Once Upon A Dare Blog TOUR/Giveaway!

The first night was a dare. The second night was trouble…

Advertising guru Olivia Masterson is all work and no play. But on the eve of earning her dream promotion, her best friend dares her to drop her ice queen façade for one night and seduce a sexy stranger. Olivia's worked her ass off to get where she is-why the hell not?

Cole Bennett never thought he'd run into his feisty one-night stand at the office, furious that he stole her promotion. No matter how hard she tries to ice him out, they can't seem to keep their hands to themselves...or their clothes on.

Olivia's talented-maybe even more than Cole-so when his dropped hints to the boss net her a promotion of her own, he's ready to celebrate...until she accuses him of fueling office rumors that she slept her way to the top. She wants to earn her own way? Fine. So what the hell does a guy have to do to permanently melt an ice queen?

I love listening to music when I write, although sometimes I get distracted and find myself singing along which isn’t exactly productive. You can ask my husband. He’s been an unfortunate witness to many of my off-key concertos.

But, even with the distraction, I can’t resist rocking out a little in front of the computer. Yes, there are dance moves and they’re about as awesome as my singing. Aren’t you glad this isn’t a vlog?

Since I have zero musical talent, I have to rely on the pros to create a soundtrack for the stories in my head. Below is my perfect soundtrack for Cole and Olivia’s enemies-to-lovers love story!

I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift: We all have our bad boy moments and Olivia’s no exception. Too bad she’ll have to face hers in the office Monday morning.

Make Out by Rixton: Really, do I even need to explain? No names, no numbers, just right now. And kissing. Lots and lots of kissing.

Animals by Maroon 5: ‘It's like we can't stop we're enemies. But we get along when I'm inside you’. This pretty much sums up Cole and Olivia’s ‘I-hate-you-but-I-want-to-fuck-your-brains-out-itis’ predicament.

You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC: Nod to the classic tunes of Supernatural (because no playlist would be complete without a Supernatural reference) and well, it’s got the right vibe since Cole and Olivia can’t seem to keep their clothes on!

Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects: Secret sex buddies NEVER stay secret. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Dark Horse by Katy Perry: Olivia is the one Cole never saw coming. Their relationship is the definition of a perfect storm and his plans to keep things strictly physical won’t last long…

Stay With Me by Sam Smith: Bye-bye one night stand, hello true love. Cole had three rules and Olivia broke them all, slipping past his defenses to discover the man beneath.

Diamonds by Rihanna: New love. Old love. First love. Love should always feel like THIS! → ‘You’re a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy. When you hold me, I’m alive.’

The Heart Wants What It Wants by Selena Gomez: Ain’t that the truth?

Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding: ‘Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find.
Only you can set my heart on fire.’ Best. Line. Ever. And isn’t this what love is all about?
