Dating Dare

Buzzfeed's 2021 Romance Novels You Need To Read This Summer

With witty characters and heartrending romance, Jayci Lee, author of A Sweet Mess, returns with The Dating Dare—where two people might just find out how hard it is to resist falling in love with the right person.


No serious relationships. This is the one rule Tara Park made for herself and it has been working swimmingly, thank you very much. The occasional fling is fine, especially since she’s busy with Weldon Brewery. But when Seth Kim, temptation personified and her best friend’s new brother-in-law walks into her life, Tara might be willing to bend her golden rule…but only for four dates—the four dates she agreed to after a few good rounds of beer and a game of truth or dare. It’ll be fun. No biggie.

Seth Kim can’t believe Tara agreed to his dating dare. He’s leaving for a new job in Paris in a month and a no-strings attached fling seemed like a nice little distraction for both… But their secret dates, while sweet and sexy, always hit roadblocks straight out of a romantic comedy. Thankfully, their non-dates and chance meetings are smoother, frequent, and heated. However, the more Seth sees of Tara, the less willing he is to let her go—and what was supposed to be a fun little game turns into something that neither of them are ready for.

But sometimes, the best things in life are the ones we never see coming.

DNF @ 6%. Awkward writing. Lots of seeing how they react to one another with thick sexual tension in the air. Tara, you already vow not to be involved with him, and still you allow a drinking challenge - and guess what! Seth was thinking, oh hey maybe he would be able to get that spring fling after all. We all know where this is going to lead. Cannot connect to the characters, and frankly, I find Seth disgusting.

Cute and funny.
Glad that third act misunderstanding didn't last long. I hate those.

Also, I didn't know this was part of a series. oops.

It took me so long to read this book because the chapters were so long and draggy. No smut, the romance wasn't any good - it felt like they would suit each other more as friends. And I literally can't remember anything else.

The 1 star is only because of the inclusion of the Korean culture in this book.

I love these books so much. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook for The Dating Dare. Tara was such a fun character in A Sweet Mess so I was excited she got a love story of her own!

I definitely recommend!
