I Promise You by Ilsa Madden-Mills
5.0

I Promise You captivated me from the very start. I love the Waylon University crew, but Dillon and Serena quickly became my favorite couple to date!

It all started with a kiss at a bonfire when Dillon was a freshman. Flashforward years later, he is a senior and focusing on football and leading the team to another championship. Serena is trying to finish grad school, take care of her sister and her nana and move on from the pain of the past.

I LOVED Serena. She is hardworking, she loves her family, she has a quirky side which involves sharing super random facts when she is nervous (which I learned a few random things from her). She also has walls up around her heart, she doesn’t just let anyone one. She’s struggled and experienced pain in her 24 years that most people haven’t by that age. Dillon is so many different sides to him, too. He is caring, sweet, but he is also broken. He has gone through his own struggles and they aren’t things that he really opens up about with anyone. The two of them together have so much chemistry. They both needed each other to heal.

I Promise You is emotional, angsty, swoony, steamy, and sweet. It is the perfect combination of everything I love and add in that it is a sports romance this book is a TOUCHDOWN and worth all the Oreo’s!
