and Brooks are busy blaming each other for the media circus surrounding them, NFL teams are suddenly scrambling to sign a housebroken Brooks. Meanwhile, Siena realizes that all this buzz could be the Hail Mary her family’s struggling business needs.

Together, Brooks and Siena hatch a ignore the will to kill each other and pretend to be madly in love—at least, until Brooks signs with a team. But the longer they pretend, the less fake their fauxmance begins to feel…and Brooks becomes as determined to convince Siena they’re truly meant to be as he is to land a spot on the Rebels’ roster.
