Daring the Bad Boy

Endless Summer, Book 1

By: Monica Murphy

Narrated by: Emily Ellet, Tim Paige

Annie McFarland is sick of being a shy nobody. A session at summer camp seems like the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself—gain some confidence, kiss a boy, be whoever she wants to be. A few days in, she's already set her sights on über-hottie Kyle. Too bad her fear of water keeps her away from the lake, where Kyle is always hanging out.

Jacob Fazio is at Camp Pine Ridge after one too many screw-ups. Junior counseling seems like punishment enough, but the rigid no-fraternizing-with-campers rules harsh his chill. When a night of Truth or Dare gets him roped into teaching Annie how to swim, she begs him to also teach her how to snag Kyle.

Late-night swim sessions turn into late-night kissing sessions . . . but there's more on the line than just their hearts. If they get caught, Jake's headed straight to juvie, but Annie's more than ready to dare him to reveal the truth.

Sweet listen

It’s a sweet listen, not what I’m used to from this author but overall a fairly quick and easy listen with good narration.

It was ok

Not what I expected it to be and not my usual listen. It was a cute story, kind of a coming of age. I initially picked it because I thought it would be a RomCom but there wasn't one chuckle. Pretty easy read if you need something easy.

cute teen camp romance

clean, fun teen camp romance, nice quick read. Funny at times. Voice actors were very good. Just enough drama without being over the top.

A kids summer love story

Heartwarming lightweight teenage love. It was entertaining to listen to. Makes you reminisce of your highschool crush :D

Cute story

It’s not my usual read, but I did enjoy it! Cute love story! Totally worth the read.
