Stuntman Draven O’Connor never turns down a dare—even if it means getting down on one knee to propose to his former college roommate and friend. The same man he’s been crushing on since the first day they met. The same man that has grown distant over the past year. And the same man who just agreed to be his fiancĂ©.

Julien Bouchard is tired of living a lie. He spent the past year exploring his sexuality in secret, enduring countless dates with women to appease his mother, and dodging his best friend, Draven, who knows everything there is to know about him, except the one thing that could change their friendship. Ready to face his friend, he meets him at a bar and is greeted by an unexpected marriage proposal. The dare isn’t surprising; it’s the scorching hot kiss that sends Julien’s head and heart in a tailspin—and gives him an idea for the perfect plan.

But perfect plans are never go according to plan, and news of their fake engagement spreads to their families as fast as a wildfire, forcing them to confront their true feelings about each other and hope they don’t get burned.

What an awesome story! I loved it. It took me until approximately half-way through the first chapter to get drawn into the story. A definite page-turner.

Draven is an interesting character with a devil-may-care attitude, which is perfect for him as a stuntman. This attitude was something that made me want to slap him upside his head. "What the hell were you thinking, accepting a dare like that?' would have been the first thing out of my mouth.

I'd then slap Tate upside his head for making the dare in the first place. An interesting dare at that.

Julien is an interesting character as well even though he's a workaholic.

Add an 'it's all about me' mother, and disinterested father and an awesome brother and you have a romance story worthy or Nora Roberts or Jacqueline Suzanne.

This is the first story I've read by Ms. Delaney, and it certainly won't be the last. I definitely hope it won't be the last we'll see from these characters. I'd love to see Quinn get his own story. He's the best supporting character in the book.

5 out of 5 stars and a definite recommendation.
