The Keatyn Chronicles #3
Date Me
From USA Today, bestselling author Jillian Dodd comes the third book in the addictive Keatyn Chronicles series. Discover a breathless fairy-tale romance with swoon-worthy characters, suspense, and a glittering celebrity world. Fans of Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and reality TV will devour this pulse-pounding, sexy teen drama set against the backdrop of Hollywood and an East Coast boarding school.
Keatyn’s not scripting her life anymore. She’s living it. She’s done with the God of all Hotties and is going to give her heart to the boy who deserves it. The one whose kisses are hotter than molten lava, who offered her the key to his heart, and who asked her to Homecoming in a big, sexy way.
There are so many things to look forward to: parties at the Cave, Homecoming festivities, drama tryouts, and shopping trips to NYC. But things aren’t always as perfect as they seem. She finds out that her best friend has been keeping a secret from her. Not that she can blame him—she has secrets, too.
But, for now, she’s going to pretend she’s just a normal girl. She’s going to pretend the stalker’s not still out there, and that he’s not getting more desperate. She’s going to pretend she’ll never see him again. But, she will. And this time, she might not get away.

5 stars!
THESE BOOKS ARE LIKE CRACK TO ME! Seriously... I can’t get enough!
I love Keatyn and all her boys... I feel like a boy crazy book hussy while reading, but I’m okay with that!!! Not even sure where to start on this review, but I’ll start with the obvious... THE BOYS
GOD OF ALL HOTTIES:
Aiden... You used your god powers on me and now I am on your side! Aiden was pretty irresistible in this book. I loved him at the end of Stalk Me, during Kiss Me, not so much... Now this book- I love him again! I think everyone BUT Keatyn knew how Aiden felt about her. I just wish he would have made his feelings for her clearer earlier...
MR. GORGEOUS:
I don’t even know where to start with Dawson... I loved you so much, I was rooting for you, and you let me down. You don’t tell someone they own you and then make a crap decision like that... just saying. Maybe he can redeem himself down the line, maybe not. Only time will tell.
RILEY
My absolute FAVORITE! I just love Riley. I love how sweet and protective he is of Keatyn. I love that he calls her baby, is always there for her and always takes her side. I especially loved
My favorite Riley line:
Every guy at school is sitting around simultaneously thinking what a dumb fuck you are and thanking you for being one. I’m out.
DALLAS
I also really like Dallas. He is a funny and sweet guy and a good friend to Keatyn. We learn more about Dallas in this book. If anything, he can relate more to Keatyn than anyone.
My Dallas line:
She’s way too high strung for me. It was like dating Tigger with boobs.
DAMIEN
I was SO HAPPY to get some Damien in this book! I’ve missed him. One of Keatyn’s oldest friends. I could definitely see Damien and Keatyn together in the future...
You were my Keatie first
I know I am leaving out a ton of guys... We also meet Dawson and Riley’s older brother Cam, and younger brother Braxton (loved that kid!) and of course there is Jake. He is a sweetheart.
There is so much going on in Date Me, its hard to even summarize...
Homecoming is the big thing. Keatyn makes friends with Peyton and frienemies with Whitney. Vincent makes a few guest appearances. Keats tries out for the school play. There is a lot of dancing. There is heartbreak and cheating. There are four leaf clovers and glow in the dark stars.
Now to the main attraction:
KEATIE
I absolutely love Keatyn! Couldn’t love her more! She is growing up and trying to be smart and make good decisions. I can’t wait to see where her journey takes us in ‘Love Me.’
Some of my FAVORITE Keatyn lines:
Now I have to ask the million dollar question... Aiden or Dawson???
If Dawson has the potential to break my heart, crack it in two, Aiden has the power to annihilate it.
At the end of this book I am 100%
I know this review has been all over the place. But I really just LOVE these books. They are funny, sweet, sexy and just all around awesome. If you get one thing from this, just know
THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ!!!!!

Some of my FAVORITE Keatyn lines:
I put my hands on top of his and move them around my body in the name of dancing.
This would be even funner if we were naked.
Shit.
Hello? You can’t think that.
“I’m not dating Dawson to be popular, Whitney. I’m dating him for hot sex.”
Aiden lets out a deep, sexy growl. The kind of growl that makes a girl want to rip off her panties.
Not me, of course. I’m just saying most girls. Well, some girls would, maybe.
I think.
Electrical shivers shoot up my leg.
And my knee is such a slut!
She likes it!
She’s that friend you have. The one who you tell you’re on a diet and the next day she shows up with cupcakes and says, Aww, just one won’t hurt.
“I was going to say that you’re doing a great job. With the hammer. With the, uh, hammering. Like, you seem to be pretty good at hammering. Uh, I mean pounding. Or, um, nailing. You know, whatever its called.”
Oh yeah, I’m going to like being single. Welcome to my whoredom, boys...
Now I have to ask the million dollar question... Aiden or Dawson???
If Dawson has the potential to break my heart, crack it in two, Aiden has the power to annihilate it.
At the end of this book I am 100%
I know this review has been all over the place. But I really just LOVE these books. They are funny, sweet, sexy and just all around awesome. If you get one thing from this, just know
THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ!!!!!

Book 3 in Keatyn Chronicles
FULL REVIEW POSTED on 4/8/13
Hello my name is Alexis Moore, and I am totally addicted to the Keatyn Chronicles! All I could think when I finished this book was I want MORE MORE MORE!
I am in love with Jillian Dodd!!! She get's it right EVERY TIME !!! It's as if she knows my reading taste buds and she cooks up something that knocks my socks off with each installment in this series!!!
And with the way this book ended... I am positive she is cooking up something G O O D for the next book ,Love Me!!
And I cannot wait to get my grubby little hands on it!
Boy's Boy's Boy's Boy's
Boy's I do adore.....*sighs*
Kiss me. Date me. Love me. Hate me. STALK ME.
'I have the sudden urge to lick him. To see if he tastes as good as he looks. He leans back to watch the next audition, taking his big hand with him. I close my eyes and shake my head. How the hell does he do that? Damn, him! He's like a god damn walking love potion.' ~Keatyn
I am ABSOLUTELY 100% head over heels in love with Keatyn. Even when she makes mistakes I love her because it just shows that shes human. This book picked up right where kiss me left off. Keatyn is riding her high on cloud nine after just being asked publicly by Dawson to go to Homecoming. She graciously accepts of course! It’s not long before Dawson and Keatyn decide to become an official couple and things are good for them.. Really really good! ***wiggles eyebrows suggestively***
'Dawson is like a sexual buffet. I never know what to expect, what’s going to be next in line. But I definitely want to keep going back for more.' ~Keatyn
Dawson definitely knows how to bring the sex appeal an while I enjoyed it, it also would have been nice for him to get know Keatyn on a deeper level. I mean damn their whole relationship was physical. On the other hand I felt Aiden connected with Keatyn in this book on a more personal level. It almost seemed as if Aiden was purposely aiming to get to know Keatyn in a more personal way. He wanted to understand her and her reasoning behind some of the choices she has made. I liked that. I am not sure who I want Keatyn to end up with I love both Dawson and Aiden. Yes, I love Keatyn and Dawson together but I think Aiden is “the one” however only time will tell.
Ok so here are the HIGHLIGHTS in no particular order
-A couple makes it official
–Someone gets the key to a boys heart
–Someone is kissing other guys not just her boyfriend
-Whitney is up to no good
–Someone cashes in their V card
–Someone cheats
-Someone drops a BOMB by revealing a secret
–Someone else.. cheats
–There is a school Break-in..or something like that *wink,wink*
–Drunk texting
–Someone meets the parents
-Whitney is still up to no good
–Good times are had in New York City
-There is a Vincent siting
–Certain someones make a video on a private jet that goes viral
–ANOTHER secret is revealed
–Someone finds out it was written in the stars
My Thoughts
Keatyn has been cautiously guarding her heart, shes made bad decisions in the past and she does not want to experience that heartbreak again. I love the talk she had with her mom. It was so heartfelt, I love to see a mother daughter relationship that is open and honest. Keatyn’s friendship with Riley and Dallas priceless. Those two have Keatyn’s back no matter what! I loved getting to meet Dawson’s brothers, Braxton had me laughing so hard I had stomach cramps. Cannot wait to get more of him!
You did it again Jillian Dodd! I CANNOT WAIT to read LOVE ME!!!!
My Ratings
Characters- Lovable
Writing Style- Fun, Witty, and Savory
Plot/Storyline- Unputdownable, and fast paced with a touch of Suspense
Steam Factor- High/Very Steamy
Overall- I LOVED IT! READ IT!!
Warning: This book has mature content and is best suited for readers 16 and older.
Now go forth and read. Then come tell us about it on Goodreads!

4.5 "I am 100% addicted to this series" STARS.
Yep, this series just keeps getting better and better and I'm loving every second of it! Jillian Dodd is fast becoming one of my new favorite authors! These books are fun, entertaining, fast-paced and a little over-the-top, but that's exactly what I like about them. There is never a dull moment in Keatyn's life and that's what makes these books so damn good and just unputdownable!
Random thought and highlights: (might contain spoilers)
❥ Aiden's hidden dance "talent" and Kaetyn's reaction to it:
"What the hell? Do you used to be in a boy band? Are you here in some embarrassment protection program?"
❥ Keatyn accepting the necklace with the key to Dawson's heart.
❥ Keatyn tutoring French to Aiden and the dirty talking in French that goes with it.
❥ Damian's Rock Star song. *SWOON*
❥ Shopping trips to New York and crazy car chases.
❥ The Mission: Impossible Party.
❥ Late nights at The Cave with Dallas and Riley.
❥ Homecoming.
❥ Run-ins with Vincent. Not so much fun... That guy keeps getting crazier and crazier :S.
❥ The crazy, hilarious music video with Dallas and Riley.
❥ Keatyn *finally* finding out the truth about Aiden's stars for Homecoming.
"I did it because I think it's time you finally knew the stars were always for you. Always. Only. Ever. For you." ♥♥
I feel like I could go on and on about these books, but all I'm going to say is: If you haven't read this series yet and you're looking for a fun, addictive, hilarious, sweet story, then READ it!! You won't regret it ;-).
♦ My casting for Keatyn, Dawson & Aiden: ♦
At the beginning, I was 90% sure I was Team Dawson BUT then he went ahead and did some things that I could NOT approve of. So, from now on I think I'm going to be Team Aiden. To me, he seems like the best match for Keatyn and he just keeps saying the sweetest things to her.
But of course I love all the other boys in Keatyn's life too: Riley, Dallas, Damian, Jake, Camden, Brooklyn...and last but not least, the newest addition to the Johnson brothers clan: Braxton! Only 14 years old but already a true player...
Braxton: Right now, I'd like a trio of slutty girls. All naked together in my room with nothing to do but me.
Keatyn: Let's try to deal with reality.
Braxton: I was. I originally wanted a harem.
See what I mean? LOL! I'm really glad with all the new characters the author keeps introducing in every new book and I can't wait to read much more of this series and Kaetyn's crazy, exciting new adventures!
April 13, 2013
April 2013? What can I do to bribe Jillian in order to convince her she should release it, like, tomorrow?
Okay so now I need more... like yesterday! I just finished my ARC of Date Me for the Blog Tour (watch for my review on April 15th) and I'm dying to talk about this book... but my lips are sealed!!! Well at least sealed to the point where I won't tell you anything other than - It's freaking awesome!

Vote for Aiden from The Keatyn Chronicles in the YA Crush tournament! If he wins the tournament, I'll be releasing a very long sneak peek for LOVE ME!!! (Please share with your friends!) http://ya-sisterhood.blogspot.com/201...

The Keatyn Chronicles are similar to a television series. The books do not stand along and this book begins the same night as the last book ends. There is no recap of the story.
Gah! I've been trying to mull over the review but I just can't find a way to do it. I want to convince y'all to start this wonderful series. But I don't want to spoil a single thing and it's impossible to talk about this book without giving at least small spoilers into the earlier book. Curious? It all begins in Stalk Me and continues in the wonderful Kiss Me. The only bad this is the wait for the next one!
I will say: it is funny, brilliant, sweet and full of hot boys. It is like a television series! It's like Friends, Gossip Girl, 90210 and Sex and the City wrapped in one!
August 15, 2014
5 Stars!!!
I will begin with the end…WOW! I freaking loved this ending! That’s all you will get out of me, because I am a Glitter Whore not a Spoiler Whore.
Date Me picks up where Kiss Me leaves off. Keatyn begins dating Dawson, and is quickly becoming the it girl at school. She is learning that she has to live her life not script it.
I love Keatyn! Basically Keatyn is having to grow up pretty quickly. She has been emancipated, has excess to her trust fund, and can basically go and do whatever she wants but chooses to be responsible. She is a good friend and always takes up for the underdog. She uses her popularity for good not evil, like that bitch Whitney. I also love that Keatyn is just like every other teenage girl. Her emotions are spot on, she gets upset she is over emotional and falls in love quickly…but that just makes the story more real to me.
This story has a little bit of suspense and shocking moments, it has swoon worthy moments, and all together it makes you feel good. I am LOVING The Keatyn Chronicles and have my book-mate to thank for turning me on to them.
I am still team God of all Hotties!!
Again I listened to the audiobook for this one, and I love the narrator!

"...I think it's time you finally knew that the stars were always for you. Always. Only. Ever. For you."
April 11, 2013
Jillian Dodd has created such an addicting series in the Keatyn Chronicles. I can't get enough of these books. They are all about growing up, having lots of fun, wearing fabulous clothes and hot boys! Lots and Lots of boys!
If you have read the series and are up to Date Me, you will be swooning, laughing, and quite possibly have to pick your jaw off the floor all the while enjoying every page of this book.
I was Team Dawson up until this book. Yes I was drinking the Johnson Brother’s Kool Aid and loving it. I was so prepared for Keatyn to take that necklace and fall for Dawson. I will not spoil the story so I’ll just that I’m still recovering... someone spilled my Kool Aid!
What about the God of All Hotties? I like him don’t get me wrong, he is sweet and yeah hot and a bit vague when he talks to her. I find him a bit frustrating and skittish.
After finishing Date Me, I’m still drinking the Kool Aid and I’m all about TEAM RILEY!!! I can’t say enough about him. He is loyal, protective and absolutely hilarious. I smile every time Riley and Keatyn are together.
Bottom line, this book was a great read! Vincent is still lurking, Keatyn pursues her acting ambitions, participates so really fun school events while making friends and following her heart!
I loved the ending and I’m more than excited to read Love Me!
April 10, 2013
5--Fan-freaking-tastic--Stars!!!
So....first things first!!!
TEAM AIDEN!!!!!
My love for Aiden hasn't wavered....and if anything I think I fell in love with him a little bit more in Date Me. He was just so damn sweet!
This was me throughout the whole book....
This series is like an addiction. I couldn't put the book down. I love everything about it. Especially all of the boys. Date Me picks up right where Kiss Me left off. Keatyn finally decides to give her heart to Dawson.
Meanwhile, Aiden continues to float around in the background just waiting to make his move. It kind of broke my heart a little because you can tell how much he loves Keatyn. But he's just waiting for his moment--which I thought he got at the end.
I felt like the relationship between Dawson and Keatyn was mostly sex. And while I have always been a Dawson fan, he disappointed me with some of his decisions in this book. It was fun getting to see more of Cam and Dawson's younger brother Braxten though.
There was a lot of excitement at the end of the book. Dawson makes an epic-ally DUMB decision.
Vincent makes an appearance, Damien makes an appearance, Dallas' secrets are revealed.....and the ending! Best. Ending. Ever. It was the perfect ending to the series...leaving us all DYING for the next book!!!
In the meantime....
Oh...and one more thing! Did I mention....
TEAM AIDEN!!!!!
But Riley comes in a close second!!!

Curve balls to the heart and a drug test...
I’m seriously thinking about having The Keatyn Chronicles drug tested. No seriously. If I made it pee words in a cup, it would come back positive.
It's like Jillian Dodd laced this series with heroine, I'm addicted. Everything about what's going on...the guys....the indecision. It drives me bat shit crazy, but I can't get ENOUGH!!!
This book picks up exactly where Kiss Me left off. And just like its predecessors, it drove me insane, completely insane. Even the parts you don’t like, you tolerate, and the parts you hate, you love. It’s a crazy addiction that I can’t explain.
For us Team Dawsoners, he was…how do I put this? Very much about the sex and less about the love. Aiden got all the quality conversations, and deep moments. Don’t get me wrong, Dawson was still sexy, sweet, and caring, but he breathed sex. He showed his love in a very physical way. I’m still Team Dawson though!! TEAM DAWSON....and his penis!!
Despite my devotion for Team Dawson; it officially has some alternates now. Dallas and Riley won me over in a big way. Especially Riley. I absolutely love them. LOVE!!
If I’m going to be completely honest though, this book scared me. I’m afraid of what happened…what’s to come. So much unknown. So much speculation. So much confusion. I want what I want and I’m afraid it may go in another direction. I’m afraid to be hit in the heart with a curve ball. However, it’s the fact that I care so damn much that shows just how truly unique and addictive this series is. If you haven’t read The Keatyn Chronicles, GO! NOW!
READ ON!
I’m seriously thinking about having The Keatyn Chronicles drug tested. No seriously. If I made it pee words in a cup, it would come back positive.
It's like Jillian Dodd laced this series with heroine, I'm addicted. Everything about what's going on...the guys....the indecision. It drives me bat shit crazy, but I can't get ENOUGH!!!
This book picks up exactly where Kiss Me left off. And just like its predecessors, it drove me insane, completely insane. Even the parts you don’t like, you tolerate, and the parts you hate, you love. It’s a crazy addiction that I can’t explain.
For us Team Dawsoners, he was…how do I put this? Very much about the sex and less about the love. Aiden got all the quality conversations, and deep moments. Don’t get me wrong, Dawson was still sexy, sweet, and caring, but he breathed sex. He showed his love in a very physical way. I’m still Team Dawson though!! TEAM DAWSON....and his penis!!
Despite my devotion for Team Dawson; it officially has some alternates now. Dallas and Riley won me over in a big way. Especially Riley. I absolutely love them. LOVE!!
If I’m going to be completely honest though, this book scared me. I’m afraid of what happened…what’s to come. So much unknown. So much speculation. So much confusion. I want what I want and I’m afraid it may go in another direction. I’m afraid to be hit in the heart with a curve ball. However, it’s the fact that I care so damn much that shows just how truly unique and addictive this series is. If you haven’t read The Keatyn Chronicles, GO! NOW!
READ ON!

I heart, love, adore and cherish this series sooo much., My fav YA series by far!
It’s official.. I am on team
KIDARIADRAX
Team Kiki,Dallas, Riley, Aiden and Braxton! I LOVE THEM!
I know Kiki can’t end up with herself... but I love that girl!
And that she won’t end up with Dallas, Riley and Braxton but man they make the stories that much more adorable and awesome..
This week in Keatyn’s life:
**Deep Breath**
Keatyn:
is still with Dawson and feels like she’s ready to tell him the L word.
Is deliriously, happy with the way that Dawson asked her to Homecoming.
So why is she so devastated with what she see’s on Aiden’s roof?
She needs to get over the “God of all Hotties” –well that’s what she keeps telling herself, she’s also pretty devo’d when she find out he is in love with someone. But she can’t date both of them so chooses Dawson.
She also tries out for the school play.
Still tutoring Aiden, in French in between acts.
A flying visit to Damian is done.
Misses her family
Dresses amazingly
And shoots a totally fun youtube video!
Dawson:
is a sex crazed teenager.
Is still ridiculously handsome and funny and sweet and well sex crazed.
Can’t get enough of his Keatie.
There’s fights, misunderstandings and make ups as well as more kissing and sex.
But he does something I can’t forgive him for.
I really liked him before that.
Aiden:
is still broody, still awesome. And still amazingly hot!
We learn a bit more about him and where he comes from.
Why’s he at the school. Keatyn can’t understand his “player” ways but he doesn’t try to clear anything up.
He’s the guy we all love when we aren’t crushing on Dawson/Riley/Jake/Dallas
Riley and Dallas:
make me extremely happy as secondary characters.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE TWO!
I wish I could see the YouTube video!
They both get girls and lose girls in this story, also learn a bit more about both of them.
Whitney is still a bitch.
But yet you kinda get why…..
Peyton is learning to stand on her own two feet, and out stepping Whitney’s shadow. Only problem is? She’s becoming a bitch!
We learn a HUGE secret of hers.
Cam finally makes an appearance not just spoken about
Introducing newcomer, Braxton.
He is the youngest brother of Cam, Dawson and Riley. And I LOVE HIM!
Damian makes a guest appearance, even has a number 2 hit in Japan!
Thank god no Brooklyn though, not ready for him yet…
Vincent is still around….
**exhale**
Oh and an ending that made me want to literally *SQUEE*
Actually who am I kidding,
I totally freaking SQUEED and SIGHED and smiled till my face hurt.
I wish I had LOVE me right now… I can’t wait till I have them all in my pretty little hands and read them all back to back just like a TV series Marathon

4 FABULOUS TEAM KIKI STARS
I just ADORE this series. EVERYTHING about the Keatyn Chronicles rocks my world. Jillian's writing is absolutely addicting. I devoured this book in less than ONE day!! Once I started it was impossible to put down! The drama, angst and sexiness is a total blast to read. I have to say that I'm sad and a little heartbroken that I am no longer a Team Dawson girl. Ugh...I can't even believe that I'm saying that!! In book two, Kiss Me, I was ALL about Dawson. He was so sweet and adorable. I thought there was nothing a girl wouldn't love about him. I’m sad to say that he crushed me and I'm now lost. Totally lost. Which team do I go for now because the pool of amazing boys are plenty. Riley, Aiden, Jake, Dallas....I could go on and on and on. There are so many delicious, sweet and lovable character that Jillian has created for us to love. I really think it’s incredible that all these characters have snuck their way into our hearts one way or another. I’m telling you this series is so good. I’m not a big high school age, YA book fan! I’m just not but there is something about this series that will hook you and keep you coming back for more and more!! AND the best part is that every single book just gets better and better. I love it.
In Date Me we pick up right where we left off in the last book. I don’t want to go into the whole plot of what happens just in case you haven’t read the series but it’s SOOOOOOO good. Keatyn is with Dawson and is still fighting a BIG crush on “The God of all hotties” aka Aiden. Dawson has just won her over and wooed her in an EPIC way, that leaves her feeling on top of the world. She learns in Date Me that sometimes love stinks and that boys can be stupid. She still has to deal with crazy, scary Vincent, who again makes a couple appearances that left me freaked out. SO much happens in this book. I want to tell you it all but I can’t! I just can’t ruin it for those who haven’t read the first two in the series.
Overall I think I fell in love with Aiden and I’m back to being on his TEAM all the way. I’m trying to mend my broken heart from a certain boy who has crushed it and find myself rooting hard for Keatyn to find some kind of true love, as well as, some freedom to just live her life freely and not in fear. I would say to you if you haven’t read this series or are thinking about it, READ IT!!!! You’ll love it. There’s something so fun and refreshing about each and everyone of these amazing characters. Once you start reading, you��ll be a Jillian Dodd fan for life. It’s so good. SO, SO, SO good. If you HAVE read the first two in the series, you can expect some angst and laughs. I know at the end of this you’ll be even more in love with Keatyn and her posse. I can't wait for the next book in the series Love Me.

I'm a mother. I'm married. I'm THIRTY-FIVE years old!!! So, why am I acting like my heart has been crushed like a high school girls'??? I'll tell you why: Jillian Dodd did this. She's officially made me into an indecisive, silly girl about all these luscious boys. In order not to spoil this book, I thought it would be best to give you, the reader, a break down of the boys from this particular book. You see, we know all the players at this point, but some of the game has changed. Some of these boys could be potential suitors, some are just friends. If you are a fan of this series, you know what I'm talking about. Yes, yes...some have your "team" and you're ready to settle with that but me, I'm not so sure yet. Let me show you why.
First up is Riley. Riley is funny, sweet, and truly a great friend to Keatyn. When Keatie first met Riley, he was definitely a player. Now, he's crushing on one particular girl. Despite his own love life, he is always there for Keatyn. They really do have a great friendship. She is open and honest with him as much as she can be. I really love Riley. However, I don't think he's Moon Boy.
Next is Dallas. I have to say that I would be happy if Keatyn and Dallas ended up together. I think Dallas would have a really good understanding of what Keatyn is going through. Being the son of a politician has certainly put him in some interesting situations, so I think he could be a good support to Keatie. Dallas makes me laugh, but there is a vulnerability to him that makes him endearing.
Aiden has been touch and go for me. Sure, he's sexy, hot, and in this book....I'll admit, he won me over a little bit. Just a smidge. Even though Aiden hasn't been forthcoming in his feelings for Keatie, I've never doubted his true intentions with her. When I first met him though, I thought he was just kind of cocky and kind of jerky. In Date Me, I felt like he was really ready to put it all out there. Would I be disappointed if he was Moon Boy? Not anymore. I'm warming to the idea.
Dawson. Oh Dawson. Is there anything left to say? What can I say? Hmmm....Ok, how about this: Dawson hurt me in this book. I fell in love with this boy in Kiss Me. I mean, I was ready to start planning a wedding here. Dawson is hot. He's likable. I always thought he and Keatie (me) were a great match. Now, I'm just not sure. He's made some bad choices and I just don't see how it could be possible for him to be Moon Boy. *cries*
Finally, Damien. I'm still holding out for Damien. I absolutely love him. In my mind, he's still her constant. They've known each other since they were little and I think he really loves Keatyn. That said, I do think it's good that they are both experiencing what life has to offer right now. Even if Keatyn's life has been forced on her. In the end, I hope that Damien could be the man of Keatie's dreams. Time will tell.
Overall, I really liked Date Me. I will go as far to say that this book has been my favorite in the series so far. There is some drama with Vincent. Even though Keatyn's love life usually takes center stage, the danger she's in does still have a major role in the overall plot. Must not forget that. I'm really anxious for Love Me. I loved the ending of this one and can't wait to see how the story is going to play out in the next book. Are you a fan of NA Contemporaries? Do you like reading about hot guys? Then, yes...this is a great series for you.

I was extremely privileged to be part of the Beta Team for Date Me and the following is an unbiased spoiler free review.
The thing that makes me nervous when reading an instalment of a book series that I love is that it wont measure up to the previous books . I always worry that it will be a case of 'one book too many' and characters that i have grown to love will be placed in unrealistic situations just to fill word quotas. Well I can rest easy because Date Me is NOT one of those books and if anything it actually EXCEEDED my expectations in storyline, character development and a few additions that were VERY UNEXPECTED!
Date me picks up perfectly where Kiss Me left us with Keatyn accepting Dawson's invitation to Homecoming and me wondering why no boy ever put stars on his ceiling to ask me out ?!?! While i must admit I chose what boy was my favourite early on in this series, there are quite a few moments in DATE ME when my allegiances were questioned by some rather sweet and very swoon worthy moments by a certain other boy ! OK there were some rather HOT moments in there as well , but I am only human so do not judge me !!!!
Once again Date Me is set over a very short time frame and Jillian Dodds pacing of this book is to perfection and the content selection is so concise that there just isn't any moments that you would consider to be irrelevant . We meet new characters and get a lot of back stories on the existing characters that will give you quite a few ..'Oh , now I know why that happened' moments .
So in Date Me we have moments of pure hilarity with the entry of the youngest Johnson brother . We welcome wisecracking and future King of the Whoredom Braxton. He really gives Dallas a run for his money and I can see we are going to be really good friends through out this series.
We have some really scary moments . Hi Vincent nice to see you again ....NOT !!
We have some moments that will melt your heart, make you reach for a tissue and say to yourself If Keatyn doesn't want you , look me up .... Yes Aiden , I'm talking to you ;)
Oh and the friendship dynamics between Keatyn , Riley and Dallas !! WOW they had some moments that were right up there with my favourites ...EVER.
And lets not forget how MY HEART WAS BROKEN !!! SMASHED, SHREDDED !!! And in steps angst !!! Thank you very much ... you know who you are and btw we are NOT friends at the moment !!!!!
And lastly ... Keatyn , I am quite proud of our little protagonist ... She is making better choices, making some great friends and finally beginning to know and like herself. YAY !!
So basically what I am trying to say ,and successfully I hope, is that I LOVED THIS BOOK . Its definitely my favourite in the series so far . 5+ stars . If you are a fan of The Keatyn Chronicles this book will ROCK YOUR WORLD , yep true story. Oh and the ending, OMG if it doesn't make you look for another page or shake your kindle in hope for just a little bit more , then seriously you need to give up reading FOREVER .
Well done Jillian Dodd ...Brilliant

Date Me is absolutely magically delicious and my favorite in this series so far. It picks up exactly where Kiss Me ended. Keatyn has just been asked to Homecoming by Dawson in one of the most exciting and original ways. She’s floating on ‘Dawson cloud nine’ and has finally decided to accept the ‘key to his heart’ that will make them official. Life is good for this couple. They have fun together and they have FUN together – if you know what I mean. Keatyn has finally found a good group of friends. She’s involved in school functions and is going to try out for the school play. Things are going great in Keatyn’s world. Sort of.
My little Keatie has really grown up quite a bit since I first met her in Stalk Me. She’s coming into her own. She knows what she wants in life and is ready to pursue it. But, like any teenager, she makes mistakes and bad decisions. I love Keatyn. She marches to her own drum. She’s a fun chick with a huge heart. However, she does have a lot on her plate as she struggles with missing her family and old friends while still dealing with the psycho stalker, Vincent. That’s a lot for any seventeen year old girl to handle. However, Keatyn is not one to sit around and moan about her life. She may have a break down every once in a while, but she gets back up and continues to dance to her own beat, making the best of everything. The girl has a heart of gold.
“I’m not dating Dawson to be popular, Whitney. I’m dating him for hot sex.”
Despite her worries over her stalker, she definitely has it good with two hot guys vying for her attention. I fell pretty hard for Dawson in Kiss Me. He’s a good guy, playful, and meltingly sexy. Sure, Dawson and Keatyn have a lot of fun together, and really good sexual chemistry, but I feel like Dawson never tried to get to know Keatyn on a more personal level besides the physical part. The eighteen year old horny teenager in Dawson came out full force in this book – among other things. Dawson needs a swift kick in the hiny.
Aiden lets out a deep, sexy growl. The kind of growl that makes a girl want to rip off her panties.
Not me, of course. I’m just saying most girls. Well, some girls would, maybe.
I think..
And then there is Aiden, who I had big issues with in Kiss Me, yet he completely surprised me in a very good way in this installment. In the last book, I wasn’t willing to look at Aiden as anything more than an annoying nat buzzing around Dawson and Keatyn’s relationship. But then, all of a sudden, I immediately felt the connection between Aiden and Keatyn, and I saw just how compatible they are together. Aiden showed me how thoughtful, passionate, and swoon-worthy he really is. Now, I have to agree with Keatyn, Aiden really is the God of all Hotties. I was wooed.
If Dawson has the potential to break my heart, crack it in two, Aiden has the power to annihilate it.
When I first started this story, I was adamant to remain loyal to Team Dawson. Then, suddenly I found myself switching gears 8% into the book. My heart started swooning for someone else. And then my head was spinning with disbelief that I could be wooed that quickly. I don’t know who Keatyn will end up with. I’m not even sure I’m ready to give up on Dawson. He’s not a bad guy, he’s just young and slightly immature. Could Dawson or Aiden be the one? Who knows. Miz Dodd is tricky when it comes to the hot male leads in Keatyn’s life. I have to give Jillian Dodd kudos. She has an amazing writing talent where you will become emotionally and passionately attached to her characters. She has a way with creating a character and showing you what she wants you to see at the moment. And then she will open that character up and show you their true colors. I’m definitely impressed by Miz Dodd’s writing skill, indeed.
I adore the secondary characters in this story, especially Dallas and Riley. I admit to having a huge crush on both of them. They both make me laugh and smile. And the fact they both protect and love Keatyn like family would is truly awe-worthy. Part of me thinks that Keatyn will end up with Dallas at some point. But, maybe that’s wishful thinking on my part. And then there is Damian. The super, sexy rock star has piqued my interest. Oh, yes. Miz Dodd has me in hot boy overload again.
I love this series, the characters, the storyline, everything. The Keatyn Chronicles is addictive, to put it mildly. I never thought I could get so emotionally involved in a tween series, but this series certainly has my undivided and devoted attention. The twist at the end of Date Me was freaking fantastic. Keatyn has some decisions to make and I cannot wait to see what happens in Love Me!

I am so happy with this book it is unreal. For one single sentence it was my perfection. I have waited and waited and wanted...just say it....!!!! And yep it happened.
This book follows Stalk Me and Kiss Me and is again done perfectly. We have our Keatie :) who is adventuring out and learning more about how kick ass she is and then of course we have the boys. THE BOYS!!!!!!!
Braxton and Cam are so freaking awesome. If I wasn't stuck to Aiden I might be stealing Cam. Braxton cracks me up. This kid has replaced my witty love for Dallas. I can't wait to have more of him!!
Dallas and Riley are as always the best guys ever and we all need guys like them in our pocket. Riley was such an awesome friend to Keatyn in Date Me. I loved his talks with K and how protective he was of her.
And Vincent OMG Vincent you get scarier and scarier! But Keatyn really stepped up and thought before she did. I was quite proud of her. Terrified at certain times. Vincent is definitely a big problem and I'm and very scared at what stunts he will pull next.
I am not, never was, and never will be Team Dawson but I'm not a complete idiot. Dawson is hot! Dawson is a great guy and right now great for Keatyn! He really stepped up his game in Date Me. I give her high fives for really taking a chance on Dawson...she needs it. He was very swoon worthy and romantic but NOT enough to change my mind from Hottie God Aiden. I don't think...well I know I won't EVER change from being Team Aiden!!! Aiden stepped up his game well, I won't call it a game but he is more comfortable around Keatyn and I love it. I said Dawson was swoon worthy well let me say Aiden is the swoon GOD. All the little things that he continues to do for Keatyn without going overboard is just him talking to her soul!!! I love all their talks, text, notes! They are building such a great friendship before she realizes he is Moon Boy (yes I believe he IS Moonboy) The dude is freaking perfect!
I could go in detail of all the things that I love but I do not want to give anything away.
BUT I will say the ending...OMG.. THE ENDING is my FAVORITE. The last sentence made me cry. It was like a release for me! I was smiling so huge for days. Smiling now just thinking about it. The end left me wanting more immediately and know more than ever I can't wait for Love Me!!!!

"Haven't you ever seen a movie where two people are supposed to fall in love but you just can't picture them together? I mean, take Twilight for example. I think when most people read the book they loved Edward. But when the first movie came out a lot of people started switching to Team Jacob because it felt like they had good chemistry."
OMG What just happened to me... Seriously WTH just happened to me
I am pretty sure Jillian Dodd has a special power and her words are like crack and I am addicted. To the point, I get the shakes and everything when I even think about this series. This book was PERFECTION and it took my expectations and rocked the hell outta of them!! Seriously it was that good!!!
"Ha! Serves you right. hangovers are your body's way of telling you that you're an idiot."
HAHA The laugh is definitely on me because I have a serious book hangover and the only thing curing this one is Love Me!! Not kidding I NEED IT!!!
Ok focus Jodie ~ This book picks up exactly where Kiss Me left off. And just like that one, it drove me crazy, had me laughing, made me cry and I may have thought of ways to get Jillian to marry me.
"What?" I'm feeling just a bit dazed. Must be all the the spray glue fumes.
"Oh, I was going to say that you're doing a great job. With the hammer. With the, uh, hammering. Like, you seem to be pretty good at hammering. Uh, I mean pounding. Or, um, nailing." I shake my head. "You know, whatever it's called.
Aiden tosses the hammer into the air. It spins in a circle then drops back into his hand. "I like to hammer things."
I was very Team Dawson, but he shattered me and left me remembering he is very 17. He made mistakes in this book, mistakes that made me want to kick his ass and have him on his knees begging for forgiveness. Dawson your an idiot but I still love you. Aiden, well the boy got his game together in this book. Don’t judge me, I still love Dawson!! Hello the boy screams I'm sexy, sweet, and you want me. It's just Aiden used his game on me and I was unable to look away!!
"Aiden has been staring me with so much intensity. And apparently, using some of that godly power. The one that makes you feel like the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. If I only had a brain.
Then there was Dallas and Riley who completely won me over in a big way. Especially Mr. Riley. I absolutely love them. Not kidding I am offically a Jillian Bookwhore.
Welcome to my whoredom, boys.
This book was my favorite so far in the series. Not going to lie I’m afraid of what happened, where Jillian is going and I am speechless once again. So many theories, so many options for Moon Boy. Oh and if you're wondering what team I am now I have decided I am Team Alphabet!! Have to cover all the bases just in case!!!
"You're a Keeper."
"I'm a keeper because of real estate?"
"No. You're a keeper because of your ass, but I was told to be polite."
Oh Jillian, you, your boys and Keatyn are definitely keepers and I LOVE YOU for bringing them into my life.
Last night. Oh, Last night.
I don't think I want to remember it.
Then again I definitely don't want to forget it!!! LOVED IT

Review posted to: Swept Away By Romance
5 Stars
Genre: Contemporary, MATURE Young Adult/New Adult Romance
Heat Barometer: 4 out of 5 flames
I am totally addicted to this series and I will be counting down the days until August 15th and Love Me, book #4 becomes available. It is a Gossip Girl series of the rich, spoiled and over indulgent youth. Some have great character and some have great flaws, but they are typical teenagers filled with love, lust, fickleness, and consistent ability to make stupid decisions.
This is what I would describe as a guilty pleasure for me because I feel guilty due to the fact that I don't agree with Keatyn's morals, especially at such a young age, she is a little free and easy with the sex. Her sex life, the party scene, and the access these kids have to this wild lifestyle is outrageous, BUT I love reading about it. Also the parenting situation is a little disturbing to me too. Not because she doesn't have a loving family situation, but I just feel conflicted because Keatyn really needs to be with her superstar parents. She emancipated herself in book 1, Stalk Me because she was running from a crazy stalker and her being around her famous family could jeopardize their security. Tommy, her stepfather (think Brad Pitt) and her mom (more Jennifer Anniston than Angelina) need to protect her and direct her. That being said you wouldn't have the wild ride that is a blast to follow in these books.
In the series Keatyn goes through many different relationships and loves, some turn out good, some not so, but I was totally enthralled with each one as they progress. The character Keatyn is fun and a great friend to many. I just love all the interactions and hook ups between the large cast of characters. The love story and the love triangle in Date Me is hot and gets my blood pumping. Dawson is great, but Aidan is a GOD!
I have loved every book I have read by Jillian Dodd, That Boy, That Wedding, and all of the Keatyn Chronicles have been 5 stars for me. Dodd gives me the perfect mix of sexual tension, young love, humor, hot sex that isn't overly detailed, but a total turn on, AND there are lots of characters to keep things moving and fresh. I also have Keatyn wardrobe envy! The way Dodd describes Keatyn's clothes with all the top designers make Keatyn a walking fashion statement no matter what the event.
Best of all, especially with Keatyn series, Dodd gives me a good healthy dose of anticipation for the next book in the series. I get so frustrated with cliff hangers, but I always feel fulfilled with Dodd's endings and don't mind the wait for the next book. That is weird for me to say because lots of times I delay reading books because of the cliffhanger endings.
If you like the New Adult Romance Genre you have to check this series out from the beginning.
NOTE** The series also has to be read in order.

March 27, 2013
I was lucky enough and honored to Beta Read for Date Me and I must say that this review is the god honest truth :D <3 I freakin LOVED IT!!!!
This whole series captivates me and I become obsessed with wanting to finish any one of Jillian Dodd's books right when I start them. They suck you into this totally amazing life that you want to be apart of. But that's the point of reading isn't it? To enter another world inside your head. Jillian does an AMAZING job at that!! But back to my review :) I'll keep it short and sweet!!!
This book opens you more up to some characters and you learn more about them; it will make you hurt for them; but you will also definitely fall more in love with certain ones!!! You see them as real people, with real problems and real emotions. It takes your breathe away -- in more ways than one!!!! You're going to LOVE IT!!
I love every single one of Jillian's books and can't wait to experience the rest of Keatyn's story :) <3

Are you Team Brooklyn? Or,Team Cush? Maybe you’re Team Jake? How about Team Dawson? Let’s not forget the Hottie God himself, Team Aiden! Date Me will keep you holding on by the edge of your seat making you question whose team you really may be on.
Let me first say I had the privilege to beta read this book, and this review is the honest truth.
Date me picks right up where Kiss Me left off. Like, right where it left off. While the story continues with the short time frame, don’t let it fool you. This book is far from short and filled to the max of sweet, sassy, and swoon worthy moments. Jillian’s writing style and flow of the story is done to perfection. She sets the pace building up each of the characters- giving us every little detail of what is happening. Jillian gives her readers a deep look into certain characters that will leave you with a jaw dropping expression! There is no piece of information that is not important to this story.
Dawson… Oh sweet Dawson. He knows how to bring the heat. Sexual heat that is…
“Dawson is like a sexual buffet. I never know what to expect, what’s going to be next in line. But I definitely want to keep going back for more.'” –Keatyn
Aiden. No words can describe how I personally feel about this man. He stepped up his game in Date Me bringing out his more sensitive side. But, let’s not forget about his charming, romantic, sweet, soft, loveable, or charismatic side. We get a deeper look into Aiden’s world, but don’t worry; he still knows how to bring on the flirtatious charm making you squirm in your seat with excitement!
“I think being just your friend will be fun.” –Aiden
Not only do we get Dallas but we also get the youngest of the Johnson clan, cocky Braxton. And let me tell you, these two are “magically delicious.” Whether it was them bringing their charm, heartfelt advice, or cockiness, they lit up every scene.
“ Dallas: First, I’m gonna ask if she wants to hang out tomorrow night. Then if she puts out, I’ll ask her to HC.
Me: DALLAS!!!!
Dallas: Cool your orange panties and call me. I won’t try anything but if she attacks me I will NOT resist.”
“Braxton: Right now, I’d like a trio of slutty girls. All naked together in my room with nothing to do but me.
Me: Let’s try to deal with reality.
Braxton: I was. I originally wanted a harem.”
Keatyn. I don’t think I could love her more in this book, or yes, be proud. From Stalk Me to Date Me we really get to see a much wiser Keatyn. She is making the right decisions for herself and excepting what comes her way.
“But if you have to change for someone, then you are not still you, and that’s bad too. You have to be careful not to lose yourself in the process.” -Keatyn
While we get sexual heat, and sweet charm, we also get suspense, thrill, comedy, and heartbreak. Jillian really stepped up her game in Date Me. There were times I was smiling uncontrollably, laughing hard, biting my nails, sweaty palms, and even heart palpitations. Fans of The Keatyn Chronicles will be far from disappointed in this installment. Believe me when I say this is the best in the series and only shows growth in Jillian’s writing and ability. I can only imagine where she will take us in Love Me.

All I can really think to say is this - simply, I am addicted to this series. I need more...like NOW! :)
April 9, 2013
OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!
JUST WOW!!
I cannot even explain how great this series is. If you haven’t read it—YOU NEED TO!!
Date Me starts right where Kiss Me left off. So much stuff happens in this book that my head was spinning—is still spinning. I am not even sure how I feel right now. I loved it. I hated it. I am so torn about it. One thing for sure though is that I am absolutely, no question about it, hooked! Jillian Dodd did such a good job with this book and we really get to see all of the characters grow a little.
K is becoming more of her “true” self. She is opening up to a few people and learning to trust her instincts. She still has a long way to go but I am confident that she is on the right path to discovering and being who she wants to be. Dawes is just so damn sweet and sexy—you can’t help but to like/love him. The chemistry between he and K is undeniable. He is definitely swoon worthy. Aiden is finally starting to show that he has some game where K is concerned. I am really starting to get worried about his potential as Moon Boy. Dallas is still funny as hell and has some of the best pick up lines. I would totally eat Lucky Charms for him—just sayin’. And Riley. Riley…Riley…Riley…If I didn’t love Dawes so much you would be the one babe. Riley is just perfect in this book. He is K’s confidante—she learns she can really trust him and count on him regardless of him being Dawes little brother. He really is her “best” friend and of all the characters I feel he grew the most in this book. I really LOVE him. Of course we still have Whitney the MOLE!!! Oh how I hate thee!! I hope she eventually gets what’s coming to her or seriously grows a heart. The girl is unbelievable! And then there is Damian—good ole’ Damian. Damian is still my pick for Moon Boy if Dawes strikes out—he’s just so loving and caring where K is concerned. Although we didn’t get to see much of him in this book he is there at one of the most important parts and is really sweet to her. Brooklyn isn’t in this book but I know he’ll be back and that has me a little worried in the Moon Boy department.
I can’t go into too much detail about this book because so much happens and I don’t want to spoil any second of it. You have to experience it just like I did. And boy was it an experience. I laughed, I cried (boy did I cry) BIG FAT UGLY TEARS, I swooned, and utterly enjoyed it—even though I almost wanted to not finish. My heart couldn’t handle anymore. But I persevered and continued on to the end. I am still just speechless. Well I guess I’m not too speechless because I am writing this review. But WOW is all I can think of to portray my feelings. Regardless of which team you are on I think this is the best book of the series so far. Bravo to Jillian for another fantastic book! Job well done! 5+ Stars!

God where to begin! Lord let me just tell you that Jillian Dodd has me so crazy with this series. I mean dam Keatyn has gone through so much and has matured so much from the first book that I just could not put this book down. Keatyn had to make so many decisions and in Date Me she has finally chosen Dawson to be with. Dawson has done the ultimate ace move and asked Keatyn in public to the homecoming and she just about dies and said yes. Dawson is excited to because he gets to have Keatyn on his arm for homecoming not only as his date but as his girl because they have made it official. Things seem to be looking up and getting better for Keatyn.
She has even sat down and talked to her mother which is a good thing because they have had a rocky past. In Date Me I have to say and yes some will kill me but I really started to connect more and love Aiden more. I LOVE me some Dawson but I am starting to think that Aiden is her better choice. I don't know Jillian you have confused me and I need the next book to decide because this one was more or less a prelude to what is coming next and I think that her and Dawson have a good thing going and they make a cute couple I think Aiden is for her. He gives her his undivided attention and they shared a lot of deep moments together.
What is Keatyn to do? Will she stay with Dawson or will she and Aiden give it a go? This series has had me on a roller coaster of emotions since book one and I can't get off that roller coaster so you will have to read and decide who is right for Keatyn and see who she chooses. No matter which one she chooses she will have a good guy in her corner!

No matter which one she chooses she will have a good guy in her corner!

I have NEVER as in EVER written, or felt the need to write a review until now!! I have had Stalk Me uploaded since it was released, I didn't read it until a few days ago......I DON'T KNOW WHY I WAITED SO LONG!! I have read a ton of books in the last 12 months and I have a lot of favorites and I also have a lot I love, well The Keatyn Chronicles are the God (or in this case), Goddess of them all!! Jillian Dodd wrote something that I'll never forget. Never thought I would read a YA novel let alone adore one. After reading Stalk Me I bought Kiss Me and Date Me right away and now I'm anxiously waiting for the rest in the series.
Now how I feel about the guys in Keatyns life go like this:
Sander-Felt like we never really got to know him, but I'm sure he and Keatyn will always be friends.
Damien-I like him, he's a good friend to Keatyn but I hope he's not her MB.
Brooklyn-Me no likely at all, never did!!!
Cush-I love him a lot and I hope we eventually see him again.
Riley and Dallas-Two other guys that will always be a part of her life, I adore them both!
Dawson-♥♥♥♥
Aiden-I love him but he needs to finish with his man period already.

I enjoyed the first two Keatyn Chronicles books, I loved “That Boy” and “That Wedding” I’m a frequent reader, I enjoy reading. I LOVED Date Me. It brings you so much closer to Keatyn, in Date Me Jillian Dodd does a magnificent job with character development. Don’t get me wrong her character’s are better developed that most other pieces of literature I’ve read, you can easily fall in love with her characters, boys and girls, the villains and the heartthrobs. In this book I feel more in love with Aiden, you get to know his relationship with his family and the sacrifices he has made for his sister (Which aren’t so different from Keatyn’s sacrifices). I even came to like Whitney a little bit. Jillian Dodd is amazing at making you fall in love with her characters. She is an all around amazing author. I highly recommend this. No doubt about it I am dying for Love Me and Hate Me!!! Another solid book from Bandit Publishing!!!!
