But wait. Maybe I’m not.
If I can take on the biggest dare of all.
Making Colton Wolfe fall in love with me.

I love a sassy heroine and Elle is that and more. Usually it’s the guys making stupid bets but Lauren Landish has switched that up in this book. Elle and her best friend Tiffany have been daring each other for years and having a great time doing it. But, is Colton just a dare or something more. If you like a H/h with great chemistry, witty banter, strong characters, and steamy fun, this is the book for you. Well paced, fun read!
I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

This was just okay. The writing wasn’t horrible, but I did start skimming to get to the end. Elle and Tiffany (the best friend) come across more as 19-20 year olds instead of grown women in the workforce. I’m all up for having fun, but there is a time and place for that. It was icky to read Tiffany refer to Elle’s father as “Daddy”, and it happened repeatedly. It seemed like none of the main characters had any interactions without a dare being involved. Seeing how it’s the title of the book, I knew it would be involved, but it went on way too long. I skimmed to get to the end, it was sweet and Colton and Elle get their HEA.

Omg I loved this book!! It was the combination of humor and heat. I could not get enough of The Dare and Elle and Colton. This is the perfect read!!
Quite a steamy read! Hilarious and witty banter throughout. Elle and Tiffany’s friendship is a #lifegoal for me. Underneath Colton’s stuffy British ways is a sexy man, great businessman, adored grandson and best brother to Lizzie. How could we not fall in love with him.
Elle and Tiffany met in college, roomed together and have been best friends, and partners in crime, ever since. Out of college, they both landed jobs at Fox Industries working as business assistants. Even though Elle’s father Daniel Stryker is the company’s VP, Elle wants to pay her dues and make it on her own. Plus, she gets to work beside her bestie Tiffany.
Colton Wolfe is a transplant to Fox Industries by way of London. Colton left his homeland in search of bigger and better opportunities. He too was looking to make an name for himself. He also wanted to prove to his father that he was more than capable of being a success in business without his help.
Daniel and Colton are vying for a new position and both consider using Elle as leverage against the other. Daniel wants his daughter to keep her eyes and ears open to any gossip regarding Colton. Colton has bigger plans for how to use Elle.
Struggling with her growing feelings for Colton and her loyalty to her father, Elle is confused by the expectations each man has regarding her.
She knows she should follow her heart, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

The Dare is funny, saucy and unpredictable. Landish continues to surprise me. Elle and Colton flirt with emotions from start to finish, but it’s the message their journey conveys that will stick in your heart long after you walk away. Landish dishes up a little food for the soul with a ton of steam and that ever present heart.
Audio Review: The Dare by: Lauren Landish (Author), Shane East (Narrator), Carly Robins (Narrator)
Landish has a wicked sense of humor. Audio gives her the chance to finally put it on full display. Robins and East are a temptation that is not to be missed. They give voice to what was already an addictive temptation. Elle and Colton are the best kind of naughty, because they not only stir up senses, but appeal to the heart. Whether laughing out loud or holding your breath, Landish and company give you the feels in the most tempting and delightful way.

The Dare was fun & flirty. This was a really good book and you could enjoy the interesting relationship between Elle & Colton. Drama? Plenty but it won’t rip your heart out unnecessarily. Humorous?

Cheeky and Sassy Romance…
Delightful and amusing best describes this story about Elle Stryker and Colton Wolfe. Elle and BFF Tiffany are dare junkies. They both work for Fox Industries as does Elle’s father Daniel. Colton Wolfe, VP also works for the company and try as she might Elle cannot get the man’s attention. He is gorgeous, sexy and has an English accent to boot. I personally would not have a problem giving my basket of goodies over to the Big Bad Wolfe.
After a very risky dare by her BFF, Elle succeeds in getting Colton’s attention big time. That’s when all the games begin. Colton who does not take relationship risks, finds himself besotted with Elle. He loves her free spirit and feistiness. At first he just thought she was a nutter, but that quickly changed.
Their story is sizzling hot, but also comical. A killer combination in a romance novel.
Fabulously funny, sweetened with daring feats of crazy throughout, and an undeniable off the charts smoking connection between Elle Stryker and her dare of a lifetime Colton Wolfe, made ” The Dare ” in my opinion an MVP of romantic comedies!
A unique, unputdownable cover to digital cover read- Lauren Landish outdid herself!
Elle and Colton’s story was a hit from the very beginning. The story was not only filled with passion and chemistry between these two but great banter and humor not just with Elle and Colton but with her best friend as well. I love the way the dares each of the characters had with one another and the animal idioms were great. I was surprised at how many she came up with and was able to weave them throughout the story. This was just such a feel good story and I could not put it down until I finished it. I loved the HEA!

The Dare
What a fun & light hearted read, I had a great time reading this Rom-Com. All of Elle & Tiffany’s Dares were nutty, witty & at times so heartfelt!! They were definitely ‘ride or die’ besties. Both were protective, encouraging & ready to push the others boundaries if they needed it!
I loved the concept of Colton & Daniel, Elle’s prospective boyfriend & her over protective Dad, being corporate competitors within the same company!! As Elle & Colton take their Dare games to places that they may well regret, their friendship & relationship deepens!!
(As a Brit, I cringed a bit at some of the stuff! We truly aren’t THAT bad. Oh, it’s a ‘chippy’ or a ‘chip shop’ but *never* a chippy shop to anyone I’ve ever met.)
This is a wonderfully warm hearted, sexy & romantic read that definitely shouldn’t be missed!!

The Dare by Lauren Landish tells the story of Elle Stryker and Colton Wolfe.
This story tells how Elle came into Colton’s orbit. Without giving much away, you are getting a great office romance. The chemistry between Elle and Colton is hot!! Their banter is flirty, intense and tempting. Then you add the secondary cast of characters- Elle’s BFF – Tiffany and Elle’s father Daniel.
Elle is supremely attracted to Colton but papa dear is up against him work wise and Elle doesn’t know what to do. The pace moves pretty quick story wise and your never left to wish the pace would pick up. The story moves quickly and the characters are outstanding; the feelings that come forth , the angst , the feels, romance, drama, steam is utter amazing. I can’t wait to read stories for the secondary characters here. Elle and Colton’s love story is full and lively with heart and heat.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
This was a straight up delightful read. A rom-com that delivers the perfect balance of laugh-out-loud humor, cold beverage need inducing sizzle, heartfelt emotions and swoons. Elle and Colton are one of those couples that are truly a perfect pair. They are immensely likable and easy to root for. I loved the sparkling chemistry and clever banter they shared. Toss in some drama and bit of emotional turmoil and this is definitely a book that should be on the top of your Must Read list.
I liked this story and I liked Colton. Elle was a little harder only because it was hard to put myself in her place.
I really enjoyed this book. There is conflict, but not between Elle and Colton. They are super hot together (once he “sees” her), and really fun. They feel very real. They are both smart and driven and appreciate that in each other. Elle’s relationship with her BFF is also amazing and hysterical. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
Simply, entertaining with a witty heroine and a delicious Hero! This is a sexy office romance that will have you laughing your bottom off. Five stars for Lauren Landish and The Dare!
Elle and Colton heat up the pages of this must read book! Two characters you will fall for. You won’t want to put this book down. These two and their “dares” will have you giggling right along with them.
Highly recommended!!
