Got this around 7:30 am and dropped the book I was in the midst of reading to IMMEDIATELY tear right through this one as fast and happily as I did the first book in this series, "Dare You". I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. Holy cow! I mean, I love Ella & Brooke: they make magical mm together, but this was something else. Book one gives you a TON of time to fall utterly in love with Bash, but "Dare Me" gives you almost the whole book to give you time to fall in love with KIERNAN, away from Chicago, the firehouse, and his family, which is something I think we readers needed to do. We needed to see him as a fish out of water, in Bash's world, to see who he was as JUST Kiernan the human who somehow had his whole world turned upside down by Bash in the first book, so we could see how much conviction and passion he had behind his feelings if he was removed from his comfort zone and placed smack dab in the line of fire of all of Bash's protective friends. It was HOT, well-written, HOT, sweet, funny, HOT, irreverent, and now I'm pouting and stomping my feet like a toddler because I have to wait until the end of September for "Truth or Dare". DAMMIT.
