ONE FLAMING WHIRLWIND!!!
Saucy! Sophie rocks the beat, skirting the trails, striking the match, lighting the fuse and blowing this little fella asunder, blasting it wide open. A raging tempest of daunting circumstances and surprising inconsistencies, takes you on one emotional rollercoaster ride. One riveting storyline and arresting plot takes on a life of its own, skyrocketing this baby straight to the stars, melding it together seamlessly. Stumbling through the trials and tribulations, along with stunning twists, enticing turns and crisp lines, testing our characters in ways they could have never anticipated. Generating explosive, well rounded scenario’s, that punch dead center with such exuberance and style, thrusting this gem into the eye of the storm, breaking it loose, blasting it into a tailspin with an astonishing culmination. The attraction and chemistry builds as each layer is peeled back exposing an undeniable bond and amplifying affections, binding them to one another perfectly. The characters are authentic and genuine with depth and qualities that blend into amazing personalities. The scenes are so abundantly descriptive it gives the illusion you were right there standing in the middle of ground zero with them. Fantastic job Sophie, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

A tad juvenile the way Rose’s drunken dare was the reason she was willing to push past her boundaries. The Dom/Sub scene was weird coming during his mourning for his ex. The whole thing was a bit off kiltered and made it difficult to read. I have a few of this author’s other books so I won’t let this stop me from her other books.

Rose works as a personal assistant to Parker. Parker runs his family’s engineering business. They’ve been friends for years but they secretly want more. Will a dare push them to take it to the next level? This is a sweet and spicy romance. Parker is strong and dominant but has moments of vulnerability. He thinks Rose is too good for him. I like Rose – when she makes up her mind to go for it, she does! She’s smart, compassionate and sexy. This is a good “friends to lovers” romance, told in dual POV and covers a range of emotions. Short and entertaining, it reminds you to seize the moment!

I fell in love with the story as I have so many other Sophie Stern novels. The author did a great job with chemistry and storyline. Stephanie and Parker have both secretly had the hots for each other for a few years, and thanks to a little dare from Stephanie’s friend, Heather, they have finally bridged that gap. Unfortunately for Stephanie, Parker learns of the dare and gets understandably upset. I loved the HEA and that the story was told from a Dual Point of View (its always nice to know what both characters are thinking).

A compelling read. This book is about Parker and Roes. She has had a crush on him for about 3 years. Roes is Parker’s personal assistant and she has just accepted a dare from her best friend Stephanie. The dare was Roes was supposed to seduce Parker in 2 weeks. As she walks into her office, Heather the receptionist tells her that Parker has canceled all of his morning meetings. There is a very important meeting and Roes has to talk him into going. She goes to his office and knocks on his door, he ignores the knock, she knocks a few more times and still, he ignores them. She walks into Parker’s office and asks him what is wrong, he doesn’t answer her so she asks again. He finally tells her that he got a call from his ex-girlfriend’s mother telling him that Janine was killed in a car accident. He was broken when he found Janine with his best friend Mike. A compelling story with lots of twists and turns.

It’s a good romance, sometimes hot, but the permanent hesitation of the two characters is annoying because from the start we understand that they like each other, and they turn around the other without ever seeing each other.
After a challenge made under the influence of alcohol, Rose agrees to seduce her boss Parker King for whom she has a crush. But she thought that he’s out of her league, and he’s persuaded if he dates Rose he would break her like he is.

A game of Truth or Dare starts it all……….but where will it end?
Sophie Stern writes a wide variety of different genres and I Dare You, King is one that I had not read by her before. But as I like most of the books I have read by her and the book description for this one looked really intriguing I grabbed it and hoped for the best. What I read was great. This is a story that has a lot of fascinating turns when a night of Truth or Dare between Rose and her best friend Stephanie ends with Rose being dared into seducing Parker. Parker and Rose are long time friends and also employer/employee. So I can’t see anything wrong with this dare…………………….nothing to see here so just keeping moving along folks!!! Yeah right! As if it were that simple! The dare sets off a chain of events that also involve other people and some miscommunications. But once they talk everything out they do get their HEA.
This is a nicely written book with a fun and quite twisty story-line that kept me engaged while reading. The characters, both main and supporting, have been well written and have some emotion and depth to them. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of this genre by Sophie Stern.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Rose has been in love with her boss, secretly, for the longest time. But she believes he is way out of her league and just sees her as a close friend. When her best friend dares her to seduce him, she does what she always has…she goes for it.
Parker has been in love with his personal assistant/close friend Rose for some time, but believes he’s not worthy of someone like her. The last lady that had his heart stomped on it and caused him to be cold and hard. But when Rose takes things into her hands and kisses him one morning – the flames ignite.
When the truth comes out though, will the flames die out or will they stay burning?
Sophie is a new, to me, author and I loved everything about this story. I enjoyed the whole truth or dare game concept – it made me smile and laugh because Rose and Parker are both so lovable. I loved seeing them get together, work thru issues, and the steam they made…I had to fan myself a couple of times. Sophie nailed it with this book and I look forward to reading more of her works.

3 1/2 Stars!
I was intrigued by the blurb to this romance as it seemed a little dark and compelling. What I got was a sweet office romance with a friends to lovers theme.
While I liked the main couple and their scenes were well done, the pacing was a bit off balanced and threw me off a little.
Rose’s persona differed from her potty mouthed, slightly funny musings that showed through in her POVs inner dialogue. Kind of highschool-ish in the way her drunken dare was the reason she was willing to overcome her boundaries with Parker.
Parker’s persona was also odd as it conflicted with the way he internally felt about Rose, supposedly for years.
His dominant behavior with her came out of the blue and they suddenly had a soft Dom/sub like scene that was weird in the midst of his mourning for his ex, Janine.
It took a while for them to finally get together, then whoosh, it was over. A brief conversation with his friend, and whoosh, all was forgiven.
Kudos to the author for the lack of cheating and tying it all together at the end.
