Cheris doesn't do spontaneous. She doesn't do one night stands. She most
certainly doesn't do eloping with a man she just met. But apparently,
she did. She woke up married and she doesn't even remember the event!
Cheris is the type of woman that doesn't dream of that sort of thing.
She feels that she doesn't belong in the kind of life that Geoff lives.
He's got a great family, somewhat well off, and Cheris sees that as
beyond her reach. She grew up a fairly rough life, and has bettered
herself. I really liked Cheris' character. She is honest, a good person,
and tries to live her live as best she can considering her past. She
and Geoff are perfect together, she just doesn't know it yet. The whole
town sees it, but it takes Cheris much longer to warm up to her husband.
Geoff is irresistible. He's charming, sweet, funny, and all of the
characteristics a romantic wants to find in a hero. His whirlwind
marriage to Cheris was interesting. He seemed so unusually calm about it
all that it made me wonder.
The characters in this novel are memorable. I loved Geoff's family. His
sister Janie, who is actually friends with Cheris, and speaks highly of
her. Geoff's mother and father are great, especially his mother.
Everyone is ecstatic that Geoff has found someone and settled down. If
only they knew the truth.
Double Dog Dare is a sweet and funny contemporary story. I
enjoyed it very much and had many opportunities to smile and laugh. If
you love a heartwarming story about falling in love, Then I dare you --
double dog dare you even, to get yourself a copy of this great book.
