~**~ ARC Review: Dare Me (Dare to Try #2) by Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank ~**~



***5 Stars***

Seriously.

Sooooo hard NOT to absolutely adore Bash and Kieran.

So. Hard.

But as for how things have progressed since we last saw Bash and Kieran. 

I have to say, I’m really enjoying how everything has been working out thus far. I like how they re-connected and just how open they are with each other, even if some things to take a little prodding. And though things are moving at a faster pace, it doesn’t feel rushed. They see each other for who they are and that’s what attracts them to each other. 

As for the ending. Again, it isn’t a true “OMG” type of ending, but it is an honest one and a good place to end this chapter because what looks to be coming next deserves it’s own book. So, yeah, not upset by that ending at all and I am totally looking forward to seeing just how everything turns out for them.

And then there are the supporting cast of characters. It really was a lot of fun to catch up with the South Haven crew and just see how their relationships ~ romantically and platonically ~ have evolved and the Bailey’s are always a joy (Though Henri will always be my fav :))

But now to wait for the conclusion!

~ Copy provided by the authors & voluntarily reviewed ~

Dare Me is part two of the Dare to Try trilogy and should only be read after Dare You.

The moment Bash “Miss Razzle Dazzle” Vogel sashayed into Lieutenant Kieran Bailey’s life, both their worlds were turned upside down. What started as an easy friendship quickly morphed into sizzling chemistry that neither one could deny.

But what Kieran knows better than anyone is that when a fire burns this hot and heavy, someone’s bound to get burned. Do they dare to risk being together? Or will the flame of this hot match consume them both?

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.
