Dare

This isn’t the first book by S.L Scott that I have had the pleasure to read, and just like many of her others, it went off with a bang.
S.L has a way with her words that’ll suck you in from the very first page and Dare: A Rock Star Hero was definitely a MUST READ.

Dare Marquis is the bad boy rock star.
Sinful, Hot as hell, a man you lust over for years to come.
A voice like an angel but a look like a devil.
Those words that flow out of his mouth are ones that have women’s panties dropping to the floor the moment he opens his mouth. A single night with him would be heaven and hell all in one.

Weatherly Beck just may be the woman who can tame Dare. She’s beautiful, she is smart, and she has her life mapped out for her. Her future is bright and is ready for her, and is in hands reach, but that all changes the moment these two meet.

Weatherly wanted a hot one night stand with Dare, but what she thought would be ONE night, turns into so much more. How could it not? When this man is everything she craves and Dare wants her for himself, and himself only. He wants to be her Hero. Will she dare to take a chance on him? After one night, all her well planned out life starts to come apart and she is left wanting more of him. But can anyone blame her?

The heat and chemistry between these two was pulsating, addicting and all-consuming. Their one-night stand together turns into so much more. It was brilliant, it was all the feels and it was all the heat. As the book progresses we watch these two fall deeper and deeper for each other. We see different sides to each character and just when we think it couldn’t get any more intense, the author goes and throws curve balls and has me craving more of these two.

Even after the story came to an end… I was left wanting more. I loved it. I wanted to scream and beg the author to add more but at the same time, this was everything it should have been. The authors’ well-written words sunk in deep and had my mind was on overdrive the entire way through the book and Dare? Well HOT DAMN… He’s the bad boy every girl secretly longs for.

A MUST READ

There is just something about the way SL Scott writes a Rockstar Romance. I’ve been addicted to her characters since I did a full on binge read of her Hard to Resist series. I was totally blown away with her characters, but it was their flaws that made me love them. I’ve read my fair share of rockstars falling in love, but SL Scott’s rockstars? I got to travel that road to fame with them.

That vulnerability and drive to turn their music into something more, that is exactly what i got from DARE. Dare and Weatherly’s story is just the beginning for a new set of rockers to find their fame. And while doing that, they had a love story that moved me.

While Weatherly grew up with all the luxury money could buy, what it didn’t provide her with was happiness. Her life has always been about pleasing her father and following the life plan he charted out for her.

Dare has struggled his whole life. To feed himself, at a young age and now his music is making ends meet. But he strives to continue with his passion, music. His band mates aren’t just friends, but brothers. They have a support system and they work hard together.

Dare and Weatherly’s romance was a kismet kind of love. Even their first meeting was effortless. They had a connection that spoke volumes of how great a match they were. I was so drawn to these characters and utterly captivated by their story.

I’m looking forward to more “Heroes” finding their soulmates, all the while watching them rise to the level of fame they have only dreamt of.

I dare you to miss this swoon worthy love story. It is a beautiful story about two people who seem like they couldn’t be more different. But they are truly meant for each other. Its a story about finding yourself and about being comfortable with who you are. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. My heart was so full. S.L. Scott has once again written a heart grabbing swoon worthy story.

What a swoon-worthy love story! This author always crafts the most beautiful characters and wraps them in romance and lovely emotions. Dare and Weatherly are fabulous! (Wasn’t crazy about their names though.) It took me a few chapters to get into the story but after that I was all in with this wonderfully written story about love, loss, connections, fate and class distinctions. A bad boy from the wrong side of town who is riding the crest of rockstar success with his band meets a rich good girl out for a little danger and fun. Their connection is immediate and sexy and heart melting with a tie to their past. I’m a sucker and a believer a insta relationship. So yummy! There’s nothing like a beautiful boy with beautiful words and the ones Dare spoke to Pepper were magical. Great secondary characters in Dare’s band mates and I can’t wait for the rest of the Heroes stories. Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

I think this author lady needs to do an encore. Weatherly and Dare come from opposite sides of the track, yet these two are truly wholeheartedly connected emotionally. Dare is one of those guys you instantly fall for, he permeates kindness and some amazing sexy words. Then we have Weatherly, this girl is truly amazing and strong. She sees the bigger picture now and wants to the right things in her life. GAWD I loved this couple.

Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart

This is such a great story about 2 people who grew up in different lifestyles but are so in love that they know that they can conquer anything that is in their way. And destiny might also be at play too.

Weatherly Beck is finishing up her last year of law school and will be taking the bar exam. Her life has already been mapped out for her by her father. But Weatherly starts to realize that she doesn’t want to live the life that is dictated to her but is scare of change. When she meets Dare at a bar that he was performing at, there is this connection between them but they both are not sure what to do about it.

Dare has had a rough life since he was a kid. He and his band brothers are very tight and he is trying to make something of their band – Heros. Dare doesn’t do relationship because he doesn’t think he can offer any one much but when he meets Weatherly, he can’t stop thinking about her. She is constantly in his thoughts even though he is not sure he will ever see her again.

When Weatherly takes the chance to try and see Dare again, she is taking a big step of breaking out of the expectations set by others and figuring out what she really wants. Dare is always thinking about her and treats her like a person and not a possession. The two of them are so perfect together and Weatherly starts to become her own person while Dare comes to realize that he wants more in life than just the band and being a loner.

There are so many obstacles for these 2 to overcome but they are so supportive of each other that it looks like they will actually in getting everything they want, which is just to be together. When events threaten their lives, will they be able to stand together or will fear and outside influences tear them apart.

I love how Weatherly finally starts to realize that she is her own person and should do what she wants to make herself happy. And she finds out who her real friends are and who are the people that only wants to bring her down. Dare is such a sweet and loving person even though he doesn’t appear that way and people judge him by his outward appearances. I love that these 2 people fell in love with each other and then find out that maybe it was their destiny!

S.L. Scott has grabbed hold of my heart with both hands and hasn’t let go.
Dare and Weatherly are complete opposites in the life but their story, the chemistry and the passion between them is something that will keep you turning the pages.
Destiny, Kismet and Guardian Angels!
“Once upon a time, a boy full of hardships and bravery found a girl with ribbons in her hair who still believed in fairy tales. The words he spoke that day were locked away until she found him again.”

Beautifully written this book is jammed packed with every emotion possible. The lesson learned from reading Dare is to trust in yourself, stand by your beliefs and cherish every moment in life.
S.L. Scott is a master in writing matters of the heart, and this book will open up your heart and your soul.

Well, this was fun.

Here we have Weatherly and Dare, they meet just by chance in a bar and the connection is instant between these two. However, was this by chance? Is fate at play here?

I loved that fate was a key concept throughout this book, how their love story was simply meant to be.

I loved Weatherly and hated all the crap she had to deal with. She truly was surrounded by snakes and people who only wanted her for their own interest. It was sad as well, since she had such a bright light shinning, and I hated how they tried to put it out. But then came Dare and for the first time she saw she was worthy of love, attention, interest.

Dare had his own thing going on as well, he was great and had a rough life, but made it work. I loved his view on life, but felt heartbreak when he was himself as inferior 🙁 And then I loved how Weatherly never made him feel that way. Oh, if they could only stay in their bubble. *Happy sigh*

This was a lovely read, I swooned a lot and even though there were some ups and downs, they fought their way through it. <3

*Thank you to the author for providing a copy for which I’m giving my honest opinion*

Oh my gosh! My fingers and toes are crossed that S.L. Scott takes these characters and runs with them- give me a series with all these guys, pretty please! Dare completely captivated me from the first full of youthful innocence page. It’s a tale as old as time…girl from the good side of town falls for the bad boy from the “bad side” of town.

Except, Dare wasn’t a really a bad boy at all. Yes, he was a rocker and lived modestly but he also had a big heart. It showed in the way he treated his band mates and how he honored his mother. And how he respected Weatherly. He just let her be herself. Express herself. Faults, hopes, fears and all. He didn’t try to change her, just encouraged her to do what made her happy. And she returned the favor. She didn’t try to change him to fit into the mold of her world.

I don’t know how she does it, but every single time, S.L. Scott gives me a hero more swoony than the last. Dare had that in spades! Their journey was far from easy. Heck, at times I wanted to throw something I got so frustrated for them. But I loved that they stayed true to who they were and wanted to be. Fate. Destiny. Kismet…call it what you want but Dare and Weatherly’s story was meant to be.

I absolutely loved me some Dare. S.L. Scott wrote a beautiful story about love from the opposite sides of the tracks. Everyone deserves to be loved without a dollar sign next to their name or tattooed on their forehead. However, for Dare and Weatherly, things are not only not simple, they are complicated to the core.

Dare lives life following his dream. Music. Music has allowed him to explore his emotions and put them on paper. They may not heal all his issues, but his lyrics provide him a sense of healing. Or so he thinks. Until he meets Weatherly and his entire perspective changes. He sees color and happiness in the form if his “Pepper”. She blew into his life and he’s amazed by the amount of time it takes for him to truly feel in a different way entirely. And sometimes, feelings and logic can be completely opposite and you start to question everything.
