“The best thing would be not to engage. Engaging gave him ammunition, and the guy already had enough on me. I didn’t trust him. I didn’t necessarily like him, either, even if he did save my life last night.”Summer, the time to let loose and have fun. And for Annie McFarland, the time away at summer camp will be an excellent chance for her to make friends and live a little. As a sheltered young teen, Annie mostly lives in her literary world of books and so when she goes off to summer camp, Annie never expected that a little game of truth or dare would have her falling in love with the camp’s bad boy counselor.
After getting in troubles, Jacob Fazio’s father decides that it would be best if Jake does volunteer work at a his uncle’s summer camp. There Jake would be one of the camp counselors. He is well aware of the bad boy stigma that is associated with him but in all honesty, he is a kindhearted soul that is dealing with issues from his past. And so when he meets Annie, he is intrigued by her and also that she has kind of blackmailed him into teaching her how to swim. As Jake and Annie begin to get close, sparks of attraction and friendship begins to deepen. Will Annie and Jake find themselves sinking or swimming when it comes to summer romance?
“I felt like he could never take our relationship seriously, if he couldn’t admit to anyone that we were together. And that hurt. Everything else about our relationship was perfect. Laughing with him, telling each other stories, comparing our likes and dislikes. Kissing him. Lots and lots of kissing… He was always so patient with me. And so sweet. I was the totally inept, inexperienced girlfriend and he never complained. Ever. He could. He probably should. But he never did. ”Daring The Bad Boy is your quintessential sweet and innocent summer teen romance. With a few little angst and drama thrown into the mix, Monica Murphy serves a cute and lovely teen romance of a young girl discovering her first teen love with the reformed bad boy. They say opposites attract and so if you are looking for a lovely and sweet read, then this book is for you.
