Dean's Dare, the third in the Boys and Toys Series by Daryl Banner, continues the journey with four friends Caysen, Wade, Dean and Garret. Told from each friends point of view, this book dives further into the relationship between these friends and revolves around a dare for the friends suggested by Dean.
It is hard to review Daryl's books and tell you what it is I love about them without giving spoilers but this book is fun, witty, emotional and funny. It had me laughing out loud a few times, and feeling the emotion of the friends as they navigate their way through life. I was particularly happy with the progress between Caysen and Wade, and look forward to following the relationship in the next book in this series.
I get excited with every new release from Daryl Banner, and each book I read just reinforces him as one of my favourite authors. This book was no different. It is a nice quick read, and I couldn't put it down. I cant wait for Garrets's Game. Four books in this series are not going to be enough.

I'm definitely enjoying this mini series and loving these 4 friends.

I'm glad that Dean took that step to start fixing whatever wasn't clicking with him and Sam.

I am overjoyed for Caysen and Wade.

Garret had me worried in this book. And honestly, I'm not shipping him with his boss. I'd really like to see him end up with Diesel the biker dude.

This 4-story series should absolutely be read in order.  Although a little longer than a traditional novella, I would consider all 4 books to be novellas which put together create a full book featuring an amazing group of friends, their adventures, and the entanglements of life. I read all 4 paperbacks in 3 days.  These stories are also in KU.

There are characters that I like more than others, some I could do without entirely, and some I want to know more about - should have a longer book actually.

I like this author's writing style and own his whole backlist prior to July 2019 (I have to work on getting the most recent stories onto his shelf).

I recommend this story, this series, and 100% this author.
