I Bet You
by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I am 100% completely in love with this book. No questions asked. No doubt in my mind. I Bet You is the most excellent example of what a sports romance should be. I love nothing more than a sweet, swoony New Adult Romance and I Bet You hit every single one of my marks.
First off, you have Ryker Voss. Quarterback. Big Man on Campus. The guy every girl wants to be with. I mean, I wanted to be with him as soon as he was introduced. And I definitely wanted Penelope to be with him. But beyond all of the bravado that is Ryker Voss, was a troubled 20 year old with too much pressure mounted on his shoulders, and a lot of internal conflict that needed to be solved. This is what made me fall in love with him.
Penelope Graham is quirky and loves vampires. In one of the first scenes of the book, she’s wearing a Forks Twilight sweatshirt and I immediately knew I wanted to be her best friend. She’s funny, and quirky, and isn’t afraid to be herself. She knew who she was. She was a reader of romance novels, a lover of vampire movies, and the fun girl who had a parrot named Vampire Bill. There wasn’t one thing about her that I didn’t immediately fall in love with. She was the type of heroine I could really get behind because I saw so much of myself in her. And when she was with Ryker it was electric. Plus listening to her inner monologues where she inserted him into her pirate romances was rom-com gold!
I Bet You is the first book I’ve ever read by Isla Madden-Mills. I’m way behind on the train on this one, and think I might even have one of hers sitting on my bookcase that I got in a box a while back. But this book called to me, and the cover was so well done, I couldn’t help but pick it up and I’m eternally grateful that I did. Madden-Mills writing is on fire, and I flew through this book, finding it hard to put it down. Only because I knew I had to be up the next morning at 5 am, did I force myself to shut off my kindle and close my eyes. Now I can’t wait to see what other treasures she has in store for me!
