DARE TO HOLD is Carly Phillips' sixth book in the Dare to Love
series and like the others it can be read as a standalone
and it's well worth the read. The story is full of alpha men,
sizzling sex, family dynamics and all that goes with it. If
you haven't read the other books in this series, the Dare
family are combined families as a result of a secret that was
well kept for years but it is finally revealed at the worse
possible moment. And with that revelation comes hurt and
humiliation. But the one thing that is very evident is that
the Dare men are a very protective group of alpha males who
always protect their loved ones. This is a great series that
I recommend. This story deals with unexpected circumstances,
abuse, and trying to become independent and put your life back
together.
Kindergarten teacher Meg Thompson first encountered police
officer Scott Dare when she was admitted to the hospital. The
first time Scott saw Meg the alpha in him wanted to
protect her. So when he sees her out with her girlfriends and
they are trying to hook her up with a date, Scott knows he
wants to be the only man she's with. From the moment they get
together they can't stay away from each other. Scott has
issues from his past that may derail any future with Meg. Meg
is dealing with an abusive ex so she is insistent that she
will not allow herself to be controlled by another man and
that she has to be able to depend on herself.
This is a great story about letting others help when you need
it and still being independent and also learning what real
love is and how to have a successful and meaningful, lasting
relationship.
If you're looking for stories about overprotective alpha
males, sizzling heat with great entertainment I recommend the
Dare to Love series. Well written!
Some women always get it right. Kindergarten teacher, Meg
Thompson, on the other hand, consistently makes the wrong
decisions -- and she is currently single, pregnant and
alone. Meg is determined to make changes in her life, to be
a better mother than her own had been. No revolving door of
men. No man, period. Just a single-minded focus on her baby.
Her resolution would be easier to keep if not for hot cop,
Scott Dare. He insinuates himself in her life, making Meg
want to believe in happily ever after, even if history has
taught her to know better.
When Scott Dare hears Meg's friends are determined she have
a night of hot sex before her life changes forever, he
decides that man must be him. Their one night is mind
blowing and life altering. And Scott, a man already burned
by his ex-wife, finds himself all in anyway. While
protecting Meg from her violent ex and becoming part of her
increasingly complicated life, he's falling hard and he
can't seem to find distance. Not when their bodies respond
to each other with such heated intensity and he's drawn to
her unique combination of strength and vulnerability.
But Meg's future is one Scott has accepted he'll never have,
even if his growing feelings say otherwise ...
