BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: I Promise You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

 

Will this quarterback score the girl or make the biggest fumble of his life?

I Promise You, an all-new unforgettable, new adult, sports romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is available now!

Dillon McQueen: Babe. I promise. You want me.
Serena Jensen: Um, who are you?

There’s a legend at Waylon University: the first girl you kiss freshman year at the bonfire party is the one you’ll never forget. She’ll crawl under your skin and never leave. She’ll spark a passion so fierce you’ll burn the world down to possess her.

You might even put a ring on it.

As in all things with fate, timing is everything. That kiss can go horribly wrong. She might run in the opposite direction. And boy, did Serena run.

Dillon is Waylon’s hotshot quarterback with something to prove. All he wants is to graduate and make it to the NFL. What he doesn’t need is to finally meet the mystery girl he kissed at the bonfire freshman year. Isn’t it enough that she’s haunted his dreams for more than a thousand nights?

Fate laughs in his face when he runs into the quirky girl at the Piggly Wiggly. Surrounded by his entourage, he’s got all the Oreos in his cart; she gets revenge by buying every six-pack of his favorite beer.

Obviously, that legend is a curse. She’s not his type and hates him. Worst of all, how can she not remember him when she left a Serena-shaped hole in his heart for the past three years?

So why can’t he stop trying to win her?

Will this quarterback score the girl or make the biggest fumble of his life?

5 Dandelion-stars!

"She doesn't know that I've compared every girl I met to her, and they always came up short. All over a kiss!"

When Dillon McQueen was a freshman at Waylon University, he met Serena Jensen at the bonfire party, and kissed her. He knew about the old legend yet he was almost helpless in his reaction to her. Three years later, their paths cross at the Piggly Wiggly but neither are quite in the best place for each other, but there's no denying the pull between them.

"He's exactly my type: sexy as hell with issues. Must. Stop. Thinking. About. Him."

This book was another winner from one of my favourite authors! I adored Dillon - he was funny, sweet, vulnerable yet masculine, and so caring; all rolled up into one beautiful package. I loved the way this practiced charmer fumbled his words around Serena. He was simultaneously confident and unsure when it came to her, worried that he'd overstepped yet not tried hard enough. My heart hurt for him and the pain he carried around with him. Serena was a fantastic female character. She was sassy, quirky, and loyal. I loved her fun facts. I loved her big heart and how much she valued her family. She also carried around some old grief that made her wary about Dillon, but I loved that she could see his true self. They fitted so well together - they had so much in common and their attraction was electric and undeniable. I absolutely adored them together.

Excerpt:

The kiss burns a hole right through me and blood rushes to my groin. I’m in over my head—Who cares?—and I groan, deepening our connection. My hands slide down her cheeks, her throat, then to her arms at her sides. Our joined breaths mingling, I trace my thumbs over the rapid pulse in her wrists. My head swims with images of her body draped on top of me—
A cry comes from her as she breaks away from our kiss. “Jerk! Don’t do that. I don’t know you!”
“You liked it, babe.”
“What? No.”
“I’m Dillon.”
“Um, I don’t care. Step away.”
“What’s your name? You got a number?” Dillon McQueen does not give up easily. When he sees what he wants, he goes after it. He also sometimes talks about himself in the third person. “Are you a freshman? I play football. Quarterback.” Usually that’s enough to catch a girl’s interest.
She shakes her head, looking almost surprised as she touches her lips briefly. I think she mutters pigskin-toting Casanova. Then, she flips around.
“No, wait! Don’t go!” I say, reaching out for her, but she’s gone, daring one look over her shoulder as she disappears into the crowd of people.
I take off after her, navigating through the throng, jostling into dancers. One of them, a big barrel-chested guy, shoves at me when I bump into him. I fall on my ass. Heart pounding, I scramble back up, dirt and grass on me as I dart through the crowd and look around. My height gives me a decent vantage point, but she’s vanished.
Off in the distance, the football guys hoot my name, then chant Venus over and over.
Well, hell. The bonfire got me good. She’s gone.
Legend 1, Dillon 0.
