Ryan is determined to win his dare and pushes Beth to spend time with him. But Ryan won’t take a hint and leave her alone no matter how meanly she treats him. The last thing Beth wants to deal with is the pretty-boy jock who hit on her at the Taco Bell. He’ll turn on the Stone charm and show his friends that there isn’t a dare he can’t win. Then Groveton hometown boy-turned-famous baseball player Scott Fisk asks Ryan to show his niece – the Taco Bell Skater Girl – around her new school, and Ryan can’t believe his luck. He certainly never expects to get another chance. So when the sexy Skater Girl at the Taco Bell rebuffs his efforts to get her number and thus causes him to lose their latest challenge, Ryan is frustrated. And especially when it comes to the dares instigated by his best friends, Chris and Logan. As the member of a family that, for all outward appearances, seems perfect. Hating Scott and pretty much everyone on the planet, Beth moves to the small town of Groveton, leaving behind her only friends, Isaiah and Noah. Beth refuses to leave her mother to the mercy of Trent, but unless Beth agrees to go with him, Scott threatens to tell the police things that could send her mother in jail. After an altercation with her alcoholic mother’s abusive boyfriend, Trent, lands Beth in jail, her uncle Scott arrives to take her away from her completely dysfunctional life. While I did eventually warm to the girl, I have to say it was a long, rough road and not nearly as pleasurably traveled as the first book in this trilogy.īeth Risk is in a no-win situation.


I read Katie McGarry’s Dare You To right on the heels of the book that preceded it, Pushing the Limits, because I couldn’t figure out how in the world McGarry could turn such a bitchy character as Beth Fisk into someone that I could root for.
