Once upon a time, I believed in love. Now I cannot remember how it feels. Not after an accident that scarred my body and soul. I am so sure I am unlovable I ignore my billionaire boss’ lingering touches and longing glances. It doesn’t matter that he is the only man I trust, the one who was there for me through everything.
Because if I can’t love myself, how can I expect Bastian to love me?
Bastian
Being an important man does me no damn good if the woman I love won’t let me in. I cannot woo or her buy her, and I wouldn’t want to. I just want to love her. Her tragedies might have scarred her—but they didn’t ruin her and I will do whatever it takes to prove it.
Reader: Mr. Dare was previously released as Double Dare, part of Flirt Club’s Resolution Series. It has been edited and has a brand new look!
Born and raised in the Midwest, reading and writing have always been Dee's passion. Short stories became long stories that finally, became books. While playing grownup during the day, meaning working a job, Dee wrote her first book. When not reading or writing, which leaves less time than she's proud of, Dee loves spending her time with her four furbabies, her husband and lots of movies nights.
Oh how I wish I had not read this. The dialogues are stilted and horrendously bad. Add to that they are repetitive and there are typos. This was slapped together without thought.
To say I didn't like it is an understatement. Some parts of some of the steamy sections were hot, but mostly they were awkward.
While I did enjoy this book, there were times it was off. They all professed their love WAY TOO MANY times and some smexy actions didn't seem plausible...he can't do 2 at the same time with the same equipment.
i read this book as part of an arc program. This is a quick and steamy read that is a part of the Resolution series written by a variety of authors. In this book, Sloan is in love with two people. She loves her best friend London and her boss Bastain. Sloan decides this is the year she will accept things about herself that she has always struggled with. Sloan has scars and has embraced them, she also decided to face her loves and tell them she wants them both. Bastain wants Sloan and tells her he loves her, he also knows about London. This was a quick and steamy read. I think Sloan knew what she wanted and she knew she wanted them all to be together. Bastain loved Sloan and was willing to share her London, and London knew she wanted to share as well. Good one.
Resolution: Double Dare by Dee Ellis a four-star read that you will want to read twice. I enjoyed this story very much, it just felt like it could have done with a little more story, that being said if you want short hot and steamy then you won’t go wrong with this. Personally, I just like a little more story. This whole series follows a great concept and you will love them all.
4 Stars The first comment I will make about this book was that is was over too quick. So, you will need to dive in knowing what you are getting, a super short, sexy, hot and steamy read. Our main girl, Sloan has some issues where she is self-conscious about her appearance. Sloan resolves to embrace herself with the power to make the right choices for her, to do what makes her happy. I enjoyed the dynamic between Sloan, London and Bastian. Despite the short length of this novella, I believed their feelings for each other were believable; their love was strong and I loved how it was Sloan, with her big heart, that tied them together. That said, this book is FFM which is not my trope of preference. It's nothing personal, I just prefer MFM, MMF, or MM. However, I'm glad I read this book. I enjoyed it and if anything else, it took me out of my comfort zone for a bit.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)
Oh my goodness! This was hotter than anything I've read so far. Love that Bastian and London agreed they both loved Sloan and were willing to make it work for her. My phone, computer, and every electronic that I opened this in just burned from how hot their interactions were.

Intimately Emotional Sloan is in love with her best friend London and her coworker, now boss, Bastian. She has been for the last 5 years. Now it's a new year & she dares to ask for what she wants, who she wants. She dares to get past her flaws & love these two in a big way. HFN. ABSOLUTELY signed up for Dee's newsletter to get bonus chapters to find out what happens next.
A Resolution Pact Short Story - These are a collaboration of authors bringing us short, sweet, sexy stories to give us Oooh's and Ahh's that make our hearts & panties melt in celebration of the New Year. I'm in love with these short story collaborations & am excited each time a new set is released.
Oh wow..wow...this one is super..super...super steamy. FFM romance is not my cup of tea, so I have a hard time to feel and believing what these characters feels towards each others, but the hot scenes totally make up for it, this book really got me squirming on my seat, the steaminess is off the roof and I love how Sloan embraces her flaws, I just wished there's more.
If you're looking for a steamy read and FFM is your cup of tea, this book is for you.

I was given an advanced readers copy of this book and have decided to leave a voluntary honest review. I'm rating this book 3.5.stars Im not really a big fan ffm mmf yes. So I think that's why I couldn't rate more.
If you’re looking for a quick sexy taboo read then this IS THE story for you. What happens when you push yourself out of your comfort zone? Sloan finds out when she embraces not just one person in her life but two. This is a page turner filled with non stop action that will leave you wanting more.
Our heroine is in love with her best friend (F) and the friend's boss (M). After getting a text about taking chances, she decides to follow her heart and see where the chips land.
This is part of the Resolutions series of loosely connection short stories. Each story is by a different author, with different characters and situations. The only thing in common is the triggering text message. Oh, and they fact that every one I have read is well written, fun and steamy.
This one was certainly no exception to that statement. I thought the plot was well done and the characters were solid and believable. This was a short, fun and steamy read, well worth an evening to enjoy.
Highly recommended.

Sloan wanted something different and to finally let herself be the person she wanted to be. Her dream job that she has been wanting for 5 years finally came open when the boss retired and his son took over. She also had a secret she has been keeping to herself she was in love with her now new boss, but she also was in love with her best friend. well she said it was finally tell them both that how she felt she was just hoping that they both felt the same about her and that they would be ok with each other being involved in her relationship together. Will she finally take a step get the job that should be her's and the people she loved most. great short story quick read and living life on the wild side.
Quick, steamy romance that will have you turning the pages in no time. So I am a huge Dee fan and love her work, her writing is always great and she always tells a fantastic story. Having said that, this is not one of my favourite but purely because it's FFM and that's just not my cuppa tea. There was nothing wrOng with the story line, inFact I really enjoyed it but I'm personally more of a MMF fan. This is my honest and unbiased review.
What a steamy read. FFM isn’t my usual read and whilst the feelings were beautifully described it just wasn’t for me. It would of been nice to have seen some more character back story for London and Bastian. Also to maybe have them actually have a conversation about their relationship... but I guess that’s kind of difficult with all the sex they were having 🤷♀️🤣 It’s still a great addition to the New Years resolution novella series.
Wow! This is a short but very hot read. Sloan, London, and Bastian have blazing chemistry that could have melted my phone lol. Sloan has been in love with both Bastian and London for years and finally gets the courage to act on her feelings.

Well written menage story. This was with FFM menage. Not my thing but still a well written story with nice storyline and fantasy level. A short but sweet read. Well written story with nice storyline and plot. A story about taking chances and letting yourself follow the road to your HEA in spite of the bumps on the way.
Sloan takes the new year's resolution to heart and admits her love and desire to London her best friend and Bastian her boss. The scenes with London and Sloan and Bastian and Sloan are steamy hot. Nice addition to the series.

This was my first time reading a FFM story. It was ok. I wish there was a bit more character development and more of a back story to the characters, like how or what did the scars look like. Were they so bad that they have her a complex about her body? But overall it wasn't bad.
Sloan has been crushing hard on these two: Logan and Bastian. After her and her girls make a New Years Pack (kinda in the name and well two people and double. you get the picture...) She finally goes after what she wants. This was a nice menage book. The scenes were steamy, the book was a quick read. There was FF which was a breath of fresh air. Loved this little book from Ellis.
Oh my god this book is so hot and naughty. If you want channel your inner bi-side this is a must read. Very vivid descriptions of the sex Sloan has with her best friend London(girl) and her boss Bastian(boy) seperate and all together. So so naughty.
Resolution: Double Dare by Dee Ellis is a great short read; hot,steamy,interesting and enjoyable .well written, exciting characters with plenty of steam,well done!

This is a steamy, quick read with a twist that made it even hotter. Sloan is in love with Bastian her boss and her best friend London at the same time. These three have great chemistry. A fantastic addition to the Resolution Pact. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
