Review: Challenge Accepted (Kensington Square) by Taryn Quinn


Challenge Accepted by Taryn Quinn is LIVE NOW!



It started with a kiss cam.
Ok, back up a teensy bit, it really started with a terrible blind date. You know, the kind that becomes the reason you drink a little too much and text your girlfriends with all the crappy details. The kind of night where you fling your bra across the room in disgust.

Well…this time, Presley Warren lost her bra for a whole different reason.

A dare.

A challenge if you will.

Because the man sitting beside her during the blind date from hell actually kinda became her Knight in Shining Armor—or in this case a rather delicious tight black shirt.

Kissing a stranger in front of a crowd of strangers had not been on her itinerary. Or going home with this exciting man for the wildest, hottest night she’d ever had.

But what happens when she finds out her super hot hookup is a millionaire who wants to change her life out of bed too?

Author note: Challenge Accepted was formerly published as Double Dare by Taryn Elliott and retooled to fit in with our Kensington Square world. It's a standalone novella with a happily ever after.

MY REVIEW

Presley's blind date isn't going well. The one bright spot is the gorgeous guy she met when she first got to the stadium. Too bad her blind date wasn't with him...but then he rescues her when the kiss cam flashes on them and her date brushes her away. Now she's about to go home with the man and let herself have fun for once in her overworked life. Will they be able to extend the sizzling connection they've forged, beyond tonight? If Vance has any say, they will.


Van's been sort of floundering since he sold his app for more money than most of us will ever see. Then he finds a connection with a beautiful woman at the stadium. Too bad she's on a date with a guy who isn't even paying attention to her. Luckily, his seats are near her and he's about to take advantage of the kiss cam because her date can't be bothered. But one taste of her has him wanting more, wanting everything. Will Presley accept him and the help he can bring? Or will his tendency to take over put her off?

Challenge Accepted is the perfect novella to read on Valentine's Day. It's sweet, mildly spicy, and Vance and Presley are absolutely adorable together. I perfectly understood her aversion to his kind of help, yet I also perfectly understood why he came in and sort of took over. It all worked out in the end after she got in the right headspace, though, and I was happily cheering for them.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
