Dare Me Paperback – June 25, 2017

HOLY HOTNESS!!This was a brand new author to me and reading brand new authors get me super excited! Being super excited about a book scares me because of the possibility of disappointment and with being a new author was a double NERVOUS cause!Piper and Logan were the hot couple and to me they screamed power between the two of them. Not only were they expecting Logan to hopefully get a huge promotion soon, but their wedding was approaching fast. I enjoyed reading about this couple but for my taste I had a bit too much information, some parts that were not really necessary for me to understand the story but I understood the reason for keeping all the information to help flow the story. Now don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book very much but I think most of the excitement started about half way through the book.Now, I honestly went in completely blind, because that title just HOOKED me! I didn't read the synopsis or anything but went with my gut on this awesome title and was pleasantly surprised at that ending. I LOVE reading MFM and was a little disappointed there wasn't more BUT I am super glad that my gut towards the end didn't lead to how I was reading this book. I got so nervous for Logan and a little angry because of the situation they were in but in the end I could not have asked for a better ending! Thank you for giving me the chance to read this book and promote you in any way Vivian! Very hot read!!!

***I received an ARC copy of Dare Me from Vivian Ward. My review is completely voluntary.***Logan and Piper are scheduled to be married in just over a week, but first Piper has her bridal shower to attend. But things get stressful when Logan's boss, Oliver Ford, extends an invitation to a party at his home that could lead to Logan making partnership in Mr. Fords law firm. If Piper doesn't attend, then Logan can't either. They must find a balance so that she can attend both.This was a fun, fast paste read. I enjoyed it though I felt the background information leading up to the story was a little long winded. Overall, I enjoyed the storyline and would recommend this book to friends.

Logan is an associate lawyer and is about to marry his college sweetheart, Piper. Logan is on the fast track but to make partner he must bring Piper to his boss's party. One problem is Piper's bridal shower is on the same day. Piper finds a way to attend both. Let's just say to make partner at Logan's firm you have to allow an crossing of swords type thing. Will Logan let the poker game end the way Ford wants it to and become partner or will be quit? Read now to find out.

This was my second read of a story by this author (whom I stumbled upon by chance) and I loved it. Just like the first book of hers that I read, Our Dirty Secret, this one has a "real-life" feel to it...almost as if it's based, at least in part, on actual occurrences, or at least giving the reader the impression that it could be actually plausible. And I really like that. But what makes this one hot is that the wife, Piper, "shuffles the deck" a tad to get what she wants but it's with enough transparency to make Logan's assent informed and not based on deceit. And the couple comes out with a winning hand. I will be reading more by this author!

Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with this book it was just lacking...I think if this book was more in depth and didn't glace over things...for example she says he probably needs a new desk because he takes her there so much....show us that go in depth...tell us if Oliver continues his thing or not....it feels like everything after the hot tub is just like an epilogue. If this idea had been extended in to a in-depth duet it could totally be a-freaking-mazing

I didn't really have high expectations at first when I started reading. Then I remembered that Vivian Ward is a great author and storyteller. This is a fun and flirty read! I'm sure many will love it!

2.5 🌟. Overall quality of writing was ok. Storyline was thin. Piper and Logan have a very secure and loving relationship. Nothing seems to rock it. That's amazing and anyone would love that for themselves. As a MFM story......it wasn't. More like a fast glimpse of an interlude. Oliver is a distinguish older man, but comes across as sleazy instead of suave. The actual intimacy scene was a really quick 3 way hookup with no foreplay and no after care. Piper and Logan get their happy ever after.

This was a rather unusual type of book for me. If you are not interested in m/f/m ménage I wouldn't try it. I picked it up not knowing what I picked up. Vivian Ward is a good author and helps you to understand the feelings between the couple and his boss. I would only recommendthis if that's your thing.

The title story lacked heat and chemistry between the main characters. When the story started it had potential, but didn't really go anywhere. Logan and Piper's relationship felt almost forced by the writer, I just couldn't feel the chemistry between them. Another disappointment I have is, I thought a book titled (Dare Me - A MFM Ménage Romance) should at least be about that and not be basically a "footnote" in the book, meaning the book title only came in effect about 3 chapters before the book ended and 'said scene' only took up less than one chapter and was about as hot as a bucket of ice. This was my first time reading a Vivian Ward book and after the title story it didn't look good for her, but I must say she completely redeemed herself in other the bonus stories. They were hot, steamy and GREAT story lines, everything the title story was not. I think of the "Dare Me story" as her having an "off-day", so I have purchased 2 more of her books because of the bonus stories and I'm looking forward to reading them.
