If She Dares

By Tanya Michaels

"I dare you " 

Riley Kendrick has officially lost her nerve. Since being robbed last year, her spontaneous sidethe fun sidehas been completely MIA. That is, until her new neighbor moves in. Jack Reed, aka Mr. Apartment 4B, is over six feet of hard, sculpted hotness with a dimpled smile one that suggests that maybe it's time for Riley to get in touch with her once-naughty self. 

Now the dares have begun. What started in an elevator has quickly escalated to a game of sexy challenges, each more daring than the last. It's exciting, it's wicked, and as far as Jack's concerned, it's a safe, no-strings fling. But every game has its limits and Jack is about to discover just how dangerous a dare can get!

If She Dares
3 Stars

In the aftermath of a robbery , Riley Kendrick has lost her fun loving nature and finds herself jumping at every shadow. That is until Jack Reed moves in across the hall and issues a series of dares designed to help Riley rediscover her spontaneity and love for life. Of course, Jack may just discover that he could do with a dare or two as well…

While Jack and Riley's chemistry is off the charts and their interactions are sexy and steamy, the rest of the plot never really gets going. Riley's PTSD is presented realistically at first, but she manages to overcome her fears far too quickly with very little effort once Jack comes onto the scene.

In fact, most of the book is dedicated to Jack's issues with commitment stemming from his problematic relationship with his mother. As with Riley's story, Jack's sudden realization that he loves Riley, despite having pushed her away over and over, lacks foundation and development.

In sum, not a bad read, but there are better Blaze books out there.
