Description
This enemies-to-lovers Regency romance by Charlie Lane, shows what happens when sparks fly between a flirty second son of a duke and an inventor’s daughter.
She’s risen like a Cinderella.
He’s more charming than any prince.
They shouldn’t be together, but fate can’t resist.
A new year and a new Season means a new Lillian Clarke. She’s transformed herself from wallflower to incomparable. But she’s no Cinderella. She’s washed her hands of love and of Lord Devon, her own charming prince who barely knew she existed. She’d rather be the fairy godmother, helping invisible debutantes gain the attention they deserve on the marriage mart. But even though she’s booted Lord Devon from her heart, he’s not done with her. His sudden appearance at her home and inexplicable teasing threaten to distract her from her debutante dreams.
Lord Devon, the second son of duke, has put self-pity and scandal behind him and found a new purpose. He’ll invent a machine that improves coffee, buy a coffeehouse, and be a self-made man. He’s determined to be more than the heir’s spare, privileged but kept in case of emergency. Unfortunately, he needs the assistance of Miss Clarke’s brilliant father. And he hates Lillian Clarke for speaking the truth about him. The delectable woman thinks she’s better than him. He’ll teach her she’s not. If he can ignore the way her courage makes him smile.
When sparks in the workshop fly, Lillian and Devon invent a passion that’s more than they bargained for and complicate their paths to happily ever after.

Kiss or Dare by Charlie Lane is the third book in the Debutante Dares series. Although the book can be read as a stand-alone I do recommend that you read the first two in the series as it is a great way to meet the other characters in the story. But this is definitely the love story of Lillian Clarke and Lord Devon. The story starts with them as frenemies. Lillian has a crush on Lord Devon and sees the potential he seems determined to destroy, but a mysterious letter seems to turn him around, helps him find a purpose.
Fast forward some months and Lord Devon is apprenticing with Lillian’s father who is an inventor. Teasing and banter are just a precursor to the sparks that fly between the characters. Sparks that fly and eventually get them more entangled then they had anticipated. Both have dreams that they want accomplish and they strike a bargain to make it happen. Lillian always sees the potential in Lord Devon and with her love and guidance and a great talk with his brother, he begins to see it as well.
What I loved about this book is that they build a relationship together, with some hiccups, but they come to realize the value that they each have individually and together. I loved the banter between Lillian and Devon and I loved the relationships between the other characters. Lillian’s parents were wonderful and entertaining. Devon’s brother was great as are Lillian’s best friends who were introduced in the earlier books. I recommend this book and the others in the series. They are all entertaining reads.
I received a NetGalley ARC of Kiss or Dare by Charlie Lane and read the book voluntarily.
