Of course there are. Baker Beach and Marshall’s Beach are both settings for multiple chapters in Double Dare, because that’s where our clothing-averse chosen family can further explore and cement their camaraderie unabashed and without shame. Well, there’s a little shame for some, at first, but Luke and Raphael’s support, not to mention a little necessary provocation, soon washes away any shame along with the tide. What heartwarming gay romance would be complete without a little frolicking on a gay nude beach? So, yes, San Francisco hosts several nude beaches. Nothing portrayed in the Double Dare trilogy is farfetched, with the exception of the film the men create in Double Dare II, A Shaman Appears. Every other episode is not only plausible, but has probably happened many times. It is one of the reasons I love living here.

The Double Dare trilogy breaks new ground in gay fiction by portraying a chosen family with emotional depth, friendship, and, at times, explicit sexual love. It challenges traditional romance categorizations with scenes immersing the reader in the intimate dynamics between characters. The diverse cast forms a compassionate and supportive chosen family that grows closer, more loving and more profound with each passing year.
It started with a dare. Then a double dare. Follow along in this unabashedly erotic romance as Luke and Raphael test each other's devotion.
In Double Dare III, even more challenges and even heartbreak come their way. But also comes the joy of another wedding within the family. And a whole lot more.
