The darkness doesn’t just haunt me—it seduces me. It breaks me in all the right places and awakens the unhinged desire I swore I’d buried. Ace doesn’t just see the chaos in me... he matches it. Craves it.
And when he whispers the unthinkable, my pulse stops.
Can I be saved... or was I made to burn with him and all of our sins?
Britt Lynn is a self publishing author who enjoys writing about Morally Grey, Obsessive men. Her true love is a good Hockey Romance adding in dark elements and pulling from personal experiences as a younger sister of a goalie. But she also loves to write a good Thrilling Dark Mafia Romance that will take you on a wild ride through many twists and turns, leaving you on the edge. She will also grab those emotions and have you crying one minute, to pissing you off, to having you crying again while you laugh.
This book is amazing! Had me gripped from the beginning! Britt never fails!
The characters are described perfectly and the storyline! Wow the storyline is on that grips you!!
The twists and turns! Damn it's a hell of ride and I thought Book 1 (Dare You To Catch Me) was a ride! 😱
That ending! Such a perfect ending to the Dare You Duet. The banter and laughs between the characters is perfect. It makes the book fun. I felt like I was beside Emma and Ace the whole way through.
Ace is so protective over Emma and god he will do EVERYTHING for her. The lengths he goes to protect her is incredible.
Emma is a fiesty woman but she always get what she wants, one way or another.
Bear is also very protective. Bear will go above and beyond, he's not blood family but he is Aces family, Bear is like a brother to him.
Kimmie, she's lovely and fiesty just like Emma. I mean that's what best friends is about. When these two are together there's nothing stopping them.
Crazy Jay learned everything from Ace. I mean he is the best. He's like family to Ace and Emma. He owns his own tattoo shop and gave Emma her first tattoo so he knows them from years ago.
This is a must read!!
You must read Dare You To Catch Me first as Dare You To Save Me is a continuation.
What a ride! Straight from the start this book picks up from where book 1 (DYTCM) left off! We get right into it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes include: Street racing Mafia families Secrets Betrayal Revenge plot Touch her/him & 💀 Soft only for her
Ace is EXTREMELY protective of Emma and will stop at NOTHING to protect her! There are no limits to what he will do for his wife!
Emma is so unhinged it’s amazing to watch her take on the world! She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to get it! I just love her banter and the connection she had with Bear!

Gotta shout out to the characters we get to delve deeper into too! Crazy Jay, Bear, Kimmie!! R+R & Kaiden! 🫶🏻🥰
So many plot twists and turns! You really get sucked in to the story, the characters and the ending!
This is a hard review to write….I could talk about this book for days! But I’m not spoiling nothing you will have read it!
Loved this book as much as the first one! (Dare you to Catch Me) There’s so much I didn’t see coming. Ace & Emma- love them both. We meet new characters along the way. This gave me all the feels! Anger, sadness, happiness, Love! And woah it’s hot! 🔥 This book has everything you could want/need in a book! The protectiveness, that we all want from a man. It’s action packed, fast paced, the banter, plus much much more!
If you don’t read this series I don’t think we can be friends anymore.
WOW, that was a wild ride. So many plot twists and things I did not see coming. This makes for a great wrap up for this duet. Possibly even leaves room for future books. Fingers crossed.
Britt Lynn does a great job of keeping me on my toes.
Favourite quotes.
“We embrace this moment, his hold on me tightens, feeling the safety in his arms, my rock, my home.”
“I wanted it, it’s mine, I will take it when I damn well please. He does.”
🌟 Rating: 5/5 Stars 🔥 Spice: 5/5 Heat 📚 Genre: Dark Mafia Romance / Street Racing / Found Family 🎯 “Sometimes saving someone means letting them burn with you.”
Dare You to Save Me picks up the torch and sets it ablaze. If Dare You to Catch Me was the firestarter, this one is the explosion. Book 2 doesn’t just deepen Emma and Ace’s relationship—it shatters the idea of them being just a couple. They’re a kingdom. A storm. A dynasty in the making.
Emma and Ace continue to walk the razor’s edge between love and power, proving that dominance and devotion can exist in the same heartbeat. Their chemistry? Still gasoline and fire—raw, dangerous, and obsessive. But this book takes us even further into their world, showing what happens when love is tested by loyalty, legacy, and blood.
Then there’s Bear. The loyal, gruff protector who finally gets his own heart cracked open by Kimmee. Their story is tender, chaotic, and filthy in all the best ways—a perfectly brutal counterbalance to the chaos around them. Watching Bear fall is like watching a beast finally find a home, and it adds a whole new layer of depth to the found-family dynamic.
And then—oh, the babies. This book isn’t just about war and survival; it’s about legacy, about building something out of ashes. Seeing the next generation woven into the story gives it this hauntingly beautiful, full-circle feel. The kids bring softness, hope, and the promise that even in blood-soaked worlds, love still wins.
The spice? Still unholy. Still dominant, raw, and relentless—but now it’s laced with intimacy that makes every scene hit even harder. Britt doesn’t just write smut—she writes moments that wreck you and heal you in equal measure.
🔥 Tropes & Highlights: • Power couple leveling up their empire • Street racing and mafia heat with even higher stakes • Found family turning into true family • Grumpy protector MMC (Bear) finally falling for sunshine energy • Babies, legacy, and generational storytelling • Possession, obsession, and unyielding devotion • Filthy, unapologetic spice balanced with heart
This book is everything. It’s dark, it’s devastating, it’s beautiful, and it cements this series as a must-read for anyone who craves high stakes, heavy spice, and love stories that don’t just survive the fire—they become it.
Absolutely breathtaking! Britt Lynn has crafted a masterpiece with Dare You to Save Me, a book that doesn't just pull you in it utterly consumes you. From the very first page, I was plunged into a world of intoxicating darkness, raw desire, and a magnetic pull I couldn't resist. This isn't just a romance; it's an experience.
The protagonist's internal world is so vividly drawn, it's almost tangible. Her journey is a mesmerizing dance on the edge of control, as she grapples with shadows that don’t just haunt her, but seduce her. Lynn brilliantly explores how the darkness itself "breaks her in all the right places and awakens the unhinged desire I swore I’d buried." You feel every flicker of doubt, every dangerous yearning, as she confronts the wildness within herself.
And then there's Ace. Oh, Ace! He isn't just a love interest; he's an accelerant to her flame, a mirror to her untamed spirit. It's clear from their very first interaction that "Ace doesn’t just see the chaos in me... he matches it. Craves it." Their connection is electric, dangerous, and utterly irresistible. The chemistry between them is palpable, a fierce inferno that leaps off the pages, leaving you breathless. Every touch, every word, every stolen glance is charged with an intensity that will make your pulse pound.
Britt Lynn masterfully builds suspense and emotional stakes, escalating the narrative until "when he whispers the unthinkable, my pulse stops." This book dares to ask the profound question that echoes at its core: "Can I be saved... or was I made to burn with him and all of our sins?" It’s a journey that challenges conventional notions of good and evil, love and obsession, redemption and damnation.
Lynn's prose is exquisitely dark and evocative, painting vivid pictures with every word and delving deep into the psychological landscape of her characters. Their flaws and desires feel undeniably real, making their choices and their fates feel incredibly significant.
If you crave a dark, passionate, and deeply psychological romance that will consume you entirely, stop what you're doing and pick up "Dare You to Save Me." It's a phenomenal 5-star read that I will be thinking about long after the final page. Prepare to be seduced, broken, and utterly captivated!

"I need this pain to stop strangling me, I need to find myself again, not this psychotic version of myself. I want me back!" - Emma
If fury had a face, it would be wearing Emma's ☠️
This is book two in the Dare You Duet. Make sure you read Dare You to Catch Me first, or you'll miss all the twisted layers and end up stumbling blind into the chaos. Where's the fun in that? 👀😏
Emma is getting fierce in this story. Together with Ace, she's untouchable, unstoppable, and absolutely lethal, especially when they set their sights on what they want. Together, they break rules and anything or anyone that dares to stand in their way 💀
Remember Bear? The big guy, Ace's right-hand man? And Jay, the tattoo artist? Well, let's just say Bear and Jay are finally running their own show. They got their own story now… and stirring trouble, too 😏
Twist after twist, just when I think things have finally settled, another one hits out of nowhere. I swear, this book doesn't even let me catch my breath 😂
We get to glimpse the future selves of Ace, Emma, and the rest of the crew this time. It’s bittersweet… I first met them when they were just young, wild, untamed, reckless, and full of fire, and now… seeing who they’ve become hits me right in the feels 🥹
A 5☆ read. And if a man doesn't worship you the way Ace does… why settle for anything less than being cherished, adored, and claimed in every way imaginable? 🔥
Britt you did it again, pure freaking amazing genius work! Every single book I read I fall in love with the characters and the plot. I devoured this book, it picked up right where book one left off and I couldn’t wait to pick it up. My heart was racing the entire time!
Ace and Emma, I mean I just love them. They are fierce and they are perfection together. They are obsessed with one another and their love is unhinged and I am here for it. Ace is so protective over Emma and he will stop at nothing to protect her.
Bear, I freaking love him! He is Ace’s brother, not by blood, but by loyalty and by what matters. He will protect them with his life. And he is there for Emma too when she needs her most.
Kimmie, she is the best friend Emma needs. She is spicy and spunky and I love her. And I love her for Bear.
Crazy Jay, he just sounds like the fun uncle or friend. The one who will keep all your crazy secrets and will help you get in trouble. I loved his character.
Oh and maybe a couple other surprise characters, but you’ll have to read and see because I’m not gonna ruin those surprises.
This book is full of heartache, adrenaline, crazy plot twists, lots of happy moments, some heart pumping moments, lots of spice, and so much action.
I don't even know where to begin, I binged this in THREE hours because I needed to know what happened next.
The emotional rollercoaster I went through? I expect my therapy to be paid for...
I cried, kicked my legs in happiness & wanted to scream often.
I didn't think that Ace & Emma could be put through any more, but of course they did!! Their relationship, trust levels & faith in each other was tested MULTIPLE times. Of course they pulled through though, how could they not?!
The plot twists, I ADORED. The spice, INCREDIBLE. THE EYES IN THE SKY SCENE (IYKYK), MY JAW WAS HANGING OPEN!!!
I also LOVED that we got a time skip & seen things many years later, dreams coming true, and as much happiness as a mafia family can have!!
Also, big shoutout to my man Bear, who will always be mine!! I'm so happy for him (also extremely jealous).
Another incredible book & this duet is my top racing duet EVER. I don't think anything can beat this. Everyone needs to read it!!!
I adored Emma here...
“You ever leave me like that again, I will burn our entire empire to the ground; you understand me?” Her words are venomous and spoken with pure truth to them. That’s my girl.
I loved this book just as much as the first one Dare you to catch me.
There is so many twists and turns I didn't see coming.
I loved Emma and Ace and everything they went through in this book was a rollercoaster of a journey between them.
We meet new characters along the way and let's just say they are as amazing as the main characters.
I fell In love with bear 😍😍
I felt every emotion reading this book sadness,laughter and happiness and love.
The spice was off the chart 🥵🥵🥵🥵and it was hot
It's action packed and fast paced and the banter between everyone was Awsome. I was hooked from the very first page and didn't put it down till I finished it
There is so much I could say about this book but i don't want to spoil the book for you so just grab it and read it you wont be disappointed.
You definitely need to to read the Dare you to Catch me before jumping into this one
Can't wait for future books and hopefully see more of the new characters we meet in this book.
Thankyou so much for allowing me to be an arc reader for you.
So excited i am part of the team and get to arc read this! The way i needed this second book! 🔥🖤
"Dont look at him, I'm talking to you."
This book had you on a wild ride down the mountain! 🔥
Emma is one strong/fiesty badass B. Like i thought she was badass in the first one.!.! Love her banter with Ace and the rest of the characters! Ace protects his babygirl and will go to any length to do so! He hates what he has to ask her to do. He wants to protect them and their future. The lengths they have to go to do so is such a wild ride!
The spice between these two is still so freaking hot! 🫠😏 like hot damn! 🥵 "I cant wait to rip this dress of you and reward you for being such a good girl tonight, my way."
I really loved this book! So well written. Love the story and how you feel in it! Great job! Thanks so much for letting me read this!
Britt, you’ve taken the intensity to a whole new level with Dare You to Save Me! This book dives deep into Emma's struggle as she faces the realities of her role as a Mafia heiress while grappling with the darkness that surrounds her.
The tension between Emma and Ace is electric, and their connection is even more palpable as they navigate their complex relationship. I loved how their "catch me" games reveal not just their passion but also their vulnerabilities.
Emma's journey is filled with suspense and emotional depth, and I appreciated how you explored her internal battles. Although I was still holding out for that Bear scene, the rest of the story made up for it with gripping twists and turns.
Overall, this book is a thrilling ride that kept me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see what happens next!
I love her writing style and I fell in love with book one and literally procrastinated on book 2 because it was the end and now I’m sad.
It’s a HEA. And let’s just say I did a good job of making Ryker my man. His character is just uff…
I need more. I got to the end and was like aww this is sweet!! Catch me if you can, I will always catch you (relationship goals people!)
Then the blasted thank you note and bloody h3ll!!! Britt you can’t let my man ride off into the sunset and say that’s it!! You come back here and give me more Ryker please and thank you lol
If you haven’t already you need to read both books!! You’ll laugh, cry. Get angry, get shocked and find a new book boyfriend or girlfriend except Ryker because I already called dibs in chat!
But yes do save to tbr and read because 5 stars!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book is the second in the duet and ohhh I loved it! It was action-packed, full of twists that had my jaw on the floor. The entire cast of characters was amazing, and Emma and Ace together are still absolute fire.
Emma is such a badass, and Ace will literally do anything for her — I adored them even more this time around. And the spice? Ohhh so spicy. Kimmie was another standout for me, feisty and fiery just like Emma, and Bear’s protectiveness melted my heart. I still need a Crazy Jay for myself. The whole team’s dynamic was incredible, and I’d sooo love to read more about them.
This book was a hell of a ride, and I’m so happy I got to be on it. The ending was perfect — they finally got the happy ending they deserved. Thank you Britt Lynn for this ARC!!
Holy hot damn what a freaking ride this book was! Absolute perfection! Emma is a freaking badass! I absolutely loved her so much. She is so strong but also a little unhinged and I was here for it! Ace is my man! I love him so much! He’s protective, and crazy, but he’s so sweet to Emma. Their connection is so strong. They are equally obsessed with each other. They match each others crazy perfectly and I was freaking here for it and as Crazy Jay said they are the true King and Queen. The banter is top tier! I felt so much for Bear and I could really feel how much he cared for Emma and Ace. There are so many plot twist I didn’t see coming. There is so much action that will leave you on the edge of your seat just dying to know what is going to happen next! This book was so exciting with great plot, spice, and characters.
ARC REVIEW Book 2 of the Dare You Duet. Continues the story of Emma and Ace. Such a good book and I literally couldn’t put it down. Such good writing and Britt Lynn has a way of making a readers breath catch and have you on the edge of the seat. I finished the book in 2 days because I had to know how the story unfolded and then a new twist would happen and I just had to keep reading. I am sad that the story is over…I would love to find out what happens with Emma and Ryker in the races in the States, and how Raine deals with the underground of their world and the control of what she calls her “twisted sister”. Britt Lynn has another great book and I loved this duet. Dark Mafia Romance, Contract Marriage, Friends to Lovers, Illegal Street Racing (For a full list please look on Britt Lynn’s instagram)
OMG this book wrecked me in the best possible way!! Dare You to Save Me is emotional, it's comical, it's serious, it's a sitting on the edge of your seat, and oh so spicy!
We meet some new characters along the way that just mesh so well with our MCs. The dynamics of all characters, the races, the action, the protectiveness, the possessiveness, the sass, the banter, the fun is everything you hope to have and read in a book.
There is just so much to love about this book that I can't even explain without giving anything away 😏
Even though Ace and Emma's story is over, I wish I had more!! Another epic book written by Britt Lynn that everyone needs to add to their TBRs and shelves!
This book babes! Britt Lynn outdid herself with this duet. We loved Emma and Ace in book one and got more of that love, that protectiveness in book two. Did I mention Bear 🫠he deserved everything he got, the best friend he was to Ace, the way he protected Emma. But boy that secret Emma was keeping and the events that transpired after had me on the edge of my seat like damn, how much does this girl have to go through for her happily ever after. This book is a HEA for my loves who need to know. Also there are a few more characters who come into play and I guarantee you’ll love them just as much as Bear, Emma, and Ace❤️
It was such a pleasure to read both books and be apart of the ARC for Britt, thank you so much.
Dare you to Save me @authorbrittlynn Book 2 review 📚 What have you got in your writing/ books that has me needing more !!! 😍 Emma definitely can hold her own God she's such a badass and brave! She takes shit from no one and doesn't like to be held down she learns that the best friend who taught her everything about racing is her brother (zee) and he wants the medallion he wants to rule the empire but the empire belongs to jee and her 🥵🥵 mafia king husband Ace I don't want to spoil it but I can memorize the entire book if I wanted I absolutely loved it that much and their sex drive Jesus ❤️🔥❤️🔥 def recommended reading this duet freaking amazing 💋🥀 Emma has been through so much but with Ace by her side she can Conquer the world !
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! This book is amazing and a book you will have a hard time putting down especially with this being book two and picked up where the last book left off at. The twists and turns and the plot twists are jaw dropping. You will continue to read the story of Ace and Emma as they work their way through the world that they were raised in and how they become the most baddest couple ever no matter what was thrown at them they always had each other to look to and support each other even when one of them didn't like what was going on or what the outcome was. This one will have you on edge with the action that is put in place so buckle up this will be one ride you will not want to miss out on.
This book was everything I could have asked for. Funny banter, speed, adrenaline, heartbreak, happiness and then the spice oh my god the spice!! This book takes you on a wild ride that is for sure. I felt everything, the excitement when Emma races her car, the love the characters have for each other, the worries when something happens all of it. We meet new characters in this book, and they fit perfectly. This book made the series complete and picked up where book one ended. The characters are very relatable, the story is built to get lost in it, so you never want it to end. And I did not want it to end. This book really is a must read. Just make sure you read book one first. You do not want to miss this.
I don’t even know where to start with this book. It took me through all the emotions from being sad to angry to happy.
I loved seeing Emma and Ace and everything they went through within this book. Hold onto your seats because it is a rollercoaster of a journey between them. Seeing more of Bear, Crazy Jay, and Kimmie also made me happy.
We are introduced to new characters who you will absolutely love. I hope to see more from them in the future. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and loved the writing style.
Favorite quote: “What started as an arrangement became something so pure and true, and honestly, meant to be. He is everything.”
Wow… just wow. I honestly don’t even know where to start—this book is amazing!
The first book leaves so many questions, and Britt answers them while still taking us on an emotional roller coaster. The plot twists kept me hooked, and just when I thought everything was settled, another adventure popped up.
Ace and Emma are such a great pair—their chemistry is off the charts, and the steamy moments are super fun. The story flows so well, and I couldn’t put it down.
It’s hard to review this without spoiling anything, so I’ll just say: read it. Totally worth it.
Dare you to save me is book 2 in the dare you duet! It is if I could give more than 5 stars the whole comment section would be full! We are introduced to new characters along the way who all have their part to play. There is a lot you don’t see coming. It has amazing spice! The chemistry between the mcs I could go on and on but I will end up spoiling it and I don’t want to do that! You will not be disappointed by this book at all make sure to read “dare you to catch me” before diving in and all your trigger warning as usual! I love bear and that’s all I will say on him! Quote “I am not your sweetie nor, am I sweet.”
Happy tears, scared tears, sad tears. All the tears, and all the spice. Dare You to Save Me is everything naughty and nice. OMG. Love the family (Empire) Emma, Ace and Bear built and love knowing the next generation is going to handle it just the same. This duet takes you on a ride that you definitely better buckle up for. It's the mafia story you want, and need. Dark, dirty but still a damn good love story. If you like your men dark, sexy with touch her and ☠️ vibes and you ladies with boss B vibes then this is the book for you...
OMG, I just finished "Dare You to Save Me," and let me tell you, it absolutely wrecked me—in the best way possible! This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. One minute I was laughing out loud, and the next, I was gripping my seat in suspense. And yes, it’s got that extra spice that keeps things exciting!
What really stood out for me were the new characters we meet along the way. They blend seamlessly with our main characters, bringing all sorts of dynamics to the table. The action is intense, and there’s this fantastic mix of protectiveness and sass that just makes the interactions so enjoyable. Seriously, the banter is top-notch!
Each character has their own unique vibe, and the chemistry between everyone is electric. I found myself so invested in their relationships and journeys. There’s so much to love and experience in this book that it's hard to even put it all into words without giving away too much.
If you’re looking for a read that’s packed with fun, excitement, and heartfelt moments, I can’t recommend it enough. Just dive in—you won’t regret it! 😏
Another amazing duet by Britt. You all need this on your shelf 😍😍
Dare You to Save Me was the perfect ending to this duet. Had so many twists and turns you have no idea what is coming next! Seeing all of the same people coming back with a few new ones to love, or hate, was great and the happy ending was exactly what they needed after what they went through. If you love Mafia romances this book is definitely for you!
If you thought Dare You To Catch Me was a wild ride, Dare You To Save Me is even wilder!!! I loved everything about book 2! I couldn't put it down!!! Both books have made it to my read me over and over again list!!!
What a freaking roller coaster of a ride. A few near death experiences and an emotional tornado. Loved everything about this book. An untold secret, street racing, and gunfights this book has it all!
