I have tropes that are almost an automatic one-click for me. Rockstars aren’t one of them….UNLESS it’s one of S.L. Scott’s rockstars because in that case, I can’t one-click fast enough. I don’t know what it is about them, but I know I’m gonna swoon and sigh and fall in love, and honestly what more can a girl ask for?
Well, listen, I knew all of this going in and yet Dare Marquis still swept me off my feet and caught me by surprise. I think he might be my favorite hero of hers. I would happily take him of Weatherly’s hands. He is so genuine and a little damaged, but he’s an overcomer and passionate and when this boy loves he loves big. I loved the draw and the chemistry between Dare and Weatherly. But I don’t want to overlook how strong and loveable Weatherly is. I liked her from the start and throughout the book I found myself rooting for her and watching her grow I felt like a cheerleader on the sidelines for their relationship.
So basically, I loved every minute of this so much. I couldn’t put it down and I didn’t want it to end I could have stayed in this world with Weatherly, Dare, and the band forever and been deliriously happy.
“Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart.”
Every time I read a hero by S. L. Scott I swoon. There is something so sexy and sweet in her Rockstars/”bad guys”.
Dare and Weatherly come from two different words but when they collide they can’t help themselves.
“There’s no saving us now. We’re too far-gone. A lost cause to love.”
A love like theirs is meant to be but also is destined to cause heartache. A love like theirs only comes once in a lifetime. A love like theirs is worth the fight.
I couldn’t stop reading Dare from the moment I was introduced to the characters. I needed to know what was next for them. This is the kind of read that makes you heart hurt but also it makes it happy.
As much as I loved S.L. Scott’s past rock star romance-themed novels–i.e. the Hard to Resist series and the Crow Brothers series–Dare and Weatherly’s story captured my whole heart, forcing all other Scott-penned novels done a notch and claiming top spot as my favorite. This was tale of true love and how fate finds a way. I adored these two from the moment they first cross paths, and rooting for them wasn’t a hardship at all. There was this connection that they shared from the get-go, and through everything that they experience as individuals and as a couple, you see that they deserve nothing less than a better, happier life together. Scott never fails to make me wish that her main characters are real people whose lives I wish I could follow even after that final page. Yes, they get their HEA, but it’s almost as if the author makes good on the old adage “Always leave them wanting more,” because I wanted more! Scott brings together elements of drama and humor as well as the tried and tested romance that have her readers coming back for more again and again. I dare you to try and resist falling in love with Dare. Five-plus stars.
This author certainly knows how to write rock star/bad boy characters, but I wouldn’t call Dare a bad boy – oh no, he’s sweet, swoony, sexy and romantic. And this isn’t just a rock star/rich girl run-of-the-mill rock band book — there’s so much more to the storyline — lots to think about and reflect upon. Dare and Weatherly have chemistry in “spades” and their emotional journey is one I won’t forget. I loved the Resistance books, adored the Crow Brothers, admired the Everest Brothers and now I know I’m going to be following the newest band in Austin — the Heroes! Great read!

Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart.
As usual, SL Scott delivers another hit with this story of a hot rockstar from the wrong side of town and a wealthy heroine from the right side of town. I loved the premise behind the story and when they finally realize why their hearts automatically knew the other, I fell in love with the story all over again.

SL Scott does it again. When I dive into one of her books I have no doubt that I’m going to fall in love…and fall in love I did with the swoony, sexy rocker Dare. He’s smart, talented and pure man candy. Deep down he has a heart of gold and once he sets his sights on Pepper, his broken heart starts to mend.
Do you believe in fate?! I believe that Weatherly was meant to find Robert, aka Dare in the most unexpected of places. She’s sweet and honest, her family always having a say in her life until Dare opens her eyes to new possibilities. I loved watching her blossom, the two of them bringing out the best in one another. These two are pure magic, meant to be in every sense of the word and their journey was pure joy

Oh my gosh! This book is everything. Dare and Weatherly’s story is absolutely beautiful. They couldn’t have come from more opposite backgrounds. Dare’s was not easy and because of that it made him into the man he was. Their story was flawlessly written and beautiful. This is a must read!!
*Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart*
Sometimes you just can’t help but fall for a story that captures your heart word by word. It took me some time but it was worth the rollercoaster ride. There were some things in the story that took me by surprise and I didn’t see coming. A rockstar love story you don’t want to miss!
Weatherly is doing her best to pass the bar exam to become a lawyer but something seems to be missing. When she sees her boyfriend cheating on her, it’s like her eyes are finally opening and she takes a chance to go somewhere she has never been before. When she first meets Dare, there’s this instant attraction and also a familiar feeling between them but they lose track of one another. With the pressure of her family, she doesn’t know what to feel anymore and it feels like she’s lost a big part of herself along the way. When she and Dare reconnect, slowly she’s rediscovering herself and finally comes to realise what she really wants from life. But nothing is easy and when it all seems to be crashing down around them, they’ll have to fight for more than just their relationship… Will their love stand a chance in all the turmoil?… And will Dare finally get the break he has been working for?…
Dare is one swoon-worthy hot rockstar who will make you fall in love. Lana~White Hot Reads
Dare and Weatherly’s story is absolutely breathtaking. No judgement from either of them as they both come from different sides of the track but fall hard for each other. These two are perfect and learn what is means to be free.
Hang on to your panties ladies and gents, Dare is a book you don’t want to miss. How can you go wrong with different sides of the tracks and rock star romance? The answer you can’t and once you read Dare you will see why that is so true. Dare “Robert” is beyond swoon-worthy. He is a sexy rocker who is misjudged before you get to know him. He is just everything. Weatherly “Pepper” is amazing. I love how much she comes out of her shell as the story goes on and Dare enters her life. She sees everything so differently once she hangs out with The Heroes. I love Dare and Weatherly together. They are smoking hot and you can just feel that everlasting love between them. I love this one so much and dare I say I want more Heroes. S.L. Scott knows what she is doing when she gives you these rockers to fall in love with. I couldn’t put this one down and was sucked in from the start.
This story grabbed my attention from the very first chapter and held it until the very end. I don’t keep it a secret that Rock Star romances are my Kryptonite, and I can confidently say that Dare is up there with my favourites.
Dare and Weatherly’s backgrounds couldn’t have been any more different growing up, but once they met their attraction and connection to each other didn’t care which postcodes/zipcodes they lived under. I admired both characters immediately. There is more to their story than just ‘boy meets girl’ and I loved that element.
Dare stole my heart. He hasn’t had an easy start in life but that hasn’t stopped him from being a caring and passionate person. His bandmates are his family and I loved how much they supported each other and were there for each other.
Weatherly has had everything she needs at her disposal and you may think that she is a lucky young lady to have such privileges, but believe me they came with a price.
Both Dare and Weatherly are two individuals travelling along paths that they may or may not have wanted to be on, and what I adored about this couple is that that they brought out the best in each other and made each other chase their dreams.
I loved getting to know the other members of The Heroes (the band) and maybe the author plans to write their stories too…. I don’t know. I do know that I for one would love to read them!
This book has everything I could ask for – A fabulous story. A great connection between the characters. Lots of emotion that had me feeling it along the way too. This is another fantastic novel from S.L. Scott and one that I recommend without a second thought.
Dare ruined me for any further rockstar books!
Dare and Weatherly are another dream couple created by this so very talented author. Again the characters are crafted very vividly and detailed, so much that at the end of the book they seemed to be old acquaintances and Iexpected them to knock on my door at any minute. They seem to be so genuin and authentic to the smallest detail that it is unbelievable…
The plot is twisted and in between I doubted a happily ever after for this couple… not only once. There are just too many obstacles to overcome… But you have to read that for yourself!
I was captivated from the first page on and had to read the book in one go.
I loved the emotional depth that sent me on a roller coaster ride of my life. I loved the characters – more than I can tell – and I loved everything in between!
This book is epic!!! Swoon-worthy!!!
When a chatty, inquisitive little girl makes a lasting impression on young Rob, neither of them ever guessed that years later they’d be in each other’s lives again.
Six years later, Weatherly decides to just walk, after having witnessed her latest relationship crumbling. Fate must have been having its way with her, because it’s the night she meets a gorgeous up and coming rocker named Dare Marquis.
“I know he’s trouble. He’s the sexiest kind of trouble I ever did see, and maybe, just maybe he’s the kind of trouble I need to release some steam.”
A rockstar romance AND it’s opposites attract?!? S.L. Scott’s rockstar reads are always fabulous (Crow Brothers anyone?!) but when she adds in one of my favorite tropes like opposites attract, it just makes it so much more delicious. I like the contrasts between Dare and Weatherly’s upbringings, but that their adult selves fit with each other seamlessly and perfectly. But my #1 favorite thing about Dare is Dare himself. He’s such a sweetheart and so damn sexy and soulful…damn, I want a Dare all to myself now!
“It was just a matter of time until our souls met again because we aren’t just forever. We’re for eternity.”

An incredibly romantic, magical and heartfelt story! I have been reading S.L. Scott’s books for years and I swear each new couple she writes burns brighter and hotter then the last! All the feelings that she invokes and the swoon worthy men she writes is utterly inspiring! She makes me believe in fairy tales again! Dare and Weatherly are absolute couple goals! Their open, respectful, equal and loving relationship was perfect! I was riveted from the beginning of this story until the end. They were both so sweet and quirky and I loved the cute way they bantered back and forth. A must read if you are looking for a beautiful, emotional, depth filled story! I freaking loved it!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Dare Marquis is a bad boy rock stare with a body to match. Cocky. Devilish good looks. A voice that commands attention. A night with him and no strings attached is just what I need. But he makes it impossible to not want more when he runs his hand through his dark, wild hair and smiles. One he only shares with me.
Weatherly Beck is an angel with a body made for sin. Whip-smart. Drop dead gorgeous. Too good for any guy from the east side. Her life is planned out, so I don’t have a right to step in and mess up her future. But when I look into her sapphire blue eyes and taste the innocence on her lips, I know we’re meant to be more than a one-night stand. I want her to take a chance on me, to take a chance on us.

Oh wow!!! I am not the biggest fan of rock star romances for some odd reason. However, this one is absolutely amazing. I loved the story of Weatherly and Dare. When they first meet you can just feel it in your heart that they are going to be something spectacular. These two are so very very different. Their backgrounds couldn’t be further apart. From the moment they meet it doesn’t matter that they are from opposite sides of the streets. Dare will make you fall in love with him so hard you will wish that he is real and could be yours forever. He is so caring and passionate about his music, friends and just everything in general. He and his band mates which they all consider family are just amazing. Weatherly has had everything she has ever wanted handed to her. However as great as that may seem it all comes with a price for Weatherly. These two are just destined to be epic together and you are going to love finding out just exactly what that means. I loved this book. I devoured it. You do not want to miss this book from S.L. Scott. It will absolutely blow you away.
S.L. Scott is an automatic 1-click author for me. I have loved every book she has written and I have a soft spot for her rockers, Dalton anyone? So, when I heard she was releasing a book about a Rockstar, I was all over it! Dare is the story of two very different and opposite type of people, Dare and Weatherly.
I cannot begin to express how much I loved Dare. He was sexy and charming , but also very caring. A sexy bad-boy Rockstar with a big heart. His life has not been easy, but he has worked hard to be where he is today. Weatherly is the good girl who has her life planned out and always doing what is expected. Yet she was not afraid to take a chance. I loved her strength and determination.
When they meet, the sparks fly right off the pages! But choices have consequences, especially from those around them. Dare by SL Scott was full of steamy chemistry, angst, great characters and a story that will consume you. I loved seeing them fall and navigate their relationship and those around them. Another great read from S.L. Scott.

Happy reading!
When a SL Scott book hits my kindle I tend to release a happy sigh because I know I’m about to get hours of entertainment and enjoyment. There’s something about her rockstar men that I just can’t get enough of. Dare is all man, all bad boy. His charm and sinful, devilish ways is something no woman can walk away from once his sights are set. His eyes land on Weatherly, and believe you me, she’s looking right back at him. She likes what she sees, as does Dare. They have an instant connection. A connection that reaches far deeper than just between the sheets.
Nothing is as simple as it should be. Dare and Weatherly are from opposite sides of the world. He’s from a world where he lives hard and fast. He has lived by his sinfully sexy voice that makes him a heartthrob to every woman in earshot. Weatherly has been living a more privileged life. She bad her entire future planned. Dare changes things. He wasn’t among her plans. You know the best things about plans? Changing them and following your heart.
Again, I feel a sigh coming on. Just a sweet and contentment feeling in my heart. Scott’s writing is beautiful and she gives her characters life with a gorgeous story. These two were just lovely and so sexy together. I loved the connection they shared. It was an immediate response to each other and I was immediately inti their story.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
“This woman is angelic and I am the devil incarnate.”
S.L. Scott is doing what she does best with Dare and that’s giving us ROCKSTARS! I absolutely LOVED this story and everything about it. This story was just what my heart needed right now. I’m a sucker for Rockstar Romances but Dare is officially one of my favorites. Everything about this story was just unique, heart warming, and HOT. It has the perfect mix of sweet whirlwind romance with a dose of angst and heartbreak. I could NOT be more in love with these characters. (Minus a few, but hey you have those with every story.) Rather it was secondary or main characters the author made you love them all. I truly hope we will be seeing more of the bands stories coming soon, as well as Stacia. Dare and Weatherly are some serious relationship goals! Everything about their love story was utterly magical. Their chemistry was some of the best I have read. It ignites the pages of your kindle with a slow sinful burn. I most definitely have a new couple to add to my favorites list.
“She’s become my muse. The one I’ve always been singing to.”
Weatherly was a heroine that captured my heart immediately. I found her characters very easy to connect and vibe with. She was bold, funny, and determined. I truly enjoyed watching her character develop and grow throught this story. She went from a naive shy lady, to bold spit fire women. My heart hurt for her many times. But I admired Weatherly’s strength to always see the positive no matyer how much negative surounded her.
“He’s the sexiest kind of trouble I ever did see and just the kind of trouble I need.”
Dare is what all men should be like. Seriously, I want one and where can I find him! I loved his character SO MUCH! He is going right to the top of my favorite book boyfriends. Dare would melt you in a puddle of swoons. Only to rebuild you and melt you down again. He wore charm and romance like a second skin. He truly was the hero of this story in every way. His character was the glue that held this story together.
“His fingers finagle their way over my skin, making sure he’s touched every part of me.”
*5 STARS*
Well earned for this absolutely swoon worthy read. I can not recommend reading Dare enough. I would give this story more stars if I could because it truly deserves it. This is hands down one of my best reads in 2019!
Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you believe that love conquers all? Do you believe everything happens for a reason? These and many more questions come out of this story. Are you a product of your environment? Are you who you surround yourself with? Lastly is everyone entitled to happiness and dreams?
I have to tell you from the moment I read the prologue I was hooked and 100% invested in the story of Dare and Weatherly. He is the rockstar hero you’re looking for and she is the smart lawyer to be still trying to find herself. Together they just try to make sense with one another.
Can it work with so many trying to get in between? Well these are the burning questions. I do say burning because their chemistry is burning hot!
Believe me you’ll get everything you’re looking for; romance, sadness, smiles, laughs, anger, and heat! We get reacquainted with former characters that we love from previous stories.
I’ve read several books by this author and this one just fell into my favorite group by her.
I don’t do spoilers because you can read the blurb and get the gist and I believe it’s not fair to the author. The whole point of reading a book is to discover the story and secrets for yourself. What I will tell you is that people should not be defined by zip code, either way. Things are not always the way they seem….thank goodness. This is a story that will touch your heart as well as your soul. It defines the line in the story of, “Beauty attracts the eye, but the soul captures the heart”. To the author I say well done, this is a beautiful story that captured my heart.
What you need to know:
I devoured this book.
From the very first pages I was hooked!
Their first encounter had me like “aawwwww it’s soooooo sweet and cute”.
Then their next first encounter (because I refuse to count it as anything other than a first) had me like “I just found my new boyfriend”.
It’s drove me crazy!! In a good way. Because I was at the edge of my seat wanting all the answers to come to light.
It made me wish I could be in their bubble forever. But of course jealous people have to burst it at some point. No worries these two take all obstacles like champs. Like Heroes.
You will fall in love with Dare and will admire Weatherly. His careful, unconditional support gives her the strong backbone she needs to thrive. And her genuine love and understanding brings him back to life with confidence, happiness and most important- equality.
This book is a must!
