"Welcome to South Haven, lieutenant."

You read that right my friends. Book one, [b:Dare You|58502262|Dare You (Dare to Try, #1)|Ella Frank|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1626957105l/58502262._SY75_.jpg|91881091], had Bash in Kieran's world of Chicago. It's where they met. Where they danced around their attraction, well Kieran did at least. It's ultimately where they started to fall for one another. But we all read how book one ended, with Bash heading home to the little island town he loves. The saddest part? He headed home alone, without so much as a goodbye for the hottie firefighter who set Bash's entire world aflame in just a few short weeks. So what is said hottie firefighter to do when the whirlwind that is Sebastian Vogel just up and leaves? Why chase after him of course.

"Had I been reading this entire thing wrong all this time? Maybe Bash hadn't ditched me. Maybe he'd run."

I loved seeing Kieran in Bash's world. It was definitely an entire different speed to Chicago living. What I loved even more was seeing Lucas, Jackson, Shaw, and Trent again as well. I missed those boys, especially Lucas and his acerbic wit. I was also looking forward to them giving Bash shit over everything and I wasn't disappointed. The peaches and bananas scene? One of my laugh out loud favorites. Bash made a lot of assumptions when he ran, excuse me flew, home to South Haven. It was definitely fun seeing Kieran set him straight, or not so straight as it was.

"And yet all I really wanted to enjoy was a beautiful man in heels and a Valentino dress."

I have to admit nothing surprised me more than Kieran's determination to see this thing through with Bash. He never hid his wants, never backed away from the truth, and seemed A-Okay with going full speed ahead. Then again, how could anyone not fall in love with Sebastian Vogel? The man is magnetic and life with him would never be boring that's for sure. Speaking of life, I am chomping at the bit now for book 3, as I'm guessing it will focus on just that: Life, and how to merge their lives into one that will work for them both.

second on the series for Bash & Keiran's storyline. Enjoyed just as much as the first book, great plot and pacing, and just the right amount of angst.

I love these guys!

Bash and Kieran are back in Dare Me and it is everything I wanted. I just need more, now!!!

Picking up right where Dare You leaves off, things are tumultuous, miles and miles separating these two men. But even with the heartbreak and uncertainty, the one thing neither can do is keep the other out of their head…

With some time off, Kieran bites the bullet and heads to Bash’s home base to clear the air. And things really start to heat up in the south.

We have protective friends, concerned family members and so many saucy moments in this second book and now all I need is the third and final book to ease the questions and the will-they-won’t-they. I just absolutely love this writing duo!!!

NEED. LAST. BOOK. NOW.

I’ve got to stop reading series’ that aren’t finished yet. I know the third book comes out in a couple weeks but THAT IS JUST TOO LONG. But if that shows you how much I liked this book…
