When You Dare by Lori Foster
4.0
This book was really interesting. It was mysterious, action packed, with some romance thrown in the mix.
Dare Macintosh was on a rescue mission for a friend that he considered family. His friend’s sister had been kidnapped and was being held in Tijuana by some guys who were going to sell her. After Dare got her out of there, along with some others there were being held, he noticed another women off to the side, away from everyone else. She was beaten and obviously drugged. He could in good conscious leave here there, so he put her in the back of his van and headed back for the states.
Molly Alexander wakes up in the back of a van, noticing that it didn’t smell like the hell hole that she had been kept for days or weeks, she wasn’t sure. For that matter she doesn’t know if she is even safe. The first thing she sees is Dare’s dangerous looking face asking if she is okay. And how does she repay him? By kicking him the face.
After finally getting cleaned up, feeling more like herself, Molly realizes that she can’t trust anyone. She doesn’t know who had kidnapped her right outside her building. It could be her joke of a father, her ex-fiance (the jackass), or even some angry fans over her last novel. What she does know is that she really needs help figure it out or she will never feel safe again.
Dare just can’t seem to understand Molly. She is determined, keeps saying she is fine, and doesn’t act like a kidnapped victim at all. He keeps waiting for her to fall apart and succumb to all the memories from her confinement, but she keeps surprising him by pushing forward. By even hiring him to find out who kidnapped her.
The story keeps taking twist and turns at almost every chapter, making you wonder who did organize her kidnapping. Once you start to think ‘Maybe they did it’, the story takes another twist and you get some more suspects in the mix.
There is some romance, but nothing over powering that takes away from all the great mystery and action sequences. But there are some wonderful moments when Miss Foster describes what Dare looks like without his shirt on….and it is kind of wonderful. It makes me want to have a dangerous, scared, dark haired, buff man of my own.
My only negative that I have to say about it is that when it started to get closer to the end of the book, I figured out who the kidnapper was before they revealed it. Mainly because she had a scene that was way too telling. If that were but out, then it would have been a complete surprise at the end.
For those of you who like mystery, action, amazing writing, and some romance mixed in between, this is a great book for you.
I can't wait for the next book to come out.
