The Dare by Rachel Van Dyken Cover Reveal

 

Boring Beth Lynn has always lived up to her nickname… until she wakes up in a hotel bed next to a sexy as sin state senator she re-connected with at a wedding the previous night.

The biggest problem? She can’t seem to remember anything about the night before except for crying into a box of cookies, and she’s pretty sure Grandma Nadine slipped something in her drink. And what should have been a one night stand turns into a six day adventure when Grandma whisks them off to Hawaii to save them from the ensuing media firestorm.

Jace isn’t looking for commitment — he believes he made that clear when he left the wedding with Beth. Then again, he can’t remember much of anything other than the way her skin felt beneath his hands. Now he’s stuck with her at some lame couple’s retreat and trying his hardest to fight the attraction only a woman like Beth could invoke.

He doesn’t think it can get any worse.

But one spider attack… A donkey ride from hell… And an unfortunate episode with Viagra tea — and there’s one thing Jace knows for sure: He should never have agreed to Grandma Nadine’s suggestion in the first place.
Because if this isn’t paradise, and it isn’t a vacation — that only leaves one option.

Survival.

But to make it through alive… they might lose their hearts in the process.

years since Kacey’s seen her childhood friend Jake, but the minute Jake

woman. And if that means pretending they’re engaged for her sake-so be it.
But Kacey wasn’t counting on Jake’s older brother Travis still being there. She
calls him “Satan” for a reason: she’s never forgotten the way he
teased and taunted her. Yet when they meet again, Travis’s gorgeous smile is a
direct hit to her heart . . . and Kacey’s more confused than ever. As the days
pass, only one thing starts to become alarmingly clear-she never should have
accepted Jake’s deal …

Synopsis

**Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone.**

I fell in love with Manda Baker eight years ago, and I loved her to the core of her soul. We were supposed to have that elusive happily ever after and spend a lifetime together. But that was all before she was STOLEN from me.

Her best friend, Sarah Erickson, killed her. It wasn’t intentional. It was far worse. Everyone claims it was just an accident, but I can see through the lies. Even if it’s with my dying breath, I will make her pay for what she did.

Fate hates me. It robbed me of my first love and left me to navigate through this world emotionless and numb. Then, one day, spiteful fate gave me a woman to fill my shattered soul and make me feel again. It gave me Emma Jane Erickson. Now I spend my days searching for the answers that will ruin Sarah and my nights falling in love with her sister—the one person who is bound and determined to save her.

But what happens when everything you know to be true explodes around you? Who will be left to pick up the pieces, and who will need to be saved from the wreckage?

Review

OH MY GOD!  I loved this book so much.  It was just as good as the first in this series, Changing Course.  This is the second book in this series and it can definitely be read as a standalone.  However, you do not want to miss out on Changing Course because it rocks and it gives you insight into this extremely drama filled story from the beginning.  Reading Changing Course will also help you love Caleb and I feel like that is important since he acts like an asshole much of this book.

You learn in Changing Course that Caleb lost his fiancé in a car accident 5 years ago and has basically been sexing it up with woman after woman, not really committing to anyone.  He just cannot get over Manda and he cant forgive the woman who he blames for her death; Sarah Erickson.  Sarah has finally reached a point in Stolen Course that she is forced to get help for her mental problems, so her baby sister, Emma Jane Erickson, moves closer to Sarah to help her recovery.  Caleb and Emma have an instant connection but both have strong reservations because of Caleb’s hate for Sarah.

I feel like I could write a whole book on how I feel about Caleb.  His character is so complex.  The poor guy is so miserable and hell bent on revenge that you cannot help but feel sorry for him even though he is a complete asshole most of the time.  He is literally ate up with hate and cannot find a way out of it.  He has been living this way for years and although he wants to change for Emma, it almost seems impossible.

10365944_10154209874560414_3130342898830427842_n

Behind all of this hate and misery is a man who wants happiness.  He can see it with Emma and there is not a question that he wants her for the long term, but it so hard to picture them together with all of the hate that he has for her sister.  Talk about angsty…so much drama.  I absolutely loved it.  So, Caleb has the number one attribute for a spectacular book boyfriend; he is tortured.  Next up, he is super alpha and sexy.  Lord he dirty talks and bosses like nobodies business and I adored it!

“See, I’m greedy, Emmy.  I’m going to make that tight cunt of yours come on my hand, my mouth, and my cock tonight.”

Sweet baby Jesus!  Yes, please!

And Emmy is his perfect match.  She doesn’t take any shit and she is just as dominant and bossy as Caleb.  She is strong in the wake of his weakness.  She isn’t insecure or put off by his love for Manda.  She embraces it and loves him for it.  She loves her sister and won’t back down from helping her for Caleb.  She is loyal, honest, and hilarious.  Her and Caleb’s verbal sparring made me laugh out on many occasion.

“And let’s be honest here–they make lifetime movies about shit less dramatic than our relationship.”

So, in conclusion, this book was amaze-balls.  It was sexy and had a beautiful story of moving on and gaining some closure.  If you read the first book in this series you will definitely need to read this one because there was some very important information regarding the accident  disclosed in this book that brought a lot of people the closure they needed to move on.  I really did just love this book.  I cannot wait for more from Aly.

Review

Bad Girls Don’t Marry Marines is the third book out in the Rock Canyon Series by Codi Gary. I love this fun sexy series and can never get enough of their antics. Codi Gary writes a story that is both emotional and fun all at the same time. I deeply felt for Valerie and could easily identify with the troubles she was going through and why it was so hard for her to let love in.

It’s not easy being known as one of “Those Willis Girls.” When your dad is a prominent citizen and well respected and you and your sisters act like normal fun loving young women it’s easy to get an undeserved reputation. Add a public divorced toppled with lies and a town gossip all to happy to spread them and you will have a very unhappy and untrusting woman. This is the situation that Valerie finds herself in at the young age of 26. After trying to live to make her father happy she is finally gonna live to make herself happy.

Justin is the man that Valerie spent one (innocent) night with in her teen years that she could feel an instant pull towards him. He was in town on leave from the Marines and when they met sparks just fly. So what’s the problem . . .his dad is not only a drunk but the enemy of Valerie’s father and when her dad found out about their one night he shipped Valerie off and she never saw Justin again.

Years later fate has brought them both back to Rock Canyon and when he knows the spark they once felt is still there Justin is not giving up so easily this time even if Valerie is swearing off love and relationships. Can these two get past all the baggage their fathers have installed in thier life to give that true once in a lifetime kind of love a chance?

I had so much fun reading this book. Although the issues in the book were heartbreaking and emotional, the characters were so much fun and so well written I couldn’t put it down. I have never read a book by Codi I didn’t love but I think this one might be my absolute favorite so far. The story was great, the characters well developed and the sex was HOT! Codi Gary’s Rock Canyon series is definitely one I would recommend to anyone (although this can easily be read as a standalone too.)

Review

This is the first novel I have read by Noelle Adams and I must say that I really enjoyed it. The book is unique in the perspective and narrations. It goes from past to present and back again, and changes points of view between Leah and Kevin.

The book opens on vacation in the French Riviera with a foursome (2 couples) enjoying graduation and career changes. The reader can sense that the couples are “consciously uncoupling”,to steal a term from Ms. Paltrow, and are going to return home with changes to friendships and romantic relationships.

As Leah and Kevin are somewhat forced to play-up their relationship on a staged vacation, I just wanted to hurry up and see what was going to happen when the truth came out. This in turn caused me to stay up until the wee-hours of the morning to finish!

The romance and sex were pretty awesome, which might have been another reason that I stayed up late!  The unrequited love and the double-entendres keep the chemistry alive and have you pulling for the couple.

I think my one criticism was that the novel would have been better served with a little more description of locations, further background information of friends, and a deeper understanding of the relationship between Kevin and his father. Which would have made it longer, and less like a long novella.

All in all, this is definitely a great read that will leave you with a happily ever after that I so enjoy. I will be reading more of Noelle Adams in the future.

Synopsis

He was a pig, a jerk, selfish, callous, crude, tactless, prone to outbursts and gorgeous. The kind of gorgeous where you didn’t even attempt to hide the fact that you were staring. I knew the type: His entire life he has coasted on his good looks, artificial charm, and sex appeal. Everyone wanted to be on him or be him. I had been hurt by jerks like him before. He was like those guys but far worse.

I was the unfortunate sucker to be offered a gig I desperately needed as his live-in chef for a Summer in the Hamptons. But I wasn’t like the other girls, the models and socialites who came through the revolving door of his bedroom. I would bite the bullet, take the gig, deal with his sexist comments, his expectation that I would fawn over him, and have no problem letting the door hit my ass on the way out when I was done.

But then something unexpected happened that changed everything and I realized that there maybe more to him than the labels I had affixed to his character. Maybe. But if he really wanted me, it wasn’t going to be easy, not like everything else in his life. Hadsae was goadsing to have to work, I was going to make him miserable. He was going to hate wanting me just as much as I hated myself for wanting him back.

Heath Hillabrand: International Supermodel. Womanizer.

Gorgeous Rotten Scoundrel.

excerpt

He leaned in to kiss me, and I sort of, kind of, pushed back. But I’ll admit, it was a weak attempt, because dammit he’s so fucking hot and his kisses taste like sex. If there was a sex-flavored popsicle, it would be called the Heathsicle. Maybe we could do this just this once and get it out of our systems, I thought to myself, pulling him in by his shirt collar as we kissed.

He moved to my neck, kissing it so softly, and it made everything tingle. I cannot believe I am making out with a supermodel. He buried his face into the crook of my neck, kissing softly, but pausing in between, caressing my skin with his warm breaths.

Why is he doing this to me? It’s like he knows I have a weak spot for narcissists.

He ran his right hand up my thigh, pushing my dress up. All I had underneath was a thong, a flimsy shield for a sex machine like Heath Hillabrand. He grabbed my ass firmly, pressing me up against him and when I felt his huge hardness through his jeans, the reality of the situation began to sink in, but not nearly as much as when his fingers slid into me.

Oh god, oh god, oh god. This is the point of no return, get your shit together. You cannot be this fucking weak, Sadie.

“Okay, we have to stop,” I said, pushing him away from me, as a I panted for air. My skin was prickly all-over with sex tingles and my body so wanted to keep on, but that sliver of sober brain I had left would not let me move forward.

connection, both think it will be easy to walk away. But life can be more
ruthless than either of them ever imagined. Not only does Grace have a secret
she’s desperate to keep, Casey has questions from his past that he’s willing to
do anything to get answers for.
It’s not until someone wants one of them dead that Casey

is snatched away.

EXCERPT

 

Cooper topped my wine glass again without
missing a beat.
I glanced sideways. “Are you trying to get
me drunk?”
He leaned in, whispering, “Yes. Is it
working? You seem a bit edgy.”
That was because my body was craving sex.
Lots of it. With Casey. A quick glance across the table found him watching our
exchange intently.
Between the revolving front door of the
duplex and his roommate, finding privacy was going to be more complex than long
division. He would either have to climb a ladder to my window or sex was going
to happen in the back of his car, and because he was yet to mention anything
about the damaged backseat, that option was off the table. The man was either
biding his time or he hadn’t seen it yet. Considering I was still alive, I was
voting for the latter, but it was only a matter of time.
Focusing on my plate, I picked up a piece
of chicken and peeled the skin away. “Can you pass me a napkin?” I asked Mac on
my left and licked my finger.
My phone vibrated in the pocket of my
dress as she handed it over. Pulling it out, I saw a text message from Casey. I
glanced at him across the table but he appeared in deep conversation with
Travis. Swiping a finger across the splintered screen, I read the message.
Do
that again.
Do what
again? Lick my finger? I put my phone down, and after a quick glance around the
table, I slid my finger in my mouth, sucking gently before dragging it slowly
from between my lips. Finished with the slightly erotic display, I glanced over
at Casey. His eyes were locked on my mouth, dark with hunger. Wincing slightly,
he reached down and with a quick, casual movement, adjusted himself in his
pants.
I quickly tapped out a return message.
Do
that again.
He did.
After reading my reply, he actually
reached down, cupped the bulge in his pants and squeezed. My entire body
clenched at the sight, forcing a light sweat to break out across my brow. I
reached for the wine Cooper poured, feeling the urge to rub the ice-cold glass
soothingly across my forehead.
After downing another half glass, I set it
down and caught Casey intent on his phone, his fingers tapping away.
This was sexting? How did people survive
it?
Mac was talking to me when my phone
eventually alerted the incoming message. After taking a bite of chicken, I
picked it up and promptly began choking.
If
my cock looks half as good as your finger did the way it slid in and out of
your mouth, then I want in.
Mac pounded me on the back with surprising
force while I choked and wheezed. Jesus.
The message basically said blow me now,
yet he’d managed to word in such a way that I was ready to get on my knees
right then and there. The man could charm the panties off a nun. I put my phone
down to grab at the napkin Cooper waved in my face. Casey sat across from the
table laughing at me while I dabbed at my watery eyes.
I narrowed my gaze on him with deliberate
intent before I tapped out another message.
You
said you were good with your tongue, Casey. Prove it.
Travis was talking to him when he opened
the message. I watched his eyes flare wide before he typed out a quick reply
and pocketed his phone.
Upstairs.
You’ve got five minutes.

 

I should’ve known better than to issue a
challenge to Casey of all people. He was the type of man you saw running
towards danger while everyone else was running in the opposite direction.

I utilised a good three
minutes eating another piece of chicken, finishing off my wine and getting
caught in conversation with Cooper. I spent another minute wondering what the
hell I’d gotten myself into. In the last minute left, I excused myself from the
table and stood on unsteady legs. I glanced behind me as I walked inside. Casey
was laughing at some comment Travis made that I didn’t quite catch. His eyes
met mine for a split second as he said something in reply, and they were on
fire. That was all it took to know I’d never wanted anything more in my life
than I wanted him right now.

resides in Brisbane, Australia, a city in the state of Queensland where she
works as an accountant, along with a sideline wedding cake business and her
writing.
She is
married with two children, has two dogs and house in the suburbs, and a pile of
friends and family dotted all over the country that help keep her sane.
When she’s
not busy running after naughty kids, filthy dogs, crunching numbers, piping
buttercream and writing books, you can find her curled up in bed in the early
hours of the morning reading new books and re-reading old favourites. Her
favourite books are the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward in which
she longs to eventually join the brotherhood and change her name to Phierce
Mutha.
