Daring His Passion (Daring Desires, #2), my thirty-third read from author Ann Omasta. Another, entertaining, and well-written read more adult in nature than other things I’ve read so far from her (as narrator the author does a wonderful job). I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I’ll be reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Daring His Passion
Daring Desires, Book 2
By: Ann Omasta
Narrated by: Ann Omasta
Did you have that friend that always outshines you? Reed’s best friend Dirk is that kind of friend. The one who always wins. When Dirk marries the girl of Reed’s dreams, he moves on and glances from a distance, which is frequent since Dirk and Reed work together. Now when Cassie comes to Reed, passion filled, what is he to do? Should he sleep with her? What about his friendship and his company? What will it do to his and Cassie’s friendship? This love triangle is the kind I love. Dirk is that guy I love to hate. He takes what he wants, and that doesn’t even satisfy him. Reed is the one we all want to fall in love with. Loyal and loving to the end. And Cassie, well she just wears the blinders. It’s a hot, passionate listen and a lot of fun. Narrated by Ann Omasta herself, she lets Reed tell us his story with all the emotions he goes through. IA quick steamy story to light those Daring Desires.

Daring His Passion (Daring Desires #2) was a great read by Ann Omasta. Reed had not only seen Cassie first but wanted her first. Unfortunately for him, his best friend claimed her first. She then wound up marrying his best friend Dirk, who is a womanizer. Reed finally got his chance with Cassie when he had a night of passion with him. I really enjoyed reading Reed and Cassie’s story and can’t wait to read more by Ann Omasta.
He’d lived for years loving his best friend’s wife and doing nothing about it … and then things changed in this very hot romance about selfishness and deception and betrayal. Omasta has a talent for taken forbidden fruit and making it all the more delicious for being off limits, and this is another one of “those” stories.
If you’re into clean, wholesome marriage and the missionary position romances, you should probably give this one a pass, but if you enjoy spicy hot romance and a plot where the victims win and the bad guy gets his, you’ll probably like Daring His Passion as much as I did.
Cheating. Bullying. Obsession. Lying. Trickery. Abuse. This book didn’t make me feel good. I was pulling for Reed. But, why would he put up with Dirk? He walks all over him!
I was gifted this Audible book by the author. I really like it when she reads her books. Knowing they are her words always makes it special for me. And her voice is unique and enjoyable.
3 stars for the story. 5 stars for the narration.
What a bunch of self-absorbed narcissists! There are ways this storyline could have been done that would have had me invested in Cassie, Reed, and even Dirk rather than being disgusted by their actions. As with the previous book, I have serious issues with the relationship boundaries this story crosses. I HATE cheaters! I honestly believe that if you want to start another one, then you need to fully exit the relationship you’re currently in first. To me, Reed came across as a spineless sap who has an unhealthy obsession with a woman he really doesn’t know. He has zero ability to stand up for himself. It really bugged me that he could just abandon the company he’s a founding partner of without a single care or concern. Cassie wasn’t much better, she might even have been worse. Not only does she apparently not have the ability to think for herself, she’s manipulative too. Dirk may have been a thoroughly vile human being, but at least he displayed some backbone. It might be because of the length of the story, but the characters felt very flat. I thought Reed forgave Cassie far too easily. And I was utterly incensed by his line ‘I suddenly realized that I had been completely selfish in my reaction to this situation. I had failed to think about it all from her perspective.’ Excuse me?! He’s worried that he hurt the feelings of the woman who lied to, manipulated, and seduced him? Nope. Not happening in my universe. I also would have killed for a little bit more detail about what happened to bring about the epilogue. It’s a very sweet ending, but there’s a whole lot of water under that bridge that I needed to know more about. I’ve read books from further on in the series and I mostly enjoyed them. Other than the author’s skill with the English language, I’m having difficulties reconciling that these are part of the same series.
