Publisher's summary

Marketing exec Gabrielle Flannery isn't what you'd call the outdoorsy type. But after an embarrassing incident with a potted plant leaves Gabrielle revealing more leg than a Thanksgiving turkey, she decides it's time to reassert herself. Even if it means going head-to-head with marketing golden boy and the office Hottie McHot, Dell Kingston, over an outdoor gear account.

That is, until Gabrielle and Dell find themselves competing against each other for the account at a wilderness survival weekend. Since he's in touch with the great outdoors, Dell figures that naturally extends to Gabrielle and those sexy legs of hers. But Gabrielle has a few tricks up her sleeve.

And nothing stimulates a sexual appetite like a little fresh air, a tiny little tent, and a whole lot of libido!

A fun sexy listen

This is a story of an office romance between Dell and Gabby, two marketing account managers that want the same big sporting company account. They find themselves competing in a wilderness survival challenge in order to determine who will get the account. Though Dell clearly has the advantage to win, the author of this book does a great job of using Dell's brawn, Gabby's smarts and dumb luck circumstances to help even out the competition. In fact, this author goes to great length to be unpredictable - even before the competition begins. It really made the story most interesting, and kept me listening well past bedtime. Dell & Gabby made a great couple (with some serious passion and heat being exchanged between these two), and the secondary characters were also interesting and added to mayhem and fun. This is my first book by this author, and I will search out more. Overall, it was a light, funny, sexy and unpredictable book. The naration was really good too! For a HQN Blaze book, I was impressed.

A MUST read and listen!

I read this book the first time around and when I saw it available in audible--had to listen to it! It's fun, full of surprises and makes the underdog vs. champion relationship between Dell and Gabby so believable, sexy and full of charge. I can't wait to find more books by this author.

Terrible nasal narrator

Her nasal voice made the male lead sound like a little boy with a cold. Gave all the charaters a nasal sounding voice. Loved the story.

Pleasant

A servicable romance in most respects but it's a little skimpy on the passionate payoff at the end. But fun.

A fun,. sexy quick romance fix!! Worth the listen!

I really liked this story. Gabbie will have you laughing out loud. This is a short story so things move along pretty quickly but it does not detract from the romance between Gabbie and Del. It's simply a very good story with the right amount of spice. I will be looking for more from this author. I already like the narrator who does a good job with this one too.

An Outdoors Adventure for Two!

Gabby and Dell share an outdoor adventure to try and outdo each other to get an account. Gabby was totally prepared, however Dell was there on his looks, and as part of the good ole boys club. It gets laugh out loud funny, with a series of accidents, mishaps, miss steps.
Who finally wins?

I thoroughly enjoyed this misadventure.

shrill narration

Narrator's whiny, high pitched, sharp voice not at all suited to romance novels. She makes seduction scenes sound like Disney cartoon characters discussing kindergarten sandbox maneuvers.

Nice dare...

This was a nice short listen. The story is quite funny, touching, steamy and entertaining. And I LOVED the ending! I would definitely look for more books by Stephanie Bond in the future.

Narration: Elena Stauffer is an ok narrator but many times she struggled with male voices. You could actually feel the strain in her voice.

The worst part of this book was the narrator

What made the experience of listening to Just Dare Me the most enjoyable?

I usually enjoy Harlequin stories, and the writing was decent.

Would you recommend Just Dare Me to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend the book, but would suggest they read it, rather than listening to it.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Her voice just isn't good for narration, in my opinion. She sounds too little girlish and read in this breathless voice that was obnoxious.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, no extreme reactions.
