The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class.
Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties…and in Greek Row sorority beds. He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop—rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy.
Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it’s fun to pull the wool over my frenemies’ eyes.
But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I’m realizing there’s much more to Conor’s story than his fan club can see.
And the longer this silly ruse goes on, the greater the danger of it all blowing up in my face.

“Thank you,” she breathes the moment we’re alone.
“No problem. Mind if I make myself comfortable?”
“Um, yeah. I mean, no. I don’t mind. Sit if you want. Or—wow, okay,
you’re lying down.”
I grin at her visible nervousness. It’s cute. While I stretch out
my six-foot-two frame amid the stuffed animals and decorative pillows on the
bed, she remains the startled rabbit plastered against the door and breathing
heavily.
“Gotta be honest,” I tell her, entwining my hands behind my head,
“I’ve never seen a girl so unhappy to be locked in a bedroom with me.”
This has the desired effect of loosening her shoulders and even
eliciting a shy smile. “I have no doubt.”
“I’m Conor, by the way.”
She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, I know.”
“What’s the eyeroll for?” I ask, playing wounded.
“No, sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it. Just, I know who you are.
You’re, like, campus famous.”
The more I watch her, hands braced at her sides against the door,
one knee bent, dirty-blonde hair a little messy and draped over one shoulder, I
can’t help picturing myself holding her arms above her head while I explore her
body with my mouth. She’s got very kissable skin.
“Taylor Marsh,” she blurts out, and I realize I don’t know how long
we were silent until then.
I scoot to the far side of the bed and put a pillow beside me as a
divider. “Come on. If we’re going to be in here awhile, let’s at least make
friends.”
Taylor laughs out a breath and with it she releases a bit more
tension. She’s got a nice smile. Bright, warm. It takes a bit more coaxing,
however, to get her on the bed.
“This isn’t like a move,” she tells me, lining up stuffed animal
guards to patrol the pillow wall between us. “I’m not some sort of weirdo who
tricks men into getting in bed with her and then mauls them.”
“Sure.” I nod with mock seriousness. “But a little mauling would be
okay.”

One of my favorite series is back and The Dare did not disappoint. When a college dare turns into an unexpected and fake relationship - it will have you cheering and laughing at this couple - Conor Edwards and Taylor Marsh.
The Dare is nothing but short with college drama, humor and a sweet and sexy story line. When Taylor Marsh's mean girl sorority sisters dare her to hook up with one of the Briar U's hottest hockey player, Taylor walks up to Conor Edwards asking him to play along.
Conor Edwards is on the Briar's U hockey team. He's a transfer from Cali and immediately connected with his teammates and when Taylor asks him to play along, he was game. Conor is sweet and stayed that way throughout the book. He was willing to help Taylor, and ended up striking up a tight friendship (or more...) with her.
These two had instant chemistry from the beginning despite the insecurities that Taylor had. But Conor was determined to break her walls down and build up her self-esteem no matter what it takes.
The Dare will take you through from their fake relationship, friends, to a real relationship, but not without many dramas!
