Review
For sparkling-vampires sake! I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills is a surprisingly impressive masterpiece. This book is a unique unicorn. No one writes passionate, intense and scorching sports romances like Ilsa. Her male characters are intense with capital letters and sexy AF! Who can resist a hot football player? There has been a soft spot in my heart reserved for cheeky athletes, especially infuriating American football players. Gosh! Ilsa delivered a mind-blowing and steamy sports romance with soft touches of enemies-to-lovers-romance. That is a spicy combination that will make you blush like a teenager. I Bet You is a touchdown direct to your heart! It has all the feels. It is a glittery perfect & read!
This book is a college romance filled with broken down emotions that will drag you with want and like a sparkling vampire it will blind you and it will leave you drooling over the strong alpha male character because Ryker worth it. There is something really special and surreal when it comes to Ilsa’s books. She drags you from the first chapters until you can’t stop yourself and you devour the whole book in one sitting. It is like her writing lulls you in a bookish comma.
This is about a nerdy, beautiful, auburn girl trying not to fall for the hot football player and failing miserably because honestly, hot athletes are gods sent to earth to tempt quite little girls into falling into sinful and ravishing desires. It is quite poetic, isn’t it?
Penelope and Ryker’s story has beautiful disaster written all over. The attraction is there consuming their toughs and keeping distance to resist it is a herculean effort. The sparks between them will start a fire that will consume their bodies to ashes! Penelope is not the kind of girl a boy should not fool around because she is to be taken seriously, and she is a good one. She is really skittish to get involved with a football player because her mother did it and it ended badly. She doesn’t need to date a douchebag like her father was. Ryker is the temptation she should resist but how could you resist a cheeky and irresistible quarterback if he does sweet things for you. Will she taste the forbidden fruit?
Ryker is the hot football star at Waylon. He is what girls call a “sexy athlete”. He is the golden boy, the player that broke hearts and beds. Figuring him out is hard to play. However he is a tempting mysterious. Football is his thing and writing is for Penelope but when it comes to the game of love there will be other priorities. Like superman, he has a weakness and it has a name! Penelope. She is not the type of girls he “does laundry with”. She is more special but the repelling feeling she has toward him made it hard for him. Betting is a game. Playing is easy but winning love is a beautiful touch down!
I Bet You is like smelling rainbows*, it is a wonderful read. It’s charming, funny, nerdy and sexy with a bit of drama and angst. Just perfect! College romances could be a little cliché but trust me, this book is everything but cliché. Ilsa manages to refresh it like a pro with the blush of young and true love conquering all.
J'aime le fait que les protagonistes féminines de la série Ilsa Madden Mills « The Hook Up » soient un peu ringard, un peu bizarre et nous ressemblent beaucoup (filles qui adorent lire des livres, qui sont obsédées par l'amour des romans amoureux).
I absolutely recommend you this book. It is a perfect swoon-worthy read that will wrap you like a taquito. If you love Twilight, sparkling vampires and nerdy t-shirts, you will be really getting yourself indentified pretty quickly with the heroine in this book.
* If you don’t know how the rainbows smell, ask Ryker ;)
