Filthy English by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Filthy English (British Bad Boys, #2)

by Ilsa Madden-Mills

A smokin' hot British player...
A jilted girl...
One night of mistaken identity...

Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague's fiancé drops her faster than a drunken sorority girl in stilettos. Armed with her best friend and a bottle of tequila, she hops a plane to London to drown her sorrows before fall semester begins at Whitman University.

She didn't plan on attending a masquerade party. She sure didn't plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago--the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.

Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London.

But that's damn hard to do when you live in the same house...

One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.

*A modern love story inspired by Romeo and Juliet*

I used to read a lot of new adult books back in the day, and Ilsa Madden-Mills was one of my go-tos. Lately I have been dabbling in the new adult world again, and it was really easy to fall back in all that angst and drama. If I'm being honest, I loved every second of it too.

Dax and Remi had a passionate three-day stand, but Dax being not-yet-ready-for-commitment let Remi go. Fast forward a few years and Remi, wounded from her broken engagement, crosses paths with none other than the man she couldn't forget and who still could ignite fires within her.

This book will having you both swooning and swearing. It's utterly frustrating at times, but also deliciously entertaining and satisfying. It was a book that allowed me to just settle in and let the story take me where it wanted to. This was absolutely the right book at the right time, and I loved indulging in it.

The characters were my favorite kind - slightly damaged and flawed. Both Dax and Remi had been through their fair share of hardship, loss, and disappointments. One thing they shared was grief over the loss of a parent. Both were hit quite hard and their worlds were turned upside down when they lost their parents, and it was wonderful to see them find solace in each other.

I loved watching these two frolic around England, but the fun really began when they returned home. Madden-Mills put them in one of those forced proximity situations, which just cranked up the tension. There were awkward moments and hostile moments, but there were some really hot and tender moments too.

There were times that I was ready to throttle both Dax and Remi, but more often than not, I was rooting for them. Second chance romances are my favorites, and in my heart, I knew these two were perfect for each other.

Overall: I found myself loving all the drama, while being happy for both Remi and Dax as they grew and finally allowed themselves to have the love they deserved.
