Review: Dare You by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine
SYNOPSIS:
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?
REVIEW:
I have been waiting ages for Bash’s book(s) and let me tell you, this was 100% worth the wait. This charismatic man stole my heart when I met him in the South Haven series. and I was thrilled to see that his perfect match was womanizer Kieran from the Prime Time series.
While I initially was interested to see how Brooke and Ella were going to pull off this unique attraction, I shouldn’t have worried at all. The chemistry and intrigue between Bash and Kieran was instantaneous; and a little concerning and a whole lot confusing for Kieran. The friendship and bond these two built over the course of the story was endearing, and the sexual tension was tantalizing. I couldn’t wait until these two reached the breaking point of combustion. The progression of their relationship and Kieran’s exploration of his sexuality felt natural. And honestly, who wouldn’t be drawn to the magnetic Bash, he steals the scene on every page.
But there is nothing that I love more when I read an Ella Frank and/or Brooke Blaine book than character cameos. And neither disappoint in this story and throughout this series. I was giddy with excitement with every new little surprise and reference to series and characters of past. As in when I saw Logan, Tate, and Robbie, I may or may not have squealed out loud. And while the story ends on cliffhanger, I am hopeful this is just the beginning for Bash and Kieran.
