Double Dare sucks you into the adventure of Lou from page one. If a sexy, fun, fast-paced love story is what you're craving, then this is the one for you. The story is a quick read, but in a good way. The author doesn't skimp on the action or the romance. The chemistry between Lou and Sam wasn't forced. It came naturally and that's always a plus in a romance.

My only complaints were the amount of typos. The misspelling and incorrect word usage kept tossing me out of a well-written story. 'Same' instead of 'Sam'. 'He' instead of 'her'. Those and the fact that Sam used "Aw, hell..." a little bit too much. The expression kind of lost its oomph along the way. This is why I gave Double Dare four stars instead of five.

I'd highly recommend this story if you're a fan of the steamy romance genre. It'll push all the right buttons for you. Honest.

2.0 out of 5 stars A good editor is worth their weight in gold, December 8, 2011

This review is from: Double Dare (Kindle Edition)

The author cant seem to make up her mind on what her characters names are. Chad or Chat? Lou or Lo? Sam or Same? Then there are the other mistakes that got missed, like what are other pales no man has touched? I think it should read places. The concept of the book was interesting but bad editing ruins it. Sloppy and unready books almost make me want to return to paper- at least then expecting quality isnt unreasonable.

It may be a good story. However, it is hard to know through the thousands of grammatical errors! If a story is worth telling, it should be worth telling correctly.
