***5 Stars***
As with everyone who has read the South Haven series, my need to get Sebastian “Bash” Vogel’s story has been intense. So you can just imagine how excited I was to hear that he was finally coming *smirk* and then to find out at this would be a co-authored effort and blend two of my favorite ‘worlds’ even more? Well...I was all in and I was not disappointed in any way, shape or form. It had me snort laughing, swooning, melting and raising an eyebrow or two, but it also had me wanting to devour each and every word ~ even though I did end up taking my time to savor all the goodness.
Simply put: I ADORED Bash and Kieran from the start. Both of these men are such good men it’s crazy. I loved how unapologetic Bash was about who he is, how he lives his life and just how much his friends mean to him. Kieran is that guy that comes at you sideways because he is all kinds of hotness, but has such a charismatic, compassionate soul that swooning is unavoidable.
Since this is a trilogy, we are only at the very beginning at what promises to be an amazing journey and *toes crossed* an epic HEA, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed how everything played out for them in this book. The chemistry between them was intense from the start and I simply enjoyed being with them, separately and together. And while that ending wasn’t a full on destroy my world cliffy, it definitely has me wishing the next book was already on the Kindle because I NEED to know what will happen next between these ASAP!

From Ella Frank’s Prime Time series and Brooke Blaine’s South Haven series comes an explosive spin-off of both worlds.
Sebastian “Bash” Vogel, the magnetic, cross-dressing CEO of AnaVoge, has long been a lone island when it comes to his personal life. Self-assured and playful, he’s never left wanting for suitors—but Bash isn’t looking for something permanent. He’s more than fulfilled with his company and his closest friends, and no one is going to shake up the status quo.
That is, until he’s thrown over the shoulder of one of Chicago’s finest and hauled out of a burning building.
Kieran Bailey, a sexy, hardworking lieutenant at Station 73, has been reaping the rewards of being crowned the city’s hottest fireman, which his crew never lets him forget. So many ladies, so little time. So when he rescues the latest damsel in distress, no one is more shocked than him to realize he’s played prince charming to another…prince.
But Bash isn’t like anyone Kieran has ever met, and soon his world is turned upside down as he becomes more intrigued by the enigmatic man that he can’t stay away from.
They’re from two different worlds. This could never work. But what if…they dared to try?
Dare You is book one of the Dare to Try trilogy, which must be read in order. Prior reading is not required, but is always a fantastic idea for maximum enjoyment.
Release Date: July 30th, 2021

About Brooke Blaine:
You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.
She is the author of Flash Point, a romantic suspense standalone, as well as the co-author of the erotic series, A Desperate Man, with Ella Frank. The latter has scarred her conservative southern family for life, bless their hearts. Licked, a romantic comedy, will be released November 11th, 2015 and is the first in the L.A. Liaisons series.
If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find - just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.
