Truth or Dare by Ember Casey
Blurb:
After their passionate, heated weekend at the Cunningham estate, Lily and Calder have decided to take their relationship to the next level. But love in the real world isn’t all fun and games—especially when it becomes clear that Calder still harbors his share of secrets.
When Calder suggests they hold off on sex for a while, Lily knows something is seriously wrong—and she’s not afraid to pull out the big guns. She makes Calder a proposal he can’t refuse: an ongoing match of Truth or Dare that she hopes will bring them closer together both physically and emotionally.
But as the contest increases in intensity, so do the stakes, and suddenly Lily and Calder have to face the question they’ve both been avoiding: what sort of relationship do they have when they strip away all the games?
Review:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh Calder, I think Lily
really earned you in this book because I don’t know if I could have handled the
whiplash from your mood swings. I still
think you’re drool-worthy hot and I want you on my speed dial if I ever drink
too much... But man, you are a lot of
work!
In TRUTH OR DARE, Ember and
Calder have left the security of the Cunningham estate. Calder is dealing with the financial disaster
his dad left after his death and dreading the day the press discovers his
family is no longer financially secure.
Lily is back at work at the Center—busy trying to promote the new direction
the Center is going while also maintaining their regular art classes. More importantly, Lily and Calder are finally
going to try and take their relationship into the real world. But Calder still has secrets he’s keeping and
Lily isn’t quite ready to tell her dad about how she met Calder, much less that
she’s now dating him. When Lily starts
to worry that Calder is losing hope, she decides to go back to what they’re
good at. She suggests they play a game
of Truth or Dare—hoping the game will be both a distraction as well as a reminder
of how good they are together.
But games can’t go on
forever and at some point, Calder and Lily have to figure out if there is more
to their relationship than just games. I
thought TRUTH OR DARE was equal parts exhilarating and hair-pulling—I gave the
exhilarating parts 5 stars but ended up taking off half a star for the
hair-pulling (I think I might have a bald spot now)—so 4.5 stars. In HIS WICKED GAMES, I loved Calder’s
approach to the games and couldn’t get enough of his wicked side. But in TRUTH OR DARE, sometimes I just wanted
to throttle him and say—hey, just play it fair!
No bending the rules, no twisting words, just do it! Between that and me constantly stressing that
he was going to give up on Lily before they had a chance, I’m not sure who had
it worse—me or Lily. I mean, I was
really and truly stressed! I know he
said lots of amazing things to her that made me think she meant the world to
him, and sometimes just his reaction to things she said had me in full out
swoon, but his evasiveness and pulling away had me seriously worried he was on
the verge of calling it quits! What are
you doing to me, Ember Casey? All in all,
I thought TRUTH OR DARE was a great addition to Lily and Calder’s journey and I
hope there’s a lot more where that came from!
I’m just hoping Calder won’t have me in such a panic in the next
one!
