Publisher's summary

When Shelly Brockman walked into his office, Sheriff Dare Westmoreland could almost taste the sweet, steamy passion they'd once shared. Then Shelly informed him he was the father of her son, the unruly preteen he'd arrested that day, and his fantasies turned to fury!

Shelly had returned to her hometown in Georgia to save her son from the mean streets of Los Angeles. Getting to know his father would be good for her son. But would being so close to Dare - the only man to make her pulse race - reopen a wounded heart that had never healed? Or, would this be her final chance to win Dare's love?

Mouth Breather

The dialogue was corney. Quite a bit contrived. However, the person reading the book is a mouth breather. She suckwd air after almost every sentence of dialogue. Drove me crazy. made it through about 2 chapters then gave up. VERY GLADE IT WAS A FREE BOOK.

Just Egh

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

It wasn't for me. I enjoy a story with a bit more character development. This story was someone looking for a little light reading. I found my mind drifting.

Would you ever listen to anything by Brenda Jackson again?

I don't know. This just isn't my type of story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Madison Vaughn’s performances?

I would give her another try. She didn't have a whole lot to work with. And even though a worman was reading somehow the character of Dare was the strongest.

What character would you cut from A Little Dare?

I don't know if I would cut a particular character. It just needed a stronger story and the characters it did have more fleshed out.

Any additional comments?

This book was on my wish list for almost a year. And I just never managed to get it using one of my Credits. Well, when I saw it on the $4.95 Special, I thought I was in luck...I'm just glad I spent only $4.95 for it. I don't feel so bad.

Should have paid attention

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. This was $4.95 special purchase, but I should have paid attention to the narrator. Brenda Jackson is ok, but the narrator, Madison Vaughn, is so awful, it's painful to listen to her. I speeded up the pace, which helped, but the delivery is too stagey, with too many breathey, emotional pauses. Very irritating.

Would you be willing to try another book from Brenda Jackson? Why or why not?

Yes, if the narrator was different.

How could the performance have been better?

A totally different narrator.

Was A Little Dare worth the listening time?

No.

So good

Second chance romance and a secret child! I really enjoyed Shelly and Dare's story. He had to win over his son and then win back his son's mother.
I absolutely adore the Westmoreland family and can't wait to read more.

Love B. Jackson books “But”

I have read a lot of Brenda Jackson books and they were great to read. I thought I would get some of them on audio. Big mistake, they did not translate well. Ms Jackson you need to pick the right narrators, I understand that you are trying to attract all races, but they aren’t doing justice to your books.

Disappointing

Predictable storyline with unrealistic characters and poor narration, especially the accents. I struggled to finish but stayed with it hoping it would get better. It didn’t.

Another lovely story, but narrator not the best

Again you can't go wrong with Westmorelands. Simple love story with heat. I read the series first so was already familiar with the story line, but wanted to hear narration. Unfortunately this is where audio goes wrong. The voice doesn't match for African American, even southerners. I missed the sexiness and swagger, just didn't come thru with this one. Still worth listening.
