Length: 1 hr and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

What happens at book club doesn't necessarily stay at book club.

Welcome to Fortuna, Texas where the men are dared to love as big as they live. The men of widower Brad Davidson's book club, the Fortuna Dare Society, are dared to act out a trope, setting, and character with a significant other. That poses a problem for Brad, who hasn't had serious relationship in over 20 years.

He likes the town librarian, but it might not amount to anything more than a strange, costume-staged, musically-enhanced meal. Then again, he married the last woman he went out of his way to date.

A Dare!

This is a short and quick read, or listen, that is so much fun and entertaining. I want to be part of the "Fortuna Dare Society" book club. Very interesting and intriguing to act out scenes in books. The guys are now hooked in romance and the women are loving every minute of it. These men get creative. This is one is about Brad, Ophelia, the librarian, and a little Beauty and the Beast. This one had me laughing out loud with the craziness but it is also sweet and touching. Brad gets a second chance at love. The narrator did a good job with all the different characters.

It was a great listen!

Love this short listen. The narrator did a fantastic job portraying the characters. Love his sound effects! This is the second audiobook from author I listen to and I wasn’t disappointed!

great story

I really enjoyed this hilarious first book of the men's book club. I can't wait to see the other Shenanigans they get into. It was a really sweet story for Brad.
Narrator was really good. He was able to bring each character to life.

Great book

You could really get into this story. The narrator seemed enthusiastically happy. Loved this book.

book 1 - The Fortuna Dare Society

This is book 1 in Bradly's new series The Fortuna Dare Society. A short, sweet romance read. I loved the concept of this storyline and I thought this was a great intro to the concept and characters but somehow it just fell flat for me. I loved the characters and the narration was pretty good but I thought it would have been so much better with a dual narration and idk, it didn't feel rushed but the flow seemed off to me. I would have liked a bit more depth into the characters as well. Overall it was a good, quick read / listen but I think there is so much more potential there for a guys book club that reads and acts out romance. Such a great idea!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Ok Quick Listen.

The narrator did a good telling the story. I give the story a 3.5. A cute quick story of a bunch of guys all different ages get together for book club and they one up it by trying to reenact genre's and tropes.

A short fun listen

I absolutely love the concept of a book club for men where they actually have to act things out. This definitely leads to some very sweet and comical moments. I do look forward to seeing when this series goes.

I thought that both the author, Rochelle Bradley, and the narrator, Dan Levy, did a nice job. The story was interesting and the performance kept me entertained.

too short

This book is the started of a series. Sort of a prequel.
As such, it was short. Maybe too short.
This made the story seemed rushed. The story was sweet, but it was hard to relate to the characters as I felt I did not know them long enough.
The narrator did a good job.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sweet fun story

What a fabulous premise for this series. Enjoyed this first read by Rochelle Bradley. The narrator was fun with his twang
