'THE REVENGE PACT:' 

is the first full length romance book in the series 'Kings of Football', by Ilsa Madden-Mills. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'

Their story started with a note..

I'd just read 'On the rebound, by L.A. Cotton,' and another reader mentioned to give this one a shot, so wanting to stick to the sports theme I one clicked without question and I am so freaking glad I took that leap, this was so good. Straight away I fell under River's spell, he embodied everything I seek in a hero and it wasn't long before I was swooning, pegging him one of the most perfect book-boyfriends us girls love to lay claim to, the way he loved, his use of words, his inner musings, he just had me melting all over the place. He was just so raw, real and it was refreshing encountering a male character with life like issues.

3 best friends:
'River Tate' the popular frat boy
'Crew Smith' the protective one
and 'Hollis Hudson' the mysterious tight end who keeps everything locked down deep.
3 books, guys wanted to be them, girls wanted to be screwed by them.

This is River Tate's book, the popular senior frat boy attending Braxton College a prestigious school which has one of the best football programs in the country, he was supposed to go far being a superstar wide receiver but this year he dropped more balls than he'd caught thus meaning he'd missed out on a prospective NFL career. River's late father played for the New York Pythons before blowing out his knee ending his career before it had taken off. So River is striving to prove that he's just as good if not better than his father was.

If that didn't put enough pressure on River his grades are plummeting due to his learning issues and his mother is sick, he's like a domino ready to fall over with the slightest push.

Anastasia Bailey and River's relationship wasn't without a few road blocks in the way, she's dating one of his closest friends and even though he pretends he dislikes her she pretends he's invisible to her, but neither of them can deny that little spark that sizzles between them.

Anastasia is the girl with lavender hair, she's quirky, bright and is pegged to become a lawyer, pushing her well out of River's league.

This was so easy to fall into and be swept away for a few hours with life outside my walls ceasing to exist. I literally inhaled every single word as though I needed a crack fix, it just pulled me in so effortlessly, making it especially easy to connect to the characters and their journey, there wasn't anything I would change about this book, it flowed perfectly, the characters were well rounded, making the storyline real and life like.

This was an easy 5 star read for me 👍👍👍👍👍Highly recommend!!
