A dating dare? It could turn out to be the perfect match or it could be worse than a slap on a sunburn.

Me, little ol’ Paisley Jones, envisioned glitz and glamour with my movie star fiancé until a humiliating, public scandal explodes in my life like damp confetti. I escape to the family cottage with an ocean view and am not looking for love until a dare and a crazy seagull send me next door.

Griffin Sanders was a late-blooming goofball, but now, as a competitive surfer and business owner, not much stops him. However, when an injury keeps him out of the water, he’s stuck on dry land. Turns out his teen crush is hiding out in the neighboring cottage.

That would be yours truly, but I don’t recognize him at first. Big waves. Big surprise.

Quirky and independent, I never quite fit in the celebrity world. I’m not sure where I belong until I get on a surfboard. But it’s hard to tell if the popular surfing instructor is just another guy seeking fame and fortune, the silly kid from my childhood summers, or someone I can ride the waves with.

Will we take the plunge or will our affection for one another drop like the tide?

Dare to Love the Guy Next Door

This is a really fun book with a few serious moments. I enjoyed Paisley and Griffin and their second chance romance. They had both known each other a long time and had suffered through the aftermath of cheating by their ex. If you love to laugh throughput a book you will not be disappointed by this one. Check it out.

LOL 🤣 hilarious!

I was literally laughing out loud. The first few chapters are hilarious if you ignore the cheating now-ex's. Although there are fun parts, this story is a reflection of real-life drama and choices. Very well-written. I love the chemistry between the MC's.This book contains no swearing, non-descripted kisses-only scenes, main characters do not drink alcohol with supporting characters consuming alcohol.Trigger warnings: both main characters get cheated on, previous death of a close family member, past partying and drinking behavior.

A different type story

This story had a very of normal path. Going from childhood to adult hood and back through childhood and young adult feelings to make it back to a shared truth again in the end. Enjoy!

Good

Good storyline and characters. I felt bad for both main characters. Both dumped on by family, both lost family and were chested on. The story is written well. To much tell along with the show, maybe. I didn't connect with th characters for some reason. The h was willing to just hide and let her job and ex control the narrative. I like a stronger heroine. Everything was just ok for me. There were some cute moments and I even laughed once. Crazy seagulls. She is a lawyer with zero backbone. At 60% I started speed reading to get through it. Not because it wasn't good, but because it was just ok. It may have been just me. I have really liked others by this author.
