Synopsis:


New York Times Bestselling Author Carly Phillips turns up the heat in her newest sexy contemporary romance series, and introduces you to the Dare family… siblings shaped by a father’s secrets and betrayal.

Since finding out his father had another family on the side, Ian Dare swore to be the upstanding, responsible man his cheating parent had never been. When it comes to his relatives, he gives his all but in relationships he offers the bare minimum. But one glimpse of sensual Riley Taylor arouses his dominant and protective instincts and Ian is entranced. He will do anything to possess her … and does. But any future with Riley must include him extending an olive branch to the half-brother who is a constant reminder of the pain he’d rather forget.

Independent and always in control, Riley Taylor makes no apologies for choosing men carefully. Relationships have never been a priority and she believes herself hardened to domineering men – until she meets charismatic Ian Dare. He manages to turn a simple kiss into an all out assault on her senses and when he takes control in the bedroom, she’s stunned to discover she likes it. As their affair heats up, they soon realize they complete each other in ways neither imagined. But Riley’s past is closer than she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian’s dominance might just cost her everything.


My Opinions:


*4.5 Stars*
I started reading this book when I was in an off-set kind of mood and it was during my AP testing week so I had to skip some days to study for that but overall, I finished this book like two weeks later and I love it so freakin' much. I also want to read more about the Dare families like the half-brothers and sisters of Ian because they are so interesting and I want to get to know them better. 

Riley Taylor has only two people that she could depend on in her life and she considered those people her family no matter what happens because they were the ones who protected her when she needed them the most. Having her step-mother, Melissa, and best friend, Alex, with her is the one thing that made her feel like her life is complete. I love Riley's character in this story so much because of how independent she was and doesn't need a guy to tell her what she needs or what she wants. However, her organized and stable life began to change the moment she met Ian Dare, one of Alex's half-brothers, first she lost the job that she worked so hard to reach her high position and now she is fired and had to look for a job where she can start over. I love it when Riley was offered a job to work at Ian's company at a stable position when she lost her job. 

Ian Dare had always went from one woman to the next after they satisfied his desire and needs, he would kick them out and make them feel dirty and humiliated. All this feelings and trust for a person left the day that he and his family found out about their father's other family which was why he had never put his trust into the woman that he slept with until he met Riley the night of his father's family party where everything started to change. I love how in every romance book there's a trope where the characters had face or dealt with a painful past that would cause him or her to have to learn to trust the other person so that they could spend the rest of their life together. I also enjoy reading this book in a third person point of view because it feel like I am the one watching the whole scene instead of actually reading through the point of view of one of the characters. However even though this was a great story, I was really confuse with the relationship between the characters when they learned and started to love each other and decided that it was time for them understand and get to know each other. 

Overall, this was a great read and I can't wait to actually start reading the second book in this series with Alex, a football player, and Madison, one of Riley's therapist.
