Double Dare (First Love from Silhouette) [Paperback]

Laurien Berenson (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Four friends are competing on the horse show circuit, hoping for a spot on the Olympic team. There are several conflicts: Bitsy has a crush on Tommy, but she realizes he's not for her; Alex won't let her true feelings for Josh come to the surface. Nothing special, although the book is funny in places, and the atmosphere is authentically horsey. The main problem is Josh, who is disgustingly good-hearted, kind, charming. . . . It's too bad that these heroes are usually perfect, for their perfection ruins the story lines.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Teen Horse Novel, September 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Double Dare (First Love from Silhouette) (Paperback)

I had not realized when I ordered this book that it was a teen novel. It is a nice, clean book, perfect for young teens who love horses. They will enjoy it very much.
Excerpt from the back of the book: "Blue Ribbon Blues -- All through the years of competing in horse shows, Alex had always assumed that Josh was a selfish egoist who cared more about showing off his riding skills than he did about people. She was astonished to learn that when her horse was injured, he had been the one to suggest a scheme to keep her in the running. At first, collecting those important ribbons was all that mattered to her. Then she found out that nobody hands out awards for the things that really count. Did Josh feel the same way?"
