Daring, clever, and gorgeous, Royce Viktorsson is a volcanologist who lives life on the edge between the thrill and the pulsing calm before the storm. His unsteady lifestyle masks the man who is seeking to heal the hole in his heart. Nothing has offered him resolve . . . until her.
The lightning that illuminates his soul.
The thunder that stirs his heart.
The lava that ignites his blood.
Thoughtful, alluring, and guarded, travel blogger Michelle Yates is emotionally unavailable thanks to the monster in her closet. Traveling allows her to see the beauty in the world, making her forget the ugliness in her life. One man yanks on that closet door and helps her claim back her self-worth.
The friend who becomes her lover.
The hero who defeats her monster.
The savior who defines her destiny.
As their romance churns, danger erupts, whipping out secrets that demand the truth, but the daredevil is willing to risk everything to defend those important to him.
The Daredevil is a friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, forced proximity, destined moments, billionaire hero, and a suspenseful contemporary romance. It is Book Two in the WaterFyre Rising series but can be read as a standalone.
Caution: This book contains sexual content, profanity, violence, mentions of suicide, and eating disorder. Recommended for 18+
Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 3 Purr heat index...
Hi Y’all! Come in and grab a seat while I tell you about this book I just read.
The title is the DareDevil by Nadia Han; it is book 2 in the Waterfyre Rising series. You don’t have to read in order, but it helps to understand the other characters a bit more, and I think we probably would have met Royce too.
The cover is ok and goes well with the title. Then I read the blurb and it really got my interest because daring, clever and gorgeous was enough.
Trigger Warnings: this does talk about eating disorders and also has mention of child trafficking and abduction (off page). If these are emotional triggers please skip this book, or proceed with caution.
Who’s my favorite main character?
Royce. I like a bad boy with a good heart and a bit of mystery to him.
The story has a couple settings. One is Iceland where Royce is dealing with an issue with one of his companies and Michelle is on a job. And New England where they both iced. I loved how this fit in the story. I liked how it tied in Adventure, the Daredevil aspect, friendship and their two homes. I would have loved to visit Iceland, especially the New You Beauty Resort. I love cool climates and it sounded like heaven. There were other gorgeous locations too. The story is a romantic suspense with a touch of mystery and adventure. There is a lot going on. Both characters have a plot following them that ties together as well. There is drama, suspense, beautiful locations, and even the sex scenes are good. So many twists!
What did I like best?
How fate seems to connect Michelle and Royce. First, they are friends from back home. Second, he saved her as a teen and they didn’t realize. And then she has his wish bottle he threw in the ocean. It’s all so romantic with all the suspense added in. I loved the ending. It was HEA and very beautiful. I loved how everything was so well tied up. I also like how it leads us into the next book.
How hot was the book?
Pretty hot! I give it 4 purrs, but it’s well done.
if you like Daredevils, millionares, sexy volcanologists, bloggers, friends to lovers, forced proximity (kind of) and fake relationships, this is for you.
