I just want to let you all know the Henny "Hendrix" Dare is my boyfriend and no one else can have him...

Now that that is taken care of.. I devoured this book in 1 day

Wow... Dare you to Run by Ryan Marie was amazing, heartbreaking, funny, and to top it off spicy!

This book starts off with little Dagen McCallen not understanding why her mom must leave. The heartbreak she will carry with her from losing her mom. She also does not fully realize that she was given a gift of having such a strong, caring, and loving father, someone willing to preserve all the good memories she has of her mother. Fast forward and you have 21-year-old Dagen overhearing the heartbreaking story of her mother and her mother’s parents (if you want the full tea on what happens read The Pieces Left Behind). Dagen breaks after hearing this and leaves for Florida to confront her grandparents. On her way home there is an accident in Cattywump Bay, Mississippi. She meets Kinsley (her cornbread sister) who helps her out by getting her a tow to the local mechanic shop. That’s when she meets Henny and her life changes from there.
Dagen is such a strong woman, yes, she had an easy life with loving parents. She didn’t want for anything but she was not a spoiled brat, she helped out on her family’s ranch. So, she knows the definition of hard work. She has a found family full of Aunts and Uncles who would do anything for her (all her aunts and uncles’ stories can be found in the Magnolia Creek Series). Dagen does not back down from anyone and will stand up for herself.

Henny grew up in and out of foster homes, with parents who didn’t want him. A troubled child who just needed someone to love him. He found Malik and Dante who became the only family he needed. The Dare Brothers were formed and from there they all grew up to be well off men with troubled pasts. They did the most they could for the community that accepted them. Henny never wanted love, didn’t even know what love was.

Dagen and Henny had the hottest chemistry from the start. Both bickering back and forth with each other. Not wanting to admit that they wanted each other. But that all changed quickly, they fell for each other. The passion and the heat between these two had for each other was addictive.
