I Bet You
by Ilsa Madden-Mills
Sweet and sexy college football romances like I Bet You is why I love New Adult Books. The nerdy romance book loving heroine and the hot jock should not work together but they DO! The perfect blend of humor and swoon made this one enjoyable read.
The dynamics of Penelope's and Ryker's relationship were quite interesting. They start off as sort of enemies but then Ryker, as a peace offering, tries to help Penelope get a date with another guy she has had a crush on. I was slightly annoyed with Ryker for helping her get another guy when he was obviously into her but I got over that pretty quickly. So then they actually become friends but the chemistry between them cannot be denied and Penelope learns very quickly where her feelings lie. No worries, this is not a love triangle in any way.
The sexual tension between these two was off the charts! Ryker also turns out to have a swoon worthy romantic side. I will say I found the "You complete me" line a tad cheesy because only Jerry McGuire can pull that off. However, I really did love what a sweet boyfriend he was. If watching twilight doesn't show you care then I don't know what will.
Dumb male adolescent behaviour is thrown into the mix when Ryker is offered a bet by his fellow teammates that will undoubtledly hurt Penelope if she finds out. This added some mild angst to the story and I enjoyed watching this play out. I loved the traces of humor in this book! A parrot who likes to curse, unicorn glitter lotion, a fascination with chest hair and terms like titlets really pull this book all together.
If you're looking for a fun, light college romance with humor and swoon, go check this one out!
