Trust and Dare

by Shelli Stevens

One weekend. His rules. Inhibitions left at the door.

Angry that yet another military man has done her family wrong, Abby Cook plots sweet revenge. But when her plan goes awry, she discovers that she’s targeted the wrong military man.

Mason Tyler is not used to being disobeyed. Yet the curvy blonde has rejected his advances at every turn. When he catches her in the middle of a very destructive—not to mention illegal—prank, he offers her a deal. A deal that will keep her out of jail. And let him exact a little revenge of his own.

One weekend in his bed…no inhibitions, no refusals. But when the weekend is up, will Mason be ready to let Abby go?

Lotsa lotsa sex.. But it did not really make sense for the abby to just follow someone home. Just like that, snap. Sex on the field, sex on the couch, sex in the pool, sex in the autoshop. Well I guess it's not such a bad read if u want lotsa action :)

[Irene Angel · Rating 3 out of 5]

a nice story, even if moving a bit too quickly and and the characters too trusting of each other to move on!

I love Shelli Stevens and I particularly enjoyed this short story. The characters are compelling enough to ensnare our attention even in a novella format. I wish Shelli would develop this story into a full length novel so that we could get to know Abby and Mason on a deeper level. The writing is smooth and the sex scenes feel comfortable and real. The only glitch is the circumstances of Abby's disappointment with Mason at the end. That whole situation came across as a little bit forced on tmhe author's part, as if Shelli needed a conflict trigger that simply wasn't thete, and then something a little off happens. But that doesn't prevent the reader from enjoying the blooming love story between Mason and his Abby. Easy, comforting reading that had me already coming back to reread my ebook.

great story, short but great, then again stevens write great books. Looks like another case of books to look forward to next time. happy reading Folks!

Book about a female out to revenge her sister from a military man, though the car she was about to tamper was the hero's new car and they ended up chasing each other and ended in a football field and there starts the recognition and desire that bloomed from each of them from their club encounters. :)

Very Shallow and quick read. Fucking here fucking there fucking everywhere! Dont get me wrong it wasnt bad sex, it just reminded me a little bit too much of porn. Some might say, that erotica is the female equivalent of porn. That might be true, but Id like to be able to pretend otherwise and here I just wasnt able to romanticize it.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was especially proud of the fact that the main male character was someone of integrity.

Short ending, short novella, well written and pretty damn good. I can say that I liked it a lot.

A very hot quickie! The book cover suggests an interracial relationship, but this is never described or explored in the book.

I don't know why Goodreads decided to re-shelve this for me--I wouldn't have reread it because of the low rating, obviously.
