Sexy AthleteI bet you . . .
Penelope GrahamBurn in hell, quarterback.

The text is random but Penelope figures out 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 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 will destroy Penelope’s heart forever.

Will the quarterback score the good girl or will his secrets mean everyone loses this game of love?

❝I'm going to show you the whole fucking world.❞

This was a cute, sweet and light-weight story. A quick and easy read, but really nothing that remarkable that would make me say w o w

The story picked off pretty quickly and the plot was predictable and really nothing new. It's not a book that'll stay for me and something I'll remember in the long run, but it was still funny and served its purpose.

It's a typical quarterback story with the hot main guy (that surprisingly isn't too big of an asshole, in fact, he is unnaturally trying too hard to be nice at times) and with an unnoticed, virgin girl. 

Honestly, the whole story just felt a little quickly thrown together at times with Ryker's reason for 'hating' Penelope, but suddenly taking a liking to her and Penelope being a Twilight obsessed virgin that wrote super erotic weird stories that really weren't good, but ending up as a successful writer anyway.

I don't know, this didn't work for me like I thought it would, but it is what it is. I got through it.

This is one of those light and feel-good books, so if you ever need something really light, yet still sweet and funny, look no further.
