Tease Me is the fourth book of the steamy new Dare to Dream series from author Amanda Bailey.
He enforces the rules, she breaks them.
Addison Cooper dates…a lot. The problem? Her whole dating life is a series of first dates that never lead to more. She’s starting to think she may never find someone who will accept her as she is. With no one special taking up her free time, she agrees to help … she agrees to help her brother get a mentorship program off the ground. What she doesn’t expect is having to work alongside the cop who always seems to be there when she’s at her worst.
As a dedicated police officer, Jackson Reed plays by the rules. Always. Even off the job. His number one rule—no relationships—has never been tough to follow…until now. Lately, his friend Ethan’s younger sister has slowly been creeping under his skin. Addison’s recklessness and her sassy, sexy mouth drive him insane. For the first time in his life, he’s tempted to throw caution to the wind—no matter the cost.
Is their wild, one-of-a-kind chemistry enough to base a relationship on, or will they both end up alone in the end?

Jackson, oh beautiful sweet Jackson. You are a breath of fresh air to read. This was an absolutely amazing book! It was so refreshing to read two characters where the drama in their relationship was due to a hardship in the characters life vs drama that is brought into some love stories because their needs to be conflict. Jackson and Addison are perfect and honest and raw. Addison is funny and direct. I love that about her. She is a take charge character which was fun to read. This book not only gave me a really good cry (thank you Amanda Bailey), but it gave me a book boyfriend to drool over with Jackson. This is a must read!!!
Enjoyed the inter play between Addy and Jackson. She really is a rule breaker ( which is unusual for a teacher). The kids were adorable too!
4.5
This is my first book by Amanda and I am so glad she reached out!
I love a good brothers best friend. Especially the where brothers best friend is close enough to the family to see the kid sister in some of the worst views possible that family only seems to have. Basically what we have going on here.
Jackson has seen Addison at some of her worsts. They have a, in my opinion, hilarious love hate relationship at the beginning. Bickering in a way where if you were a bystander you’d just know it could lead to somewhere. I’m a sucker for underlying slow burn tensions.
However, once this fire was lit, it was flaming hot.
There were a few times Jackson kinda peeved me. I get it, men arnt perfect, but he made up for it with his thoughts on Addison.
Addison is a strong kick-A modern women. I love her strengths and weaknesses because they are so relatable.
An enjoyable read, and a steamy one too!
I can not wait to read what else Amanda has written!
This beautifully written love story is based on Jackson a police officer and Addison a maths teacher. Two people that have a fear of relationships. One always having her heart broken and other fear of losing a person he loves. From the get go these two don’t like each other but are forced to work together on a mentor program. When they realize they work well together to support the kids they are supporting, attractions start.
When an accident occurs Addison helps Jackson heal in more ways. It was so hard to read knowing how much they belonged together, they were meant to heal each other. If you’re looking for sweet, funny, steamy this is the book for you.
This was the first book I read of Amanda’s and I’m so glad I had this opportunity because it won’t be my last. The ending made me wanting more. I received this as an arc to give an honest opinion and I would gladly recommend it to everyone.
Who can resist a man in uniform!! The cop and the school teacher do not get on. Or is all their energy put into fighting to avoid what they really want? These two had some series chemistry. Loved the story, loved the banter, loved the slowish burn. Loved it!!!!
Wow just wow. I literally could not put this book down until I got to the end. Some of the things that happened in the story gave me some ideas that might be happening in the next one so I can’t wait for the fifth book to come out in this series
Tease Me
By Amanda Bailey
Main Characters: Addison and Jackson
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars
This book is part 4 of the Dare to Dream series. An m/f contemporary romance with a HEA ending. Opposites do attract. Addison is a teacher and Jackson is a strait-laced cop. He thinks she is reckless, hence the number of times he has had to pull her over. She is upfront strong and speaks her piece. These two do not get along in the beginning. Then they start to work together in a mentorship program. This book has a good plot and the characters are well defined and likable. This is only the 2nd book I have read by this author and I would love to read more. Highly recommend.
I was given a free review copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily left my unbiased review. OMG I love this book! I love Addison and her I don’t take crap from anyone sass. Sheww…. I absolutely love Jackson. This was another amazing book by Amanda Bailey. Love this series!!!
This is the 4th book in this fascinating series and is Addison and Jackson’s story. Jackson is a police officer who is a stickler for the rules and he is under the impression that Addison is immature and reckless, and they are links petrol and a match to begin with that is until events have him changing his mind. No spoilers: this is a must read you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story with engaging characters and plot, and I was intrigued throughout this slow burn romance story. I highly recommend this talented authors’ work for all.
I loved this book that I read in one sitting. Jackson and Addison’s story is a great addition to the Dare to Dream series. Addison is asked to help mentor a youth program by her brother Ethan. Jackson is a police office and he is also asked to help with the youth. The attraction between Addison and Jackson is intense but neither of them want to admit because of the fact that Addison is Ethan’s little sister and who is Jackson’s best friend. Will these to give into temptation?? Can Jackson and Addison give there relationship a chance? You will have to read this book to see what happens with Jackson and Addison.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I was given a free review copy of this book at my request in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed Addison and Jackson, it was an easy, fast-paced read, the characters are adorable and very straightforward, which I really like. The book concentrates primarily on the couple, unlike previous books, and though I missed a little to keep up with everyone else’s lives in this series, the storyline was more than enough to engage me. I hope the next book is as entertaining as this one, as, especially in these convoluted times, it provided a much-needed escape from real life.
I’m a sucker for books that flip the script on well-loved tropes so I was pretty intrigued by the premise for Tease Me. Addison is a reckless, sassy, free spirit and Jackson is the straight laced cop. I wouldn’t say it’s a total inversion of the “bad boy/good girl” trope, but it’s pretty close!u2060

While Addison is hopeful to find her own happily-ever-after, a string of bad first dates has left her doubting her chances. Jackson is the total opposite – his own upbringing has left him with a chip on his shoulder about relationships.u2060
u2060
Her brothers mentorship program for local kids and Jackson’s leave of absence from the force after an injury put them in close proximity. While Jackson has seen her at her worst on more than one occasion, it ends up endearing her to him more than anything. Still, he isn’t eager to partake in a traditional relationship.u2060
u2060
They keep it casual at first but fire this hot can’t be kept subdued for long. Eventually the flame burns hot and bright and they have to decide if the flame is one they want to fan brighter or snuff out completely. I loved seeing them reach that impasse and having an honest, straightforward conversation about it. No one acts hasty based on assumptions – insecurities and doubts aren’t washed away but they give each other the gift of honesty.u2060

Tease Me is a fun, flirty read that will grab your attention from the first page and keep you alternating between swooning and sighing for a Jackson of your own – and a family/friend group as awesome as this one!u2060
I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!
