DARE TO LOVE: Truth And Dare Duet Collection Kindle Edition

by Lylah James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 488 ratings
A gripping, heart-wrenching and slow burn enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance.

What happens when a dare goes too far?

Maddox Coulter. Reckless bad boy. Infamous playboy. He was my nemesis, then my best friend.

Maddox promised to always be there for me. I vowed I'd never leave him.

We teetered over the line of love and obsession for many years. The irresistible attraction between us became more - it burned us and we laid in the ashes of our mistakes. Our relationship was something precious and we fought, we bled... and we fell deeper into this game of love.

We were never meant to cross path in the first place, because Maddox held a secret that would be the cause of our ruination.

But maybe it was kismet...

Truth or Dare?

Truth: He loved me. I loved him. But it was never simple.
Dare: I dare you to read our story. Nothing is what it seems to be.

DARE TO LOVE is the complete TRUTH AND DARE DUET collection and a never seen before Christmas Novella.TW: This story deals with sensitive themes like miscarriages and post-partum depression. If you find yourself uncomfortable reading such material, please proceed with caution.

Review

"An angst-filled top read of 2020! This book left me breathless!" - Giana Darling, USA bestselling author."This book consumed me. Like sucked me in and swallowed me whole. I couldn't put it down. Adulting didn't happen. I devoured it in one sitting." - Queen Of The Books, Reviewer."Lylah did an outstanding job with these two! The banter, the longing, the angst at the end... she pulled at my heartstrings left and right but also made things so incredibly hot throughout the book and this is a freaking slow slow burn." - Bookish Aurora, Reviewer."Lylah James shook my world. Do You Dare consumed me completely and I couldn't tear myself away from this read. Lila, Maddox and their explosive hate/love relationship took control of my life and I couldn't think of anything else but how their story would unfold. This book is so addictive that you can forget about adulting until you finish, I'm not kidding." - Little Steamy Reads, Reviewer"This is a really slow burn book, but the kind of slow burn that you are going to definitely love!" -Books and Mood, Reviewer"It was my first time reading Lylah James and she totally hooked me on this story! Lila and Maddox's relationship is complex, beautiful, intense and poignant!" - Book Maniac Forever, Reviewer."Do You Dare is brilliant, so beautifully written, unputdownable, and oh so addicting! This bully, enemies to lovers romance will keep you turning the pages!" - Chatterbooks Book Blog, Reviewer."The characters are flawed, realistic and their development is such a joy to read. I also absolutely loved how Maddox and Lila's relationship evolved." - Chloe Reads, Reviewer."Lylah owned me with this book. Mind, body, and soul. I was and still am so consumed by this story and these characters. I will be in a hangover for a looooong, loooooong time after finishing this story." - Pretty Little Book Blog, Reviewer."I probably ended up highlighting the whole book because I swear, the banter, the sweet nothings, and the taunts gave me constant goosebumps." - Island Queen Reads, Reviewer.

    The amazingness of the Truth and Dare duet plus a bonus novella, all in one book!!! Lila and Maddox's story is a MUST read!!!

    Do You Dare book 1
    So Do You Dare? is the first book I read by Lylah James and obviously it won't be my last because this was book 1 of duet.....and I can't freaking wait for book 2!!!

    This is an enemies to friends to best friends story. Lila and Maddox hated each other from their first meeting. He was nothing but an a$$hole to her. She retaliated with pranks. Along the way they saw the sides of each other that others didn't see. The pain, the hurts, all the feelings they hid. I absolutely loved watching their friendship grow. A friendship that grew into a slow burn and oh my when they ignited, it was off the charts hot!!!

    I Dare You book 2
    Oh. My. God I Dare You is EPIC!!! It's is an A-MAZ-ING rollercoaster ride complete with twists and turns, angst and raw emotions. Gah!! Maddox and Lila's story is so well thought out and just perfect. It grabbed me from the start and didn't let me go, even after I finished.

    Lila and Maddox
    Oh. My. God. What a freaking gift Lila and Maddox is. It is a novella set 10 years into the their future. They have their hands full with 5 kids, the youngest being 6 weeks old. Lila is a mess, she is struggling big time and Maddox sees that. He fights for her, for them. I swooned hard over the way he took care of her and I cried over the pain Lila was in. Lylah James has a true gift. This is a novella yet it is packed with some much emotion and detail. True love is real and Christmas miracles happen!!

    This book is everything!!! I read the original book back in 2019 when it first came out. Then as soon as this came out, I grabbed the ebook but never got around to reading it. I loveeeee Maddox and Lila! I think about them time to time and remembered I had this and needed to re-read it.

    The bonus materials are amazing!!! Anytime we can get more Maddox and Lila I’ll take it. Originally I wanted to read this because truth or dare in a book is my favorite!! I love their back and forth soooo much! This book is absolutely amazing! All the bonus chapters were everything!!! I’m so glad I re-read this!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020
    (Dare to Love contains the Truth and Dare duet: Do You Dare? I Dare You AND a bonus novella.)

    Lylah James has a true talent when it comes to her writing. Her books are dark, light and every shade in between. In Dare To Love, Lylah has woven an intricate story of love full of highs and lows, characters that are flawed, and with angst that is determined to tear Maddox & Lila apart.

    ***It’s okay to break down, it’s okay when life gets messy and don’t pretend that you’re okay.***

    Maddox & Lila are first introduced in the Truth or Dare Duet. They have come a long way to get their own happily ever after. Years have passed and still their love flourishes in the bonus novella, and seeing Maddox do just about everything to make his beloved happy. It was bittersweet to see getting to see more of them with their children. Being able to see into the lives of two individuals who have gone through so much, the good, the bad and the ugly. And seeing them get the happy ending they both truly deserved.

    ***I want every piece of you. The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.***

    I’m reading a couple books and needed a break from them. I stumbled upon this one and ended up binge reading this set!

    First off, Maddox is officially on my list of book boyfriends lol
    1) Mason Kade (Fallen Crest series)
    2) Clinton Clark (Play with me)
    3) Zepp Hunt (No Prince)
    4) Maddox Coulter

    This is about Lila and Maddox. Alike but different. They start off ass ‘enemies’, then friends, best friends, then lovers. It’s a slow process but it helps get wrapped up in their love.

    The second book ALMOST made me cry from being heartbroken. I felt for Maddox when he’s falling apart.

    The Christmas novella was just the right amount of sweet closure I needed.

    Give this book a try, you might end up falling in love with Maddox too ;)

    Lylah James – Dare to Love duet – What a brilliant masterpiece!

    It all started that one fateful day in the café, two people on opposite sides, colliding, there existence acknowledged through a heated exchange, from that moment forward they found a way into each other’s lives, lives that were never meant to cross.

    Maddox and Lila, there lives fractured, one by life itself, and one through tragedy

    They were enemies – they hated each other, which turned into tormenting one another, all fun and games, each pitting themselves against the other, seeing who would come out on top

    To friends – were there for each other through there own pain and nightmares, daring each other through promises, each vowing never to leave the other, developing a sort of mutual respect, supporting each other academically

    To lovers – There love was an obsession, there attraction, irresistible, there is always the inevitable and it was reckless, gripping and heart wrenching, it consumed them from the inside out, the love between these characters is visceral, full of pure and raw emotion, of passion, pain, anger, hurt, loss, rejection, understanding, acceptance and love

    Sometimes dares go beyond the norm
    Those dares become something else, something more

    Lila, beautifully damaged, perfectly broken, perfectly made for him, because she was his, of that there was no doubt, his strong, brave, beautiful girl.

    Maddox and Lila, show each other what they truly see, two lost souls destined to come together, to release the guilt that has consumed there past. They are the darkness and they are the lightness that they both need.

    Denying there attraction to one another was hard, there intimacy takes you by surprise, it is so unexpected, the suppression, the angst, it was seductive, sensual, suspenseful, but when they came together it was electrifying. The way they loved each other, there love burned, there passion exceeding, soul destroying, raw, they desired each other above all else.

    The secrets, the lies, the twists, the turns lead to the inevitable, the truth. Each of their stories was raw and sensual, as it was powerful and confronting. There love for each other heartbreakingly beautiful. It was fast paced and thrilling, it made my heart race and soar to unfathomable heights. The need to see there growing attraction, the lust and fear, to own and dominate, retaliate, to take control, god it was hot.

    If I could have read it in one sitting I would have. I had no choice but to savour it, and it was worth it. Since I picked this story up I could not put this book down, I was hooked from the very first chapter right up until the last. Such a roller coaster of emotions, a page turner, fast paced you literally will not be able to put it down. This author clearly knows how to write, she’ll clearly have you saying what the f@#$. Readers will be ensnared from the get go, me I’ll definitely come back for more from this author for sure!

    The different points of view told a telling story, the character development, the themes that were explored, especially the complex, yet intricate family dynamics, all connected very well, it made it so easy for the reader to totally immerse themselves, to get lost in the entirety of the story, it was absolutely breathtaking.

    And those s€x scenes (Paris especially!) in and out of the bedroom were absolutely daring, filthy, provocative, possessive, controlling, oh so steamy, deliciously wicked, dirty, hot, beautiful, dark, sensually erotic, naughty, raw, powerful, passionate, wet, dominating and wild.

    The time jump(s) into there happily ever after as a family, of there life, loves, tragedies and triumphs, being there for each other now, like they were in the beginning, there love infinite, there desires and delectable appetites for each other still burning strong, is what any reader would wish for. I wish there story didn’t end!

    I don’t know where to start and I thought if I could just read a couple of chapters in I’ll be able to continue it the next day but nooo I literally read this duet till it finished at at 4am. I haven’t come across a really good book in ages and let’s just say that this one really really hit the mark for me. If I could go and reread this duet again just to keep giving it more stars I would. I’m a sucker for YA to adulthood and Maddox and Lila is those characters you just love to enjoy.
