I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There is nothing more exciting than seeing one of your favorite authors releasing a new book… unless it’s getting your hands on a copy of that book before it releases so you can read it early—or for bloggers like myself read and review it. That’s where I was this weekend when I saw I Bet You hit my kindle, literally jumping up and down, screaming joy!! And yes, I scared the kids and the dog with my actions, but my family knows not to come between me and a book by one of my go-to authors. Ilsa Madden-Mills is one of my favorites and I have been anticipating I Bet You since I finished I Dare You a few months ago. Needless to say, I dropped out of life for the time it took to consume I Bet You and it was more than worth the insane amounts of laundry and cleaning I had to do today to make up for lost time.

 

Ilsa Madden-Mills is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling author. Her track record for releasing outstanding romances speaks for itself and calling her one of my favorite authors is not an exaggeration by any stretch of the imagination. Other than the fact that she pens stories which are unputdownable—they are consistently original, fun, and sexy—there is something about her heroes and heroines that just grab your attention. Heroes like Ryker, heroes who are that perfect balance of cocky, alpha and gentleman willing to go to great lengths for the woman he loves. And there is certainly no denying the appeal of a heroine who’s strong, intelligent and brave (read: Penelope). Am I intriguing you yet? I’ve found that each and every one of Ilsa Madden-Mills hero and heroines meets these characteristics and if you are anything like me, you will find them easy to get lost in much like the storylines of Ilsa’s books.

 

I Bet You is Ryker Voss and Penelope Graham’s love story. Ryker is QB1 for his college football team whose lost his shot at The Heisman Trophy after an expose written by none other than Penelope. While the two have spent three years at the same school, they’ve never run into one another before but that all changes after Penelope’s coverage of a football fighting ring. Now they are seeing each other everywhere and with each interaction, their fascination for one another grows… and the sexual tension mounts! Be prepared for a slow-burn, sexy YA romance that will leave you wanting to return to college. Or at least, a college experience like Ilsa Madden-Mills paints! The sheer chemistry between Ryker and Penelope alone made the book worth wild, to say nothing of the sexy times which I certainly enjoyed! 😉 I Bet You was hot for sure, but I truly loved the wit and banter between the pair every bit as much… and Penelope’s journal entries as well! I Bet You is the second book in The Hook Up series by Ilsa Madden-Mills. Although part of a series, these sports romances can be read as standalones. Of course, as soon as you read one, you’re going to want to read the other, so do yourself a favor and just buy them both and dig in! You’ll be thanking me! Ilsa Madden-Mills latest, I Bet You, is another five-star romance that you can. not. miss!
