Lady Boudicca is a spinster, the eldest of four sisters and she’s quite happy with her future plans for independence until her sisters dare each other to marry dukes. She’ll go along with the dare just to prove to them that she’s not made for love. But when she bumps into a handsome albeit arrogant duke and ends up dancing with him, she doesn’t expect him to show up at her house the next day. And the next. And the next.
Wesley, Duke of Baskim, rejects every woman he’s crossed paths with. But then his friends take charge of his love life in one of their notorious bets. So when he bumps into a gorgeous albeit strong-willed woman at a ball, he has to follow through on the bet. Despite how difficult she’s being, he has to win this bet.
The first in a new series & a very well written delightful romance. I loved both Wesley & Bodi. They were so well matched & were only ‘seeing’ each other for him to win a bet & for her to win a dare with her sisters until they weren’t. I loved how they fell for each other, they talked, they had witty banter & they were mature. Boy did she make him jump through hoops, flowers, chocolates & a gift! The chemistry sizzled & they were perfect for each other. I can’t wait for the next three books

A steamy & romantic novella! I really enjoyed this one. It had great MMCs, a wonderful group of sisters and a fun plot.

Highly recommend!

One bet and dare puts two headstrong, clever intelligent people who have a penchant to win at all costs together on a spiraling journey of love.

Bodi and Wesley are destined to be together. They are so well matched, and the dialogue and challenges were just fitting to the storyline. I really liked how they talked and respected each other. Cannot wait for the next 3 pairs to fall.

I am very impressed with the family of girls, named after female warriors who all specialize in weapons training. I also didn't know a single thing about fencing, but I feel like I got an education on it by reading this book. Bodi and Wesley were truly a great couple. She made him work for everything, and good for her. This was one hot book that also made me cry. Good job, excellent all around.
Thank you to netgalley for the gift of this book. Opinions are my own.

The pace of this book moved quickly introducing us to Wesley's friend group and Boudicca's exciting sisters. Wesley makes some questionable decisions and their courting scenes were hilarious with both of them trying their best to sabotage the experience and ensure no true feelings developed through their courtship. Boudicca and all of her sisters live up to their warrior namesakes by practicing fighting and live just outside of the rules of what is considered proper.
This book moved me to tears; watching Boudicca get to have her moment of triumph over society and over the men who think themselves better than her was powerful and exciting.
I look forward to seeing the sisters get their stories in the future!
