I Dare You by Isla Stelmark is now live!
I never expected to find myself back in Calla Bay, my childhood hometown. Not after I was humiliated and made a fool of by my brother's best friend. Sebastian Devereux made me feel things I had never felt. I gave him everything only to find out it was all part of a dare.
Eleven years later, now my life that I had been so proud of in New York City was crumbling. I had lost my job and my friends. Worst of all, I had lost my sense of self. Taken from me by the person I thought was supposed to love me.
Back in my childhood bedroom, jobless and alone, was not on my life's bingo card, so when my brother Luke gets me a job working for none other than Sebastian Devereux, I'm in no position to say no. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
He can keep his dimpled smile and charming words. They don't affect me like they did when I was a naive eighteen year old.
If I have to keep repeating that to myself everyday like a mantra, reminding me not to let him get too close, then that's what I'll do. I fell for his charm once already, it would be stupid to do it again. So why do I find my heart opening up to the one person it never should.

MY REVIEW
The last place Lydia wants to be is back in her hometown, but she has no choice. Now she's here, dealing with the after effects of an abusive relationship, and has to work with her brother's best friend, Sebastian. After he broke her heart years before, why would she ever open herself back up to being hurt by him again? Except perhaps he's changed, just as she has.
At times heartbreaking, but always heartfelt, Lydia and Sebastian's journey is one of forgiveness, redemption, and love. Sebastian had come so far since the boy who broke her heart, and was just aching to show her he deserved a second chance to love her. Lydia had survived a horrible relationship, and had the bruises on her psyche to show for it, but she also had the strength that survivors have. Though it hurt for her to have to come back home under such circumstances, it brought her to Sebastian, to love. I haven't read the rest of this series, but I'm about to go download it now, thanks to having fallen in love with this world seen through Lydia and Sebastian's eyes.
