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?

Oh this was fun!
Ms Mills brings us back to Waylon University in the school year following the events in I Dare You. We met Ryker and several secondary characters in the previous book, but this is a complete standalone.
I loved the connection between Ryker and Penelope from the very beginning! They both have a little bit of baggage from their childhoods and parental relationships and that affects how they interact.
Ryker is a much sweeter guy than I would have expected for a starting quarterback. That made his approach and courtship of Penelope that much better.
As much as this is Penelope and Ryker’s romantic story, there is also a strong secondary story for Penelope, her father, and her stepsister. Meeting her Dad made me curious about his story (please?!).
Well written (as expected) this is an entertaining entry from Ms Mills! YA isn’t typically my jam, but this author makes me fall a little bit in love and I can’t wait to see what comes next for the Waylon Wildcats.
