Like I said with the review for the first book， this series dragged out。 I understand what Maya Hughes was trying to accomplish but， I don't know， this one felt just as stuffed with filler storylines and details as the first book and so it took some of the enjoyment out of it。 I liked the idea of Bay and Dare reconnecting and finding their way back， but overall I don't know if I love how it was executed。 Still liked Bay， Dare was a bit of a stage five clinger， but I don't know I still felt compe Like I said with the review for the first book， this series dragged out。 I understand what Maya Hughes was trying to accomplish but， I don't know， this one felt just as stuffed with filler storylines and details as the first book and so it took some of the enjoyment out of it。 I liked the idea of Bay and Dare reconnecting and finding their way back， but overall I don't know if I love how it was executed。 Still liked Bay， Dare was a bit of a stage five clinger， but I don't know I still felt compelled to finish it？ And then we get another cliffy and so OBVIOUSLY I moved on to book 3。 At this point I had invested enough time in the series I needed to know the resolution but honestly， it didn't need to come to this。 Long story short， if you read book one， I know you'll feel the need to read this one and I understand。 Just be ready to invest another few hours once you finish to read the final book。 。。。more

Bay sucksThe first book started off making me want to read the second book but the second book has me wondering if I should continue on to the third book。 The big turn off was the main female character， Bay。 She has no empathy for poor Dare and his long history of being abused and starved by his dad along with the fact that his mom died in childbirth。 I'm guessing that in book three， they will live happily ever after but I don't see how the author will write this into some kind of believable exi Bay sucksThe first book started off making me want to read the second book but the second book has me wondering if I should continue on to the third book。 The big turn off was the main female character， Bay。 She has no empathy for poor Dare and his long history of being abused and starved by his dad along with the fact that his mom died in childbirth。 I'm guessing that in book three， they will live happily ever after but I don't see how the author will write this into some kind of believable existence， especially， since learning that in book three， they've been apart for 6 more years （they've only been together for a 3 or 4 months， total！）。 I'm hoping Dare， will find someone else that truly loves him， with understanding and care and not use him to get over their fears， a la Bay style， then just walk away。 Fat chance， I know but a girl could keep wishing。 I read another review that said she was glad Bay had gotten everything she wanted but was still unhappy， so， there's that， LOL！ 。。。more

With the sequel to Bay and Dare Keyton's story comes more heartbreak， love， angst， and sexual tension。 They're reunited years later and the character growth was front-stage in this one as we see a whole new side to Bay as she sets out to achieve her dreams and ambitions while balancing a new fledgling relationship with Dare that comes with its own share of emotions and life-changing decisions。 Maya balanced their sinfully hot kisses with slow yet steady character and relationship growth before s With the sequel to Bay and Dare Keyton's story comes more heartbreak， love， angst， and sexual tension。 They're reunited years later and the character growth was front-stage in this one as we see a whole new side to Bay as she sets out to achieve her dreams and ambitions while balancing a new fledgling relationship with Dare that comes with its own share of emotions and life-changing decisions。 Maya balanced their sinfully hot kisses with slow yet steady character and relationship growth before shattering our hearts at the very end， again！ 。。。more

Alrighty so this book takes place four years after book 1 The Art of Falling For You and it's worth reading in order but probably not 100% necessary。 Both characters have graduated college， and our heroine is working a summer job at her university where the LA Lions have their training camp。 Our hero just got drafted to the LA Lions and is trying to make a name for himself while dealing with the aftermath of years of abuse from his father。 Both characters are there for six weeks， and this book i Alrighty so this book takes place four years after book 1 The Art of Falling For You and it's worth reading in order but probably not 100% necessary。 Both characters have graduated college， and our heroine is working a summer job at her university where the LA Lions have their training camp。 Our hero just got drafted to the LA Lions and is trying to make a name for himself while dealing with the aftermath of years of abuse from his father。 Both characters are there for six weeks， and this book is the snapshot of that time。 （Book 3 takes place six years after this one。）I thought everything about this book was better than book 1。 The writing was smoother， the characters more mature， the plotting more complex。 There are NO FLASHBACKS！One of my favorite things about this series is that the tension between the hero and heroine doesn't rely on miscommunication or assumptions。 The conflicts between our hero and heroine are genuine and based on what the characters actually want， who they are during this span of their relationship， and what they've dealt with in the past。 It's complicated， and gritty， and felt very honest。 。。。more

Book-Challenge 2021: Book 26Wow， this was amazing！ A very good continuation of Dare/Keyton and Bay‘s story。 They seemed to make the same mistakes they made in the previous books， but （at least Bay） seemed to realize that this couldn’t work in such a way。I‘m rooting for them， I so do。 And I’m happy I can continue with the final book of the trilogy。 Another awesome read。 Love their story。

Dare & BayDon't even know what to say。 Bay was right in her feelings in high school when Dare flipped out and destroyed her dads guitar but fast forward four years later。 They meet up again at school where he is attending football camp and she is filling in as RA。 She starts out not wanting anything to do with him and then she sleeps with him and kicks him to the curb afterwards。 Then she needs him as a security blanket so she can sing in front of other people。 The ending had me so pissed off I Dare & BayDon't even know what to say。 Bay was right in her feelings in high school when Dare flipped out and destroyed her dads guitar but fast forward four years later。 They meet up again at school where he is attending football camp and she is filling in as RA。 She starts out not wanting anything to do with him and then she sleeps with him and kicks him to the curb afterwards。 Then she needs him as a security blanket so she can sing in front of other people。 The ending had me so pissed off I got a headache。 。。。more

Good continuation of the story… but leaves so much unanswered。 Thank goodness the 3rd book is out！ I would be cursing right now if it wasn’t。 This one was pretty uneventful， for the most part。 It was mostly a transitional book to reconnect the main characters and show what they had been up to since they were last together。 It was great that Knox showed up， Dare desperately needed someone in his corner。 It’s obvious that they care about each other but Dare needs to let go of feeling that he doesn Good continuation of the story… but leaves so much unanswered。 Thank goodness the 3rd book is out！ I would be cursing right now if it wasn’t。 This one was pretty uneventful， for the most part。 It was mostly a transitional book to reconnect the main characters and show what they had been up to since they were last together。 It was great that Knox showed up， Dare desperately needed someone in his corner。 It’s obvious that they care about each other but Dare needs to let go of feeling that he doesn’t deserve to be loved。 Whether it’s by a woman， friends， or Knox and his parents。 The interactions between Dare and Bay were all over the place。 I understand why but they’re relationship is really messed up。 I felt like Bay was using Dare to get her music out there， and I felt that Dare was using Bay to remind him to keep his anger under control。 It worked for one but not the other， in fact， one of them was worse off， in my opinion which is why it ended the way it had to。 I have high hopes for the next book。 I’m looking forward to seeing how things work out because I always wish for a happy ending。 。。。more

Not fair to DareI love all of Maya’s FU books and characters。 I love these characters， but I don’t understand how Dare’s character played out。 There was a lot of things that shouldn’t have hurt him。 His reputation isn’t bad and he is a great football player。 What happens in the end didn’t sit right with me。 I love the story line and characters but there are things I disagree with that took place in Dare’s life。 Consequences that if everything was explained wouldn’t have been so， not in real life Not fair to DareI love all of Maya’s FU books and characters。 I love these characters， but I don’t understand how Dare’s character played out。 There was a lot of things that shouldn’t have hurt him。 His reputation isn’t bad and he is a great football player。 What happens in the end didn’t sit right with me。 I love the story line and characters but there are things I disagree with that took place in Dare’s life。 Consequences that if everything was explained wouldn’t have been so， not in real life and it should have been in the book。 End was not as good as the other books。 There was no Justification。 。。。more
