I Dare You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

cassire's review against another edition

5.0

Ilsa hit this book out of the park! I absolutely adored this book. Nerd girl meets football star. Awesome, unicorn magic happens. This book is about Delaney, nerd girl, and Maverick, football star. I love both of these characters. Delaney is very easy to relate to. I fell very hard for Maverick. I enjoyed I Dare You from start to finish. It appears that I Dare You is just the first book in a standalone series. I could not be more excited for this next book. I'm very interested to see who will be the main characters in the next book.

Great NA Book, with love, lust, hate, and learning a valuable lesson. This book was not super cutesy as some NA Romance can be. The pacing was fantastic, there were no lulls in the story. There was always something going on making me want to flip the page. There was always a twist or turn around a corner. Well done with this book. Told in dual pov.

Love the nerdy girl lead

Nerdy girls can be sexy, and I love that Delaney is a one. I love this author's writing style and verse. She really got me hooked. Couldn't put it down!

 Quickie Review-May contain spoilers upon reading this review.

I Dare You is the first book in this NA series by Ilsa Madden-Mills. This is an author that I have been meaning to read much more of. But I have to say that I really loved this one. It was unique and fun and love what it showcases here. I also enjoy it when a story battles stereotypes and I really enjoyed the way that it was built throughout the story. And the way that our hero pines for the heroine was delectable. I actually loved the hero, he has so much complexity to his character and I found it to be so refreshing. It was fascinating seeing how their romance built throughout the story. The heroine has recently been cheated on and she is really struggling with that plus not knowing if she can trust the hero. And it was so fun seeing these two battle it out and find some common ground and learning to build some trust within each other. Just simply a delight to read and is the type of read that will keep you late up all night. very eager to see what this author delivers for the rest of the series. And as a plus this book is a freebie on Amazon, so I highly recommend this one.

I love a good sports story and ms mills didn't disappoint with this one.
this story has a hot NFL player and a book nerd girl.
I was so consumed with this book I devoured it.
I highly reccomend this to everyone.
