An Easy Dare by Rosalie Rosseaux

About the book
Cat loved Gabe from the time she was five years old. She thought it would be easy: fall in love with your childhood sweetheart, get married and live happily ever after. But as the years go on, the fairy tale soon falls apart. At twenty, Gabe – penniless, unable to find work, and drinking himself into a bad reputation – leaves New Orleans, believing that Cat is better off without him.

She doesn’t hear from him for three years.

Not until her bachelorette party, when he sends her a $400 bottle of Champagne the night before she’s set to marry Cort Belrose, a wealthy restaurateur that Gabe despises.

It seems the past three years have treated Gabe well. He’s now mysteriously wealthy and the picture of a perfect Southern gentleman – a gentleman who is quietly seeking vengeance on the man who forced him out of the city and stole the woman he loved.

With Gabe’s return, the sweltering heat of New Orleans becomes even more stifling as Cat struggles with the truth about her malicious husband and her consuming lifelong love for the vengeful and troubled Gabe.

Brandie's Thoughts:
I had never heard of this book, but I will admit that as soon as I read the synopsis - I immediately went to Amazon and purchased it!  This sounds SO good and like something that is right up my alley.  I love books about an old love coming back into the picture, and even better is a book with some mystery and suspense!  This sounds completely different than anything I've read lately and I'm anxious to read it!

Crystal's Thoughts:
OOHHH!  I want to know why Gabe left the city so bad!!  I love that Gabe and Cat have known each other for years, but I can't lie the mystery behind this really caught my attention.  I am really loving this type of book lately and with the added suspense added in I am totally sold!  Plus I want to know what Gabe has been up to for the past 3 years!  Also as a side note I love New Orleans so I am really going to enjoy reading about places I have been =)
