A new rock star romance from S.L. Scott!
Dare is the kind if book that you enjoy. It will make you smile. It will make you happy. It gives you a little bit of that “rebelling against your parents” without actually compromising your real world relationship vibe. It gives you a little bad boy lovin’ with a real man. Dare is the kind of story that you read and you make its theme yours until you hit the epilogue.
It’s unusual for me to say that an epilogue can make or break a book. Sometimes authors nail them and other times you feel meh…almost like they dropped the ball. Dare is the “holy shit, that was epic- did I just read that” kind of epilogue. I found the depth of connection in the epilogue doubled that of the book. I enjoyed this book. I really liked the flow of Weatherly and Dare. I really liked and enjoyed. Are you hearing me? I was content to give this book my regular happy to have read it 4 stars until those epilogues. S.L. Scott took it up a notch with the final words in Dare’s story. She stole my heart with just a few words and stole that 5th star too.
Dare and Weatherly will sneak up on you and grab your heart like ninjas in the night. Whether you fight dirty or not, you will fall and fall hard!

Dare: A Rock Star Hero by S.L. Scott. Robert Dare Marquis lives by his own rules and on his own terms. His band is everything to him. He lives for playing his guitar and singing with the hopes his band would one day get a record deal. Until she walked into the bar and turned his world upside. Weatherly had just walked in on her boyfriend cheating on her for the last time. She didn’t love him; she was just expected to marry him. Enough was enough! She could careless about him and his cheating. In fact she was sick of the whole pretentious lifestyle of the rich and snobby. In a bar on the wrong side of town she has an instant connection to a real bad boy. He is dark,handsome, oozes sex and is playing in a band. Her feelings are strong for him as well as Dare for her. The problem is they are from two different worlds. He is from the wrong side of Austin. A good story of two people who end of saving each other. There is a twist to the story that put a smile on my face. Dare and Weatherly’s relationship was something most people would kill for. They bought out the best in each other and showed that love will prevail. So much more to this story. I am so hoping that there will be more books with the other bandmates. 4.5 star read for me
I absolutely ADORED THIS BOOK that was SO MUCH MORE than a rockstar romance! I was utterly addicted right from the prologue. Dare and Weatherly are seemingly star-crossed lovers, whose hearts have an invisible tether to each other.
“Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart.”
They are polar opposites, but they’re differing backgrounds show that money doesn’t buy love and happiness. The story was filled with angst, heat, emotion – I cried and rejoiced with these characters. I loved the surprises and revelations that happened along the way to their happily ever after because at the heart of this sexy romance, is a truly emotional story of love and fate, and two people who were always meant to be together.
I highly recommend one-clicking this book. It will easily be listed among my favorites for the year!
DARE is one of those books that stay with you long after you finish the book. I fell in love with Dare and Weatherly. I couldn’t get enough of them, so I finished this book in 2 days and now I’m hoping S.L Scott writes another book about these two! I highly recommend this book to all the romance readers out there! You will not be disappointed! 5 stars across the board!
Loved this book. Very deep and meaningful.
This was such a pleasure to read! Dare is a budding rock star from the wrong side of the tracks. Weatherly is a law student from the better part of town. On paper, their relationship doesn’t make sense. Together, though, they are an epic love story. The road to happiness was not an easy one. I really enjoyed how Weatherly never gave up. She fought for them both.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book!
This book is great! I loved the fact that it is the heroine that has the money this time since it is more commonly the other way around. The love these two share is strong enough to make it through anything. I hope there will be books about the rest of the band.
Dare by S. L. Scott is the story of Weatherly Beck and Dare Marquis.
Weahterly and Dare are very opposite people who come together for one night but that night leads to more. They each have issues but they are finding that together they can overcome their past.
Enjoyed their story and this author’s writing.
A rock star romance not to be missed, Dare by S.L. Scott totally blew me away, pulled my heartstrings and left me smiling like a swooning teenager.
What more could a girl want than a lead singer and guitarist? To Weatherly Beck that would be a sexy as sin, tattooed Hero with a killer smile and voice that commands a room.
When life blows up for Weatherly, she finds herself at a bar not normally on her radar. So the last thing she expects is to have said rock star squeeze his way in her head and have her wanting more.
Weatherly and Dare have an undeniably strong pull neither can resist; will a one-night stand be enough, will this be the beginning they didn’t see coming or will fate have different plans?
I was so captivated by this novel, I absolutely loved and soaked up all the emotions as they hit me at full speed.
I felt true depth to the these words which led me fall for the characters even more.
A recommended read for sure.
What a beautiful, opposites attract romance of two kids who meet by chance, and somehow are destined again to be in the right place at the right time, like a moth to a flame… two souls that were meant to be together. The instant attraction between Dare and Weatherly is igniting, and the whole rocker persona dials the swoon factor up a notch! And although the story was predictable with the conflict and drama that happens when a good girl meets the bad boy from the wrong side of town, the endearing moments and discovery of connection between Dare and Weatherly elevated the story to another level with their acceptance, trust and love of one another.
Listened to on audio: This book takes you on an incredible journey of fate and love beating the odds, and the narration of Ava Erickson and Sebastian York brought all those feels and emotions to life, truly displaying the growth and compassion of both main characters. Their arsenal of secondary character voices is beyond compare, which made me also fall in love with English… hoping he gets his own bad boy/rockstar romance soon!
4.5 ‘Meant to Be’ Stars!
I loved this opposites attract love story. Dare is a struggling musician, working hard for his bands big break. Weatherly was raised with privelage and expectations. She always did what was required of her, never living her own life. When she catches her fiance with another women, she runs out determined to make changes. When she meets Dare, they both feel a familiarity along with instant attraction. Dare is everything her family despises, but he makes her feel alive for the first time. Dare can’t stop thinking about Weatherly but is worried he can’t provide for her in the way she is accustom. But Weatherly isn’t like the rest of her social circle and soon, thanks to Dare, is strong enough to be her own person. But Weatherly’s family have their own plans for her that could tear them both apart for good. This is a sweet, breathtaking and steamy romance with lots of heart. Scott has a beautiful way of weaving a story that captures your imagination and your heart. I loved Dare and Weatherly, and how they fought for each other. I especially enjoyed, and was brought to tears by the ending!
I loved the amazing narration by Sebastian York, and Ava Erickson. They completely captured these characters and made me feel all the hope, heartbreak, love, and passion they possessed. I was completely mesmerized by their storytelling.
“Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart.”
No one writes swoony rock stars like SL Scott! Just when you find your favorite, a new one shows up! I LOVED Johnny Outlaw and then said “Johnnie who?” when I met Jett Crow. Well move over Jett because I took the ultimate “Dare”! That is Dare Marquis! Lead guitarist and singer for The Heroes…
“Dare Marquis is a bad boy rock star with a body to match.”
‘Cocky.
Devilish good looks.
A voice that commands attention.”
Sl Scott writes a beautiful and romantic story that will melt your heart! Dare Marquis is the bad boy, up-and-coming rock star from the wrong side of town. Weatherly (Pepper) Beck is the sassy, smart and wealthy girl from the other side of town. A beautiful slow burn full of poetic words and romantic gestures. Hopes and dreams with a touch of angst round out Pepper & Dare’s story. Come and fall in love as their worlds collide. The swoons, the chemistry and all the feels will leave your heart full.
We also are introduced to The Heroes bandmates: Romeo, English, and Lennox who I am sure will also have a story to tell! I am thinking Romeo’s story is next….
“Our worlds couldn’t be more different, but somehow, we collided in this universe.”

Dare (A Rock Star Hero) captivated my mind right from the beginning with its prologue. I love how Dare Marquis and Weatherly Beck first met and fate brought these two back together. The appellation Pepoer that Robert (Dare) gave Weatherly and the reasons behind it is something else I loved about it. Everything fit together perfectly as they came full circle on their journey. With only a bit of angst, character building & kindred are intensified. A sacchariferous rock star love with a not so typical celebrity. I love the quote ” beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart.”. The writing style is savvy and profoundly deep. I love that we got a epilogue in the end giving us all the right vibes.
Narators Sebastian York and Ava Erickson are the perfect dual pair. I absolutely love Sebastian’s baritone voice and Ava’s sweet and sensual elements that she conveys while speaking. Their inflection is flawlessl & listening is smooth sailing all the way. through. I love these two narrators and their performance together was perfect.
Dare
A Rock Star Hero
By: S.L. Scott
Narrated by: Sebastian York, Ava Erickson
An author who can write a story like this is one I will one click every time. SL Scott has a knack for bringing the best out in her writing and this rock star romance is no exception. Weatherly Beck is a law student, grown up with privilege and on the road to success when she finds her fiance cheating on her. Not surprised or particularly upset, she goes to a bar, and notices the lead singer of the band. Dare is not short of women wanting him, but there is something about Weatherly when he sees her in the crowd. When these two meet, it’s nothing short of explosive. But being the wonderfully warm, and compassionate man Dare is, he wants to take things slow. A slow burn, both from different sides of the track and the odds stacked against them, will they find their happily ever after? I loved the way this is written. The characters are so real, the story a modern day Romeo and Juliet and the flow is like chocolate, smooth and yummy. I love SL Scott, her style of writing, the fact that she’s not afraid to make her heroine’s smart, and her heroes loving. It’s an amazing listen.
Narrated by the team of Sebastian York and Ava Erickson, we have the perfect cast. York is the kind of narrator that can perform any character, and he molds into Dare. Erickson could not have been better as Weatherly. She brings in a fresh voice with spunk, smarts and a fierce loyalty all with voice inflections. You will not want to miss this one!

Q: “We’re a whirlwind romance.”
“No, babe. We’re a hurricane in the making.”
S.L. Scott is one of my favorite authors and I absolutely never turn down the chance to read a book she’s written-whether that’s an advanced copy through my blog or one that I download when I have breaks in my blog schedule. I am a rockstar romance junkie, therefore when I saw that my go to author was putting out a new rockstar romance, I jumped all over the chance to read S.L. Scott’s latest work, Dare. This book was outstanding. A sexy, sweet romance with twists that I didn’t predict and so thoroughly entertaining I read it cover to cover in one sitting.
Q: Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart.
If you haven’t had the chance to read a book written by S.L. Scott, you are truly missing out. I find her romances to be so easy to get lost in and her stories call forth a range of emotions—sometimes, I cry and at others, I laugh. And no matter how you look at it, S.L. Scott shows a remarkable ability to write stories that bring forth a wealth of emotions, thus allowing the connection between the story and the reader to be a truly seamless experience. Another thing I love about Suzie’s storytelling is the nearly tangible chemistry that she paints for all of her heroes and heroines. She’s an expert at turning the sexxxy up to scorching—leaving me in desperate need of a cold shower! Dare was all of these things and more. I loved the pace of the story and how easily Dare and Weatherly came together. While their relationship was tested, again and again, these characters showed strength and a solid connection lending a very realistic feeling to the storyline. Also, while the flow of Dare was leisurely, it was absolute perfection for the story that was being told.
Q: I became the musician I am because of a muse I never knew until two weeks ago. Weatherly.
Dare is a slow burn, dual POV, rockstar romance. The characters, Dare, the bad boy cocky hero from the wrong side of the tracks, and Weatherly (AKA Pepper), the wealthy virgin heroine, quickly won my heart and I wanted them to find their HEA desperately. Their story was very compelling… it captured my attention so thoroughly that I read straight through until 5:15 am when I finished the story. With my kids getting up less than an hour later for school, the coffee had to be extra strong that day… but I won’t deny that staying up all night reading a book by S.L. Scott is definitely worth a little lost sleep!!! If you’re a reader looking for a fresh take on a favorite subgenre (like rockstar romances, or a virgin trope) then I promise that you will love Dare every bit as much as I do! SL Scott crafted a beautiful, sweet, sexy and unique romance that I can’t wait to read again and again… 5 Stars!
Q: “When I’m with you, I don’t need to hear the music. I feel the rhythm.”
Q: “We barely know each other.”
“That’s a lie.” He starts kissing my neck, his hand resting on my chest, and then whispers in my ear, “You feel that, babe?”
My beats are strong, giving me away, so I nod.
He says, “Feel how connected we are beyond the physical. This is bigger than us.”
Voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of Dare on behalf of Spellbound Stories
What’s not to love here?
Whenever I see a new release coming out by S.L. Scott, I know I’m in for a literary treat. Her rockstar romance series, Hard to Resist, one of her best as far as I’m concerned, kept me happily turning pages late into the night or early morning, depending on your opinion! She continued the sexy rockstar excitement with The Crow Brothers series and now…Dare!
Dare and his bandmates form The Heroes, an other side of the proverbial tracks group of best friends trying to make their rock and roll dreams come true, one bar at a time. They are barely scraping by but this has been all they’ve known in their lives and not much will get in their way, if they can help it.
Weatherly, sweet but hard working law student, has had a platinum spoon firmly set in her mouth from her 1st day on earth. Her future has been mapped out in detail, but not by her! Her hard ass father, a successful attorney with a reputation for excellence, has a career waiting for her to step into, as soon as she passes the bar exam. She has shallow ‘friends’ that have always been a part of her world, but does she even like these mean girls? Her longtime boyfriend was basically chosen for her too, but only because he’s a partners son and fits into their snobbish lifestyle. So when he shows his true nature as a sleazy, unapologetic cheater, she’s soooo done. Time for some self examination, changes and for what she wants for HER future. Don’t think that she’s a weak doormat, keep watching, she will surprise you.
So, when Weatherly ends up alone, in a bar across town, who might she run into? You know who it is! Swoon! Dare is everything a bad boy rocker should be..or is he? Well, his voice could melt her, his swagger keeps her eyes on him, coming and going! The words that come out of his mouth might just keep her glued to that bar stool, waiting for whatever he’s willing to give her…wow, this guy has sheltered Weatherly wanting to be a bad, bad girl!
Does she take the risk that could change everything? Will Weatherly and Dare find any common ground when their worlds are so different? She is tougher than you think and he is just MORE underneath that hot exterior.
Once that ball starts rolling, it gains momentum and gives me a very special, heartwarming story of friendship, strength, love and fate that I was so sorry to see end…and that sweet ending…fan please! There may have been a few surprising cameos that have me hoping for more of the same in what I hope is just the beginning of more Heroes to come in future books! Yes..PLEASE!
5 MY DARE STARS!! Oh my goodness…..Dare is my new book boyfriend!! This book is my favorite by this amazing author!! Dare and Weatherly’s story touched every part of my heart. These two are perfection and I felt like I knew them as if they are part of my family and friends. You definitely need this book in your life, so what are you waiting for…..1-Click now.
It’s never a question as to whetheror not I’ll love a book written by S.L. Scott. Whatever it is, whichever of her worlds she’s writing in, I’m in. Because Suzie writes from the heart, and it shows in every one of her books. Case in point, DARE – A ROCK STAR HERO, her latest release. The love that Suzie feels for her characters is apparent from the very first page, and that love made me fall in love, too.
What do I like best about Weatherly and Dare? There is so much. Weatherly is rising up, getting ready to shrug off the things holding her back and make her mark. Meeting Dare Marquis just speeds the process, helping Weatherly see just what is important in this life. His love for her helps her to break free from the confines and plans that seem to be her birthright, and live life fully, like the bright spirited woman that she is.
Being with Weatherly, his Pepper, shows Dare that the barriers created by society are no stronger than we allow them to be. His love for her, and hers for him, allows him to step into the role that he is meant for, and to be free enough to stand up to the people that say he can’t.
Once I started this book, I could not put it down, and actually read it in one sitting. Yes, I’m a sucker for a rockstar love story, but there is much more to this story, to these characters, than that. I sincerely hope that Suzie has plans to give the other guys in the Heroes their own stories, because they are just begging to be told. DARE is riding high atop my favorites of 2019, and should most definitely be on your TBR pile. Suzie, you’ve got another winner on your hands.
Stand-alone full length told in dual POV with HEA. Dare is the lead singer of the band Heroes and his band-mates are secondary characters. I would love if they each got their own book / story. The Heroes are a struggling band out of Austin and share a home on the wrong side of the tracks. Extreme wealth is how Weatherly grew up and she has been following her parents plan even thought it is not what makes her happy. Fate has brought Dare and Weatherly together and they have sparks and chemistry in spades!! I loved their connection! They were so sweet and good to one another and when there was drama it was not too drawn out. Beautiful story, I loved it!
