Actor Morgan Hawke has an odd relationship with Hollywood mogul Dan Blake.  Although Morgan is in an open marriage, Dan wants more since their relationship hasn't changed much in three years.  But, Dan is manipulative and Morgan is confused.  Will either of these two guys be able to make a long-term commitment?Like the characters he writes, Dan has learned to manipulate situations to get the outcome he wants.  Morgan doesn't fall for his games, though.  Honestly, Dan is a difficult character to like because he possesses two different personalities.  Plus, he is hot and cold with Morgan.  But, Dan is the broken sort of character that I always fall for.Morgan is easier to like, even if he used Dan early in their relationship.  Also, Morgan is married to woman, even if their relationship is open, and he genuinely cares for her.  So, Morgan has issues of his own he brings to his relationship with Dan.The plot is the steamy hot / ice cold relationship between Dan and Morgan.  The pacing is moderately fast where the story features continuous character growth and development.  Even though I didn't necessarily like either character, I felt an emotional attachment to both Dan and Morgan.  Luckily, the story ends in a way both characters are redeemed.Taking the Dare is a completely different type of love story.  The two main characters both have many personal issues and confused.  I adored the moral of the story in which love comes in a multitude of packages, none of which are "normal".  If the reader can get past the strange characters, the story is sure to grab the reader's attention and keep the pages turning.BookingIt Grade:  B+
