About this listen

It was never meant to be more than a dare: A party game. A dare. A single kiss.

That’s all it took to flip my world upside down. I’ve always classified myself as straight, and as far as I can tell, so has he.

I didn’t think one kiss would change that, but I was so wrong.

Now, I can’t stop thinking about him. In all the ways I shouldn’t.

My best friend. Aspen.

His taste is branded in my memory, his touch seared in my skin.

And I want more. This simmering attraction I feel only grows with passing time. Which is why I start tossing out new dares. Riskier ones that toe lines we never thought we’d cross. I’m gambling with our friendship, knowing it could ruin us. But there’s so much more at stake here.

Like my heart.

Don't You Dare is a new adult college romance featuring two best friends, too many baseball puns, scorching dirty talk, and a whole lot of bi-curious exploration. It is intended for mature listeners.

Ce Ricci does it again

I want to start by saying the narrator's were prefect for the MCs. They did an amazing job being this story to life.
The story was very good. I enjoyed it and couldn't stop listening to it.
At one point it was very heartbreaking that I sat listening with my hand over my heart.
I'd definitely recommend listening and reading anything by this author.
I'm hoping Follow the River goes to audio next.

Amazing Friends to Lovers!

I read DYD back in the spring; and so of course, when I saw the audiobook release I absolutely had to have it. Liam & Zachary did a PHENOMENAL job of bringing Pen & Keene to life. Whether you’ve read DYD or this is your first reading/listening, your ears will thank you! Seriously, so so good!!

3.5 A Little Confusing at first and too long

Solid narrators. First, I want to start with who is who because it took me over 5 chapters and note taking to understand.

Aspen is also know as Pen. (This was the most confusing part.) I thought Aspen and Pen were two different people in the beginning. He is mostly called Pen. Pen is the artsy casual smoker. His hobby is taking photos but he goes to school for architecture.

Keene is the hot baseball player with dreams of going into the MBL. Keene will melt your heart.

As the summary says, the two best friends are dared to kiss each other in high school. Two years later Keene tells Pen that he has had feelings ever since, which makes him question his sexuality. Does Keene like guys or does he just like Pen?

Here is another confusing part: Pen decides to help Keene figure out his sexuality. Now at this point Pen is straight and doesn’t do relationships. I’m still confused on why a straight man would physically help his best friend explore his sexuality. (Giving BJs and having sex.) Maybe I missed something?

The love story was sweet; however, like most people said, it was a tad bit too long. The author shouldn’t shaved the last two hours of the story. The third act breakup was pointless. Some reviewers said this was steamy but it only had (maybe 3) spicy scenes. The rest of the spicy scenes were mentioned like “we spent the weekend having sex” with no description. This was very disappointing for me.

I’m on the fence on if I would recommend using an Audible credit for this book. If it was free then I’d recommend it but using and credit…IDK?!?!

So good

I love this one. The love between these two men were sweet and hottt. Friends to lovers/ Bi awakenings. Not the normal GFY. Some angst to keep it interesting of course and some very 🔥 sexy mm times. Well written...I have both audiobooks by CE Ricci and 5☆ for both. Please, Keep them coming !!
Narration? Holy Yes 5☆!!! I love Liams voices and acting. I became a fan of his in the Necessary Evil series ( amazing series if u like a little dark mm romance) And Zachary Johnson is a fairly new one for me..but well done sir! Bravo gentlemen you were a very sexy duo indeed!

Pen and keen!

I freaking love pen and keen! They are the ultimate couple goals! I read this book a while ago but was so excited to get the Audio book because it’s a whole other level when you hear them!

I adore Zachary and his adaptation of pen - 10/10 - its was 😘🤌🏼

I’m not a huge fan of Liam but it wasn’t too bad either. His emotional narration was a bit off for me but not enough to deter me from listening.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic! I enjoyed this book so much. Best friends to lovers. Bi-awakening. & steamy! I loved how perfect they were together as each others halves. They didn't just figure things out right away, they had to overcome obstacles and grow, but (thankfully) without too much angst. Highly recommend.

I freaking love this story

As a straight / cis woman yes I do enjoy reading mm romances, especially when one of both are struggling with or learning about their sexual identity. The exploration of it so fun and hot… in fiction books obviously! I know it’s unrealistic but this book was so fun and sexy and exactly what I wanted. I have re-read multiple times now. Performance was great too. If you’re looking for straight male friends to lovers this is the book for you. The beginning flirting scenes are especially good
