Truth or Dare by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine Blog Tour

Lieutenant Kieran Bailey never saw his life anywhere but the bustling streets of Chicago—but then again, he never saw his life with a boyfriend, either. That all changed when he fell in love with bombshell CEO Sebastian “Bash” Vogel.

But it’s one thing to fall in love. It’s another to try to build a life together when you live hundreds of miles apart.

How do you choose between everything you’ve ever known and everything you’ve ever dreamed of?

Truth or Dare is the final book in the Dare to Try trilogy and should only be read after Dare You and Dare Me.

This is the third book in the series and be very clear, this is definitely one which should only be read after the previous two! Personally, I would recommend reading all the linked books across the Bailey family, and probably start even earlier – but then, I am a huge fan of these talented authors and love how their stories all have connections!

I was so ready to see how Kieran and Bash would find their permanent home, settle down, and yet still be the dynamic, fascinating people that they are. We certainly get to find that out in this totally enchanting and sexy story. I stayed up and read it in one go, because... well, I had to know! I keep thinking of things I could share with you, but really, you will enjoy it all the more reading it for yourself.

I promise you will not be disappointed – there is such a great mix of passion, playfulness, and lots and lots of love.

Truth or Dare is the final installment in the Dare to Try series. It cannot be read as a standalone and should be read in the order that the author intended.

This was the perfect conclusion to this trilogy. Kieran and Bash put themselves first and go after what they want. I loved watching this story come together. They were funny and sweet, sexy and so very combustible when they were in the same room together.

I love this world Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine have created and the interconnected characters throughout. It makes for such a better reading experience!! If you are a fan of either of these two authors together or independently you HAVE to read this trilogy!

Great ending to a wonderful trilogy. I can't explain how much I love these authors and their books. Gives you the feels every dang time! I don't want to give anything away, so hurry and read this one! You must read the series in order by the way. Such a good love story. Ahhhh, sweet, sexy, got me all mushy feeling!

This is the second book in the series, and pretty much the second it arrived on my Kindle, I dived straight in! You absolutely have to read book one – and if you have not done so already, then you have been saved from the cliffhanger.

I really don't want to reveal anything that happens, because you will just want to read it fresh, and I refuse to spoil anything for you.

We left Kieran reeling over the fact that after being a man with a significant female following and player status, he is now utterly bowled over by Bash, a.k.a. Sebastian Vogel. But how on earth can that be, and how could it work anyway? They live miles apart and have completely different lives.

Bash is unrepentantly himself, but that has resulted in more than one breakup, which has left him nervous of committing to anyone. In fact, wary of any interest from a man, even if Kieran has thrown him into confusion.

Can these two guys, who definitely have chemistry in spades, move past an awful lot of barriers and internal wars… Well, if you have ever read any Blaine-Frank books before, you will know that you can be confident of a good outcome, but that you will have to be patient as the guys sort out their feelings, their dramas, and their reluctance to commit. They will do this in the hottest possible way – so reading it is incredibly enjoyable!

I love the work of these two talented authors when they work together (and when apart!) and this duo are just utterly fascinating, get yourself a copy and see just what I mean.

There is only one problem with diving in so promptly... now I have to wait for the third book longer than you!

Dare Me is the second book in the Dare to Try trilogy. You MUST read book one to get the complete story.

Dare Me starts right on the cliff we were left on at the end of Dare You. Kieran doesn't understand why Bash has left and Bash can't believe he was falling for a straight boy. Kieran is still confused by his feelings but something about Bash is what he wants in his life. Bash makes no excuses for how he lives his life – he is who he is. Watching these two men find their way is so endearing. I love it being set in South Haven and seeing Bash's group of friends. They are so fun to read.

The worlds that these two authors create are by far my favorite. The depth and emotion they spread on the page is seamless, especially as a writing duo. I can't wait to see the ending to this epic love story.

This is the second book in a trilogy and you must read the first book first. I was in the middle of reading a really dark series when this hit my Kindle and let me tell ya, I never started reading a book so fast! I instantly got drawn back into this blossoming love between Bash and Kieran. I don't want to give anything away because let’s face it, we all love experiencing the book as we read it, not getting spoilers in a review. This book was just as amazing as the first, these two authors are amazing storytellers, and I cannot wait to see the ending to this trilogy!

Dare You by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine Blog Tour

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?

Authors’ Note: 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.

Holy crap, this book was good. I usually don't like slow-burn romances, but these two authors know how to write a good story! Kieran and Bash are polar opposites but are ohhhh soooo good together. I love and hate that this is a trilogy. It ended too soon butttttttt, I know the next installment will be out soon. LOL. I loved watching Kieran and Bash's relationship grow and I absolutely cannot wait for the next the book.

Dare You is the first installment in a new co-authored series, Dare to Try, by Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank. But also a spin-off from the Prime Time series and the Confessions series; it can be read completely independent, but honestly you shouldn't. Knowing all the characters and their past stories make this one so much better!!!

In typical Blaine-Frank fashion, they leave you wanting so much more. I absolutely loved the pace and burn of this one. Seeing the relationship grow from day one is everything that adds to the slow build up between them, making it perfection. Kieran and Bash are complete opposites. Kieran is a straight, playboy firefighter and Bash is a gay crossdresser. So completely different but work so well together. The flirting and banter have you smiling and swooning throughout.

I cannot wait for the next installment! I am hooked on this new series.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the first book in a trilogy, so do expect a bit of an ambiguous ending of this first installment. This also links in to earlier books, such as the Prime Time series, and later Confessions books – where the other Bailey brothers find their happily ever afters.

Here, firefighter Kieran, who has a strong reputation as a playboy with women pretty much falling at his feet, finds himself attracted to businessman Bash. And he is not just any businessman, but an incredibly successful one that he saved from a fire when Sebastian was dressed in an evening gown and wearing red soled high heels. Both his brothers have boyfriends, one unexpectedly so, so he is well aware of the possibilities, but still surprised at the strength of his interest in this man.

I love the wit and desire that passes between them, and the thoughts and issues which both need to deal with as they find themselves in a new place emotionally. The Bailey brothers are a help, and yet also challenging.

I love the writing of these talented authors, and always enjoy catching up with old friends as well as discovering new relationships. This story ends on a knife edge, but the next two are due for release quite quickly, so I am holding my breath for a great next installment.
