When loner and mercenary Dare MacIntosh agrees to rescue
his friend's younger sister from a human trafficking ring
holding her hostage in Tijuana, he gets more than he
bargained for. Among the hostages he rescues that night is
beautiful Molly Alexander - a bestselling suspense
novelist and the estranged daughter of a wealthy and
prominent businessman who just doesn't fit the profile of
the other women who were kidnapped.
When Dare rescues her from her captors, Molly confesses
her suspicion that someone paid the traffickers to hold
her hostage. But she doesn't know who, or why - she only
knows that there's nobody in her life she can trust right
now. She offers to hire Dare to help her look into who
might want to bring her harm. When a second kidnapping
attempt is made the morning after her rescue, Dare
realizes just how dire her situation may be and he accepts
the job. But the more time he spends with Molly, the more
Dare finds his protective instincts warring with his
overpowering attraction to her.
Since they deem it too dangerous for Molly to return to
her apartment in Ohio, Dare has no choice but to bring her
to his well-secured home in Kentucky. There, he tells her
his plan to scrutinize the lives of everyone close to her
in order to uncover who the culprit behind teh kidnapping
might be. The trouble is that the closer he looks, the
more suspects he accumulates. There's Molly's estranged
father, who's as ruthless at parenting as he is in
business, and her ex-fiance, who still holds a grudge over
their broken engagement. There's also the rabid fan of her
novels who's been sending her increasingly ominous, and
anonymous, letters.
With the threat to Molly's safety hanging over their heads
and their enforced proximity, Molly and Dare soon find it
impossible not to succumb to the intense attraction
between them. But beyond the physical, they begin to fall
for each other despite the fact that both are worried
about giving their hearts. Dare's job as a mercenary has
always precluded any serious relationships, and Molly's
emotionally tough childhood has left her wary of relying
on anyone but herself.
Dare must capture the individual threatening Molly's life
if they are to have any chance of grabing hold of the
happily ever after neither thought they could ever hope
for.
With Dare, Lori Foster has captured the alpha male hero at his best. He is smart, tough, and sexy. When he goes in to rescue a friend's abducted sister and discovers Molly, he knows he can't leave her behind. He keeps her close when he realizes she's still in danger. Dare is protective of Molly without overwhelming her or making her seem weak. Molly, recovering from the effects of her abduction, needs his help but that doesn't mean she isn't smart and strong. The action is well-paced, the romance is hot, and the supporting characters are intriguing. Fans of Ms. Foster are sure to enjoy her latest series. (Maria Munoz 10:18am April 17, 2011)
