Review: Funny and sweet addition to The Bet Series

Four stars for The Dare, book three in The Bet series.  I have read and enjoyed the previous two books in this series and was expecting to enjoy this was as well.  And while I did like The Dare, it doesn't come close to being as good as The Bet.I almost felt like this was Grandma's book instead of Jace and Beth's.  And while grandma is very funny, she's best taken in small doses and was a bit overdone in this book.  I laughed certainly but some of the jokes seemed a bit more forced in this book than the previous two.  Rachel's writing is good as always and definitely kept me turning the pages.  I also thought she did a good job of making these characters different than her previous books which added a new spin to this book.  Beth is much more shy and innocent than Kacey or Char and Jace is almost a mix of Travis and Jake, making him kinda perfect.Overall, I do recommend this book if you've enjoyed the series.  We get to see Travis and Kacey, Char and Jake which is nice.  I believe there is going to be one more book in the series with another couple though I'm not sure who that will be yet.  This is very enjoyable and the parts that get emotional regarding Beth and Jace's past are done really well, I just wish there had been a little more to that part of the story.
