Ilsa Madden-Mills's second installment in The Darlings series is such a fun and heartwarming, he falls first romance! Madden-Mills is an author whose tone and voice has a fun and contemporary feel that makes it very easy to engage with. Madden-Mills's work is always clear, thoughtful and centers interesting and well rounded characters. My Darling Jane was a really lovely addition to this series, I enjoyed the first a lot and really fell in love with this second installment and the world that has been crafted. My Darling Jane is a charming match-maker style romance between a football player and an up and coming match-maker who is a single mom and former model. This novel is beautifully paced and has the perfect balance of humor and heart, making it a romance that is easy to fall in love!
Our grumpy heroine Jane and the sunshine hero Jasper are two people who sizzle with tension and energy. There is always a fine line between love and hate and these two prove that. Watching this two circle around each other, banter, challenge and excite the other. It is fun to watch these two explore and question what they want for their future, what they want with each other and if love is worth the risk. I love that Jasper, who might see like a silly jock only looking for a good lay, has a depth the people overlook. I love that Jasper challenges Jane to see the true him and that he does not falter around what he wants. Madden-Mills does a lovely job building their relationship with conversation and small moments, she shows the inherent trust and chemistry through their physical relationship, and explores the depth of their feelings through gentle moments and attentions.
I would definitely recommend this novel and this series by Madden-Mills to anyone that loves a contemporary romance with heart and humor. My Darling Jane is a wonderful addition to Madden-Mills's work and is sure to leave you with a smile on your face!
