I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
At a party with friends, after a couple of body shots and a risque game of Truth or Dare, lines are crossed between me and a long-time friend.

This is a friends to lovers romance and it was really cute and sweet to read. Cillian and Midge have been friends forever and a day and have never ever crossed the line to make it anything more. Until one night when they have been drinking and a game of truth or dare and desire takes over. This leads to a relationship that both of them define differently. To her it is a friends with benefits thing but to him this is so much more. Cillian is a character that hasn’t grown up in tragic circumstances but has turned into a man that is quiet the man and is very easy to fall in love with. He is very charming and a very nice guy. Midge lives her life the way she wants to and is a bit different. She is outspoken and has had a crush on Cillian for forever but is terrified to take a chance on him due to the failure of her past relationships. These two are funny and carry a chemistry that is smoking hot. However can they get past what they need to to find their happily ever after? You have to read to find that out. This story is told from dual points of view and I love that.
Truth or Dare was one of those wonderful books that once you start reading, you’re unable to put down because the characters are just so relatable, funny, sweet and sexy. Truth or Dare tells the story of Cillian and Midge. Cillian and Midge have been friends forever and have never crossed the line into more. That is until one drunken night when a game of Truth and dare opens a can of worms and desire takes over…alas not everything is smooth sailing and the two characters find themselves in a relationship which they both define differently.
I really enjoyed reading about the tattooed, sweet artist that was Cillian. There is a hint of vulnerability to him that is really charming and he comes across as a genuinely nice guy as does the rest of his brothers. Having grown up with tragic circumstances the story shows you how he has become the man he is and how he won’t just settle…even though that’s what he was doing previously.
Midge on the other hand is a character, she certainly drums to her own beat, is outspoken and has crushed on Cillian forever but is afraid to take a risk due to past relationship fails. There are some genuine hot scenes between her and Cillian and some hilarious scenes between both of them and their friends. If only I could be part of this group!
The story keeps you turning the page and although there is some drama it isn’t over the top which is sometimes what can be off-putting in other books. The author writes really well and you are rooting for all of the characters, not only the main ones. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I am genuinely intrigued about the other brothers finding their one!

***3,5 “No falling in love!!!” stars***
“What love story doesn’t have complications? There’s always an obstacle. Sometimes more than one, but it’s getting through them and over them that makes the story a love story…”
This book was so sweet and pleasant…
I really liked all the Kingston brothers very much and i am way too curious for their turns…
Midge was such a lovely woman!!! I loved her witty moments and her sassy attitude…
Cillian was anything that you could imagine… He was so sweet, so sensitive… A sweetheart with a rough tattooed package…
Midge and Cillian know each other since they were kids…
They are friends, but not best friends… But they’re often enjoying each other’s company since his brother and her best friend are an item…
At the present, Cillian just broke up with his girlfriend and Midge is just enjoying her free status where she can do whatever she wants freely…
A weekend in the lake, a good company, a future painting, some hot body shots and a game of Truth or Dare later, these two are spenting the night together…
“Truth or Dare?”
“Dare.”
“I dare you to touch me.”
“Where?”
“Your choice.”
Cillian just got out of a toxic relationship…
Midge has trust issues with men and she thinks that she is Cillian’s rebound…
She is expecting just a fling or is it something more than that for him???
The only sure thing is that both of them used to have feelings for the other in their youth, but they friend-zoned each other…
But now the things are getting complicated, so what will happen after all???
“No falling in love.”
…”Good luck.”
Well, i enjoyed this story a lot…
It was sweet, funny and sexy at times and Cillian with Midge were fitting very good together…
They just needed some time to figure out things!!!
What i didn’t like very much is that there were too many sex scenes for my taste and the couple were too chatty on them and that repulsed me a little…
But except that, i did have such a great time reading this book!!!
“Cillian Kingston has just started something that I’m not sure I’m willing to let come to an end.”
