The Daredevil (Rivers Wilde, #3.5) by Dylan Allen ~ Book Review with Excerpt

 

You can’t PRY me out of Rivers Wilde. I’ve moved in and I’m STAYING. --Amelia Wilde, USA Today bestselling author

The Daredevil, an all-new must-read Rivers Wilde Novella from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Dylan Allen and 1,001 Dark Nights is available now!





From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Dylan Allen comes a new story in her Rivers Wilde series…

“I dare you to let me watch...”

It was the wickedest of propositions, made by the most devilish of men.

It doesn’t matter that Tyson Wilde has got a killer smile, wears a suit like it’s his job,
and oozes spine-tingling sex appeal. I should say no.
Because beneath the surface of that cool, disinterested exterior,
lies passion hot enough to burn. I danced too close to it once and have the scars to prove it.

So, on any other night, in any other city, and if he’d been even a fraction less mouthwatering,
I would have been able to resist.

But it’s my birthday, we’re in Paris, and it’s him.
I can’t say no.
I don’t want to say no.

And this time, no matter how right we feel together, I won’t let myself forget that when this weekend is over, we will be, too.
We’re only pretending to be lovers to land a deal.
Success will mean a promotion—one I want more than anything.
At least, that’s what I thought.

Falling in love was a danger neither Tyson or I saw coming.
And it will cost one of us everything.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt

I know she’s been going through a tough divorce, but I’ve never seen her anything other than energetic, snarky, or hyper focused at work. I don’t know what to do with an emotional crying Dina. So I do what I’d want if I was feeling bad enough to cry in front of someone. I wrap an arm around her and run a soothing hand over her back. She presses her face into my shoulder, and her hair tickles my cheek and my neck. It smells like fruit, and I want to bury my face in it. 

She pulls away and saves me from embarrassing myself. “I’m sorry I cried all over you. I’m fine,” she says in a weepy, small voice. 

I push her hair back from her face and smile. “It’s okay to cry. Even the strongest people need a soft place to land every once in a while.” 

“It’s the alcohol, I had too much,” she protests.

“I didn’t have enough,” I confess with a wry smile.

She pats my chest as if to console me. “Well, I’m glad because if you did, who would carry me upstairs to bed?”

“This house doesn’t have stairs,” I remind her with a laugh. 

“Then it’s your lucky day. This ass is as heavy as it looks.” She smiles and drops her head back onto my shoulder and closes her eyes. 

“Are you asleep?” I ask after a full minute of listening to her deep breathing.

“No, I’m smelling you.” 

My burst of surprised laughter jostles us both. “Smelling me?” 

“Mmm-hmm, I knew you’d smell this good.” 

“You’ve thought about the way I smell?” I ask, even though I shouldn’t. 

“Oh, yeah, but it’s much better than my imagination.” She presses the cold tip of her nose into my neck and sniffs loudly. “I’m mad I waited so long to do this,” she says. 

“How long have you been waiting?” 

She lifts her head from my shirt. Her eyes are still wet but aren’t sad as she looks up into my face with a light in her eyes that I’ve never seen before. “Since the first time I saw you.” 

“You’re drunk. You don’t mean it.” I laugh, but it’s thin and false. The air around us seems to thicken, and my eyes are riveted to that luscious, sweet, hot mouth of hers. 

“You know I do. And I know you want me, too. I’ve seen the way you watch me.”




3.5 Rivers Wilde Stars

This is my first read of the Rivers Wilde Series and also the first book I have read by Author Dylan Allen. I enjoyed the story but for me it started off a bit confusing I could tell there was a more of a past between Tyson and Dina but since I hadn't read the previous books in the series I didn't know about it, and while this story can be read as a standalone it took me a bit to figure things out.

Tyson Wilde has always wanted to run the family's company and started working for his mother as soon as he was allowed to, once he graduated college he became a full time employee and had his eyes on the prize. 

Dina Lu has worked for Wilde Foods and loves her position with the company, the only thing she would like more is Tyson Wilde to finally be hers.

Tyson and Dina had great chemistry there's no denying that whatsoever. I loved the way they were together once they got to that point. I enjoyed the secondary characters as well and I plan on going back and reading their stories. 

If you enjoy Interracial Romances, Office Romances, Second Chance Romances, Siblings Best Friend Romances, or Steamy Contemporary Romances I would recommend this book to you.

Happy Reading!!!
