The Dare (The Bet #3)
by Rachel Van Dyken
From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken, comes
the third and final book in the New York Time's Bestselling Bet Series...
Boring Beth Lynn has always lived up to her nickname... until she wakes up in a hotel bed next to a sexy as sin state senator she re-connected with at a wedding the previous night.
The biggest problem? She can't seem to remember anything about the night before except for crying into a box of cookies, and she's pretty sure Grandma Nadine slipped something in her drink. And what should have been a one night stand turns into a six day adventure when Grandma whisks them off to Hawaii to save them from the ensuing media firestorm.
Jace isn't looking for commitment -- he believes he made that clear when he left the wedding with Beth. Then again, he can't remember much of anything other than the way her skin felt beneath his hands. Now he's stuck with her at some lame couple's retreat and trying his hardest to fight the attraction only a woman like Beth could invoke.
He doesn't think it can get any worse.
But one spider attack... A donkey ride from hell... And an unfortunate episode with Viagra tea -- and there's one thing Jace knows for sure: He should never have agreed to Grandma Nadine's suggestion in the first place.
Because if this isn't paradise, and it isn't a vacation -- that only leaves one option.
Survival.
But to make it through alive... they might lose their hearts in the process.

The #1 New York Times bestseller...
"I have a proposition for you." Kacey should have run
the minute those words left Seattle millionaire Jake Titus's mouth. It's been
years since Kacey's seen her childhood friend Jake, but the minute Jake
mentions his ill grandmother, Kacey is ready to do anything for the sweet old
woman. And if that means pretending they're engaged for her sake-so be it.
But Kacey wasn't counting on Jake's older brother Travis still being there. She calls him "Satan" for a reason: she's never forgotten the way he teased and taunted her. Yet when they meet again, Travis's gorgeous smile is a direct hit to her heart . . . and Kacey's more confused than ever. As the days pass, only one thing starts to become alarmingly clear-she never should have accepted Jake's deal ...

The Wager
From the author of the #1 New
York Times bestseller, THE BET
THE WAGER
Lose a bet, lose your heart...
What is it about a junior-high crush that can send an otherwise intelligent woman into a tailspin? TV reporter Char Lynn wishes she knew. Jake Titus is too rich, too handsome, too arrogant: a trifecta that once lured Char into the best night-and worst morning-after-of her life. Now they've been thrown together in a wedding party. It's awkward, but survivable . . . until Jake stops acting like a jerk, and starts acting like the man she'd always hoped he could be.
If watching your brother marry your best friend is weird, being attracted to your best friend's other best friend is downright bizarre. Unfortunately for Jake, Char hasn't forgotten how he once tossed her aside. Worse still, Jake's already-nutty grandma is even crazier about Char. Cue meet-cute shenanigans and all manner of meddling, and somehow, Jake's falling. For Char. Now all he has to do is make her believe it . . .

My rating: 3 of 5 starsThis was a fun read , but I felt it was a little rushed.
Kacey was a great character , we meet her in The prologue when her, Jake and Travis are kids . They all grew up together. Throughout their childhood , Travis is the one who always does pranks to her, Jake is the one who is always there to protect her .
That all changes one night she is dealt with the blow of losing her parents and her best friend Jake . Jake because he does the most stupid thing any guy can do .
Jake , Playboy, cocky and conceited, He has no remorse For how he treated Kacey . He thinks throughout the book that he can be "perfectly happy having a wife with a mistress on the side.” I wanted to slap him so many times .
Travis I loved how he was in this story , he was the boy who always had a crush on Kacey , but never acted on it until they were adults . He always picked on her when they were kids, but he did it because he was nervous to be anything else with her because of his stutter when he tried to talk to her.
“Because of you, Kace. Everything I do, everything I’ve done in my life, it’s all because of you.”
The Boys Grandmother , I LOVED this woman, she was soo funny , her plotting to get Travis and Kacey together was awesome .
Book Blurb:
"I have a proposition for you..."
Kacey should have run the minute those words left Seattle millionaire Jake Titus's mouth. Instead, she made a deal with the devil in hopes of putting her past behind her once and for all.
Four days.
She could do four days!
But she wasn't counting on Jake’s older brother Travis being there to witness their farce of an engagement.
One thing is for certain.
One brother is right for her.
One wants a lifetime.
And one is in league with the devil.
She should have gotten Jake’s signature in blood.
So why only 3 stars , well this book is based on Jake making a proposition to Kacey , because he needs to prove to his family that he can be a responsible adult and take over the family business. So he enlists Kacey to be his "fake Fiancee" for the weekend to prove that he is responsible and can settle down from his playboy ways . The thing is we never see Jake get caught for lying , We never get to find out what happens with him and the family business. I would of thought that would of been in this book, but it was not.
We start out the story with the reasons for the proposition , but then we get steered toward a romance between Travis and Kacey , and Jake and his problems with the business are totally gone .
There will be a sequel to this one , Hopefully Jake will meet his match and someone will straighten out is cocky A** .
Here is the Epilogue: http://www.rachelvandyken.com/2013/04... ( don't know why it was not in the book but there it is )
There is no cliffhanger here at all .
