Double Dare [Kindle Edition]

Rhonda Nelson (Author)

Book Description

"Quirky, irreverent and laugh-out-loud hilarious, Rhonda Nelson speaks my language!" --New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson


Vintage Rhonda Nelson! Though Rhonda is known more recently for her sexy, romantic comedies she began her career writing funny, heart-warming romance for Kensington's Precious Gems line. The books were only sold in Wal-Mart and spent less than a month on the shelves. Now, thanks to the wonderful world of digital publishing, they're available again.

Runaway bride Louisa Honeycut is looking for a quick escape when she passes the Double Dare, Inc sign and the slogan "Are you ready for the time of your life?" seems like divine intervention. Sheltered by her overbearing father, Louisa has years of catching up to do and can think of no better person than gorgeous Sam Rawlins to show her. Is she ready for the time of her life? Hell, yes.

Ordinarily unflappable adventure guide Sam Rawlins makes his living showing the wealthy how to have fun, but nothing in his experience could have prepared him for the "adventure" Louisa Honeycut asks for. He might be showing Louisa the time of her life, but the quirky little snack-cake heiress is soon turning Sam's own life upside down...and perversely, he likes the new vantage point.

4.0 out of 5 stars It'll push all the right buttons... December 7, 2011

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

By C. Avery

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Proofread! December 14, 2011

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.
