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 …

Wow! What a ride, whew!
Meg and Scott’s story is anything but boring, lol.
It’s high level suspense …
It’s passionate and sexy, the characters so deeply caring and warm, even though they have some serious issues from their past to deal with.
This book is everything I expect in a romance novel …. and so, so much more!
I fell in love with Scott and Meg so easily. He is a cop who vows to protect her while her life is falling apart. She knows he is temporary but decides to take his help while he offers. Neither looking for love or even believing it is possible.
I started with this book not realizing it was the middle of series but it reads fine as a standalone. But couldn’t help but want to get to know the rest of the Dare siblings too so will be reading the others. I love male characters who step up to protect a woman no matter what their relationship. Meg is so much stronger than she realizes. Dare to Hold gave us a wonderful mix of romance and suspense.
This is the story of Scott Dare & Meg Thompson. Scott Dare is a cop. Meg is a kindergaten teacher. Scott and Meg have a had time getting past their issues of the past. Him more so than her. She is pregnant and has big problems with her ex, even though there’s a restraining order on him. Scott changes careers to be an investigator in his brother’s firm. It is more challenging to him. Scott and Meg met when he was a cop and she was in the hospital from a fall when her ex pushed her into a curio cabinet and all the glass items shattered. That’s when she landed in the hospital and almost lost her baby. There are a lot of ups and downs to this story, which keeps you wanting to know more and what will happen next. Great writing. Wonderful book. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
What woman ever expects to find happiness and true love after being left pregnant and alone, with no back up? Loved the characters and the whole Dare series! Too bad there aren’t real guys like these!
Dare to Hold is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone issue without cliff hangers but with HEA. Carly Phillips is one of my go to authors, you can always bet that her books will grab you from the first word and won’t let go until the very end, and then you still want more!
This book is the 4th in the series and it’s about Scott and Meg. Scott is a the typical Dare man who is a Alpha and extremely bossy. Meg is pregnant with her ex’s baby and has been known to be clingy and drawn to bad boys. She’s ruled out men and wants to stand on her own two feet without relying on someone else. Scott has is own problems but is just so drawn to Meg that he can’t stay away and his white knight tendencies come out when she’s in trouble.
It’s a tale of a hot fling that turns into life long love. My only problem is that I would have loved to find out the gender of the baby.
