Double Dare by R.L. Mathewson
2.0

The story of yet another Bradford getting his happily ever after.

Darrin and Marybeth have been inseparable since they were kids, with Darrin claiming that he'd marry her someday the first day they met. She has proven less than cooperative, however, and is insisting on keeping their relationship, that has turned romantic, secret.

She claims that she doesn't want to get married, but he refuses to believe that and does all he can to get her to change her mind, and finally confess what she's been keeping secret from him.
SpoilerShe is unable to have children and give Darrin the family he's always wanted, and intends to let him go soon so that he can find someone else, but isn't quite ready to do that yet.

Darrin is heartbroken when he finally learns the truth, but he loves her too much to let her go, something she has trouble believing, making him work hard to convince her.


While there are a couple of serious issues between the couple, most of the story follows the previous books' lighthearted tone, with an extra helping of immaturity between the main couple, who are used to daring each other to silly dares that they seem unable to refuse.

A few parts of the story felt a bit disjointed as well,
Spoilerespecially the part where they got married
, leaving me slightly confused at times. Not my favorite of the series so far. Next comes Duncan's story in [b:Christmas from Hell|27742535|Christmas from Hell (Neighbor from Hell, #7)|R.L. Mathewson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1448136712s/27742535.jpg|47724236].
