In this laugh-out-loud funny workplace romance, former childhood frenemies Hunter James and Abbie Collins are forced to
work together when Hunter is hired to consult on a major project at the
advertising firm where Abbie works. What Abbie doesn't know is that Hunter has secretly been in love with her for years, and he plans to seize this opportunity to win her heart. He has a lot to make up for because of the way he treated Abbie in the past, however, and she certainly won't give into him without a fight.
There were a lot of things about this story I really enjoyed (Rupert the cat and his antagonistic relationship with Hunter was hilarious!), but there were also parts of it I found to be pretty over the top. For example, I had a difficult time imagining that Abbie, a professional woman who was trying to convince her boss to promote her, would actually tackle someone in the office, no matter her past relationship with that person. Abbie was also frequently insubordinate in the way she spoke to her boss, plus it seemed like every third sentence she uttered was some variation of threatening to murder or throat punch someone. I can't say that Abbie's feelings weren't justified because in a lot of cases I totally understood where she was coming from, but even so, I couldn't help but think she may have benefited from some anger management courses to learn how to express those feelings more constructively.
Overall, "Nothing But a Dare" was an entertaining read and I would recommend it for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans. I look forward to Molly O'Hare's next release.

About "Nothing But a Dare"
Nothing But a Dare is a second chance, enemies to lovers rom-com with a curvy, will punch you in the throat heroine, and a hero that will push every button she has for fun. Oh, and did I mention there's a cat that wears turtleneck sweaters?
After what could possibly be the world's worst morning, the last thing Abbie expected to see as she walked into her meeting was her childhood nemesis.
Hunter. Freaking. James.
The title of world's worst morning now seemed like an understatement.
When Abbie walked into the conference room looking like a complete mess, and still killed her presentation, Hunter knew he'd made the right decision signing on with WCM Advertising. He was there for one reason, and one reason only. Abbie was going to be his, even if he had to dare her every step of the way.
Game on.
