Publisher's summary

Five coworkers. Four drinks. Three glances. Two fleeting smiles. One dare. A dare that will change my life. That's all it takes to send me plummeting into the arms of the mysterious Holt Hamilton.

I liked it well enough

Dare Me was good. I really liked the beginning of the story and how Saige and Holt actually ended up together. They were so cute and I really liked how their relationship was progressing. The bomb that's dropped totally threw me, but I didn't care for the way Saige acted about it. Savannah Peachwood always has a really nice and soft tone that portrays so much emotion in a heroine. I always lover. Kas Vadim was fine, but I honestly already forgot what his voice sounded like.

The female narrator was....awful

The story is a little over the top but it's a romance so I can suspend disbelief and appreciate the angst and improbably plot.

The male narrator was easy to listen to.

Savannah Peachwood was dreadful. She dragged out her pronunciation and every sentence was saturated with emotion. There was no differentiation between Saige in throes of passion, in a rage over betrayal or brushing her teeth. I took to listening to her chapters at 1.5x or 2x rate. Remarkably that actually made her narration more tolerable.

We need more Kas!!

We need more Kas!! He was absolutely amazing and hot AF as our Holt, he did a great job as our female heroine as well which is not easy. Kas was a new narrator to me and I'm seriously looking forward to more from him. Savannah was excellent as the heroine Saige and I always appreciate her work. This story was emotional and sexy, these two were simply incredible at delivering and setting all the moods and making me feel all of the feels! Definitely recommend!

good to ok story

The story was good from the beginning then ending with it's ok.
The male narrator could of did this story by himself because at time the female narrator just start irritating me.

Gripping, heart breaking, but BEAUTIFUL

I love romance that is a mystery and you have to listen to the pieces of the puzzle as the go along. What is truly amazing is that Rebecca Shea is an amazing author that can bring so much sadness and happiness in one book. It's beautiful and I can't wait for more.

BUT- the audio was completely spot on. As they read each word, each sentence, each chapter I could feel the emotions. Holt has a dark secret and Saige is the one person that could bring this all out. As the story unfolds the audio readers hit all their emotions, the love and lust. Best of all is I Dare YOU to read this. Just read/listen to this amazing book

Gripping love story!!!

A gripping love story that captivated me from the very beginning and never let go. A devastatingly beautiful romance that is powerfully inspiring, emotionally raw, and breathtakingly romantic. An unforgettable masterpiece with so much heart and soul that that I fell deeper in love with the characters and their epic love story with each turn of the page. Two broken souls who find the missing piece that makes them feel whole again. A beautiful, strong, and resilient heroine and a complex, fiercely protective and determined hero. Their chemistry is magnetic and undeniable. Their exchanges are witty and they spar so well with one another. The storyline is incredibly well-written and flowed seamlessly with twists and turns that are a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Their journey together was so beautifully written and I felt every emotion– they radiated from the pages. I laughed, cried so many tears (happy and sad), felt the butterflies, the heart palpitations, the pure joy and every ounce of pain. The heartfelt moments stole my breath and the heartbreaking ones shattered my heart. Their relationship is tested and how they fight for one another was breathtaking. The wisdom interlaced throughout was inspiring. A powerful story of love, faith and forgiveness that left a mark on my heart and soul. I highly recommend reading this incredible love story!

Very hard to get through this book

Hard to listen. Savannah Peachwood reads as though the audience is in Kindergarten. Awful

4 stars

Would you consider the audio edition of Dare Me to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version but I would consider the audio better. Savannah Peachwood and Kas Vidam did a great job at voicing the characters and bringing the story to life.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she takes the dare of course!

Any additional comments?

There were times I wanted to knock some sense into the heroine but I also understood the hurt she'd been through. The hero was just perfect, Iove that he didn't give up so easily.

Narrator Killed it

The narration was extremely bad! The male was okay but the female was a drain. I was switching back and fourth with speed on her because she was reading so slow. I'm not sure who told her this was a good idea or how it got pass production.

Really enjoyed this book!

Great story line with easy to enjoy narrators! i really enjoyed listeninh to this book!
