About this listen

A masquerade ball brings together an NFL player and a penniless princess in this smart and sexy romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills.

Levelheaded Francesca Lane never thought she’d miss her own wedding. But when her fiancé betrays her, she puts on her wedding dress and ditches the altar for a masquerade ball—at an exclusive lifestyle club.

There, she meets unknown-to-her NFL star Tuck Avery, dressed as a prince and hiding behind a mask—he’s there to celebrate his birthday. For one night, Francesca and Tuck indulge in a wickedly incognito affair. No names. No strings. And the masks don’t come off.

Unfortunately, Francesca realizes quickly that her masked prince is the wealthy jock who lives in the penthouse of her apartment building. His hobbies include parties and supermodels—or so the tabloids say. Getting tangled up with a shallow jerk is the last thing Francesca needs right now, so she vows to keep Tuck from recognizing her (not that she’s his type anyway).

But fate has a teeny-tiny trick up her sleeve…a plus sign on a pregnancy test. Can this tormented prince accept love, or will he push his princess away forever?

Critic reviews

“The couple has chemistry to spare and Madden-Mills packs in the feels. Returning readers will be pleased.” (Publishers Weekly)

A great addition to the series. This book was alot deeper and more emotional than I expected. Both main characters really tugged on my heart strings with their back stories. I really felt for Fran she's been through so much and I love her new found family. We meet some great new characters in this story. I loved Jasper and Cece they really made me laugh which helped break up some of the darker storyline. I liked how the story went along. The pair sharing more than they realise and have been unknowingly crossing paths. Fate or coincidence? Depends what you believe. Great story and I'm excited for more

I absolutely love the narrators in this book. They are perfection. I just adore Stella Bloom 's voice and interpretation of the characters. Lee Samuel was pretty great too.
The story is sweet, spicy, has plenty of drama, very little sport, found family and accidental pregnancy.
It's sweet and heartwarming too.

I absolutely loved this story!
A chance find whilst scrolling became 8 hours of joyful listening.
This book was great from the start, laugh out loud funny, exciting, steamy, and a thoroughly good listen all around!
The narrators were a perfect fit, and did an excellent job.
It was definitely one of those listens that you didn’t have to ‘get into’. I listened in two parts (only due to other obligations) otherwise I wouldn’t have stopped. It ticked every box on the ‘what makes a perfect audiobook’ IMO.
It’s a book you could listen to again and again.
Definitely recommend!

Brilliant! A perfect listen!
