'A daring lass. An angry Scot.
And the happenings of a fateful day.
EMMA STEWART has been in love all her life. Unfortunately, the man of her heart has no clue that she even exists. And so, one fateful day, she agrees to a dare to steal a kiss.
His kiss.
One wintry morning, FINNEGAN MACDRUMMOND finds himself surprised by a lass he’s never noticed before. Quick as a fox, her lips capture his before she darts off into the forest. Taken with her courage, Finn pursues her only to learn that her kiss was nothing but a dare.
Will fear and disappointment keep them apart? Or does love truly conquer all?'

Dared & Kissed is a novella by Bree Wolf that was previously published as part of the multi-author anthology Winter Wishes. It has now been republished as a single novella and is part of Wolf's Love Second Chance series, set chronologically before books 13-16 in the series, which tell the stories of various members of Clan MacDrummond.
Dared & Kissed is a short novella about two characters that have been in love for seven years, but they're blind to their feelings for one another and so instead treat the other with animosity. It's a sweet story of two people coming together after years of keeping distance over a long ago misunderstanding. They needed a lot of help along the way to come to their senses as they struggle through heavy doses of both stubbornness and fear of rejection.
With it being a novella, you don't feel the same level of connection with the main characters that you do in Bree Wolf's full length books. But, if like me, you have read the books about Clan MacDrummond then you will already be familiar with and feel more of a connection with Finn and Emma.
I recommend the Love's Second Chance series, including the novella of Dared & Kissed to those that enjoy historical romances with a guaranteed HEA. All books in the series can serve as stand-alones, but are interconnected, therefore you could just as easily start with the novella.

I enjoyed reading this short romantic holiday read. Bree focused on the two main characters Finn and Emma. I liked how the writer talk with their closes friends to work out the confusion of being in love. I like that the couples really didn’t have other people standing in their way as they tried to figure out their love for each other. I enjoyed the sweetness of the couple. I voluntary reviewed this ARC after receiving a free gifted copy

This is a short novella that tells the beginning of the love story for Finn and Emma, who are secondary characters in other Bree Wolf books. The novella may be short but is a fun read. Enjoy!
