Paige Reyes did not want to be at the birthday party being given for an old college friend but was blackmailed into attending. What Paige really wanted was to give him a tongue lashing, and not think about her feelings for him any more. When the time comes for Shane to give out the gifts to his friends, Paige immediately takes off, after opening the bag with the keys to Shane’s cabin. He has to chase her down, and force her into a waiting limo, to talk.

Double Dare is the third book in Ms. Matthews’ Naughty Games series, and I found myself wondering how Shane was going to rectify his error in judgment with Paige. It is interesting to read about five people, who went through college together, and are still learning to accept the truth about each other. These two lovers go from arguing with each other, to very hot and heavy sex that leads to expressing the emotions that they’ve kept pinned up inside.

In this book, Ms. Matthews tells of a determination by the characters to continue a close bond that formed early on, the challenges they have had, and a desire to find true love. The story had me laughing at the stubbornness of both Shane and Paige, and both of them had the same wants without realizing it. This book can be read as a stand alone, but to get a better feel for the characters, you really must read all three.
