Review: Down and Dirty – Christine Bell

He was a dare she’d never been able to resist…

Cat Thomas has never been the kind of girl to stick. A self-professed infatuation junky, she latches on the newest, hottest guy on the block, then finds a reason—real or imagined—to dump him. When she accepts a dare to rekindle her high school flame and jump in bed with her brother’s best friend, Shane Decker, she knows she’s in trouble. She can’t resist the man, even after all these years apart, and that just won’t do.

Shane has come back to town for a couple reasons. The biggest one? He’s tired of living away from those he loves, including Cat. But now she’s spooked and will do anything to drive a wedge between them, including trying to fix him up with other women through an online dating service.

What does he have to do to make her see that settling down doesn’t mean settling, and he’s ready to spend a lifetime proving it?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This book is a continuation in the Dare Me series. I started it first and got a little confused at the mention of things that happened in Down for the Count,so for me I had to read it first. I would recommend reading them in order. It’s Galen and Lacey’s story.

Down and Dirty is Cat and Shane’s story. Cat is determined to stay single and uninhibited by love and romance. She is an ambitious young woman who is ready for adventure all the time. She loves to take risks, and never backs down. But she has one flaw, she is terrified of loosing herself, to someone else’s life and plans.

Shane is Galen’s best friend during high school. Shane took over the job of being Cat’s bodyguard and protector after her brother, Galen, went off to college. One night things went a little to far between Cat and Shane. He backed off after remembering his promise to her brother. After high school Shane left Rhode Island for work, and now he is ready to return home to see if Cat has grown up enough to handle a serious relationship.
There is romance,drama and lots of hot sexy scenes. definitely a great quick read.
