Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills returns with an all-new swoon-fest of a novel about what happens when you look beyond labels and take a chance on love. 
I love when I sit down to write reviews, sometimes I have all the words itching to be typed out onto my keyboard and other times, I just sit here, staying at my screen figuring out how to start the damn review. And that can either be a good thing or bad thing. In this case, it’s good.
I Bet You is a college sports romance – second in a series but can be read out of order. I hadn’t realized this was in a series til I added it to my goodreads shelf and saw that there was another book before this. Ilsa does a great job of keeping this story a true inter-connected standalone.
I am not going to surmise the book – the blurb does that for you. I enjoyed this book for its simplicity and practicality of the plot. There isn’t a lot of over the top, unnecessary drama or any of the nasty cattiness between the women either. Ilsa stays focused on the main plot and focuses on the budding of Penelope and Ryker’s friendship.
Ilsa stays true to her characters are and never has them acting out of character or changing their ways to be more what the other person wants. The flow of the story is perfect and the added witty commentary is a perfect blend to the story.
I really enjoyed the story and characters. There wasn’t anything that makes this book stand out from others, but I found myself really enjoying the normalcy vibe it gave off and how easily relatable and real the story felt. I will definitely be checking out the first book in this series as I am intrigued to how Maverick’s story came to be.
