Fearless had so many things going for it, I just knew that I was going to adore it.
And adore it I did.
We met Dare Davis in the first book of this series, Reckless. Though the story from Reckless does carry through to Fearless, you can jump in at Fearless and understand it all.
Dare and Noah had a relationship that ended 15 years ago - and not in a good way. Now their worlds have crashed back together, and things are about to get interesting.
There is no denying the spark between them, even if they don't want it, try to deny it, push it away when it raises it's head.
I LOVED that they did not jump straight back into bed with each other. There were too many emotions, too much hurt to allow that. There is a slow, smouldering burn between them, the reader can feel the heat between them leap off the page.
And you just know that if they do get their act together, it is going to be explosive!
But doe they? For that you will need to read for yourself.
Fearless had a little more oomph than the first book. I felt that I connected with the characters a little better than the first book (probably that I knew the characters better this time around) and their story drew me in a big more than the first one.
Fearless really hit the spot when I read it. I have been on a run of darker, ugly cry book so this light, sexy, sassy and fun book was just what the doctor ordered!

Fearless Excerpt © Nicole Edwards 2016
Getting out of that cabin was the only option Dare had. That or he was going to strip Noah naked and ride him until the sun came up. Or vice versa. He didn’t really care which. Okay, yes, he did, but now was not the time for that. He needed to gather his thoughts.
Plus, he needed to return Roan’s key and let him know that he wouldn’t need a place to crash after all.
Then he needed to find food.
God, he was starving. He hadn’t eaten much at the reception because he’d been too nervous. But even if he had, he would still be hungry. That was how he rolled.
By the time they emerged from their cabin, it seemed most of the other cruise-goers had called it a night. The halls were deserted, as was the main deck, where they ended up after making a quick pass through the casino and then deciding against any more gambling for the evening. As it was, the wager between them was steep enough. Dare knew he didn’t have anything else to bet.
So he settled for pizza and soda, which they devoured outside.
For the next hour, they walked around, close but not too close. When he yawned for the third time, Noah suggested they head back, and Dare reluctantly agreed.
He was edgy, he couldn’t deny that. Although they were alone out here—for the most part—being alone in their cabin was decidedly different. No one could happen upon them in there, which meant their clothes could fall off. And then he could… What if he tripped and his dick slipped right into Noah’s mouth? That could be awkward.
Well, the last part wasn’t too bad of an idea, provided it didn’t result in any damage to his dick.
However, that wasn’t going to happen tonight. Not on purpose and not by accident.
