THE DARE By Rachel Van Dyken ~ BLOG TOUR, Review & GIVEAWAY









From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken, comes the third and final book in the New York Time's Bestselling Bet Series...



Boring Beth Lynn has always lived up to her nickname... until she wakes up in a hotel bed next to a sexy as sin state senator she re-connected with at a wedding the previous night.


The biggest problem? She can't seem to remember anything about the night before except for crying into a box of cookies, and she's pretty sure Grandma Nadine slipped something in her drink. And what should have been a one night stand turns into a six day adventure when Grandma whisks them off to Hawaii to save them from the ensuing media firestorm.


Jace isn't looking for commitment -- he believes he made that clear when he left the wedding with Beth. Then again, he can't remember much of anything other than the way her skin felt beneath his hands. Now he's stuck with her at some lame couple's retreat and trying his hardest to fight the attraction only a woman like Beth could invoke.


He doesn't think it can get any worse.


But one spider attack... A donkey ride from hell... And an unfortunate episode with Viagra tea -- and there's one thing Jace knows for sure: He should never have agreed to Grandma Nadine's suggestion in the first place.

Because if this isn't paradise, and it isn't a vacation -- that only leaves one option.


Survival.


But to make it through alive... they might lose their hearts in the process.

"THE DARE somehow manages to be equal parts funny, sweet, and brimming with edge-of-your-seat tension, both romantic and situational. And I wouldn't mind a Grandma Nadine of my own. Maybe."
--NYT Bestselling Author Jasinda Wilder


"The Dare is a laugh out loud read that I could not put down. Brilliant.  Just brilliant." 
 --NYT Bestselling Author Cathryn Fox


"This book deserves more stars than I can give. Rachel is a diabolical mastermind with these books. No joke...Also have I mentioned this is the funniest book known to book literature? No? Well it is."

Review by Jenn 

I am huge Rachel Van Dyken fan and this book didn’t disappoint!! The Dare is the third book in The Bet series. In this book Grandma Nadine is trying to pair up Chars sister Beth with Senator Jace. All the main characters from the previous book make appearances throughout the book.

 The characters are outstanding!! Grandma Nadine is in full form in this book, I completely love her. Every time she does something devious I’m shocked at how far she will go to accomplish her matchmaking.

 I absolutely loved her conversation with the Federal Agent that is in the beginning of each chapter. Beth and Jace are my favorite couple in the series. The chemistry is fantastic and their banter is the best. The book was hysterical so be prepared to laugh out loud while reading about Grandma Nadine tactics.


This is my favorite book of the series so far.

 It is definitely a must read!!

 A 5 star read.

Review by Tatia 

   I'm not going to lie, this is the first book I've read in the 'Forever Romance' series by Rachel Van Dyken. I've loved every book I've read by her and The Dare was no different. Between the non-traditional love story and Grandma Nadine's witty humor, I couldn't get enough.

      Grandma Nadine is the matchmaker in the family. Well, I don't really know if matchmaker is the correct word to describe her. She's a jack-of-all trades so to speak.  I wish I had someone in my life as charismatic and hilarious as she is. Life would never be dull.

      In The Dare, Beth and Jace wake up in bed together to discover that they don't remember anything from the night before. With Jace being a senator and thinking Beth is a paid prostitute, this isn't good. The last thing he needs is a scandal to help his ratings drop. With the help of Grandma Nadine, they are jetted off on a week long vacation that turns in to adare. Only problem is, can you spend a week with someone and not start to fall for them, even just a little bit?

      I will most definitely be picking up the first two books in this series, especially if it means more side-splitting laughter from Grandma and her grandsons to go along with her.
    -"She's insane," The agent marked to his superior. "That woman helped us with the Cold War. Insane does not even begin to describe her."

5 STARS!!

EXCERPT:


“I’m not saying I didn’t get a little help.” Grandma shrugged. “What woman doesn’t want to look twenty years younger? These old things still have some perk left.” She pointed to herself and winked.

“I’m sorry, but what does this have to do with our national security?” The FBI agent took off his glasses and groaned.

“Oh, it doesn’t. I was just bored with all the silly questions about kidnapping and death. So depressing! You wouldn’t happen to have any wine, now would you?”
