—BLURB—
College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can’t say no.
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.

—MY REVIEW—
'THE DARE:'
Is a full length slow burn, friends-to-lovers trope by Elle Kennedy.
This author is the Queen when it comes to giving us our sports fixes and the hot hockey players she introduces us to in her stories which we all swoon over and fall in love with and Conor was no exception. He was dropping swoon worthy bombs all over the place.
When a few catty sorority sisters throw out a dare during one of their parties for Taylor to hook up with one of the hot hockey players she walks right up to Conor and begs him to just go with it and follow her upstairs. Conor bored with the goings on at the party and being the gentleman that he follows her to one of the empty bedrooms upstairs. As he plays along and notices how upsetting the situation is for Taylor he makes sure that she can walk out of that room with her head held high.
Conor was just utter perfection and my opinion about him didn't change throughout the book. He's probably one of my favourites within this series. Just his big heart and kindness throughout cemented me towards him.
Taylor was the perfect good girl for Conor, they needed each other, her with her self doubt and body shaming and him to take the world by the horns without doing what was required of him. There was just so much more to these two than met the eye and that just made for more of an enjoyable read.
I loved seeing Taylor grow as a person, from hiding in big clothes and staying out of the limelight to coming into her own, to the point of even sticking up for herself.
Super cute, Super sexy, Super easy to fall in love with these two characters.
