Turns out there are 4, not 3 books in this box set, so I'm getting Tyler and Diana's story now. Tyler, (Nowinski) the rookie, and Diana (sister to Brandon, team captain, featured in book 3).

Finished the 2nd one in the box set, Bad Motherpuckers, and it was a funny one. Laura and Brendan. Brendan, the widower single dad. There were some lols in this one and some heartfelt moments. 4 stars

I'm pretty sure I've figured the twist out already on this one, but of course wth Freida McMadden, I'm not 100% sure yet. I'm enjoying taking a little break from my regular reads right now as I settle back in from vacation... so on I go... Hmmm,,, Seth.... his affair, AND wife? Interesting for sure...

Book 1 Hot as Puck
Well, I almost put it down halfway through this first book, but I'm glad I didn't. This was the story of Libby and Justin. 3.75so far.

This is probably the one with the most LOL moments in this series!

Ok so... if the "twist" is what I think it might be, this might be one of my least favorite books of the year...

A boring, unimaginative story so far. Bleh..

Gotta stick with it, it's the book club book of the month. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

OMG, the MMC's family is driving me ABSOLUTELY insane. UGH

Hmmm

Book 5, Avery and Grey.
Reunited after a HS love, Grey took off to become famous, and Avery Dare stayed behind. She's a successful influencer, and he comes back into her life. Cue rock star paparazzi, stalkers, and dad's drama. They had great chemistry again but had their issues to work through, and of course, got their HEA.

Book 4 - Dare to Hold
Tyler's best friend Meg, (who we met in book 3) and Scott Dare. A cop and a pregnant young woman and their story, including a stocking, crazy ex, and his controlling, protective ways. And their HEA.

Ok, I'm just confused... I guess I'm getting sneak peaks of books on some of them, but I still think they're out of order.

So apparently Olivia and Dylan is book 6.. so they are out of order on the Audible version, FYI.

Book 3 - Olivia Dare and Dylan Rhodes... They both work together along with so many of the other Dares, (of course) and seemed to have some insta-love type chemistry. It comes to a head at Her birthday party when he FINALLY kisses her. Cue ex-girlfriend drama/troubled past FMC, and there it is. (Noting a theme here...)

Book 2 - Dare to Desire - Alex and Madison
He's a former playboy, and star football star, until a bad injury ends his career. It also ends his short, yet longest fling with Madison, who we met at the end of book 1, when she was the social worker who came in to help Rylee. They have chemistry, some steamy scenes, and some angsty solid moments.

Book 1 - Dare to Love
Riley and Ian. 2 stubborn headed fools, half brother Alex drama and Riley's horrible father. I think they could have found their HEA a little sooner maybe?? Shortened the book a bit? 3.75 stars on book 1

Book Club is Thursday!

Not going to lie... kinda getting bored with this one. May put it down and pick it back up some other time.

Book 4- Rock Star's Baby Bargain
Collette, who we've seen in the prior books, gets dumped by her asshat of a boyfriend. And all she wants is a baby!
Zack - heartbroken over his friend, and crush on Theo getting married to a band mate in book 3.
Zack is leaving the band for a solo career, has a creep of a manager, and invites Collette to join him on a writing vacation...

3.75-4 stars

Book 3... Cutter and Theo (Theodora)... I love their enemies to loves, fake romance thing. They try the "fake romance" so he can win back his "only true love" and obviously they fall for each other. Add in some drama, even some mafia angst, and poof. The blueprint of each of the books continues. 3.5-3.75. On to book 4!

Book 2 - Bang Theory
Another 3.75-4 on this one. Shep (the drummer) and Bridget (Kirby's little sis) have been best friends for a very long time. Bridget feels unattractive and wants to get some lessons from Shep, and of course they are both secretly in love with each other. Another similar angsty moment at the end, but all in all, it's a fun read.
