That's a Dare you'll willingly take.
Time and time again, I'm surprised by this author work. Reading her books is so refreshing and revitalizes me every time.
For some reason, I feel that rockstar stories are overrated and overused (and I know I might be in a less number here), but when I saw Suzie Scott was writing us a rockstar, I took this Dare (cheap pun intended).
And I'm so glad I did, because, remember when I said above how rockstar romance is overrated and overused. Well, I totally forgot about that, because even without realizing it, I was hooked to Dare and Pepper.
It wasn't a typical rockstar romance where the hero is making a huge success, he has and obscene amount of money, he is rejecting shows and being cocky and arrogant.
No. Dare and his friends/brothers were fighting for their space and paying their dues. They were extremely talented, but they were in that stage yet when they have to set a goal, work hard and believe in it. Life wasn't granted already.
They made music for passion and played for their dreams. And that was so refreshing.
They were rambuctious and loud, they were loyal and messy, they were passionate and real.
Just like Weatherly/Pepper was.
Dare struggled his whole life, but was always trying to overcame his issues. He was resilient and a survivor. He was rugged, but caring, he was cocky, but vulnerable.
Weatherly had an easier life, at least financially. She had everythign she wanted and needed, but she never let that mold her. She was genuine, honest, pure, even surrounded by shallow and egoistic people.
They couldn't be more different from the outside. But they couldn't be more alique in everything that mattered.
Dare and Weatherly were each other's breath of fresh air. And together, they were my own breath of fresh air.
They were so deep with such rich personalities. They touched each other's lives, and they touched me as well while I read them.
Their connection was profound, their banter was quick and smart. Their chemistry was palpable and their feelings were so tangible and so real.
The writing was exquisite, mixing enthralling dialogues, quiet developments and cathartic moments, always captivating and never letting the rhythm slow down, even in the calm scenes.
Reading Dare was like eating a favorite desert. I couldn't get enough, I wanted more even before it ended, and even when I was full (aka, almost asleep), I knew I couldn't stop, because if I did, I was going to regret later.
I gotta say, I'm stuffed. But I still crave another piece.
