*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*Dare Me Forever is a good New Adult story, it has a strong heroine, a dishy Brit with a little love triangle/family drama thrown in. :)It started off really well, I liked Amy, she was a strong girl having to look after her brother from such a young age and consequently missing out on her own childhood. When Ryan appeared in her life, she was unsure whether to take a risk or not and ultimately following her heart. I liked Ryan but just wished we got to know him more for me to really love him.I didn't like Hunter from the start, he was a shady character and it's a credit to the author's writing that he came across as intended. He was meddling in Amy's life and playing on her good nature. I did want Amy to be stronger when it came to him, I could understand she had a weakness as he was her first love but I wanted her to take a stand and be the strong woman like she was at the beginning.For me the smexy scenes lacked some sizzling chemistry. I felt we missed out parts of the story as it happened 'behind the scenes' not that I'm obsessed with the smut ;) but Amy said she and Ryan shared a deep connection during their first night together but we didn't get to witness this first hand so I felt we missed out on feeling that connection with them.When I finished the story, I was left with the feeling of wanting more, I wanted parts of Amy and Ryan's relationship fleshed out and it moved a bit too fast for me in the end. I wanted to enjoy the development of Ryan and Amy's relationship to really connect with them.I did like Dare Me Forever, I liked the message behind it; of letting go and taking a chance on love. It was an easy read and I have discovered a new author. I recommend it to fans of New Adult.I received an unpublished version of this story and I believe the final copy has more content in it so I will re-read and update my review. ~Ava
