Dare Me
Again (Angel Fire Falls #2)
Blurb:
Making
dreams come true is a red-hot challenge for two stubborn hearts risking it all
on a second chance…
Hot-wired
and restless, financial wizard Elliott Remington doesn’t turn down a dare. This
time it’s to coordinate a service-dog boot camp for veterans at his family’s
resort. Success means a one-way ticket to the West Coast to pursue his dream
career. But it comes with a hitch: teaming up with his ex, who vanished on him
ten years ago with nothing more than a kiss-off note.
As
fiery as her hair and as stubborn as her name, Rebel Tate did what she had to
do—for Elliott’s sake and her own. A dog whisperer with a keen sense of
survival, she’s lived a tough life. Here she is, back in Angel Fire Falls,
doing what she loves, next to a man she’s never forgotten. While the flame
between them still smolders, neither is ready to get burned.
For
Elliott, trusting Rebel is a gamble. For Rebel, sharing the secrets that sent
her running is a risk. Now, while finishing a job that could define both their
futures, two hearts are about to collide—and a second chance at true romance
could be the greatest dare of all.

Review:
Returning
to the small charming resort of the Remington family, on the beautiful pacific
coast island of Angel Fire Falls, we are getting to learn more about middle son
Elliott and the girl who has come back into his life after years apart. I was looking forward to this story almost
from the very ending of the last book, knowing that any woman brave enough to
take of Elliott Remington would be extremely interesting to get to know. I have never read a story by Ms. Alexander
that I didn’t enjoy immensely, but this series is shaping up to be one of my
favorite so far. Filled with hilarious
characters, amazing backstories, and the love of a family that never seems to
be truly as straight-forward as we would expect, the Angel Fire Falls series
just keeps getting better and better.
Elliott returned home when his father called for him and his brothers’
help, but he never thought he’d still be around this long and when he is put in
charge of managing the family’ newest venture he is determined that is fail so
he can return to his job and life. Rebel and decided that she is willing to
face all of the drama and fears she has of her past in order to embrace the
biggest chance she has ever had in her career when she is offered the golden
ticket. Rebel and Elliott’s complicated past is thrown between them as they
have to find a way to work together, but they soon come to realize that their
feelings never died despite their separation.
As their passions run high, the friendship that made them so close takes
their feelings to such a point that soon they are out of their depth. But when their hard work begins to unravel
and they are forced with a hard decision, Elliott and Rebel have to decide if
they are willing to sacrifice their love in order to have what they always
thought they wanted out of their lives.
Elliott was a huge ass for most of this story, but he had moments of
sweetness and those moments made him interesting enough that I was able to
forgive his asinine behavior for the most part.
While we got to know Elliott more, we also saw that he was growing into
the true man he was always meant to be and he learned more about himself to as
he fell back into love with Rebel. Rebel
was a wonderful character, always contrite and knowing that she was going to
have to take the hardest route in her life, but I loved getting to see her
fight her hardest to find her place in the world. She was a woman that knew her
man and was willing to do anything to protect him, even something that would
break her and leave her broken for years.
The two of them together were hilarious at times, made me cry buckets at
others, but they always expressed their love and passion for one another. I am dying for the final story in series and
cannot wait to find who steals the youngest brother’s heart. A great and heartwarming series full of love,
passion, and sweetness with all the fun and magic that are expected from a
Shelly Alexander story.
