Attrape-moi... si tu l'oses !

by Natalie Anderson

Une romance moderne qui fait des étincelles : la guerre des blogs a commencé !

Règles du premier rendez-vous
Par Nadia Keenan
1) Boostez votre confiance en vous : faites-vous belle.
2) Ne couchez pas le premier soir.
3) Si vous tombez sur un salaud, signalez-le sur « www.1femmeavertie.com ».

Après avoir découvert qu’on le traînait dans la boue sur le blog en question, Ethan Rush ne décolère pas. Alors, comme ça, il est un « serial dateur », du genre « un verre, une nuit… zéro nouvelle » ? Oui, il sait qu’il plaît ; oui, il aime séduire ; mais ça ne fait pas de lui un salaud ! Pour qui se prend-elle, cette Nadia ?
Hors de question de se laisser insulter de la sorte. Le plan de bataille est simple : mettre les règles de Nadia à l’épreuve, le temps de trois rendez-vous. Pas un de plus. Il va tout faire pour lui faire changer d’avis à son sujet. Elle est déterminée à prouver, une bonne fois pour toutes, quel genre de type il est. Le jeu du chat et de la souris peut commencer.

The heroine Nadia runs a dating 'advice' website and forum. After an upsetting incident in her past she wishes to be able to help women avoid encounters that may leave them heartbroken or worse. When the hero Ethan finds out he has been shamed on the forum and called 'three dates and your out' he is furious. He tracks Nadia down and demands she take the thread down, even when he threatens legal action she still refuses and Ethan can't help but admire her determination. So instead he challenges her to go on three dates with him to prove he is not the womaniser he's been reported as. During these dates both Nadia and Ethan are surprised at how much they desire one another and despite each of their attempts to stick to their 'rules' they can't help by give in to their desires.

What I like about Natalie's books is that they are always very forward thinking and modern, this is certainly the case with this fabulous book.
The verbal (and virtual) sparring from the two characters is brilliant, at times I couldn't help but laugh! There was so much chutzpah in these characters, I thought they were fantastic. I liked that the book was so honest about all the games people play in relationships and how, really, we should just stop playing these games and realise how damaging they can be. The story is very original and fun and I really loved reading it.

The writing is spectacular, and as expected from Natalie's books the passion is scorching. Although the use of the phrase "bliss button" did have me cringing a bit! LOL!

A fabulous read.

I really liked this book. Firstly I had never read something similar and that's always good. I think the book didn't fail to deliver what was promised. The plot was never rushed but the pace was never slow either. The characters were both strong-minded. I'm glad that although Nadia was attracted to Ethan she didn't turn into a total hormonal drooling bimbo.Sure she slept with him but she made rational choice. She decided she was attracted to him and admited to herself she wanted to have sex with him and then she went for it. And I most definitely loved Ethan. The man was charming and witty amd well his hotness was well-described. All in all I found it an entertaining light read.

¡Hermosa comedia romántica con tórridas escenas de amor! Es la primera novela que leo de esta autora y me ha fascinado. No obstante, destaco que tiene el recurrente error o falla de muchas novelas de Harlequin: faltan detalles descriptivos de los protagonistas o algunos de ellos. En este caso, nunca supe de qué color era el cabello de Nadia y supe que tenía ojos verdes hasta bien entrada en la novela. Otro detalle... No se sabe la edad de ellos... De veras, todo esto me crispa. Sin embargo, la historia es chispeante y la he disfrutado muchísimo.

4.5 stars

Original trope, fresh & breezy writing style, beautifully portrayed characters,
Nadia writes a blog WomenBWarned about dating advices. Ethan is defamed on the forum & nicknamed   3 Dates & you are out playboy. Furious, he challenged Nadia into having 3 dates with him to prove he isn't this  playboy. They continue their sparring online thru their blogs & it's fun how each one tries to win the dating war.

[Ain · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love this book although it has a little more sex than the books I usually read.
It started off really funny with the witty banter between Nat & Ethan, but it got really emotional towards the end when they really get to know each other. It's a really sweet book and I think any fan of chick-lits should totally check out this book~

[Susan in Perthshire · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is fabulous. Nadia and Ethan are such captivating characters and the plot is fresh and ingenious. This author produces well written, emotionally satisfying stories, which do not stretch the bounds of possibility. Believable and entertaining! Would have liked an epilogue and that’s why it’s only 4 stars!

Dating and Other Dangers is out of the box good….sheer brilliance actually!

Nadia Keenan runs a blog named WomanBWarned, a site about serial daters and dumpers. Ethan Rush unfortunately finds himself a topic of conversation on WBW; he actually has a whole thread #1862 dedicated to him called Mr. 3 Dates and You’re Out!

When Ethan finds out his reputation is being mangled, he is absolutely livid and challenges Nadia to go out on 3 dates with him to help set the record straight and so start the dating wars…

The chemistry between Ethan and Nadia is hot hot hot and their blog wars will have you in splits. This book definitely outlines the games people play in a relationship and the song and dance involved in dating.

Natalie is definitely one of my favorite authors, she constantly thinks outside the box time and again. I’m always eager to read her next book and she never disappoints in the variety department.

Dating and Other Dangers gets top billing for being creatively fresh and modern; add brilliant writing, witty dialogues and sizzling love scenes and we have a downright winner on our hands. Highly recommended.

It's an mazing book that everyone will love.This book reminds me the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.I have no idea why.I really like this book.I would recommend to read it 'cause it's not the usual type book.
*The're might be minor spoilers*
First of all it's all about the 21rt century where people have blogs and they write their opinion or whatever they want.In our case this is Datind advises and in Nadias blog warnings about some men.
Tha's how she and Ethan met.Someone wrotte in her blog about Ethan goes to her office to prove that he is not what they say in her blog.They end up having 3 dates.
On the first date Nadia breaks all(or almost all)her rules.On the 2nd she get's what she wants though I don't think that ended well.On the third he let her see a side of him that she didn't belive it existed until she saw it with her own eyes.
The last 2-3 chapters were a surprise to me but in the end everything got solved.

[Lenore Kosinski · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK, this one ENDED really well, but it took so long for me to really like the characters and understand their motivations. I just couldn't help but wonder why Ethan was so upset since he didn't want relationships anyways. And they could be quite harsh and mean to each other, which I'm not used to. In the end, the chemistry evened out and they worked really well together and I totally rooted for them. But frankly, it took a bit too long and so couldn't make up for the first part wondering what was up with those 2.

[Bridie Coleman · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favourite of Natalie's Riva titles so far.

Ethan absolutely delish and Nadia kooky but fun. Great combination.

[Nicola Marsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

An absolute cracker of a read.

The sparks Nadia and Ethan generate burn up the pages.

You won't want to put this one down!

Os perigos da Internet em forma de romance.

A heroína Nadia tem um website que dá conselhos sobre namoros em relação à segurança. Pode parecer estranho, mas é algo que ocorre na vida real devido ao alto indíce de violência contra a mulher, uma espécie de rede de informações relacionadas à homens é presente.

O website comete um erro ao falar sobre Ethan Rush que não é o perigo mencionado... e aqui começam os conflitos e a sedução.

Bem divertido.

[A · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not your typical Harlequin novel. The plot is really one of a kind and both h and H really come together very well. The H came across as a real douchebag but you really come to know him better and like h like him despite yourself :) The characterization and depiction of h is really well done. The dialogues and the comebacks are really snappy and witty.

La rencontre entre un Don Juan des temps modernes et une justicière 2.0 va faire des étincelles.
C’est un livre qui ne trompe pas sur la marchandise et qui s’assume.
C’est un bon chick lit qui se lit vite et qui donne le sourire.

J'ai essayé me suis accrochée pendant 70 pages mais non... pas du tout d'accroche intrigue tourne en rond et les personnages sont fades

[Alloverthebooks ✎ · Rating 3 out of 5]

J'ai passé un bon moment dans cette lecture, même si évidemment on sait pertinemment comment ça va se terminer.
Les personnages principaux sont assez chouettes, j'ai aimé les découvrir, par contre, il manquait un peu de profondeur dans la conception des protagonistes.
Mais pour l'intrigue, c'était plaisant à lire, car il y avait de l'électricité dans l'air. Je voulais savoir qui allait craquer en premier...
Je recommande ce roman aux personnes qui n'ont pas besoin d'une réelle profondeur pour aimer des personnages et qui n'ont pas besoin que l'histoire regorge de rebondissements.

USA Today best-selling author Natalie Anderson continues to prove why she’s one of contemporary romance’s brightest stars with a steamy tale readers will not be able to put down: Dating and Other Dangers!

Nadia Keenan does not like to be underestimated. She had proved everybody wrong by moving to London from the small northern town she had grown up in and found a job working in the human resources department of Hammond’s, one of the world’s most prominent companies. Nadia is not only extremely good at her job, but she’s also an expert when it comes to looking after herself. She does not need a man nor does she want to be in a relationship. She had once trusted a man with her heart and had it smashed to smithereens, so she had vowed never to make the same mistake again. Instead, she has put all of her time and energy into setting up a website, WomanBWarned, which exposes the serial cheaters cluttering up the London singles scene.

In the last couple of days, the site seems to buzzing with the news that first-rate womanizer Ethan Rush has struck again. A drop dead gorgeous lawyer with plenty of money in the bank, come to bed eyes and a body to make any woman’s mouth water, Ethan Rush is irresistible – and boy does he know it! It seems that Ethan changes partners as frequently as other men change their socks –and now women all over London are using Nadia’s site to warn their fellow singletons to give Ethan as wide a berth as possible! Nadia cannot help but be thrilled that her site has exposed Ethan for the lying and cheating womanizer he really is. But when Ethan finds out that his romantic exploits are being splashed all over the Internet, he is incandescent with rage!

Ethan is not about to take this lying down! He vows to track down Nadia and to force her to shut down the site and stop her from making a laughing stock out of him. Nobody makes a fool out of Ethan Rush and he will not rest until he exposes Nadia Keenan for the desperate and miserable shrew she really is. However, Ethan hadn’t counted on the fact that Nadia Keenan is one of the most infuriating, most aggravating and most beautiful women he had ever clapped eyes on! Ethan is determined to prove to Nadia that he isn’t as heartless or as lecherous as he’s being painted on her site – and what better way to prove that than by asking her to go out with him on three dates? Nadia reluctantly accepts to go out with him, but little did she realize when she agreed to go ahead with this challenge that she was about to fall head over heels in love with a man who is allergic to long-term relationships: Ethan Rush!

Dating and Other Dangers is a breezy read that perfectly balances light-hearted fun with red-hot sensuality and heart-wrenching pathos. Natalie Anderson writes with plenty of flair and panache and once readers start reading this scorching romance, they will not be able to put it down!

With a sexy hero, an independent heroine and plenty of heat, humour and heart, Dating and Other Dangers is another fabulous treat by the brilliant Natalie Anderson!

Cette lecture n'était pas prévue du tout au programme, mais franchement quand je l'ai vu je n'ai pas pu résister et hop dans le panier. Résultat, je l'ai lu rapidement et je suis presque déçue que ça se soit fini aussi vite. J'en voulais encore plus ! Le sujet est on ne peut plus cohérent car des salauds on peut en rencontrer dans sa vie (même si perso j'ai été épargnée de ce côté).

J'ai beaucoup aimé que l'univers tourne autour des sites personnels d'Ethan et Nadia, car à la base je fais pareil, je blogue aussi, même si ce que je raconte n'est pas aussi intéressant. Toujours est-il que c'est un sujet d'actualité et que ça fonctionne bien. L'ambiance général du livre est totalement addictive et humoristique.

Le premier personnage à faire son apparition est Ethan, on le voit dénigré sur un forum par plusieurs femmes qui sont sortie avec lui, et quand il découvre ce fiasco, il n'a envie que d'une chose : rabattre le caquet à la fondatrice de ce site débile en l'obligeant à sortir avec lui lors de trois rendez-vous. Et la meilleure façon pour ça c'est de lui prouver que ce qui a été dit sur son compte n'est pas vrai. Il va donc sortir l'artillerie lourde et partir en campagne pour retrouver sa dignité.

Nadia, elle, est un personnage qui a été échaudé par un ancien amour et depuis elle rejette tout ce qui pourrait faire son bonheur. Elle n'a que son site et son travail. Lorsque Ethan débarque et bouleverse sa vie, elle est perdue dans les sentiments contradictoires qu'elle ressent.

Les moments entre les deux personnages sont vraiment très intéressant à lire, ils se cherchent, se frottent, se piquent. Et nous avons droit au grand jeu de la séduction, où tous les coups sont permis. Ils se déclarent une vraie guerre de blogs à coup de messages intercalés.

Le style de l'auteur est fluide et actuel, le livre se rapidement et même si la romance est peut-être trop évidente à voir venir, ça n'empêche en rien d'aimer le livre. En bref, c'est une excellente lecture détente, si vous avez besoin de vous évader de votre quotidien.

Du coté de l'histoire :Nadia travaille dans les ressources humaines, mais à ses heures perdues elle a aussi ouvert un blog pour aider les femmes dans leurs relations avec les hommes. Ce blog qu'elle chéri, consiste à mettre en garde les femmes à propos de certains hommes aux méthodes assez douteuses. Vous vous êtes faite jeter après une nuit d’amour avec un séducteur ? Maintenant, vous pouvez le dénoncer sur le blog 1femmeavertie.com. Mais un jour, à son grand étonnement, Ethan prend connaissance des messages à son sujet, car certaines femmes avec qui il est sorti ne semblent pas vraiment apprécié sa façon de les traiter et l’ont même surnommé « Monsieur 3 rencards et bye bye ». Agacé par ce qu'il vient de lire , il décide de défier Nadia, il la retrouve et se rend sur son lieu de travail. Mais quelle ne fut pas sa surprise en découvrant que la jeune femme est vraiment très séduisante lui qui pensait découvrir une vieille femme acariâtre. D’abord choquée, par cette intrusion, la jeune femme ne se laisse pas du tout intimider et tient tête à cet homme qui malgré ce qu'elle a pu lire lui parait fort séduisant.
Elle se laisse ainsi convaincre de se rendre à trois rendez-vous avec lui, afin qu'il lui démontre qu’il n’est pas du tout le malotru décrit par ces femmes sur son blog.

Du coté de l'écriture: C'est une comédie légère, agréable qui fait passer un excellent moment de détente. La plume de Natalie Anderson est fluide, sympathique, l’histoire est sans prise de tête, idéale pour passer un bon moment . Les personnages sont attachants et cette petite guerre à travers les blogs est franchement amusante. J'ai beaucoup aimé le naturel de Nadia et Ethan, monsieur et madame tout le monde, j'aime bien.
Pas de surprise bien sur sur le final ni sur le roman du reste mais franchement pour les vacances c'est idéal.

En conclusion : Une petite comédie romantique sympathique, rien de bien original mais elle vous fera passer un très bon moment de détente.

DATING AND OTHER DANGERS is an amazingly modern story by author Natalie Anderson.

Nadia Keenan works at a conservative firm where accessing social network sites are not allowed for employees on company time. Behind an anonymous façade she runs a site, WomanBWarned, where she gives dating advice to woman.

Her site had a separate thread for Ethan Rush, bashing him!
Ethan Rush, to prove her wrong, approached her and made a deal for three dates.

Now what will happen to Nadia on these three dates as she already feels the attraction simmering between them?
Ethan has grown up watching how destructive love could be, will he allow himself to love and commit to Nadia?

And what would happen when Nadia’s boss comes to know about her site?

Following Ethan and Nadia was a hilarious journey. Though short in stature, Nadia was fiercely independent. As the saying goes…the shorter the chilly, the spicier they are…and it was all true for Nadia!

The sensuality in the love scenes is astounding. This story is in the “now” as in very modern.

Natalie Anderson did it again! She came through with another winner in DATING AND OTHER DANGERS.

Her characters come alive on the pages with the use of sharp and humorous dialogue and vivid atmospheric details that the reader is personally involved in their happiness. It is a story with real characters, inspired plot and delightful resolution.

Nadia and Ethan’s story is hugely enjoyable and highly romantic tale readers will find absolutely impossible to resist.

This book without a doubt, made it to my favorite list!

[Tia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nadia has trouble trusting anyone, let alone letting them help her. She runs a blog/forum site called WomenBWarned, which gives advice on males and even bashes guys. Ethan has seen the site and there is a while thread dedicated to him. So he visits Nadia at work and demands to take her on three dates, to prove that he is NOTHING like the forum users have said.

Throughout there hilarious dates, you begin to learn more about Ethan and Nadia. Ethan's issue is he doesn't want to be his Dad. His Dad is a womanizer and had repeatedly cheated on his mother and used her until their bitter divorce. Ethan has hurt and used women in the past and now he wants to change.

Dating and Other Dangers was an all around great book. I loved it. I fell in love with the characters and learning experiences they each went through. It's certainly worth the read.

L’avis de Chica :

Ce n’est pas celui que j’avais repéré en premier parmi les sorties &H du mois si vous vous en rappelez, et pourtant c’est le premier que j’ai dévoré et adoré ! Je vous avais annoncé certainement de l’humour, eh bien je ne me suis pas trompée !

Le ton est définitivement à l’humour avec une intrigue originale et pleine de pep’s. Je me suis régalée et si vous voulez passer un très agréable et rafraîchissant moment de lecture, je ne peux que vous conseiller de le lire vous aussi.

Les deux personnages principaux ont tout ce qu’il faut de caractère, de passif plus ou moins douloureux, d’ambitions ou d’humour pour rendre leurs échanges et leur histoire piquante, passionnée et sensuelle. J’ai littéralement craqué pour l’un comme pour l’autre...

This was fun. It was not too long, not too complicated, nicely written.
Last evening my husband and I were involved in a discussion about men/women psychology and he really could't understand why we were so "complicated". We women complicated? We are absolutely not! We just have a certain way of thinking that men cannot undestand. Have no idea why. :-)
Well, this book discusses about men/women theme in the modern period with all the tecnological implications. I'm relatively young (31), but I haven't been dating in this new techno enviroment. When I started dating my husband there were only few mobile phones, no facebook, no blogs. I feel so ancient...

Yuhu...i like it
it's fascinating to read the blog war between Nadia and Ethan,
and see they interact with they 3 dates and sizzling love scenes.

for the ending, i like Nadia change the web name and Ethan included to give advise to the new concept, it's make me feel they are solid

The story is very original and fun.

Romance a bit fast but soo beautiful and the little intricacy of the story is a good think and want me to recommend this book for a little "pause" for relaxation ^^


Romance plutôt rapide mais tellement belle et un peu de complexité ajoute au charme de ce p'tit bouquin et me donne envie de le recommander pour une( ou plusieurs :) ) Pause détente ^^

OK, it was a typical romance where two adversaries fall in love but it was sort of uncomplicated (if we don't come Ethan's dread of commitment). It was easy to read, there were some hot yet tasteful scenes and unlike other books, the guy was the one who wanted serious relationship which was refreshing. Also, it was funny... simply put - I liked it :-)
