TITLE: Dear Ava
AUTHOR: Isla Madden-Mills
GENRE: Romance
PUBLICATION: February 1st, 2020
Synopsis
WSJ bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers a gripping enemies-to-lovers, secret admirer, high school romance.
The rich and popular Sharks rule at prestigious, ivy-covered Camden Prep. Once upon a time, I wanted to be part of their world--until they destroyed me.
The last thing I expected was an anonymous love letter from one of them.
Please. I hate every one of those rich jerks for what they did to me. The question is, which Shark is my secret admirer?
Knox, the scarred quarterback.
Dane, his twin brother.
Or Chance, the ex who dumped me. . .
Dear Ava,
Your eyes are the color of the Caribbean Sea.
Wait. That's stupid.
What I really mean is, you look at me and I feel something REAL.
It's been ten months since you were here, but I can't forget you.
I've missed seeing you walk down the hall.
I've missed you cheering at my football games.
I've missed the smell of your hair.
And then everything fell apart the night of the kegger.
Don't hate me because I'm a Shark.
I just want to make you mine.
Still.

DEAR AVA:
Is a full length stand-alone from enemies to lovers romance novel by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I really enjoyed this one! The beginning took me down a road I wasn’t prepared for, this was such an emotional journey, and it set up this story perfectly, the untouchable 'Shark' players, from Camden Prep who ruled the school and fathers that ruled the town.
Dating one of the Shark players offers Ava a taste of their world when she attends a bonfire but all that ends before it began and once again Ava is left standing on her own.

Dating one of the Shark players offers Ava a taste of their world when she attends a bonfire but all that ends before it began and once again Ava is left standing on her own.
Ava Harris is one tough cookie, life has been an uphill battle from an addict mother, to living on the streets until she's under the care of the nuns whilst caring for her six year old brother Tyler who has special needs.
Now Ava is attending Camden Prep as a senior on scholarship, she's got one hell of a backbone and goals that no one can take from her. But when everyone at school treats her like a snitch because of something that went down at the bonfire, yet again she's being treated as an outcast.
Throw in an anonymous letter she discovers in her locker, someone whose out to get her, and a new hate/love connection had so many elements which had me glued to my ipad from start to finish.
I loved Ava, so strong and fierce, add in Knox and I was a big ball of mush! These two were perfect for each other!
This author delivered more than a romance, it had all the feels, all the angst, everything us book lovers like to encounter in our books. A tough heroine and a hot hero, what more could we ask for!?! The storyline flowed perfectly, the characters easily became ones that we could all connect with on some level, making this book one I highly recommend.
