Release Blitz: The Dating Dare by Jacyi Lee

 
Jayci Lee, author of A Sweet Mess, returns with The Dating Dare—her next witty, chemistry-filled romantic comedy.

Tara Park doesn’t do serious relationships. Neither does she hop into bed with virtual strangers. Especially when that particular stranger is her best friend’s new brother-in-law. It isn’t an easy decision, though. Seth Kim is temptation personified. His unreasonably handsome looks and charming personality makes him easy on the eyes and good for her ego.

When a friendly game of Truth or Dare leads to an uncomplicated four-date arrangement with Seth, Tara can’t say she minds. But their dates, while sweet and sexy, have a tendency to hit roadblocks. Thankfully, their non-dates and chance meetings get frequent and heated.

Seth is leaving for a new job in Paris in a month and a no-strings attached fling seemed like a nice little distraction for both… But soon Seth realizes that Tara Park doesn’t come in a “nice & little” package--she’s funny and bold, sweet and sexy, and everything he ever wanted and never expected to find. Neither of them are ready for something serious and both have past relationship baggage they’ve been ignoring, but with a shot at forever on the line will they follow their hearts and take a chance on happily-ever-after?

Tara has sworn off relationships. So imagine how shocked she is to be immediately attracted to Seth (her best friend’s new brother-in-law). Seth is also attracted to Tara but he is leaving for Paris in a months’ time. During a simple game of truth and dare, Seth dares Tara to go on 4 dates with him and not fall in love with him. What’s the harm, she’s sworn off everything anyways. Every time they have a scheduled/planned date, something interferes. It’s all the non-dates that they have where they start to fall for each other. So what happens when the month is up? You’ll have to one-click to find out.

This book did take me a little bit to connect and relate with the characters. About the halfway point is where it started to pick up for me. While this kinda’ felt insta-love-ish, it was also sweetly romantic. Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffen for the opportunity to read and review it.
