Story
I haven't seen her in three years. I haven't talked to her since the kiss. So why am I on a plane, flying across the world to spend a week with her in Germany? One word: Pops. My life’s a mess. My possible football career is hanging on by a thread. I'm driving the roads of Germany in honor of Pops with the one girl I can never have. And I’m sharing a bed with her, the girl I've measured everyone else up to, while desperately trying to not to touch her. We made a pact growing up, never to get romantic with each other - never fall in love.

Story
It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. Fast forward a decade. We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

Story
I’ve tried to like Adrian Savage, the mercurial frontman for Fugitive Summer, while serving as his band’s opening act on tour. We’re stuck together for three months, after all. And I’m well aware I’m lucky to be here. But it’s proved impossible. He’s far too rude and dismissive a guy to get along with. And way too good at getting under my skin. In fact, at this point, I think it’s fair to say I downright hate his guts.

Story
Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

Story
Six years ago, Eden barged into my life and turned everything upside down. We spent one scorching-hot night together, and then she disappeared into the sunset with the golden jock everyone adored. Which makes sense, right? A girl as beautiful and brilliant as Eden Wynn doesn’t end up with a rebel like me. I expected them to live happily ever after, but that's not what happened. She's back in my life - and tempting me like no one else has. And while I'm certain I'll only tarnish her shine, I want her.

To be “just friends” with a guy, you’ve got to follow The Rules: Don’t touch him unnecessarily. Don’t share your intimate dreams with him (even if he asks). Don’t kiss him, and definitely don’t sleep with him. Scout Dunne and I have been “just friends” since childhood. I’m one of the few people who knows the first-round NFL draft pick wants more than a life of sports.

Let me make a few things clear. I didn't go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended. But you know how it goes. Things just happen at weddings.... The next day, Crosby and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous all-star baseball player might be my brother's best friend, but he's my friend too and has been for years, so it's easy to move on, especially since I have a high-profile business to run.

Emotional & Complicated! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- By Rachel on 28-11-2020
Publisher's Summary
Number One Book in the Entire Amazon Store
Number one Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers an all-new emotional and twisty enemies-to-lovers romance that blurs the lines between revenge and love....
River Tate is a god on campus.
The king of football.
A tattooed bad boy with gunmetal eyes that see right through you.
The only chink in his armor is HER, the girl he pretends doesn't exist, the forbidden one with the shy smile and lavender hair.
Anastasia Bailey is a nobody.
The queen of nothing.
An outsider with the face of an angel and a body made for sin.
The only chink in her armor is HIM, her boyfriend's frat brother, the football player who hates her.
But when Anastasia's life comes crashing down, River's the one who sweeps in and saves her.
Torn between loyalty, lies, and secrets, he battles the temptation to take everything from her when they make their revenge pact.
He can't tell her no.
Because revenge (or love) is sweet, and once you get a taste, the craving never ends.
The Revenge Pact is an angsty college sports romance with a beautiful HEA. No cliffhanger. Other interconnected standalone books in this series: The Romantic Pact by Meghan Quinn; The Relationship Pact by Adriana Locke.

Very Cute YA listen
This will be an atypical opinion for Ilsa Madden-Mills from me.. I usually throughly enjoy her work, and while this listen was good, it is not her best effort. This story involves two young people who were attracted to each other, but ultimately did not date. A year later, things begin to change in their lives and its a loooonnnngggg path for them to find each other. This story was nice, but it is not one I would listen to again. The unrequited love pushed my patience. The performance was stellar and probably saved the listen. Overall I would not recommend a credit, but wait for a sale or the PLUS catalog.

The Revenge Pact
The Revenge Pact is the first book in the Kings of Football series. This book is told from dual points of view from River and Anastasia (Ana).
When this book starts out Ana is in a relationship with one of River's roommates. They don't really like each other, and try to stay away from each other, however deep down River has always had feelings for Ana, but her boyfriend claimed her first.
River has some learning problems, and is struggling in a class they have together and Ana ends up tutoring him. Ana's boyfriend learns stuff about her past and comes out with it very publicly and embarrasses her. River is there for her in her time of need.
Ana decided she needs a rebound from her boyfriend, and asks River to help her. Their feelings grow, the more they spend together. Can they find her a rebound? How does River take it when she wants someone else, when he's had feelings for her? What happens when her boyfriend wants her back?
I enjoyed this story, and can't wait to see what happens next in the series.

Slooooow Burn, but worth it
The dialogue in this book is what made this book worth a credit. Yes, during first 30% the two love interests weren’t together & it did drag on too long but still good story. Good not great, but filled the time: I think a little more about River & Ana

Dream a little dream 🦄🌈
There’s only one person in the world who makes the hair on my nape rise. Him. And by him, I mean that egotistical bad boy who thinks he’s God’s gift. River Tate—AKA Perfect Guy from the night I met Donovan.—River & Anastasia are fated to be together it just takes them a while to get on the same page;)
Life is just one breath away from death. Every single MFing second counts.—I absolutely love this line!! No truer words or advice can be given!!
River is a genuinely great guy. He believes in honesty, family & loyalty. But his loyalty could cost him his fate. Luckily for him Donavan is a dumba$$ and does not believe in the same things that River does. My heart soared for River & Anastasia when they finally admit their feelings for each other❤️
Gah! The epilogue is everything on so many levels! River’s mom’s diagnosis & his NFL team are perfect. His dad was certainly with him:)
“Life is tough, Mr. Tate. You’ll figure it out once college is over.” Oh, man, he went there. “Agreed, life is rarely fair.” I nod as I stick my hands into my pockets. “But the next time you know a kid has issues in your class, maybe try some understanding. I’m not talking about an athlete like me. They might be a regular person, the kind who’s talented in other ways, but if someone asks them to read, their throat closes up. This class was a mountain to me, Dr. Whitman. I climbed it. Fair and square.”
**as a mom of a son with reading comprehension issues this quote is everything!

Just okay...
2.5 stars ⭐️⭐️½
All I can say is The Revenge Pact was just okay. I’ve read better by Ilsa Madden-Mills. However it was a cute read and had some swooning moments.
This was basically insta-love book. Yes, it does say enemies-to-lovers Romance, but that was very short lived. I really didn’t get that vibe from either characters that they disliked each other. It was more of bickering back-and-forth.
River has been in love with Ana aka Anastasia since day one when he helped his friend Donovan hook up with her. Of course Ana is clueless to this and thinks he hates her, but River can’t do anything about it because he’s the President of his fraternity and Donovan is one of his Frat Brothers.
Most of the book is River pining over Anastasia (which is a change for once) and him denying what he feels for Anastasia because he can’t cross that line...Blah blah blah…
So I’ll finish with this ~ As River would say… “give me three things”
3 things I liked…
1. The FMC could hold her own. ( that is always a plus in my opinion)
2. The story was cute, funny and emotional. (I like a book with a variety of Emotions)
3. Not much OW drama (which is always a good thing)
3 things I disliked…
1. Insta-love (just find them gagging and unrealistic)
2. Main characters didn’t really have great chemistry (I didn’t connect with them)
3. Story dragged on, but also was rushed at the same time. If that makes sense? (Miss Ilsa just didn’t give me enough details in some parts, but then gave to much in other parts that I feel was irrelevant)
Audiobook review: CJ Bloom is one of my Favorite narrators. She always brings the story to Life. Even though I’ve only listened to Lee Samuels a handful of times his voice is nice to listen too. Therefore I give them both 5 stars.
