About this listen
Can 10 dares help Melinda loosen up, conquer stress, and find love? Or will they push her over the edge?
Melinda Spencer had everything, but now her life has fallen apart. Her two best friends, Mikey and Joanie, are worried. Melinda’s been acting even more highly strung than usual. They decide to stage an intervention. Something to help her lighten up and take her mind off things: 10 crazy dares. After all, they say laughter is the best medicine.
Never one to squelch on a dare, Melinda accepts her challenge. The dares look simple enough: knock on a door and run away, tend her lady garden, flash a stranger...and if it gets Joanie and Mikey off her back about loosening up, it’ll be worth it. But with a sexy vet, a troublesome ex, and a village full of nutters hot on her trail, has Melinda finally bitten off more than she can chew?
10 Dares is a hilarious romp about a strung-out single mum trying to hold everything together when life is throwing her lemons as curve balls. This stand-alone romantic comedy has a happy ending and no cliff-hanger and can also be enjoyed as part of The Power of Ten Series.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

So when I decided to entertain my drunken self by setting up some hand-me-down podcasting equipment and reading the steamy parts from romance novels, I never thought anyone would actually listen.

But sometimes life surprises you, and that’s how my podcast, Heidi’s Discount Erotica, was born. Now I, Heidi Larsen, a sweet former kindergarten teacher in Waconia, Minnesota, lead a scandalous double life.

Hilarious
I liked this one much better than the previous book. Melinda gets a taste of her own medicine in this one, and some of it's not so tasty! She did luck out with Toby. because she really tortured him and he kept coming back for more-until he didn't!! I liked seeing Melinda navigate the ins and outs and highs and lows of love. Loads of laughs and steam along the way. i look forward to the next book. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this story and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.

ten funny dares
This story is also in book form. The narrator did a great job with the story. She brought the story to life for me. I enjoyed listening to this book. The story was quite funny at times. Melinda is a single mother to four kids. Melinda does ten dares to loosen her up. While she doing these dares she meets her Viking king.
I was given a complimentary copy from the author. This is my honest unbiased opinion.

Excellent funny excellent funny and funny!
10 dares is about a book booth they have Melinda the single mother of four and Joanie and Mike her best friends. After they claim she interfered with their life which resulted in both of them being in successful relationships. They now have 10 dares for her to do their embarrassing and meant to loosen her up. I think after being thrown up on by a mastiff and then heading throw up go in her mouth and front the heart doctor is enough embarrassment for one lifetime. In any event the day is must be done and she does them with dignity class and grace… Not really but they’re done and they’re funny. I have looked for all the books by Emily James and the only one I can fine is 10 dates the first one I read and series. I cannot get enough from thisauthor. She is one you would binge on, but alas I cannot I will wait for the next book. She is hilarious the narrator makes the words come alive in a way only certain narrators can do she is a professional, brilliant and very very funny. I love series. So Emily James if you’re reading this review how are you doing? And please get the riding the next book I am anxiously waiting as I’m sure a lot of us are.

I can’t remember the last time I have laughed so hard or related to characters so much! Ever feel like anything that can go wrong, will? If yes, these books are for you! I loved every single second. So many moments where I couldn’t decide between laughing or being embarrassed for them! Definitely must listens and so far my top pick for 2020!

AMAZING book!
I loved this book as much as the first one. It was unbelievably hilarious and the characters were fantastic. It was great seeing the characters from the first book again. The dares were so funny that they made Melinda do! I enjoyed the romance between Melinda and Tobey. Great writing by Emily and fantastic narration by Kim. Highly recommend!

A fun and clean RomCom with an amazing narrator
I am new to author Emily James and I haven't been disappointed with this series.
Melinda is a strong woman just doing her best while struggling to keep things together for her kids after her divorce. In this 2nd book it's now Melinda's turn for 10 dares that are created by her best friends. The dares are fun and full of surprises that really made me want to hug and laugh with Melinda and her friends.
Emily James is great at building the characters so you come to love everything about them and it's easy to feel like they are real. I enjoyed this book a lot and can't wait to listen to the third book. If you are looking for a fun, funny and clean romantic read, this is the series for you!
(this book can be a standalone as well)
This is the second book in the series of THE POWER OF TEN.

Loved it
Everything about this book was a little too much, but in the end, I didn't care. If the female lead blew too hot and cold, (which I typically don't care for), in the end, I didn't care. If the gay character was written as a stereotype, in the end, I didn't care. If I wondered why on earth the male lead was attracted to the female lead, in the end, I didn't care. If the comedic antics were a bit too much, in the end, I didn't care. If at times I couldn't understand the narrator, in the end, I didn't care. I was completely charmed by the male lead, I actually laughed out loud a few times, and came close to crying once or twice. For me, that means the story is a keeper!
10 Dates is an audiobook I will listen to over and over. Emily James is now an author I will follow! Cannot wait to listen to the rest of the books in this series.
