From Ella Frank’s Prime Time series and Brooke Blaine’s South Haven series comes an explosive spin-off of both worlds.

Sebastian “Bash” Vogel, the magnetic, cross-dressing CEO of AnaVoge, has long been a lone island when it comes to his personal life. Self-assured and playful, he’s never left wanting for suitors—but Bash isn’t looking for something permanent. He’s more than fulfilled with his company and his closest friends, and no one is going to shake up the status quo.

That is, until he’s thrown over the shoulder of one of Chicago’s finest and hauled out of a burning building.

Kieran Bailey, a sexy, hardworking lieutenant at Station 73, has been reaping the rewards of being crowned the city’s hottest fireman, which his crew never lets him forget. So many ladies, so little time. So when he rescues the latest damsel in distress, no one is more shocked than him to realize he’s played prince charming to another…prince.

But Bash isn’t like anyone Kieran has ever met, and soon his world is turned upside down as he becomes more intrigued by the enigmatic man that he can’t stay away from.

They’re from two different worlds. This could never work. But what if…they dared to try?

Dare You is book one of the Dare to Try trilogy, which must be read in order. Prior reading is not required, but is always a fantastic idea for maximum enjoyment.


OMG it is freakin'  FINALLY time for Bash! He has been teasing us for all of the South Haven books by Brooke Blaine. And then we get a bonus hot fireman Bailey brother from Ella Frank's Chicagoverse! Squeee!

Sebastian Vogel is a rich, CEO and tech mogul with flair and panache. He has his own eclectic sense of style and is unapologetically who he is. He keeps his private life private and the most important people to him are his best friends. 

Kieran Bailey is a Chicago firefighter who has lived his social life in the straight lane despite the fact that both his brothers are gay and in love. He is hot, charming, and brave.

But when he rescues a sequin and heel-clad Bash from a burning building, a spark flickers. And the more times they get together the more an unexpected attraction smolders and begins to ignite. 

But Kieran does not quite know what to do with his newfound interest. And Bash is not usually one to pursue men who identify as straight. And Bash is only in town for a short while and loves his South Haven home and friends. 

But if the fire gets too hot maybe one of them will get burned. 

I loved the dynamic between these two. They challenge and dare each other to step out of their comfort zones. Kieran has almost this sense of wonder over how fierce and fabulous Bash is. And his reaction to Bash just astounds him. And Bash knows he is playing with flirty fire but cannot seem to stop himself. They have a fun rapport and hot chemistry. And there is just this honest nature to their bond that does not make sense to either of them. 

I enjoyed being back in these worlds and loved all the cameos. All the men are back! I was sad to get to the last page and cannot wait for the next two.
