The Dare - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

The Dare (Briar U #4)
by Elle Kennedy

What is it about:
College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can’t say no.

The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class.

Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties…and in Greek Row sorority beds. He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop—rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy.

Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it’s fun to pull the wool over my frenemies’ eyes.

But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I’m realizing there’s much more to Conor’s story than his fan club can see.

And the longer this silly ruse goes on, the greater the danger of it all blowing up in my face.

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
I totally picked this up because the blurb mentions a fake relationship.

And to be honest: as a fake relationship romance this book fails in my opinion. Things between Taylor and Conor feel too real from the start. It's more a lets  give this a try than fake.

That said: I did enjoy this New Adult Romance. It is fun and entertaining. I might have bought it for the fake relationship, but the antics of these two kept me reading even after I concluded it didn't have the right fake relationship vibe for me.

All in all not a book I'd reread, but I might try something else by Elle Kennedy in the future.

Why should you read it:
It's a fun and enjoyable NA Romance
