Synopsis:
Don't get mad. Date his favorite athlete.
To make her ex jealous, an ambitious young surgeon recruits a charming star soccer player to be her date to a lavish Parisian wedding—but love might have a game plan of its own, in this stand-alone romance from the USA Today bestselling author of the Biotech Billionaires series.
Dr. Isabelle Mercado is this close to having it all. Top of her class at the country’s most competitive orthopedic surgery residency, a dream career within reach, and a golden ticket to the wedding of the year in Paris.
There’s just one problem: her ex—the one who got away—is going to be there… with his perfect new fiancée.
Desperate to save face (and maybe spark a little jealousy), Isa enlists soccer legend and global heartthrob Austin Cade to be her fake date. It’s the perfect match: after an injury and some unfortunate encounters with the press, he needs good PR and the kind of elite connections this wedding will attract. Plus, her ex just so happens to be his #1 fan. Win-win.
But between champagne toasts, macaron baking classes, and stolen glances under the Parisian stars, pretending starts to feel a lot like the real thing. Isa’s always been all-in on her career—love was never the goal.
But maybe, just maybe… this time, the heart has its own agenda.
Review:
Out of Her League was a fun, fake dating romance that I devoured. The audiobook was effortless to listen to and kept me easily entertained. The characters had me not only invested, but I felt like I knew them. And I loved the whole premise of this story. This was my first story by Ava Rani and this book has me wanting to devour her whole backlist!
Cade was Isabelle’s ex-boyfriend’s favorite athlete. And when she found out that her ex was going to be at a destination wedding she was attending with his new fiancé, the plan for Cade to fake date her had me cackling! Ava was completely diabolical, and Austin was more reserved, I couldn’t wait to watch them interact more! What unfolded was definitely smile and laugh inducing!
Cade will make you swoon without even trying. And laugh out loud too, four kids, I’m still dying over here! But the more we got to know Cade, we saw that he was sweet, kind, and so thoughtful. I loved his go with the flow personality; he was so easy to like. Whereas Isabelle wanted to have everything in control for her life, and she knew what her path looked like. But as she spent more time around Cade, I loved how she started to question what she truly wanted. And where her passions in medicine lay.
This was such a beautiful story of two people bringing out the best in each other and watching where life leads them. With laughter along the way. With steamy kisses, thoughtful meals, and a wonderful happily ever after, Out of Her League was a charming fake dating story. I definitely adored this one!
