 The blurb is very deceiving. Sure, he literally says that line. But nothing else is true. He wasn’t going to be her boss, he already was, at least on this assignment. They weren’t pretending in order to land the deal, she was pretending in order to spy on the other company. And what secrets was she keeping? None. Which was refreshing, since she is very good at communicating, but not what it says on the blurb. It was very boring until chapter nine or ten, which is over half of it. And even then it was just OK. The spice was very forgettable. I almost DNF.

Tyson is that fun-loving youngest sibling who everyone underestimates and we didn't really get to know much about during the Rivers Wilde series. Getting a deeper glimpse into his life in the Daredevil was everything I hoped it would be! Dylan Allen packed a heck of a punch with this novella and had me grasping for the next word until the very last page! I would absolutely love to see the entire Rivers Wilde series become a Netflix series one day!

Overall Grade: 4.5 ⭐️

Dylan Allen has done it again with her newest Rivers Wilde offering, The Daredevil. This tasty treat of a story is everything you ADORE about her: compelling characterizations, sensuality that sets the page on fire, and a happy ending that is perfect for her hero and heroine.

This is Tyson’s story, that younger brother who has this capacity for helping his siblings find their own happy endings. We find him, at the beginning of the story, on his knees pleasuring Dina, Allen’s heroine and an ancillary character from her The Sound of Temptation story. This is Allen’s way. She grabs you with the pure chemistry of her character and pulls you dramatically into her story. When their moment is interrupted and Tyson, out to prove himself to his imperious mother, the matriarch of the Wilde family, Dina and Tyson go their separate ways, prepared to battle for their individual successes.

The story fast forwards and Tyson and Dina are thrown together for an important project. Dylan’s capacity to write their attraction is off the charts in this story (as it is in her other stories). She never holds back on interrogating anything in the bedroom, and this story is a 5-star steamfest. I know my fellow romance readers LOVE this (I’m with them), but my favorite part of this book is actually the development of Tyson and Dina’s partnership. A third of this book is a journey into denial: denying their attraction and their ability to move forward as a couple. When Tyson and Dina work together to overcome a threat to their business, I was DONE because Allen takes their individual vulnerabilities and creates a reckoning force through their combined strengths. Dylan Allen’s development of their partnership is divine.

And in the end, I love her insistence on the best happy ending for Tyson and Dina, a couple completely happy with developing careers and their relationship without the traditions of the average romantic couple.

The Daredevil is a perfect tribute to Dylan Allen’s Rivers Wilde series. Besides her The Sun and Her Star, this series is my FAVORITE of hers. Having fallen in love with Hayes, Temperance, Remi, Kai, Regan, Stone, and even, the matriarch of the Wilde family, I loved this story for Tyson. It’s perfection in its capacity to show the importance of having a passion for your work, not just an expectation. Both Tyson and Dina struggle to live up to the expectation, so, instead, Dylan Allen writes all the passion for them.

Ahhh finally iv'e time to search for words for this Amamzing Story. Coming back to rivers wilde was like meeting old friends trough the eyes of new People. I really and hardly enjoyed meeting this character again.
Also i really loved how well choosen the words to describe the feelings in this story had been. This Author created an atmosphere where i was able to dive in to the minds of her tow main Characters and get them.
Heroine and both found their Peace to telling us the story between them and it was the write peace. Also the choices they made where explained very well so i got where they acted like this.
All in all the short story was an amazing plus to the series and i cant wait to read mire from rivers wild. All the stars.

Gah! Could Tyson be any swoonier??? The story of Dina and Tyson was great. These 2 were meant for each other. And with each of them having trust issues stemming from previous relationships, you knew that they were both going to have to work at it! And bot did they! Watching Tyson come to some realizations was fairly rewarding. This story really gives you the smallest glimpse into the Rivers Wilde world.... and it is a place I love to visit! If one would want to dip their toe in, this would be a fantastic way to do that...... but I highly recommend the whole freaking series! These couples are EVERYTHING in their own ways!

Take the risk and find your way home

I preordered this book and it's been sitting on my TBR since. I just have a growing list.

I've been waiting to read about Tyson Wilde for what feels like ages. Tyson has always tried to get out from under his big brothers shoes, even being his mothers favorite. Dina was an interesting woman, so admirable in her passion for her job and not willing to sacrifice that part of herself. There has always been this underlying connection between the two, but both thought they couldn't have their careers and love at the same time. I enjoyed the quickness of this book, but I didn't connect with Tyson as much as I thought I would.

I need more of Remi and Regan! Fingers crossed!
