Olivia and Dylan’s story is another emotional book in this series.
Both protagonists have suffered losses in their lives, but deal with them very differently.
While one has moved on, the other is still struggling to come to terms with the past and refuses professional help …
Again Ms. Phillips managed to portray in an emphatic, catchy and plausible way what the protagonist are confronted with, making this another page-turner in this great series.
Loved Dylan. He is an hot book boyfriend. He is slightly dominant but a gentleman. And he goes for what he wants and he wants Olivia. They are broth attracted to each other but she has enough baggage to fill a dump truck. He is all in front the start he just has to convince her to take the leap. After a couple scares, some ups and downs. She finally saw what he was trying to help her see. They were awesome together. Love the interconnected series. With the NY dates and the knight brothers, etc.
Tons of sex scenes. It felt like the first half to two-thirds was sex scenes…. many pages for each event and multiple orgasms. The book was less than 1/3rd story. Not a chance would a pro team not gone and straightened out Marcus’ family, so that wasn’t credible. However, the complexity between the characters, family and friends was interesting.
Great book.
I loved the vivid descriptions and detail.
Good storyline, can’t wait to read the other Dare family books.
Carly always writes a good story!
Oh my goodness! This book was so good! The characters were great! Carly Phillips never disappoints.
Olivia and Dylan are a long shot in this story. Olivia has a hard time not running from her past and Dylan is determined to keep pursuing her until she realizes they have something real… Enjoyed this read.
Love this new steamy genre by favorite author Carly phillips!
Great read with characters that we have met before – book stands alone but is more fun to read if you’ve read the previous Dare books.
Another great story from the Dare Family. Love this series.
Olivia has some issues with getting close to a man, largely due to her father and his treatment of her and her siblings. She was getting too involved with Dylan and backed away.
Dylan didn’t understand and he’s not one to give up easily. He’s determined to break down Olivia’s walls. He loves her and isn’t going anywhere a point he makes very clear at her birthday party and the day after.
This relationship has a lot of ups and downs even as the two of them deal with a young player and his interfering family at the Pro Bowl.
Lots of romance, some suspense and plenty of heat will keep you turning the pages.
This is the story of Olivia Dare & Dylan Rhodes. Olivia has deep raw issues and is mentally scarred and is living in the past. Dylan has overcome his issues from his past and wants a relationship with Olivia. It is a long road for them both; him being as patient as he can, and she trying to move forward. Things happen that give Olivia insight on the way she has been acting and tries to start correcting it. Steamy scenes are in this story. This is a very good read and realistic, too. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
This was an amazing book- I love this author!
The Dare Series is 1 of my favorites. I have read all 6 books and hope that there are more to come.
Love all her books. Hot!
I look forward to Carly Phillips’ new releases because she is a consistently excellent writer, creating sexy but imperfect heroes. Can’t wait for her next!
Dare to Touch is the 5th book in the Dare to Love Series and IMO it is another success.
This book is the story of Olivia Dare, executive director and Dylan Rhodes, travel director of the Miami Thunder football team. From the first moment these two met there was chemistry but Liv kept putting him off until finally on the night of her birthday party Dylan shows his hand by giving her a special gift along with an overwhelming kiss.
Olivia has abandonment issues and thinks she is never important enough for the men in her life to stick around. With heart to heart talks with her sisters she gives Dylan a chance. They have a lot in common, open communication and hot, steamy sex. But Dylan gets impatient at waiting for her to overcome her issues, he wants it all…Liv, a house with a picket fence, a dog and kids. He is bound and determined that he will make her see that she wants the same things as him.
Loved the book. Loved the characters.
