Dare to Love #1
Truth or Dare
In a deliciously sexy twist on the classic game, USA Today bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly proves that when playing truth or dare—always choose dare.
After her one attempt at commitment ends with the discovery that her fiancé already has a wife and kid, Maggie Lawson vows that the only people she’ll love ’til death do they part will be her friends. Unfortunately that means Maggie letting her bestie rope her into a year-long dating score a new date each month or pay a penalty. Seems doable—until Maggie’s date stands her up, leaving only one the sexy stud who just moved in upstairs. The problem? He and Maggie can’t stop fighting—and that’s just the beginning.
His name is Tyler Daniels and the last thing he needs is his neighbor distracting him with her girl-next-door smile and sharp tongue. Tyler’s in Chicago for one to woo back his selfish ex in order to reclaim the child he once thought was his—and that means keeping Maggie out of his bed. A tall order, since Maggie has become a bigger temptation than he ever expected to face. But before they can even consider leaving the past behind, Maggie and Tyler must accept a brand-new real, forever love.
Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from other Loveswept titles.

3.5/5 stars. I love Tyler, but Maggie was annoying for most of the time. Review to come.

4.5 Snarktastic Stars
I'm kind of a fickle bitch when it comes to book boyfriends. I like to play the field. But it's not often I come across a super special lady I'd like to make my own, BFF style. Maggie is that fictional woman. Smart, honest, drama free and sarcastic as hell. Tyler was all kinds of awesome and I loved these two together. The drama found in this book came from actual events being played out, not miscommunication that could easily be rectified or one character thinking they just weren't worthy of the other's love. Repeat. These two were honest and open from the beginning (or at least after the middle finger pirate booty incident) and I sooooo needed that. The sexual tension and subsequent sexy times gave it that extra HOT I wanted.
On to Ava and Sam's story next. Thank you, ARC fairy for that blessed gift!
ETA: I'm changing my initial rating from 4 to 5 Stars. Yep, I liked this one just that much!

This one wasn't bad. Not so good vibrations when Tyler and Maggie first met. He was a bit of a dick to her. She didn't want a steady relationship. He did ... but not with her ... and for very different reasons. Eventually they become friends.
But sexual tension creeps in. Will they, won't they? If they do, can they still be friends.
I liked Tyler. Smart, sexy, charming, sarcastic.
I really liked Maggie. She was no-nonsense, straight up, solid. She had been hurt in the past and was not willing to go down that road again.
Don't think I have read anything by this author but I will be checking out more of her books.
Ava's story should be interesting.

This very well may be a case of "it's not you, it's me," as I've been in one huge book slump. Nothing seems to spark my long term attention or interest. This book I set down for two days and each time I picked it back up, I was lost to the plot so ended up backtracking over and over. So, I'm calling it quits. I loved the second book in this series and thought I'd enjoy hearing Maggie's story. Apparently not. Looking forward to book three in the series, however. Hoping it's the elusive Ford's book!

4 holy-sexual-tension Stars!
Sharp dialogue, readable prose, interesting characters -- it hit all the right points for me.
Tyler recently upended his life in New York to move to Chicago to get back his ex-girlfriend and a son that wasn't his biologically but loved nonetheless. He moved into Maggie's apartment building. Maggie, being a good neighbor welcomed Tyler with a plate of cookies and Tyler totally misread the situation and ended up insulting Maggie.
I just loved all the characters except Gina of course. I totally got the Singles vibes in this book with the whole apartment building set-up. Maggie had a heart breaking back story which totally explained why she shies away from any serious relationship. Tyler also had shitty luck when it comes to his love life. The only bright spot was his son who turned out to be not his because his ex totally cheated on him. He was willing to give his son everything including staying with his son's mother instead he lost him when his ex decided to play house with her new boyfriend who happens to be his boy's real dad. My heart just broke for him.
Overall, I really liked this book and I hope that this will turn out to be a series because I'm interested to know more about Maggie and her neighbors!

4 Cookie-licious Stars
ARC provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Maggie Lawson is still against any kind of relationship three years after she learned that the man she was about to marry, was not only already married, but he also had kids, in a very public and very humiliating way. But then her best friend someway traps her in a stupid dare to go out on at least one date a month. Maggie cannot afford the steap price of losing a month so when her date cancels at the last moment she is forced to go out with Appartment Three, also known as Tyler, the hot but completely rude guy from the next floor.
Tyler has come to Chicago for one reason only. To get back what he once had. For that to happen he can't afford to get into a relationship, something that becomes more and more difficult when faced with Maggie. She is everything he could ever want, from her spanky perconality, to her knack for baking cookies. She is also everything he can't have if he could ever hope to get back Charlie, the little kid he thought was his for a year.
Still, the attraction between them only seems to grow and since neither of them wants a relationship what's the harm with fooling around for a bit?
I was very surprised that I enjoyed this book so much. The consept is really nothing all that original but I enjoyed what ML Kelly brought on the table.
For one thing, this a NA book where the heroine actually knows what she wants to do with her life. She has a life plan, she has the funds for it, and when that doesn't go so well she finds a new solution.
For a second,in the book, although there is a HEA, everything doesn't go all well and rosy.
I also liked the fact that although there were secrets between them, the hero revealed them before they went to bed together. There wasn't some crazy showdown in the end that the heroine learned it from a stranger or by looking at his phone. And the fact that Maggie was so supportive and never whined or tried to keep him was also much to her credit.
My only issue was the writing. It wasn't all that bad, but it was confusing at times. References that flew over my head, some lines that I had no idea what they meant, stuff like that.
PS. I can't wait for Sam's and Ava's book!

This was the first book I ever read by Mira Lyn Kelly. It came as a surprise to me how much I enjoyed the characters and the whole story. The pace is just right. These are characters who are flawed and who are presented as such - with an attitude and a temper! Tyler is dreamy and Maggie is the girl for him. Their friends are those meddling, inquisitive, curious ones who drive you insane and that you secretly (or not so secretly) wish you had. The banter had me smiling the whole time. Great love story. Loved it.

3.5 - "Apartment Three, whatever you're offering. I'm interested."
Truth or Dare is the first book I have read by Mira Lyn Kelly, it won't be my last. I really enjoyed her fresh, fast paced writing. The banter between the characters and the one liners was some of the best I have read for a while.
Tyler Wells gave good date.
What begins as a series of one off dates for Maggie and her friend Ava turns into something so much more when the new guy upstairs turns out to be more than just an annoying albeit hot new neighbor. It turns out Tyler has more going on in his life than just moving cities for work, and as his relationship with Maggie develops beyond the friends-with-benefits they initially agreed upon you begin to see a guy stuck between trying to do the right thing, and what is right for him.
One kiss would never be enough.
The man had skills.
I liked this book, the first 60% kept me fully invested in the story. It did fizzle a little in the second half, I struggled to completely believe the whole Gina situation, and Maggie's somewhat easy acceptance of it. Tyler inevitably does the right thing, which I liked, and the epilogue rounded things off nicely for them.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series Touch & Go, this is Ava's story (Maggie's best friend) and I love nothing more than a friends to lovers story.

3.5 UST-filled, sentimental stars
I thought it was going to be a light-hearted story with a bit of snark – which I always find highly entertaining. And while it certainly starts out that way, the story took a turn which changed the whole feel of the book for me. The sexual tension was still very much present, and played out fantastically, but there’s a lot of heart to this story, and I thought the whole thing was tied together really well.
Maggie has had bad luck with relationships, so has retreated to the safety of life without romantic entanglements. Her “tranquil little corner of Platonia” which is safe, reliable, and stress-free. She has a job she loves, a clear career path and a fantastic group of friends, and she is content with her life.
When Tyler moves into the apartment upstairs, his immediate antagonism towards her rocks her happy little life a bit, but she brushes him off, and soon the two settle into an existence of teasing, snark, and witty putdowns. But as much as he aggravates her, Maggie can’t stop thinking about “the antagonistic jerk who’d been her best bickermate since the day he moved in”.
And just to make things extra interesting, Maggie’s best friend, Ava, is tired of the single life and has roped Maggie into a pact where they each must have one date per month, going in with an open mind and honestly exploring the opportunity of something ‘more’. And when one of Maggie’s dates leaves her high and dry, it’s her annoyingly sexy neighbour that ends up coming to her rescue.
I will admit, the whole ‘must date’ premise is a little bit stupid, but as a plot device it works as a way to progress Maggie and Tyler’s relationship, and it works beautifully as they actually get to know each other, become friends, and then, of course, it’s not too long before the chemistry between them morphs into sexual tension that has them both panting for each other, and had me grinning with each little encounter. And oh holy hell, it��s hot! These two are on fire! Neither of them want a relationship, but they are open about their attraction, and when they agree to do the whole ‘let’s embrace the chemistry and get this out of our system - no strings attached’ thing, the sexy time is steaming!
But Tyler has a secret in his past – one that is keeping him away from exploring a relationship of any kind. And well played, Ms Kelly! This sort of storyline can be annoying, but I really liked this one. It was unique, it was completely understandable, Tyler came right out and told Maggie about it so she knew what the situation was, and honestly, it just made me fall for him more. What an amazing guy! But when the moment comes for their ‘fling’ to stop, both of them realise that they have fallen for the other, and letting go isn’t going to be as easy as they originally thought.
I love this relationship! There’s no game playing, they are both completely straight with each other about how they are feeling, and what their expectations are, and the drama and conflict is all external to what is going on between them. And OMG, I felt it! Every little moment of it! I could understand both sides of the story, and I admire the two of them so much for how they handled the situation! It is heartbreaking, but also beautiful, and I loved watching it all play out! And just when I thought I had the ending all figured out, I actually ended up being surprised by it, but I thought it was perfect for them.
I really enjoyed this book! It’s fun, it’s sexy, there is drama which is handled really well, and of course the romance is gorgeous. The story is told in dual POV, and it does flip around a little bit, but I really liked getting to see both sides of the story.
Maggie’s friends are also a highlight. They are as close as friends can be, all living on top of each other, in each other’s lives, and sharing quips and constantly teasing, they are so funny, but they also genuinely lovely each other, and are always there for one another. I’m really looking forward to getting to know them more as the series continues.
This was a great read. Light and fun with a bit of sexy time and a lot of heart. I really liked it

“Just once. Wouldn’t it feel good to let go? Knowing we’re on the same page about tomorrow?”
“Maggie. I don’t want to use you.”
“What if I use you first?” And there was that single arched brow, the teasing smile, and challenge mixed with a breathless sort of anticipation he couldn’t ignore. “What if I use you harder?”
“Maggie,” he warned, though the only thing she was going to get if she kept it up was exactly what she was asking for.
“Tyler,” she mimicked sternly. Then, meeting his eyes with the calculating look that had gotten to him all those months in the hallway, she added, “I’d totally use you harder.”
And that was it. He was done.

This book was sexual tension central and I love me some good sexual tension! :)
I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I was going to cause I've been reading some meh books lately. I loved both the hero and heroine in this.
Tyler was sexy and he knew it. When he first moved to Chicago, he was stressed dealing with things he wish he didn't have to, when a girl was at his door with a plate of cookies. Being the irresistible God that he knows is, he immediately assumed that she was there to bribe and proposition him.
"Christ, I don't need this. Look Apartment Two, whatever you're offering, I'm not interested."
Maggie was burned in a past relationship that has her sworn off of any relations of any kind. She has her friends and that's enough for her. When a new neighbor moves into her apartment complex, she decides to do the neighborly thing and bake him some cookies to welcome him. When she shows up at his apartment, she's met with a wide open door, and blaring hard rock. She found herself transfixed on the sight before her because wow. Just wow. Until she was caught and then addressed.
"What I'm offering? So we're clear here, Apartment Three..." Maggie tucked the milk into the crook of her elbow and folded the plastic wrap back from the plate, infusing the air around them with the pure essence of melted chocolate, toasted oats, and the rich, buttery goodness of family recipe so sacred, only three people in the world knew it. Selecting the biggest one, Maggie lifted it to her mouth and bit, chewing with deliberate relish. "...is my suggestion you look over your rental agreement regarding noise polution and turn your music down. Or at least close your - " The door swung shut in her face.
And that's when the banter begins. This book was so fun, flirty and at times, hilarious. I really enjoyed Maggie's character because even though she went through some tough, deprecating stuff, she didn't completely seclude herself and become this weak woman with no self-respect. She still fought when she felt necessary, and she did plenty of that with Tyler ;).
Tyler's character was enjoyable because, well, he's hot. And he knows it. And yea, that's about it. Just kidding. Not really but really. He has this desire to be a father to his son that he took care of for the first year of his life, only to find out he wasn't his real son. And yet he was still doing everything he could to stay in this child's life. Even if it meant putting up and dealing with his semi-crazy ex.
All in all, very enjoyable read! This is a def-rec for me. I look forward to this author's next books!

~~3.5 Hearts~~
I felt some similarities to The Neighbor from Hell with this book. The cookie loving guy and the sexual tension it was all a little too familiar. But not as funny as The Neighbor from Hell but I still enjoyed it. The sexual tension in this book was filled to the brim. Was Truth or Dare a great title for this book? IMO, no. I understand the pack but what Truth or Dare aspect did they have to face?
Maggie vows to swore off men since her recent attempts at commitment ends badly. So her best friend tries to get her back in the dating world, so they start a year-long dating game. They have to score a new date each month or pay a penalty.
Tyler was witty, funny, charming, and the neighbor in 3A that just moved in upstairs. He uprooted his whole life trying to please his ex-girlfriend so he can be a part of his son’s (which he thought) life. I didn’t like that situation too much. I understand that he saw the kid as his own but I don’t see trying to appease his crazy, cheating, unreasonable ex in any and every way helps the kid out any. I felt sorry for Tyler and how he was strung along by his ex. I felt like he was just a doormat at times. There was a lot of unnecessary drama.
I did enjoy the playful banter between Maggie & Tyler.

3 Stars...!
The story probably deserves a 4.5 star rating but I couldn't connect with the writing. This was my first book of the author and she just didn't work for me.
The story was a good one. I liked their banter, the concept, the gang. I liked Maggie, Tyler, Ava,Sam, Ford. I'm actually looking forward to Sam and Ava's book. But the author explains each detail so explicitly that it gets borderline boring. I skipped a few passages and at the end I was just rolling to finish the novel.
And I was really disappointed with the ending. You know the feeling when you feel like you heard something and pick up a cricket bat just in case whereas it turns out to be nothing?
That's how sapping the end was. It was abrupt and didn't appease me.
But this could all just be me and you could love the bobook. So if you like a fun contemporary romance. The enemies turned lovers type? Then be sure to pick it up.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the scene where Maggie and Tyler meet. The banter between these characters is witty but also has some hot sexual tension. I love Maggie's group of friends. While I did really enjoy this book, I had a few small issues with Tyler. I did not agree with some of the choices he made and because of this I found him to be frustrating at times. Overall, this book was sexy, had great witty banter and had some really sweet moments. The supporting characters are really interesting and I am really looking forward to reading more in this series.

Truth or Dare was my first novel by Mira Kelly but will definitely not be my last
Years ago Maggie was in a relationship which has left her broken hearted at the alter. since than she has not felt the need to be with a man. she has her friends with whom she shares a apartment complex and enjoys life at its fullest. Life is good till Tyler moves in Apartment Three and with that her peaceful and quiet life changes.
Tyler moves (hopefully) temporary into the apartment complex to get his life back on track and regain his lost past. He and Maggie have immediate chemistry - but in a good way, at least at first
Their move from "enemies" to friends to lovers is one of the most romantic, sizzeling and soulfull stories I ever read. Their banter is so funny that I had to laugh out loud several times, the chemistry between them is hot and sizzeling and their feelings really deep. both characters have their secrets, their scars from their past and their hopes for the future. both have their reasons not to trust easily and why they behave like they do.
the wonderful thing in this story is, that it is not the typical story about "falling in love, have a misunderstanding, come together again". this story is heart-wrenching but also full of hope and has much more depth than a lot of contemporary romances.
together with their friends, Ava, Sam and Ford this is also unbelievable funny.
I really, really loved this book and can't wait to read more stories about these characters and really hope that Mrs. Kelly won't have us wait too long for the stories of the other three.
all in all, this was sweet, funny, romantic, gut wrenching and Hot .... nearly perfect .... I loved it!

Review to come.......

Technically I DNF'd at like 95%. I was just THAT over this.
Basically Tyler moves into the apartment above Maggie. They have instant chemistry but he behaves like dick initially, so a fun bickering of sorts ensues. Maggie and her friend have this stupid dating 'pact', did I mention stupid? Anyway, boring, boring, boring, then they end up on a date and have to follow through on one of the pact's rules, and kiss.
But Tyler isn't really available. Good God. Warning: eye rolling inevitable!
Tyler's ex told him he had a son, who he raised for like a year and a half, before she took off with the real father, some band member. But Tyler is waiting for Gina to come crawling back, because he has everything to offer her. Just so he can see his son again.
OMG Tyler is a dickhead. Did it suck that he was lied to, and that his son was taken from him. Hell yes, but his self deprecating and martyr ways were just annoying AF and I HATED him! Hated. Him.
Spoilers below -if you've got this far you're almost doing better than me!
Fast forward and the silly ex marries the father, he finally realises Gina is a dumb bitch who has been lying to like, everyone, and he decides to basically move on with his life. With Maggie.
Lots of sex ensues, but by this stage I was well and truly over this!
Okay, rant over...

This is an oldie turned into an audio and it was a good one. Maggie finds out her boyfriend is married and has children. She is devastated and so this starts the truth or dare pact with her best friend. A different date every month. Too bad all she really wants to do is hole up in her apartment. Ty has moved in upstairs and at first when she tries to welcome him to the building he is really rude and she steers clear. When they find themselves together repeatedly the spark is there. What happens when Ty's former girlfriend finally tries to pull him back? I really enjoyed this one.

It was a nice romance too bad it only focussed on Tylers issues and not really in debt on Maggies issues.

In the interests of full disclosure, the book I read did *not* have this cover! 😂
Easy, fun read. Reasonably likeable characters, nice complication, HEA. What’s not to like?

The first scene in Truth or Dare opens with the heroine, Maggie Lawson, doing the neighbourly thing by bringing a fresh-baked cookies to the new guy in the building. He happens to be our hunky hero, Tyler Wells. Unfortunately, the reception she receives is less than friendly. Okay, it’s downright surly.
And so sets the tone of the beginning of the book. I loved it! Nothing like a surly hero who is, at some point, going to have to apologize for his behavior. Of course Maggie can’t stand him now. And who can blame her. I didn’t. His subsequent apology falls on deaf ears and her “caustic” response then sets the tone for their interaction over the following months. The only thing I wish here is that readers were witness to that scene instead of Tyler reminiscing about it after the fact.
Over the next five months, they exchange a litany of barbs whenever they come in contact. Something they both secretly enjoy. I laughed at this scene where they poke fun at each other’s lack of a love life.
But as you can imagine, beneath the surface of their barbs is a sizzling attraction that neither will acknowledge but just won’t quit. It’s when Tyler becomes friends to her friends in the building that they decide to become “friends”.
Snort. Yeah, right. There’s no way that’s going to happen. I know it and they should have known it too but I love watching as they come to the realization that the just friend thing is so not going to work between them.
Unfortunately, all those plans started circling the drain as soon as her eyes landed on the stubble rough, untucked and comfortably worn packaging of a guy who wasn’t looking at her like a friend at all. Because friends didn’t do that full-body slow, burning sweep with their eyes that ended with them staring at the other’s mouth.
When they finally succumb, the sex between them is hot. Love it. And there’s so much more than just the sex that makes it hot but the emotion in it. Those are the kinds that make for the best love scenes. But Tyler is determined that nothing can really happen between them because he’s not “available” for a relationship with anyone. I won’t tell you what that is, but it wouldn’t give any woman a reason to hope for anything serious. So they vow that’s the first and last time.
The problem is, knowing there’s no future in a relationship between them and accepting that. Both try… to no avail.
Beyond a well-developed, tension-wrought and surprisingly deep love story, Mira Lyn Kelly introduces a wonderful cast of characters in Truth or Dare. Her best friend, Ava and her brother, Ford—who is their collective landlord—and Sam, a general man-whore, are characters whose stories I want now. Kelly gives you just enough about them individually to peak your interest but not so much that their lives take away from the Maggie and Tyler’s romance.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book. And I’m champing at the bit for February 17, 2015 to arrive when we’re going to get Ava and Sam’s story in Touch & Go! YAY!!! I just read the blurb. I was hoping they’d get together.

Only then the guy raked a hand through the damp mess of his hair and blew out a strained breath. “Look, Apartment Two. Whatever you’re offering, I’m not interested.”

“…And what is this I hear about you and Rosie Palms?” she asked with a pointed nod at his hand, the saccharine sweetness all but dripping from her fangs. “Picking out rings, already?”
…
“Yeah, well, we’ve been exclusive for a while now,” he said, holding up “Rosie”, his right hand, and giving in to a grin as he started up the stairs. “Time to make an honest girl of her.”

“I’m sure,” she gasped, her hands sliding up and down the hard contours of his chest. “This is sex. No expectations. Just two people taking advantage of an opportunity they seldom see.”

Authors, study this book if you want a detailed lesson in sexual tension. The push and pull between these characters as they grow closer, but not too close, is anxiety inducing in a delicious kind of way. I thought the writing was strong, I've enjoyed some of Kelly's other books, but this one felt tighter in some ways. Still, there was something about these two that didn't tug at my heartstrings. While the romantic conflict kept me turning the pages, it was also completely contrived. Maggie's internal conflict -- having been unknowingly engaged to a married man, and called out by his pregnant wife -- has understandably made her swear off dating. But something about her continued persistence to being closed to any real dating possibilities rang a little false. Maybe we didn't get enough of her true personality for this to feel like an organic decision and not just something the plot needed to have happen.
And as for Tyler, we don't find out his mysterious reasons for not wanting a relationship until about 44%, and they're kind of weird. Sweet, but weird. Here the difficulties of creating convincing romantic conflict in a contemporary romance are evident. His situation is different, I'll grant you that, and makes him basically beyond perfect as a hero, but still struck me as ... well, weird.
The surrounding group of friends that Maggie has is both entertaining and mystifying. Platonic besties Ford and Sam are around a lot, but we only really ever get to know Ava, and I still couldn't quite pin her down. The characterizations left too many empty spaces, so they never felt fully formed.
That's probably why I almost put it down half way through, but the Tyler revelation pulled me the rest of the way and it was a nice way to spend a few hours. I'm down for the sequel (the hero and heroine of which I totally called way early).

**Received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.**
"Truth or Dare" is written by Mira Lyn Kelly, and it is the first book in her Dare to Love series. This story features Maggie Lawson and Tyler Daniels.
Maggie has been heartbroken before. But she agrees to go along with her friend, Ava's dare -- have a new date each month or there will be a penalty. One month, Leo aka Hot Doc stands Maggie up. He can't leave work. What is she going to tell Ava?
Tyler and Maggie haven been arguing ever since he first moved into the building. They banter over the cookies Maggie refuses to share with him. They throw gibes at one another when they run into each other in the stairs. But despite their constant arguing, there is that underlying chemistry between them. Tyler sees Maggie was stood up, so he offers her his proposal -- go out with him. She agrees.
Their first date was unexpected. Maggie didn't think he would take her to a bowling alley, but she found it refreshing. She realizes that she kind of likes Tyler. She's also starting to wonder about the pact she agreed with Ava. Can she continue along with these dares?
I absolutely adored Tyler and Maggie! Their chemistry was sizzling, and Tyler was completely swoonworthy! I've read so many romance novels, and honestly, the plot to "Truth or Dare" was different from the typical romance novels I've read. It kept me on the edge of my seats. One thing I really liked about Tyler was his loyalty. Readers will find out the real reason he stayed in Chicago. You can't help, but admire him for it.
"Truth or Dare" was such a wonderful book! I highly recommend it! You will love Tyler and Maggie, and you will love Maggie's friends! So glad the next book in this series, "Touch & Go", will feature Ava and Sam's story!

"Waiting for one woman's relationship to fail so he could pick up the pieces and hoping for another's to crumble because if he couldn't have her, he didn't want anyone else to, either"
From their first encounter, I loved the banter between Ty and Maggie.
My heart broke for the both of them. One had a heartbreaking past and the constant threat of another heartbreak. I shed tears for another amazing person who sacrificed their life for an innocent child.
I love Mira Lyn Kelly's books because you fall in love with the characters and your heart feels their joys and their heartaches.

I chose Dare
Maggie and Tyler's twist and turns confused me at times. I confess to having a hard time finishing this one. Don't get me wrong it has it moments, hilarious ones at that but there something that made me want to stop reading.
Fell for Tyler, he's sexy and he knows it. He's hot, sarcastic and sweet.
Is it wrong for me to look forward Ford's story?

I so enjoyed this book!!! Incredible tension, a great cast of characters - undoubtedly all ready for their books -- some very funny moments and lines (friends don't let friends take their wine home in a baggie!) And some really gooey emotional conflict. Totally enjoyed this!!

Melodramatic romance
Tyler is in his early 30s and is a highly successful freelance marketer of some sort who works from home. He is formerly from New York City and currently lives in Chicago. Tyler is desperate to gain visitation rights to 2-year-old Charlie, whom he assumed was his biological child for 18 months, during the pregnancy and until Charlie was a year old. At that time, Charlie's mother informed him that Charlie is not his biological child and that she was returning to her ex-boyfriend, the actual father of Charlie. Tyler was utterly devastated by this betrayal, and he is willing to sacrifice his whole life on the altar of appeasing the narcissistic user who is little Charlie's mother. Unfortunately she enjoys far too much having both the father of her child and codependent Tyler in her thrall to give him any real hope that his enormous sacrifice will pay off.
Maggie is a 27-year-old college graduate who manages an art gallery that she hopes to buy from the owner within the year. She is down on dating because of the betrayal of her ex-fiance, until she meets her gorgeous new upstairs neighbor, Tyler. Unfortunately, he has no interest in dating her or anyone else and is rude and abrasive to her whenever they meet, which causes her to be equally snippy to him in return.
Most of this book is spent with Maggie and Tyler both extremely sexually attracted to each other but dancing around that attraction, because Tyler is determined to be the most upright citizen the world has ever known so that somehow, someday, a judge will allow him visitation access to Charlie. Tyler and Maggie start out as enemies because he is a jerk to her. But eventually, because he befriends two close male friends of hers and steps into her inner friendship circle, they become friends. The vast majority of the book is spent with the two of them, in their internal dialogue, longing for each other from a distance, while Tyler immolates himself on the altar of his self-chosen, degrading subjugation to his amoral ex.
Frankly, I got really tired of Tyler's doormat attitude, especially knowing that his entire emotional and moral dilemma could have been eliminated if he'd simply had a DNA test on baby Charlie immediately after his birth. I began skimming about a third of the way into the novel, which is quite redundant. All I needed to do to keep up with the story was pay attention to the first few sentences of each chapter, and it was basically always the same: Tyler and Maggie eternally longing for each other from afar, other than a brief, one-night stand just past the middle of the book.
I obtained a copy of this novel from Hoopla, and I highly recommend, if you wish to read it, checking it out from the library.
