Bash and Kieran’s happy ending is everything I wanted

TruthOrDare AMAZON Truth or Dare by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine

Oh well that was all ends up smexy and full of loving.

Ella and Brooke pulled out all the stops for this concluding part to what’s been a really enjoyable series from the two and – finally! – a happy ending for the wonder that is Sebastian Vogel aka Bash.

I’ve loved Bash since he first arrived in Brooke’s excellent South Haven series and it was obvious he was going to need someone special. Enter Kieran Bailey.

I have to say, I’d not seen it coming but over the last two books, they’ve proved beyond any doubt that they are utterly perfect together.

This book wraps things up beautifully with some awesomely hot sex, some beautiful conversations and lots of fun times with the rest of the Baileys and with Bash’s bunch of friends on the island.

The series as a whole has been one of my favourites from the pair and I’m intrigued by the two new characters/series’ that they’ve introduced in this final chapter and which will be coming from them individually later on.

Absolutely fabulous middle entry in this delightful series from Ella and Brooke

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gah, it’s a good job there’s only a month before the final book comes out because I’m already suffering from Bash and Keiran withdrawal symptoms.

I absolutely loved this instalment as Bash makes up for the seriously crappy way he ghosted Keiran at the end of book one.

It’s steamy, of course, but it’s also super sweet and has lots of wonderful conversation as both men come to the realisation that this is it.

They need to go big or go home and Keiran really doesn’t want to do that and Bash isn’t happy about letting him out of his sight either.

I think the narrative has worked really well to show how much Bash has knocked Keiran’s world off its axis.

It’s more than just a case of of experimentation though, everything about this relationship with Bash is new, but the most important part is that Keiran’s found someone he wants to hold on to.

That’s been the strength of the two books so far for me. Ella and Brooke have put in the groundwork for everything that Keiran goes through.

He’s blindsided by Bash but it’s more than just sexual, he’s attracted to each element of his character and wants more.

With the (little bit) conveniently discovered potential relocation available for Keiran at a fire house not that far from the island, I’m looking forward to seeing how these two compromise on how to move into the rest of their lives together.

Oh, and how the rest of Keiran’s family reacts to him potentially upping sticks 😁

**No good can come from one night with a gorgeous stranger.**

Dylan has one rule: Never, ever, sleep with his guests at The Changing Tides. He learned that lesson the hard way. When he finds out the enticing stranger he brought to his bed is actually a guest, Dylan tries to tear himself away. But Dylan yearns for more and is tempted to break his one rule—again and again and again.

Cole didn’t expect to end up in bed with a delicious stranger his first night in town. When that stranger turns out to be the owner of The Changing Tides? That’s a complication. Because Cole has a secret. He’s the mastermind behind the new resort coming to town—the one that could put the town’s favorite inn out of business.

A hunger this strong must be sated, and they’re helpless to resist. As they give in, something deeper—a piece that’s been missing—slots into place. But when a secret is exposed, it has the power to destroy everything they’ve worked for—including the love they’ve discovered.

The rising tide brings storms…

Harris Brewer has seen it all – and cut it open. As a cardiac surgeon, he’s used to challenges, used to surprises. But when he’s slapped with a high-profile malpractice suit the last thing he expects is to get shipped off to a tiny Oregon town to ‘let the lawyers handle it.’ Then he sees a big blond hunk jogging down the street and realizes that maybe a hot vacation fling is just what the doctor ordered…

The rising tide brings change…

Never get involved with a tourist. That’s been Reid Colburn’s policy and it’s served him well. They come, bring their money, and leave. That’s good enough for his restaurant business – and his heart. But this new guy in town, he’s something else. Reid can’t deny enjoying the relentless flirting. Too bad Dr. Stud is just passing through…

The rising tide erodes the past…

Despite being careful to avoid it, Reid finds himself on the brink of falling in love. They both knew this was a temporary thing, so why does it hurt so bad when Harris going back to Los Angeles becomes the inevitable reality? Maybe Reid shouldn’t be fighting against the tide. Maybe he should just ride this stormy affair to wherever it leads…

Kent knows love doesn’t last. After Linc left without saying goodbye, Kent resolved never to fall in love again. When Linc shows up at his clinic looking more gorgeous than ever, Kent is determined to keep his distance. But his heart has other ideas—it never fell out of love in the first place.

Back in each other’s arms, their love burns hotter than ever before. When secrets threaten to tear them apart, Kent has to decide whether it’s something they can mend… or if he’s better off alone.
