A review by myestorie
Only If You Dare by Stephanie Nicole Norris

3.0

Desiree Steven’s is fed up with work and contemplating moving back to her hometown. Her plans are halted when Julian Rose comes into town with a business proposal. Tragedy strikes and Desiree finds herself leaning on Julian for support.

Julian makes it his business to get close to Desiree. Her insecurities with men cause her to have brick wall around her heart. However, Julian is determined to knock that wall down.

Much like Claudia in book 2, Desiree has major daddy issues. Much like Jaden, Julian’s patience was commendable because Desiree’s back and forth got on my nerves. For her to be a journalist, her lack of communication skills made no sense.

Overall, the story was decent but the ending felt rushed. I would have liked to know more about the stalker and his motivation. Also, the scene with Desiree’s father was panned over too fast considering most of the story she is referencing her father’s disappearance. More depth on those issues would have been better. But on to book 4.
