He was more than my bully, he was what living nightmares were made of… “I dare you…” It started as a childish game played between two friends, that ended in heartbreak.I knew him once. A long time ago you may have even called us friends. That was before I moved away, before my mother married his father, before my entire life fell apart. I lost everything, my friends, my popularity, my future. … friends, my popularity, my future.
This was supposed to be my fresh start… my last chance at new… but it wasn’t it was real life hell.
Vance Preston used to be a poor boy with a soft smile and kind eyes.
He used to be my friend.
Now he’s God’s gift to women (his words not mine), disgustingly handsome, and filthy rich.
He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, and hurt whomever he wants.
No one can stop him, and no one dares too.
He might as well be god.
And his newest target: me.
He dares me to defy him.
He dares me to fight back.
He promises he won’t stop…
….not until he hurts me, not until he breaks me.
But I’m not afraid, because you can’t break something that’s already broken.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a very intense, sometimes uncomfortable and emotional read. The tension is excruciating as the gripping bully romance unfolds. My heart bled for Ava. Her pain and bewilderment was easy to feel and I found it impossible not to want to protect her, be her friend and give her a hug. As for Vance, I spent most of the book wishing that I could help karma give him what he so rightfully had earned from his words and deeds. Drama, lies, twists, betrayals, angst, pain, anger, frustration and a metric ton of complex and complicated emotions make up a story line that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and trying hard to resist biting your nails with anxiety.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was glad I did. The bully romance can be tough to get the balance right, but this was spot on. I loved the vengeful tactics vance subjected ava too. The Lies and misconceptions ripped the young friends apart only to destroy themselves in the present as young adults. This is the second book in this series ,so I can’t wait to go back to start with book one, as the side characters show there is more hate to love to explore
Remarkable Story!
WOW, another extremely outstanding story from this dynamic author duo. I could not put this one down – it had a hold of my heart and would not let it go. So heartbreakingly good!
This story about Vance and Ava is phenomenal and will get your blood boiling. There were so many times that this book infuriated me and made me so angry. But other times I was utterly heartbroken for the main characters and the tragedy that pulled them apart. Ava is strong but Vance can be a beast in his torment.
Even though I may have wanted to throw my book at the wall, I loved how the authors knew just how to pull me back in and fall head over heals for these characters.
I absolutely loved every second of this book. Amazing writing as always. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Highly recommend.
OMG you think The Bet was good hold on tight The Dare is off the hook. Vance and Ava were childhood friends on till a Dare. This story full of truths, lies and dares, love, passion, hate and drama.

The Dare was amazing! I could not put it down until I finished it. It follows the story of childhood friends, Ava and Lance. Situations out of their control created an immense rift in their relationship and led to turmoil in their lives. This story navigates the characters through betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. This definitely has a happily ever after ending to it for Ava and Lance. I’m very excited for the next installment in the series.
OMG!! It was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t stop reading it until I was finished with the book. It drew me in and kept me captivated throughout the entire book. It was absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for an amazing read
Get ready to ugly cry!!
Ava and Vance haven’t seen each other in 5 years and now they are house mates as their parents have married one another and they are going to the same college (North Woods University). And though once best friends, Vance now treats Ava like public enemy number one and insists she is a liar. Ava has no idea why but it is breaking her heart and that’s just how Vance likes it! This bully romance is wonderful and heart wrenching and will make you ugly cry!

How can one dare cause so much pain?
This is a very interesting story. It definitely grabs you, pulls you in and holds on until the very end. Ava’s life changed forever the night Vance dared her to go into her parents room. What happened that night changed things for her and for Vance. Ava was forced to move away with her parents and life has been miserable and rough ever since. When her dad goes to rehab Ava is left with no other option expect to move in with her mother and new husband. Ava finds out her mother’s new husband just so happens to be her childhood best friend’s father. She thought seeing Vance again would be a good thing, but apparently Vance hates Ava and keeps calling her a liar. She’s not sure what he’s talking about so she tries to keep her head down and just get through college. Vance has other ideas, he plans on making her pay for what she did all those years ago. He plans on humiliating her and forcing her to go back to wherever she came from. This is a great read and I highly recommend it! I’m looking forward to Clark’s story also, can’t wait to see what he gets up to with Emerson.
