Another long-winded apology, which I’m not in the mood to read at the moment. Three dots appear, indicating she’s typing a response, but I already know what it will be. Actually, forget “as if.” She totally has. Summer answers instantly, as if she’s been sitting by her phone waiting for a report.

Her nametag reads “Stacy,” and I’m pretty sure she knows I’ve been ditched.Īs she walks off, I pick up my phone and shoot a quick text to my friend Summer. “Can I get you another coffee, hon?” The waitress, a curly-haired woman in a white-and-blue polyester uniform, eyes me sympathetically. No way am I flying back to it and subjecting myself to his overprotectiveness and terrible cooking again. Hastings is the small town I’m calling home for the next couple of years, but luckily, I don’t need to call my father’s house “home.” Dad and I might live in the same town, but before I transferred to Briar University, I made it clear I wouldn’t be moving in with him. I’m sitting in a booth at Della’s, the ’50s-themed diner in Hastings. Why the hell am I still at the restaurant?

I’m walking right out the door.Īt fifteen minutes, shame on me.

And if the inconsiderate ass is both ten minutes late and didn’t call? Thank you, next. Sometimes she screws you.Īt ten minutes, my patience would be running thin. I can forgive five minutes of tardiness.Īt seven minutes, I might still be somewhat receptive, especially if the lateness is accompanied by a heads-up call or text informing me he’s going to be late. Usually I’ll give guys a five-minute window. It falls less then short and it's redeeming qualities are minimal.Now, I’m not a total bitch. If I was giving advice, I would say read the first three books in the series and don't bother with the fourth. This book kinda ruined the whole Briar U series I had grown to love.

It's almost as if the author herself didn't believe a guy like Connor would go for our heroine and thus is written completely differently compared to the way she normally dictates her smoking, hot female leads and not in a good way. Taylor is patronised the entire book about the way she looks and having read this book straight after the other 3 books in the series, they as a couple lack chemistry, heat and plausibility because of it. The story was interesting enough, but the dynamic between Taylor and Connor was truly pathetic. There is really very little I liked about this final book. The Dare follows our leading playboy Connor and outcast sorority sister Taylor, as a Kappa House Dare slowly evolves into something more. Well.I think I spoke way too soon!! Elle threw all the praise I just sent her out the window with The Dare.
