Dare you, the first book in the all new must-read Dare to Try Trilogy from USA Today bestselling authors Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine is available now!

From Ella Frank’s Prime Time series and Brooke Blaine’s South Haven series comes an explosive spin-off of both worlds.

Sebastian “Bash” Vogel, the magnetic, cross-dressing CEO of AnaVoge, has long been a lone island when it comes to his personal life. Self-assured and playful, he’s never left wanting for suitors—but Bash isn’t looking for something permanent. He’s more than fulfilled with his company and his closest friends, and no one is going to shake up the status quo. That is, until he’s thrown over the shoulder of one of Chicago’s finest and hauled out of a burning building. Kieran Bailey, a sexy, hardworking lieutenant at Station 73, has been reaping the rewards of being crowned the city’s hottest fireman, which his crew never lets him forget. So many ladies, so little time. So when he rescues the latest damsel in distress, no one is more shocked than him to realize he’s played prince charming to another…prince.

But Bash isn’t like anyone Kieran has ever met, and soon his world is turned upside down as he becomes more intrigued by the enigmatic man that he can’t stay away from.

They’re from two different worlds. This could never work. But what if…they dared to try?

Dare You is book one of the Dare to Try trilogy, which must be read in order. Prior reading is not required, but is always a fantastic idea for maximum enjoyment.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Dare You is the first book in an epic crossover series, Dare to Try by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine. They are one of favorite writing duos! If you read Ella’s Prime Time series then you have met Kieran Bailey and if you if you read Brooke’s South Haven series then you have had the pleasure of meeting Bash Vogel. You do not need to read them to enjoy this series but I recommend it read them at some point and you will definitely want to after reading this book.
It all started with a fire on the twenty-fifth floor.
Bash was in town for business but that night he was all about welcoming him to Chicago. He was looking fabulous in his red sequined dress and Manolos when he was thrown over the shoulder of one of Chicago’s finest. He didn’t see the face of the man but there was something about him that made him melt. He had to thank the man of his fantasies, right? Just that changed everything…
Kieran saved lives on a regular basis but saving Bash’s was different. He thought he was carrying out a stunning woman who turned out to be a man. He had no issue with it except the way he felt. And when he met the man, that feeling got worse with every single time he saw him afterwards. Every time he was near him, he questioned himself. Bash was something else. He was refreshing, witty, a shameless flirt, and he just enjoyed his time with him. A lot.
I absolutely loved these men. They live worlds apart but come together in a both easy and complicated way. Strangers to friends. Friends to maybe more. It’s about friendship, family, and exploring. I can’t wait for the next book! These two made me laugh, get hot and bothered, and shop. Bash’s style is fabulous, darling.
Quotes:
He was a puzzle that was getting more complex each time I ran into him.
“You’re a pretty big deal around here, huh?”
“I’m a big deal anywhere, darling.”
“See you around, Bash. Try to behave.”
“Never.”

Blog Tour & Review – Love Next Door, Helena Hunting

Love Next Door, an all new addictive small-town romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is now live!

When Dillion Stitch left her hometown, she had no intention of going back. But when her brother gets into trouble, Dillion reluctantly agrees to return home to take her place at the family business.

Being back in Pearl Lake after all these years feels familiar, but also brings a few surprises. She’s quick to notice that someone new has shown up at the cottage next door. Dillion gets more than an eyeful when she goes to check out the newcomer and meets Donovan “Van” Firestone—her beloved neighbor’s grandson—in all his unclothed glory.

Having gotten off to a rocky start, it’s not long before they begin bickering with each other all over town. All that back and forth inevitably sparks an undeniable attraction. But Dillion’s family has issues, Van’s family resents him, and neither Dillion nor Van feels truly at ease in the small town. For these Pearl Lake exiles, home isn’t just where the heart is—it’s where things get complicated.

Kara's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Love Next Door is the first book in the Lakeside series by Helena Hunting. I’m a huge fan of Helena’s and I always look forward to reading her books. I know I’m going to laugh out loud, shed a tear or two, have to fan myself and fall in love with her characters. Dillion left town at eighteen. She didn’t want to live in her small hometown anymore and she swore she’d never go back. When her brother gets injured she has to go home to help her family. She starts to like it more than she thought she would especially when she meets her sexy new neighbor. He’s not a stranger, but she hasn’t seen him in a long time. They don’t get off to a great start, but their bickering is just foreplay. Van just inherited his grandma’s cottage, a place he visited during the summer when he was young. He always loved this town and what started a short vacation turns into much more. After seeing Dillion again, Van can’t help but annoy her on purpose. She’s too easy to rile up! After just one kiss they can’t seem to stay away from each other. They both have things going on with their families and baggage but they just click. Will Pearl Lake be somewhere they can see themselves long term or will the call of the city be too much? Is Van’s grandma scheming from the afterlife? I just loved Van and Dillion. He’s smart, sexy and hilarious. She’s sassy, smart and tells it like it is. I loved all the little mentions of the Kingstons, Bowmans and other references to our favorite hockey heroes! I can’t wait to see who’s next in the series!
