Sexy Athlete: I bet you…

The late night text is random but Penelope knows exactly who “Sexy Athlete” is. And why she shouldn't take his wager.
Ryker Voss.
Football star.
Walks on water and God's gift to women.
Just ask him. 
His bet? He promises Penelope he’ll win her the heart of the nerdy guy she’s been crushing on. His plan—good old-fashioned jealousy. Once her crush sees her kissing Ryker, he'll realize what he's missing. Sounds legit, right? The only question is…why is Ryker being so nice to her?
Penelope Graham.
Virgin.
Lover of sparkly vampires and calculus.
His mortal enemy.
Penelope knows she shouldn’t trust a jock, but what’s a girl to do when she needs a date to Homecoming? And Ryker’s keeping a secret, another bet, one that could destroy Penelope’s heart forever.
Will the quarterback score the good girl or will his secret mean everyone loses at this game of love?
Find out in this all-new standalone novel…








"I Bet You is a charming, sexy, funny and downright swoony romance set amongst all of the delicious fun of college football in the South. It's damn good." Mary at USA Today HEA⁣ 
"You find me someone better that writes football players... I'll be waiting because you'll never find better than Ilsa." We Like Them Dark, Goodreads⁣
"I Bet You is enemies-to-lovers GOLD. I devoured this funny, feel-good perfection in ONE DAY!" Dylan Allen, Bestselling Author⁣




Gotta say, I went into this book attempting to have an open mind because it had two things I'm not really into going for it. A jock and the characters were 21 yr old college kids, (yep kids to me I'm a bit over the hill) but the author was the reason I gave it a shot and I can't say I'm disappointed!

Penelope was pretty great, I love a strong heroine and she did her best. She's loyal and doesn't take any crap from Ryker.
Ryker on the other hand took some warming up to. He was what seems to be your typical quarterback. Blond, sexy and so full of himself you roll your eyes while reading. He and his buddies are constantly making bets about anything and everything but then Penelope becomes one of those bets. 
He grows throughout the book, that's his only saving grace because in all honesty I wanted to hate him.

Sexy Athlete: I bet you…
Penelope Graham: Burn in hell, quarterback. 

Priceless. 
Penelope truly is amazing, she's got her act together and attempts to make a go of something with the QB who seems to be trying to grow up. Too bad there's the matter of a little bet she has yet to learn about..
Going in trying to keep an open mind worked out, in the end I kinda loved Ryker, always loved Pen, and found that a college aged book can work for me on occasion.
