JUST DARE ME?
Stephanie Bond

Romance Contemporary | Romance Series

Stephanie Bond's newest book, JUST DARE ME is full of adventure and hot romance between two marketing executives. Gabrielle Flannery has always been over looked and bypassed for promotions at her job. Dell Kingston has used his good looks to climb to the top of the corporate ladder.

When a fellow employee leaves the business for a promotion, her job becomes up for grabs. Dell immediately assumes he will get the promotion since he always achieves what he desires. When Gabrielle asks for the same position, their boss decides to turn this into a competition.

The company is sponsoring a wilderness survival weekend to showcase their products. Gabrielle and Dell are invited to attend the camping trip to compete against each other for the promotion. The only problem is, Dell has all the athletic skills and Gabrielle doesn't. Gabrielle fortunately is well acquainted with the products and will use her intelligence to make it through this long weekend with this arrogant man.

Gabrielle has always had a crush on Dell. She tries hard to suppress her feelings for him so she can win the promotion. Dell finally is starting to see Gabrielle in a new light. Gabrielle, already aware of how this man's mind works, fights off Dell's advances and tries her hardest to concentrate on the competition.

When a former flame of Dell's shows up at the survival weekend, he is caught in the middle of two women. One woman would love to satisfy his urges and needs, while the other woman won't let Dell near her but secretly is longing to give in to the temptation.

Will Gabrielle win the promotion, or will she let Dell distract her and win the account for himself? Will Gabrielle and Dell keep warm together under the same tent or will she leave him out in the rain? Will Dell forget about Gabrielle and concentrate on this other woman? Will Gabrielle make it through this long weekend and still have her pride in tack?

The story is full of eccentric characters and sexy scenes that will make you need a cold shower. Stephanie Bond's stories are always exciting, romantic, and a joy to read. I loved the chemistry between Gabrielle and Dell. The sex scenes were hot and will make readers want their own Dell to call their own. This is another excellent book by a very talented author. I highly recommend JUST DARE ME to romance readers who like a great storyline along with their romance. I guarantee you will devour this book within hours!

SUMMARY

Marketing exec Gabrielle Flannery isn't what you'd call the outdoorsy type. But after an embarrassing incident with a potted plant leaves Gabrielle revealing more leg than a Thanksgiving turkey, she decides it's time to reassert herself. Even if it means going head-to-head with marketing golden boy and the office Hottie McHot, Dell Kingston, over an outdoor gear accountโ€ฆ That is, until Gabrielle and Dell find themselves competing against each other for the account at a wilderness survival weekend. Since he's in touch with the great outdoors, Dell figures that naturally extends to Gabrielle and those sexy legs of hersโ€ฆ. But Gabrielle has a few tricks up her sleeve. And nothing stimulates a sexual appetite like a little fresh air, a tiny little tent and a whole lot of libido!
