Filthy English ~ Ilsa Madden Mills ~ Excerpt ~ Review ~ Trailer


A smokin’ hot British player… 
A jilted girl… 
One night of mistaken identity… 
 ★★ PURCHASE Filthy English Today!★★ 



 *A modern love story inspired by Romeo and Juliet* 



Blurb 


Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague’s fiancĂ© 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. 

Excerpt 


 Without much thought except for comfort, instinctively I pressed myself against him, fitting into his arms as easy as breathing. He leaned against the brick wall of the neighboring building and wrapped me up, sensing my need to be grounded. I don’t know how long we stood like that—maybe a minute, maybe five—but soon our breaths were in sync; the rise and fall of his chest in perfect accord with mine. One of his hands traced down my spine and then up. He outlined my shoulder blades with his fingertips. His hands drifted to my hips then caressed back up to my hair, massaging my scalp. 

But what had started as an innocent hug changed. 

Fire licked my skin everywhere he touched. Of their own accord, my hands slid down to his waist and teased the line where his jeans rested on his hips. I went further, my fingers toying with the V at his hip until I felt him harden against me. Lips brushed the top of my hair. “Remi . . . look at me,” he said, his voice raspy. 

If you look up, you’re going to kiss him . . . 
I tilted my head up and his mouth fused with mine in an instant. 
Insistent. Wild. Hot. Yes! This is what I needed. 
I groaned, and my hands rushed to his shoulders and dug in. 
He was wrong—terribly wrong—for me, but it felt so right. 

I felt wonderfully alive, revved up, as if I could crush a car with my bare hands, or push Dax against the wall and fuck him senseless. I recognized the feeling for what it was—an I almost-died-and-now-I-want-to-experience-life feeling. 

“Wait,” he breathed as I ran my hand under his shirt. “It’s adrenaline. You’ve been through a trauma. You don’t really want this—” 
“Shhh.” I lifted his shirt and kissed his chest, my tongue flicking over his nipple. 
“You taste like every good thing I’ve ever wanted.” 
His taut restraint snapped, and he swayed into me. “God, I can’t tell you no.”

Review Copy Provided by Author


Oh Dax! The play boy brother from Dirty English stars in this sequel and it was so much fun getting to know him. We find Dax in London where he has a chance encounter with Remi, who might just be the one who got away. 

Fear, longing, secrets, and misunderstandings all come into play as we follow these two back across the pond where fate keeps pushing them together. I genuinely liked both Remi and Dax and appreciated the struggles they both had to get where they needed to be emotionally. 

The version of Dax we meet here is much more mature than he appeared to be in Declan's book and that made it easy to root for him. Overall, this was a fun, well written story and I'm so glad Ms. Mills finished up the tale of the Blay brothers.

Dirty English ~ Ilsa Madden-Mills ~ New Release and Review


Meet Declan and Elizabeth in Ilsa Madden-Mills new fighter romance! 

 $0.99 LIMITED TIME ONLY! 

 ★★ PURCHASE Dirty English Today!★★ 

 **Dirty English is a modern love story inspired by Pride and Prejudice**


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.



Excerpt of DIRTY ENGLISH 

“Come to my apartment and spend the night with me.” I touched his face, my fingers stroking the softness of his sensuous lips. “Just one night and we can make this shitty world disappear.” He exhaled. “A one-night stand?” “Yeah.” He cupped my chin. “Someone hurt you, didn’t they?” My lips tightened. No one at Whitman knew about Colby except for Shelley and Blake, and I sure as hell wasn’t telling him. He’d judge me like everyone else had in Petal, North Carolina. “That’s none of your business.” “I see.” His eyes searched mine until I felt like a bug under a microscope. “What if I wanted more than just one night?” “Then your hands can let go of my hips now.” He removed his hands slowly, the tips of his fingers grazing mine. “This may surprise you, but I don’t sleep with every girl I kiss.” I’d been rejected. Again. “Blake said you got around, that you used—” “And you believed him?” His voice was incredulous. “Dude is in love with you and he saw exactly how we looked at each other tonight—” “Looked at each other? What are you talking about? You refused to dance with me and then you ran off with your girlfriend. Not to mention I just kissed you and you didn’t even care.” I threw my hands up. “I wanted to fuck you the minute you walked in that party,” he snapped. “Then why don’t you,” I bit out, tossing back my shoulders. “You think you want me?” he said tightly. “You can’t handle me, Elizabeth. I can see it in your eyes. You’re scared of something, maybe not me, but something.” My eyes went to his black eye. He let out a harsh laugh. “Ah, that’s what you’re afraid of. You want the real truth? You told me tonight you didn’t like violence, but I’m an arsehole who uses his fists. That’s who I am.” “What do you mean?” His gaze was intense, dark and low, his face struggling as he fought to find the right words. “I’m in a fight club for money. I show up at warehouses and fight other blokes. Sometimes I beat them so bad they need medical attention. A few times, I’ve been beat to unconsciousness. I’m everything you need to stay away from.” I inhaled, anger and lust and excitement all riding me. Anger that he was pushing me away, lust for the alpha male in him, and God help me, the fighting thing repelled me and excited me at the same time. “I don’t want to stay away from you. I want you to fuck me and stop making excuses for why you can’t.” My words seemed to snap his taut restraint. He pulled me back in his arms, his lips fusing with mine unerringly. His tongue plundered me in a sensual way my body had craved for years. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my anger morphing into all-out desire as he turned us and pressed me against the wall. Yes, yes, this is what I craved. A passion to remind me that I was real, not just some sad excuse of a girl who chose to exist on scraps of love. Before I knew it, he’d shoved my robe off, his hands sculpting my shoulders, massaging them as he ravaged my mouth. I reveled in the warmth of his hand on my neck as his mouth skated down, kissing the hollows of my throat, sucking on my collarbone. “Like this?” he asked, his voice dark and gravelly. “You want me to take you up against this wall?” “Yes,” I moaned. Gone. Past caring as long as he kept his hands on me. Out of control, my brain whispered, but I beat back the dark warnings as his warm hand found my breast and squeezed, his fingers rolling my nipple between his thumb and forefinger. I gasped in pleasure and arched my back to get closer to his body, ignoring the fear that pricked at the surface. The rules girl in my head stamped her foot and yelled at me. I ignored her. But even if I wanted to stop right now, I couldn’t. My tongue tangled wildly with his, my hands pulled at his hair, spurring him on, his hand palming my breast and then tugging. Sharp sensations of need went straight to my core. “Is this what you want? Something quick where we just take what we want and forget each other the next day?” No. Not that. Not like the way he said it, like it was something dirty. “Yes, like that,” I whispered against his shoulder, my mouth on his skin, tasting him as my teeth bit down. 


Elizabeth's Review 

4 Stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Author

I went into this book not really knowing what to expect since Ms Madden-Mills is a fairly new author for me. Everything I had heard about the book had me expecting an excellent work and I wasn't disappointed at all.

We meet Elizabeth Bennett for the first time right after a traumatic experience following her senior prom. Our story picks up a couple of years later when she is starting another year of college. She meets Declan just as the school year starts and sparks fly. Declan has his own issues and it was wonderful watching these two together.

One of the elements in the story that I enjoyed was the fact that even though Elizabeth and Declan were instantly attracted to each other, they didn't act on it right away. The push and pull between the two and the dancing around each other that they did laid the ground work for a stronger, more believable relationship down the road.

I do have to confess that I enjoyed Declan and his twin, Dax, more than I did Elizabeth. The twins didn't have things easy, but seemed to have adapted fairly well. Elizabeth had every right to be wary after her experience and with the complications of her family, but the way she treated Declan and then wanted the right to be sad about it bothered me. The secondary cast of characters isn't large, but most are important role players in helping Elizabeth and Declan find their way together. I loved the fact that Declan's twin, Dax, had the role of peace maker and I would love to see his story at some point down the road.
