My Wildest Ride by Isabel Sharpe (Harlequin Blaze #376)
Back Blurb: The elite Martinis & Bikinis Club challenges you to risk it all. But once you pick a dare, there's no backing out! "Seduce the man you are most attracted to. Tonight." Boston bar owner Lindsay Beckham is in shock. She created the M&B club for all the feisty females who frequent Chassy. She has to fulfill her dare. Why not with Denver Langston, who mixes a mean Sex on the Beach cocktail? "Slowly get to know the woman you are most attracted to. Think long-term." Denver's fallen hard for Lindsay, but he knows she's vulnerable and hiding something. When she's suddenly seducing him over martinis, he's not about to complain. But can this wild sexual ride go drastically off course?
My Take: Although the back blurb leads us to believe that Denver picks a dare too, he doesn't. The dares are for the ladies only. This story has lots to keep us entertained. There's the sexual tension between Lindsay & Denver, and there's also blackmail. Lindsay struggles with trusting Denver enough to let him in - she's been hurt before. But she also has secrets that she can't afford to divulge. Denver practically bends over backwards trying to get close to Lindsay. He doesn't want to scare her away. I loved reading how Lindsay was so special to Denver, though he wasn't sure if she'd ever reciprocate his feelings. He was so-o-o patient.
I'm about halfway through
I'm about halfway through this book. Got sidetracked with other things. I guess I should get back to it. Glad to see someone else's take on it. I get Denver but I'm struggling to get Lindsay. Suppose I'll have to see how it all plays out.
I get your meaning
I think it's harder to get Lindsay because the author barely talks about her past, but she is very hesitant to trust and so I guess that accounts for her "coldness" at times
