## Description

From #1 desertcart Charts and WSJ Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes an all-new swoony romance between the football hottie and the mystery girl he kissed years before… 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. She’ll spark a passion so fierce you’ll burn the world down to possess her. You might even put a ring on it. But...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 plucky 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? Author’s Note: I Promise You is a complete stand-alone college sports romance. Expect hot football jocks, strong women with pluck, a tell-it-like-it-is Nana, deep feels, fun banter, and a sigh-worthy happy ending. No cheating or cliff-hangers. *Also read I Dare You, I Bet You, and I Hate You, ALL STAND-ALONE COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROMANCES.

Review: Five Star Read with plenty of steam and LOL moments! - I Promise You, Ilsa Madden-Mills newest second chance, sports romance is everything! Five years ago, I discovered an author I literally couldn’t get enough of although at the time and she couldn’t write fast enough to satisfy my avid (or perhaps rabid would be the better choice? 😉) enthusiasm! That author was Ilsa Madden-Mills and to this day, I devour each and every word she writes with a zeal I reserve solely for her storytelling! Every single time I see that Ilsa’s got a new book coming out, I’m all about turning my schedule around and upside down to get an early bloggers copy and devouring the story in one go. And that’s EXACTLY what I do. I don’t go to sleep until I read them cover to cover. And it’s a solid fact that it’s impossible to go wrong with any book Ilsa’s written. Whether you’re looking for your next favorite author, or a single read to pass the time, you’re sure to love any book written by IMM. Ilsa’s most recent series is the Waylon U books, which are sports romances and share the same motif…or in this case, the university's legend: “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.” The legend at Waylon University brought about a sexy series of interconnected, heartfelt, contemporary romance standalones which include: I Dare You, I Bet You, I Hate You and now, I Promise You. These books can be read entirely independently and out of order but if you are anything like me, you’ll pick up the first and binge read all. Ilsa’s writing is lightly angsty, sexy, heartfelt and at times, down right LOL funny. The banter between the characters is usually some of my favorite parts of the story and she includes secondary characters that you are just dying to get to know and see in their own spin-offs. I Promise You is Dillion McQueen’s book, a secondary character featured most prominently in I Bet You. He’s the football team captain now that Ryker’s graduated and the quarterback with an ax to grind and a burning desire to prove himself. He’s handsome, charming and has the ladies falling at his feet… literally. But Dillion is so much more than the guy he portrays—he’s slightly broke, and completely hung up on a girl he kissed his at his freshman bonfire and hasn’t seen anywhere since. He’s adorably awkward at times and overconfident at others but it’s the perfect blend. Enter heroine, Serena Jenson, the quirky journalist and lover of words who is barely hanging on with the weight of the world on her shoulders… until Dillion and his entourage of beauties show up in the Piggly Wiggly turning her world topsy turvy. Until the chance to have a little fun at the cocky football player’s expense…and dine on the $500 bet she has going with her co-workers. She’s awkward and shy and bold all at once and I was instantly intrigued. Her life has been full of tragedy and yet, her family life is rich and one of my favorite things about her! Raising her 17-year-old little sister with her Grandmother had me rolling with laughter and no joke, my husband kicking me out of the room at 3 am because he couldn’t sleep with my nonstop ‘baying’. (But I digress… ) Dillion and Serena’s characters were perfectly penned to pull at your heartstrings and root for their HEA from the beginning. Their chemistry is undeniable and the. Neither character has had it easy and the pull they feel towards one another is startling but while one is willing to chase it down and hold on tight, the other practically sprints the opposite direction to kept the chance at more heartbreak at bay. You’ll be swooning over Dillion from the very beginning—I was. Yet, between the trip to the Safari Park and the midnight Paintball raid, I completely fell hook, line and sinker for Dillion and dubbed him my newest book boyfriend—as I’m sure you will as well! If you’re a fan of contemporary or sports romance, you’ll can go wrong with I Promise You. It’s perfectly paced and well written to keep you turning page after page until you too have devoured the book in one sitting! I Promise You is without a doubt your next five star read. It’s a charming, steamy, second chance at love that will sell you instantly on Ilsa Madden-Mills storytelling prowess and have you one-clicking every single book she’s written!
Review: An awesome book-Hot off the press! - I went into I Promise You not liking our Hero, Dillon. He was a character in I Hate You. I didn't find him funny when he talked about how hot he was. It was a turn off. It gave me the impression that he was a tool. So, I had to make myself read this book. Well, I'm glad I read it. The Dillon in this book was nothing like the Dillon in the previous book in the series. What a relief that was. He was real, and genuine, and although he still had a healthy ego, it was small enough to fit inside his helmet. He was likeable and committed to Serena so it was easy to see the attraction. Serena was smart and a little damaged, as well. She was pretty confident and strong so she did everything she could to keep him at a distance. The chemistry was there to stay. Of course, things never go that way but I won't say anymore. Serena's family were a bit on the crazy side but it only added some fun. Then there were the Thetas but these became friends with Serena because they weren't of the mean girl Thetas. They also might lead to future books or not. But never say never. Dillon's roomies and the rookey he was babysitting were fun, as well. I have a soft spot for Owen. And to bring it altogether we have an author who excels in college sports romance. She knows how to build her characters and write a story that pulls you in and makes you feel everything they feel and like it. There is just one tiny thing that bugged me in this book. The word grouse or grouses is an ugly word and it's a bird. It was used eight times in the story. Correctly, I must add. I'm just a weirdo. I wish the author had used a few different synonyms in place of a few grouses so it wouldn't stand out to me and distract me from the story. It's probably more me than anyone else but I needed to get it out, just in case. The book is still another great story, from a great series, from a great author. I definitely recommend it for those who love this trope as much as I do. I'm giving it 4.5 shiny stars, a thumbs up, and a heart emoji. ***I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review.***

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dillon is boyfriend of the year and Serena will have you laughing!
*by E***R on October 21, 2020*

'I Promise You' was such a sweet and beautiful journey of two people that have lost so much. At Waylon University there is a superstition that if you kiss someone at the bonfire your freshman year you are fated to them. Dillon fell into a trance the moment he laid eyes on Serena at that bonfire. He couldn't stop himself as he walked right up to her danced a while and then kissed her. The rest was history.... 3 years later when they met again! Dillon!!! Are there really men out there like you?? Dillon ultimately falls for Serena from that one kiss. So the superstition has to be real, right? After that night he searched high and low for Serena, but never finds her. 3 years later, it's his turn to shine as quarterback for Waylon. He's in his prime, except Serena is still stuck in his head. He's had relationships, but never nothing serious. My heart broke for Dillon. Tragedy struck his family before starting college, his dad moved across the country, and his mom only cared about herself. Dillon was so alone. But, even after all that, Dillon is BOYFRIEND GOALS. Ilsa Madden-Mills did a wonderful job developing his character. I love how he chased after what he wanted and never gave up. He is the epitome of sweet. Serena endured so much. Tragedy struck her family as well, around the same time it struck Dillon's. And then it was like a tumbleweed after that. She met a guy, got in a relationship with said guy and it was really all about him. CRAPPY RELATIONSHIP. This relationship broke her in so many different ways that will not be mentioned. So, Serena has trust issues. My heart broke for her as well. This girl needed a hug. But, at the same time she was a strong and fierce woman and I admire that in a heroine. And, she was hilarious. Serena's character was a perfect match for Dillon. 3 years later, Dillon and Serena run into each other at the Piggly Wiggly (which is probably one of the best scenes in the book). They had me cracking up. She didn't recognize him at first and it took him a second to recognize her. He was upset that she didn't recognize him at first, but once that was worked out all was good. They had a slow burn, but the sexual tension between them was something to be said. They had great chemistry! I love how Dillon was always in her corner and made her feel special and wanted. They both had some jealous tendencies, which made them feel so real, because come on who doesn't feel jealous every now and then. The supporting characters were fabulous. Nana was my favorite and Romy was raw and real. I, also, loved Dillon and Owen's relationship turned out. And, the Theta girls were great additions; even Ashley because who doesn't love a little drama! All in all, it was a really sweet story and low on the angst. You will fall in love with Dillon and be rooting for Serena all the way. This was a perfect addition to the Waylon University books. Thank you Ilsa Madden-Mills for another great book! Now I need an Owen Sinclair book; wishful thinking, obviously.
