TRUTH OR DARE

Is he into me? Is he just playing games?

Falling in love is never easy, but there’s nothing like it to keep you on your toes. There are no rules to romance — and usually the only way to get a little is to take the plunge.

Here are four original stories about four bold women who risk it all to win at the unpredictable game of love.

"After being a writer for a soap opera, Bailey Madison wants to be taken seriously. She is writing a book, but to afford the time needed to write and the credibility to get it published, she has taken a job ghostwriting a biography for a very rich, and very eccentric man, Franklin Dent. But who should be at the Dent mansion when she arrives but Noah Morrissey, the man who walked out of her life without so much as a look back. Truth Or Dare is hilarious from the first pratfall to big game hunting in Africa. Ms. Kauffman has a firm grasp on romance as well as a dynamite sense of humor. She is also the author of the military romance, Carried Away." ~ Romance Book Cafe

"What does it really take to succeed in love these days? Authors Erin McCarthy, Alesia Holiday, Donna Kaufman, and Beverly Brandt tackle the question in this lighthearted, romantic anthology about modern love. No question, the women in these stories are all running low on “happily ever after.” But each woman ultimately takes a chance on love. Tansey enters a contest requiring her to live in a car with three other people, including a dashing carpenter. Bailey Madison conquers some major fears — jumping out of a plane, big-game hunting — before giving her ex a second chance. Madison Case, whose marriage lasted only six months, gains more than insight when she works as an assistant at Rules of Engagement. And an advice columnist, who looks and acts like one of the guys, finally follows her own advice. Getting back in the game was never so entertaining." ~ Ginger Curwen, The Barnes & Noble Review

"Former soap opera writer Bailey Madison and filmmaker Noah Morrissey had once been involved in a hot affair. But like any hot flame, it eventually flickered out. Now they have been hired by a billionaire to write and record his life story. Bailey resents Noah’s presence, especially when he apparently wants to pick up where they left off.

Noah has never forgotten Bailey, and while he understands her resentment, he has a job to do also. It doesn’t help that they’re thrown together by the billionaire. Working closely together, Noah’s and Bailey’s libidos are soon cranking into high gear. Is it enough to rekindle their romance?

Sparkling humor highlights Truth or Dare. Bailey needs the job and sees Noah as an interloper she wasn’t expecting when she got the job. It doesn’t help that she’s still attracted to him. For Noah, their affair was hot and fast, and he never really got to know Bailey. Now he’s learning what makes her tick. Donna Kauffman combines a sizzling romance with tender scenes that results in a deliciously fun tale." ~ Romance Reviews Today
