Title: The Dare
Series: Rystani Warrior
Author: Susan Kearney
Designation: Book Two of Series, Full-length Standalone Novel, NO Cliffhanger, HEA
My Rating: Five Riveting Stars*****
Last year, I received a promotion email from, I believe, Book Bub for a free ebook from Amazon entitled The Challenge by Susan Kearney. (Yes, this is actually a review for The Dare, not The Challenge, but just bear with me while I give a little history.) After reading some of the negative reviews, I was somewhat hesitant to invest my time into reading this novel and even more reluctant since Susan Kearney was a new author for me. It was difficult to make an informed decision since I had no experience with her previous work but the book was offered as a free download and I've always been a sucker for a free read, especially when it involves romance and science fiction. I was also quite intrigued after reading several of the comments from reviewers so I took the plunge and I'm so happy I did. I'm not a professional reviewer but I know what I like and what I don't... and I really liked it...a lot! I raced back to Amazon and purchased The Dare, the second book of the series. I have my own little checklist to rate books and obviously, it's different from other reviewers. I base my opinions/reviews on a combination of factors including originality, world building, scene depictions, plot and character development, craftsmanship, grammar, editing and cover art but the foremost element for me is how well the book holds my interest, how it affects me emotionally, and whether I actually enjoy what I'm reading. Did it make me smile? Did it make me laugh? Did it make me angry? Did it make me sad? Did it make me cry? Was I satisfied? Was I entertained? And the answer to every question is an emphatic yes! Now fast forward almost a year later and as it sometimes does, life happened and I realized I'd lost track of The Dare until a few days ago when I found it on my ereader. I liked The Challenge so much that I immediately remembered the book and its storyline. Now, I have to admit, I very much enjoyed The Challenge, the first book of the Rystani Warrior Series by Susan Kearney but I loved, loved, loved Book Two, The Dare. The Challenge was certainly good but The Dare is truly great! When I love a book, I'm able to tune out the world, all interruptions and immerse myself completely in the adventure and the world created by the author. And this story grabbed me right out of the gate, held my undivided attention and completely captured my heart. Additionally, I was impressed with Kearney's boundless imagination and remarkable creativity as well as her exceptional language and world building skills. Kearney's imagination is literally off the charts and she did a fabulous job of executing her vision for this story into a well developed and well-crafted novel. The narrative was skillfully written in the third person with multiple points of view but the two primary perspectives were from the two protagonists, handsome courageous Rystani Warrior Zical and Dora, a character who started life as a sentient computer but became a human woman in this story by transferring her consciousness into an artificially lab-grown body. (Remember, this is science fiction and takes place in the future.) The dialogue was smart, snappy, well executed and flowed effortlessly. The characters were well developed, captivating, engaging, sexy and at times, quite humorous. I found myself immediately drawn into this story by the two protagonists. I was completely captivated by Zical and Dora when they were introduced in the first book and was so excited to learn they would have their own story. I became completely smitten with these two unlikely lovers, a man who discovers he actually fell in love with a woman when she was only the voice for an artificial intelligence with self-awareness, a computer albeit a smart sexy one, and a computer who sees herself as female and discovers she has actual emotions and falls in love with a human Rystani male warrior. You can't get much more unlikely than that. I found myself empathizing with them, crying for them, cheering for them and urging them on, all the while hoping for them to find their happy ending. Some folks may feel this to be a wee bit far-fetched but hey, this is futuristic science fiction where anything and everything is possible. Heck, I don't have to be transported 300 years into the future to believe in the impossible. (We learn in the first book that the events of the story take place 300 hundred years in the future.) Things I thought impossible 50 years ago now exist. I can only imagine how my great grandparents would react to the luxuries we now see as everyday necessities, like cell phones and computers. Twenty years ago, who in the world would have ever dreamed there would be at least one computer in every household, if not several? I didn't. In several reviews for the first book, comments were made about the body suits featured in this series which were manufactured by a now extinct advanced alien civilization. I felt they were a unique and imaginative addition to the story. The suits were completely adaptable, always providing an endless element of fascination and wonder for me. So yes, I found them acceptable in the context of this story. If I can accept the possibility of traveling through time to an alien spaceship 300 years in the future to participate in a Challenge to save an alien planet, I can certainly accept and appreciate reading about a very advanced space age body suit that can function as clothing and body armor, providing protection from weapons, physical violence, heat, cold and even adjust for gravity, and controlled by the mind of the wearer. And yes, they take care of every need of the wearer including personal hygiene, body waste disposal, maintaining proper body temperature and even adjust for sex and normal bathing when desired. One reviewer criticized the author by commenting on the impossibility of having sex while wearing the suit but if we're truthful, I'm sure most of us have had sex at some point in our life while still wearing our clothes. I've found that people can become quite creative when sex is part of the equation. And FYI, Zical and Dora have lots of steamy sex in this story. Sigh.... SO dreamy! lol... And these suits were designed to adapt for any and all situations. I truly enjoyed the author's vision for this series and found it to be fresh and original. It was a beautiful and heartwarming love story that truly tugged on my heartstrings. Actually, that's an understatement, because at one point I sobbed liked a baby. If you love imaginative well-crafted science fiction with exceptional world building filled to the brim with vividly depicted details and descriptions, a riveting plot, captivating characters, heart-pounding danger, heart-wrenching angst, heartwarming romance and steamy, dreamy sex, then you will love this book. Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it... so much so that I raced back to Amazon and purchased the third and fourth books of the series! Would I recommend this book? You bet and I am but only for adult readers! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! I think I just answered that! I'm very eager to get started on the next book in this series. Was there anything I didn't like about the book? Actually, no. I loved everything! There were a few minor grammatical mistakes but nothing that distracted me from the story. And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my seat, riveted to my ereader with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the pages flew as quickly as the time! I will conclude my review by saying, if you love heart-pounding danger, heart-stopping adventure, spine-tingling suspense, imaginative and intelligently written science fiction with wonderful worlds and clever gadgets, courageous dominant alpha male heroes, sassy, resourceful and very brave female heroines, steamy passion and dreamy romance, then you will most assuredly enjoy this series. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

The Dare Susan Kearney 9780765351920 Books Reviews

ENJOYED every word. Susan Kearney has a gift, with her words and bringing her character s to life. Will enjoy more in the future.
This series is Amazing!, the Men Fierce and Handsome, the Women Clever and Intelligent, the Adventure, AWSOME!
I actually enjoyed this book more than the first. While the whole computer thing was far fetched, it was still fun. I liked Dora`s personality. I liked that she didn't just cave to Zical. I liked that he was willing to adapt. The story line was interesting. I wonder what will happen next....
Dora and Zical make a great couple. If you enjoy futuristic romance books you will like this book and the series. I enjoyed Susan Kearney's Rystani series. In fact you could say I love the series and have reread the books many times. Each book stands alone, however reading them in order show how the characters grow from book to book, as well as introducing new characters. This is one of my favorite series. I bought the books years ago when they were first published, and now am buying them as ebooks for my kindle.
What's not to like about book? It has a computer giving herself a human body for a man, sex that leads to more psy ability, a space ship and crew ready to give their lives to complete the mission, an ending that is nothing but good and so much more in this book. It belongs on you new super
Dupper shelf.
Theila
If you love to read romantic science fiction and want it to not end, then this series by Susan Kearney might just fit the request. I read this series years ago when it first came out and when I went to reread it, I could not find the books in my keepers. So, I just repurchased them. Well-written, exciting, the whole series is worth reading again and again.
My fav character is back, Dora the Computer! Dora has been attracted to Zical forever, to the extent that she is making herself a body to slip into and become human. In the meantime Zical is mountain climbing and stumbles into a Perceptive One ancient stronghold. This sets off a recall to the Sentinels; a machine that is protecting the Federation from a most fearsome enemy, The Zinn. Now Zical and his crew have to travel into deep hyperspace to set the Sentinels mainframes to go back and protect. The roadblocks encountered are spectacular, the relationship between Dora and Zical is intense and you'll absolutely adore the stowaway Kirek.
