She’s the one bet I can’t resist...

I-BET-You-REALFINAL-3.jpg

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

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?

Omg Lindsay!!!! I freaking loved this book!

OMGSOGOODHE'SMINEANDIWON'TSHARE

we are not starting this argument!

LOL. There's no argument....I called it before you read the book! πŸ˜œ

Can we at least make halfway through the review first?!

Lol. We COULD but...then I wouldn't be me. So, now that we've established that fact... THE BOOK WAS FREAKING AMAZING

Mmhmmm
Yes it was! I literally read it in one sitting and didn't go to bed until I was finished.... Thanks for the warning btw πŸ˜œ

OMG ME TOO
And what's even worse, I didn't get to finish it before work so (shhhhh!) I finished it at work! πŸ™ˆ

Lol with this book, I think you totally get a pass! I sure as hell would have done the same thing!

I'll admit, with their first meeting, and how they were harassing her in the diner, I was worried
I don't mind jerks, but I didn't want him to be a bully to her, or allow his friends to bully her and humiliate her
But I was more than pleasantly surprised with how things went.
And I loved how he just couldn't look away from her, and how he asked her to do laundry with him! That was the sweetest thing ever. And that's when I knew he was totally gone for her.

Ooooo me too! That was dicey for a minute. There are some lines that once crossed, you just can't come back from!

Exactly.
And don't get me wrong, there ARE books out there where he's a bully to her and the author makes it work, but with how things started, I didn't want that here.

I concur. And even though we didn't get his POV in that scene, I still gelt like I could feel good genuine attraction to her she I loved it!

I'm completely with you. And for a player, who's experienced with women, I loved how unsure he was and how he bumbled asking her out. LAUNDRY. Of all the things he could have said, or things he could have asked her to do, he asked her to do laundry.

πŸ˜‚ Right! It was so cute

I loved Penelope too. I loved how even though she had a crush on "her perfect guy" she couldn't keep Ryker off of her mind...and out of her notebook πŸ˜‰

Right! She was awesome! I loved how even though she was kinda shy and nerdy she stuck up for herself and gave as good as she got! I loved her!!

One of the best things about Ryker was that he didn't take the bet to sleep with Penelope. He kept saying no. He went after her because he wanted it, it had nothing to do with the bed. And since I'm on the subject...I'm just gonna go on record and say I hated Archer and he didn't get what he deserved. He deserved much worse.

Yessss!!! Omg I so agree with you about Archer! What a douche canoe! And I also loved that Ryker didn't take that bet. It made it easier to take the big blown out when she found out for me. I didn't cringe too bad lol

I cringed when Ryker was an idiot and went off on Archer, saying things he shouldn't have. I knew right then that things were going to blow up. But since he didn't take the bet, I had faith that things wouldn't be too bad

Yup. I literally showed shouted noooo to my Kindle !
SMH... But he'd reached his breaking point so I could kind of understand

Oh, I could totally understand...didn't mean I wasn't doing a facepalm when he did that. Like you, I was literally like OMG YOU IDIOT

Exactly!
I loved the ending and I really think this was a perfect book!

I totally agree with you. This is one I'd love to get a signed paperback of.

Absolutely!

So final rating? I'm a 5 all the way!

Duh!!! 5 stars!!
