I enjoyed this story a lot. Brooke was a bit naïve but a strong determined-to-succeed woman. Her past colored how she viewed men, but her heart allowed her to see beyond to the right person. Declan was a man trying to prove himself yet he had a morale compass that he followed. Despite the ups and downs of their relationship, these two made a wonderful couple, and I loved them. I look forward to the next story in this series.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Who can you trust? Brooke knew that one day she would take over her family’s winery and learn everything she needed to know from her father but unfortunately fate had other plans. Now she is dependent upon the man controlling the finances, Matt, who gives her a bad vibe. Declan has been working for his family’s business with aspirations of one day heading up the entire company. However, he has to convince his father that he is a better man than his brother for the position. When Brooke and Declan realize that there are bad seeds in the mix, each tries to weed out the rot and begin to plant again. From the first page the author lures the reader into a fast paced, emotional, steamy, action packed storyline filled with twists and turns. The attraction between Declan and Brooke is felt in every pore of one’s body. The sly cunning of Matt is portrayed as an obsessed stalker with a sense of entitlement and superiority. I highly recommend this suspenseful romance that will keep any reader on the edge of his/her seat until the final word is read. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
This was my first Danielle Pays’s book, and won’t be my last. This is the first book in the Dare to Risk Series. This is a great and well written romantic suspense. The storyline is action packed, and filled with twists and turns. The main characters are great, and the secondary characters are interesting. I love the ending. I enjoyed reading this story, and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for Pursued, Katie’s story.
This a great book that has wonderfully written and engaging characters with a storyline that flowed smoothly.

The author was new to me, but I was pleasantly surprised. She can create a world that I am totally engrossed in by her words and situations she presents on paper. The characters were amazing with real, relatable pasts. The plots were attention-getting because you feel for the men, hope the woman makes the right choice, and what an ending! The suspense was on target as well. It was a tale of twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The way she does the three people point of view was done masterfully! This will be an author I read all of her books!
These three are intertwined and in a bad way. Brooke, Matt and Declan are all intertwined by their jobs. When things go bad, one wants revenge. Brooks must be able to find out the truth and choose it quickly. The clock is ticking!!
This is book one in the Dare to Risk series. I enjoyed meeting Brooke and moving through her story with her. Brooke has pictured herself working for her families winery, maybe even running it one day but she never expected it would be after her parents pass suddenly and she has not had nearly enough time to learn everything involved. Brooke has two men that are trying to influence her, the accountant (Matt)that she is not she should trust him completely and then there is the landlord (Declan). Brooke has to learn to go with her gut and to trust it in the decisions that she is faced to make. But can she? What happens when she finds instant attraction to one of these men? There is a few twists and turns in this story that definitely keep it rolling. This was an entertaining read and I am definitely interested in what the series holds, see where it goes.

It’s love at first sight for Brooke & Declan but they really don’t know who the other is. When they do it’s on for young & old. Add in a weirdo & obsessed accountant Matt & it turns out to be a comedy of errors for this couple. While Matt plods along he does his best to intimidate the playboy Declan. Poor guy finally finds a decent girl & everything is blowing up in his face! So who really is the one who has it in for Brooke? There’s a few with ulterior motives all wanting to get their hands on the winery. I think there’s more baddies in this than good guys!
At times this was suspenseful, add in the chemistry of our couple, a bit of an air head in Brooke & a bumbling Declan & it makes for a good tale. Seriously Matt was creepy!
