Filthy English by Ilsa Madden-Mills Blog Tour


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.

Is there anything worse than being left at the alter? Well, Remi is finding out that a few weeks before her wedding, her future husband asks for a break and she can't get any down payment money for the venue or the honeymoon back. So Remi and her best friend, Lulu, head to London for the honeymoon/summer vacation. While out one night at a masquerade party, she sees a man that might help her forget for a little while. But it turns out that the man is from her past and it was a painful past.

Dax Blay is back in London for the summer helping his cousin when he ends up kissing a girl from his past. She was the only girl that ever made him feel anything, which scared him. He doesn't do relationships because when you love someone, they always leave. Just like his mom left, although she died from cancer.

Can Remi and Dax move past the hurt and pain and get the second chance they deserve? What will Dax do when he finds out what happened to Remi after their time together? What will happen if Remi's ex shows up?

I loved Dirty English and loved this one just as much. Maybe there will be a book for Spider next, a girl can dream, right? I love Ilsa Madden-Mills’ writing style and can't wait to read more from her.

Remi is in London celebrating her honeymoon...except she's not with her new husband, she's with her best friend since her fiancé called for a "break" right before their wedding date. Remi is nursing her wounds and trying to have a good time. Hanging out at Masquerade, a night club where all patrons wear masks, she meets someone she's decided to throw caution to the wind with. Turns out he's Dax! Remi's freshman year, 3-night stand that was the one she had to walk away from. Dax is the frat party bad boy all the girls want at school, but Remi was the only one who walked away from him. The chance that they run into each other in England must be fate testing the waters on them having their second chance.

I really enjoyed this story! Dax was such a great character. Brooding and sexy with just a touch of arrogance and could care less attitude. He's holding onto the shields around his heart when it comes to being with Remi again. Remi is torn between what she thinks she needs in her life and what she really wants. The back and forth, on again off again miscues were groan worthy, but I loved every minute of their play by play. Written perfectly to keep me page turning without giving up on caring where these characters are heading, because sometimes I tend to go COME ON ALREADY!!! I was sucked in and thoroughly entertained to the very last page!

I was really excited for book two in this series but I was a little disappointed. It’s a good read, it’s just not nearly as phenomenal as the first book was. With that said, I did still enjoy it and am giving it 3.5 stars.

Remi and Dax had an unforgettable weekend together and haven’t really spoken to each other since. Now, three years later, Remi has been dumped two weeks before her wedding by her “perfect man.” Her and her best friend, Lulu, decide to take the honeymoon as an escape and head to London, where they wind up running into the smoking hot Dax and reigniting the flames between him and Remi. Remi isn’t sure that Dax has grown up enough in the last three years to even think about going there again, and Dax thinks Remi deserves so much better than him, so he pushes her away at every turn. Then the fiancé that left her shows back up and Dax realizes he’s not ready to let Remi go.

I skimmed a lot toward the beginning of this book, it felt like it took forever for Remi and Dax to get together. The end is fast paced though, and I really like the way the author wraps everything up. I look forward to book three in the series!

Dirty English by Ilsa Madden-Mills


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.

*A modern love story inspired by Pride and Prejudice*

This was my favorite book so far from Ilsa Madden-Mills, I loved it! From the prologue, which is a game changer, you won’t want to put it down.

Elizabeth Bennett has had a rough past, which gets explained in the prologue, on top of that she has a difficult mom to deal with. Elizabeth sets out looking for a one-night stand. She knows going in that Declan is not the man to have this one-night stand with, but once Declan decides he wants something he’s determined to get it. Declan is a rich street-fighter who got burned by his ex and now doesn’t do relationships. He’s a hit-it and quit-it kind of guy, but when he sets his sights on Elizabeth that all changes.

I really liked that both Declan and Elizabeth are overcoming difficulties with their parents and they’re there for each other. Declan is quick to defend Elizabeth when she needs it and it makes for a really sweet romance with a large dose of steamy! This book had me crying and laughing on several different occasions, I just love Declan’s twin brother, Dex, and really hope he gets his own book!

I can’t wait to see what Ilsa Madden puts out next!

3 ½ stars
This book started off really good, held my attention and drew me in. However, about halfway into the book I seemed to have lost all interest in the book and I can’t really pinpoint why. At times I could feel the chemistry between the characters and at times I couldn’t. The whole drama with the mom and her boyfriend wasn’t working for me, what mom would tell some dude she just met something like that? Then the ending everything seemed to be fixed and tied with a pretty bow, somehow it just didn’t work for me. I loved Declan and his twin brother, I kind of wish I saw more of his twin, he seemed fun and lovable.
