I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There really is fate. There really is emotion that transcends sorrow and sadness, those pains merely preparing you to accept the sweetness in life. Love.

I was relaly looking forward to Ryker's story after reading Maverick's and this didn't disappoint! Ryker is total book boyfriend material. Handsome, charming, talented, a little bit too much of a manwhore before meeting our heroine, but 3 outta 4 ain't bad right!? Despite his manwhore past he really was a super sweet and caring guy. You can tell he will do anything for those he loves.

I loved Penelope in this. She was strong and sassy and her and Ryker were just the perfect match. She had some issues of her own to work through with a Former NFL playing father who was absent while growing up but is now back with his new family in tow to make amends and a mother who passed away recently. She is a bit standoffish with Ryker at first due to her history, but you see their relationship develop in the best way.

This book was filled with sexual tension and I LOVED IT! Not even a ton of sexy scenes, but I like the tension part better than anything else as long as it is done well.

This was a fun story, similar to The Deal by Elle Kennedy, but with football instead of hockey, and that is one of my favorite books of all time!
You get a fun, steamy College romance with a sexy book boyfriend, no cheating, no OW drama, and an HEA. Can't go wrong!
