Dare to Love by Carly Phillips Book Summary

She arouses his dominant and protective instincts
And he will do anything to possess her …
And does.

When billionaire Ian Dare gets one glimpse of the sensual and irresistible Riley Taylor, he knows that he must have her. But any future he might have with Riley means he’ll have to confront his past—a past he’d rather forget. And that’s something this NFL team owner won’t dare to do—not even for love.

I want to see more of Dare men on the cover. Show more of the Dare men on cover. Hey, this was a get book. I am glad , I read it. Ian totally alpha. Sigh. Now what’s her face , she kinda got on my nerves. She wasn’t interesting. Wanna get more into the series but not paying $5 for 200 pages. Looking to Avery & the rock star.

Easy and refreshing. The story flows with interesting and captivating characters that will keep you engrossed until the end,

Could have been better…. The story seemed to have been very rushed. It lacked romance/desire in the way it was written. Will not being paying for the additional books in the series.

Nope. In terms of the relationships that the author attempts to portray in this book, it’s clear that this author has no idea what she’s talking about. Very ignorant and convoluted. Thank God this first one was free.

Dare to Love. A great book

Dare to love. Really good book!

Dare to Love. I have enjoyed all the Dare series so far but this is a particular favorite. A lot of heart, love, and romance.

Love the Dare's. Family drama, Emotional history and Huge trust issues are just a few of the obstacles they must overcome if they really want a peaceful future. Extremely entertaining late-night read that draws you in and does not let go. Ian is the oldest Dare sibling he is also wicked smart and total alpha male completely in control of every aspect of his world (or so it seems). He is so not looking for everlasting love (since in his opinion it is not real). Loved every heart pounding twist and turn on this emotional journey to self-discovery and personal growth leading to their possible future. Excited to read more about the rest of the family.

Dare to Love. Great read! I love the way Ms. Phillips showed characters with real life insecurities derived from childhood and how they affect us as life pro- gresses. So real. I especially liked an epilogue. Lots of writers today don't have them anymore and leave us wondering what the future was. As always, Ms. Phillips has a wonderful story. I feel like I know the characters.

Carly Phillips has done it again. "Dare to Love" is well crafted with wonderful character developmen. Carly Phillips has done it again. "Dare to Love" is well crafted with wonderful character development. From beginning to end, the story is as funny as it is hot. The author knows just when to add humor and when put it all on out there. Definitely an adult read. Way to amp it up Phillips! The chemistry sizzles from their first encounter, and only gets hotter with each turn of the page. Ian wants Riley from first sight, but despite enjoying women does have a code he follows — don't mess with someone else's woman, especially a family member's — and he doesn't do relationships. Not only do these two lonely soles with scarred hearts, daddy issues (justifiably so) and more walls to keep people out than Jericho grow together, more so with each encounter, they grow personally as well. Despite instant attraction, Ian and Riley don't instantly jump in the sack. Their connection mounts along with their unrequited sexual tension before they have to have that connection. Love that their voyage wasn't all smooth sailing. Like real life, this pair faced many obstacles, personal and as they grow closer as a couple. Trust doesn't come easy to either, and both hit roadblocks along the way, emotional landmines triggering doubt from past hurt. This book also addresses infidelity and domestic abuse. Although neither is described graphically, the long reaching impact of each are important factors to Ian and Taylor's story. Phillips handles both beautifully within the contest of this book. Phillips knows how to best turn a phrase to maximize its impact. For instance, instead of saying he couldn't stand to hurt her, Phillips writes, "The thought of putting any kind of pain in those blue eyes was like slicing his own skin." She takes the ordinary and makes it live, you feel what the characters do. Love that she pretty much nails the male attitude toward too. Once I started, I couldn't put "Dare to Love" down. Can't wait for the next book in Phillips' first indie series (Dare to Love), "Dare to Desire." I totally fell in love with other members of the Dare clan.

So Cute!!!. This story was so capturing. I love how the characters chemistry flowed throughout the book.

Wow!. I enjoy the way Carly Phillips does her story telling. Characters that demonstrate that showing your feelings is not a weakness but a strength. They will have you feeling all kinds of emotions when the past catches up to their present. A rollercoaster of passion and desire. Get those hand fans out because this book is full of pure fire. *wink *wink

Great read couldn't put it down. A really great story with lots of passion. Very well developed characters and story line, lots of depth. I stayed up all night couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read Alex and Madison's story!!

Dare to love. A veritable quilt of plots put together... could use a little more editing... I wouldn’t call this a strong heroine. She makes some less than Intelligent choices. And her mom just took beatings from her father, putting her own daughter’s life in danger and never once going to the police????? Really?????? Ugh, wasted my time

Immersive. I loved it! Very similar to 50 Shades of Grey, a little bit of drama, danger, lots of sex and so much love involved. I love the characters and the family story. Beautiful and breath taken.

Dare to love. Great book.

Carly Phillips' Turns Up the Heat. Carly Phillips is an auto-buy for me. I just love her books. She has really turned up the heat on this one and I really enjoyed it. The hero, Ian Dare and the heroine, Riley Taylor both have some serious issues from the past. They both want to control everything in their lives because of things that happened in the past. It was enjoyable watching these two learn how to give up some of that control they needed to cope. I loved all of the other characters, especially Ian's half brother, Alex. Such a great storyline with these characters and I can't wait to learn more about each of Ian's siblings and half siblings. All in all great story with great characters. My only complaint would be that it was shorter in length than a usual Carly book and since I love Carly's books I wished it went on longer! ;)

Great. Great book

Dare to love. I found the book to be excellent with a good background of understanding different aspects of family's having trouble in their lives. I would recommend this book for all to read to understand the trust issuers of being in involved with problems like these families had. Over all an excellent story. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more of your works.

Dare to love. By Carly Phillips So so so good! Just another reach out and grab you so you can’t put it down kinda read! Bookbub

Interesting. Enjoyed this book. Thank you! Free books that don’t end in a cliffhanger are very welcome. I skipped most of the sex pages.

Dare to Love. The attraction sizzles between Ian and Riley in this sexy romance. I like how they both have serious trust issues that stem from their fathers and how they try to navigate the tricky path to forever. The Dare siblings are an interesting bunch with a unconventional story that will keep you coming back for more.

Dare to love. I almost gave up on reading. Glad I finished I loved it.

Captivating. Kept me glued to my screen. It’s that GOOD.

Consuming Read. What an adorable fun read this book was the plot was intriguing and consuming along with romance the main characters experience. I admire how much the main characters grew individually and together working through their separate issues along with learning from one another. I love the different perspectives it makes getting to know the characters more deeply and easy. The supporting characters were great and I felt getting to know them was fair they had equal time and were not forgotten. A must read and glad it's a series.

Date to Love. I enjoyed this hot and steamy romance novel! It made me want to go out and find me an Ian or to go out and be seen by Alex! Mmm Mm!

Dare to Love. I love this book from the beginning to the end. I'm on to the next one from this collection. Can't wait to see the ending.

Dare to Love by Carly Phillips. I have just finished reading this book from an advanced copy from the author. Carly Phillips keeps you glued to the pages with her characters and the story opening up on each and every page. Ian Dare is a strong and powerful man...a bit scary but oh so sexy also. Riley Taylor is hiding a secret only her and her best friend know. Read this book and you won't be disappointed. I have never been disappointed by a Carly Phillips book yet!

Love. Love the Dares forgot to review Ian oops. What an oversight. I loved the book and the whole family!!!!! Must read

soooooo good. hot hot hot!!!!! couldn't put it down!!! can't wait to read the rest of the series

Eh. Overall, good read. But, How many times were Ian and Riley going to have the same fight... Blah blah blah

Wow!! Totally worth downloading. Great book! Keeps you intrigued till the last page!! I want more!!! :)

Dare you to read. I loved the book!!!! I read it twice and it’s still my favorite out of this series. The love story and passion, not to mention the pot of events leading up to their engagement/ happy ever after. I wish their story would continue like the small Christmas short book that recently came out. Love it. Highly recommend it.

Great story. Riley is my kind if girl.

Seriously?. Could not get through the first few pages. The quick jump into a sexual situation between two strangers was a turn off as was the family drama.

Enchanting love story!<3. I loved this book. Beautiful love story! <3 I could not put it down!

Amazing start to a fantastic series!!!. From the moment they met, the sparks flew. Ian Dare and Riley Taylor were explosive together! The only one that didn't want them together was Riley's best friend and Ian's half brother, Alex Dare. Alex and Ian had different mothers and very different relationships with their father. They also didn't care for one another, until they had Riley in common. Ghosts from her past resurface and Ian and Alex must work together to try and save her. Fantastic story! Two wounded souls with different tragic pasts. Ian Dare is gorgeous, sexy alpha male dominant, and willing to do just about anything for Riley. What a man! I think I found my next book boyfriend! Riley is a strong, independent, beautiful woman who is learning that she is afraid of and at the same time, likes Ian's dominant side. Perfect! I love the amazing friendship Riley has with Alex. I am so happy that there might be a little fence mending in the Dare family soon. I can't wait to read the next book and see what's going on with Alex and Madison. Thank you Carly Phillips for such an amazing read!

Dare To Love. Ian and Riley’s story is fast paced and passionate with a little bit of conflict. No slow burn for them. This is what makes me interested in a romance book. It definitely had me. Really enjoyed it.

This Book Rocks!. Dare to Love is a fun, flirty, sexy romp. This couple has more walls and hurdles to jump than a steeplechase course, but the journey is worth it. Once again, Ms. Phillips writes a great book that leaves you with a smile and a hunger for more of her books!

Dare to Love. This is one of my favorite books, I just loved Ian! He is the protector for his mom and his siblings and soon becomes one for Riley! Can't wait for the next book! Just love the ending!

I would recommend reading something else. This book moves slow. It took me awhile to finish it, because it just didn’t captivate me enough to want to read it.

Dare to read!. A wonderful book to read. Sexy as hell! A challenge for the 3 people to trust and get along. A must read

Really good. I loved the story. It’s great writing but definitely a slow burn so to speak. I’m still excited to read the rest and dive more into the Dare family affairs.

Enjoyed. Really enjoyed. Looking forward to the next one

Basic psychology overload!. Some stories have a psychological aspect... This one is just the author trying to hide heaps of psychology in a story... and forgetting to add the story. It's not the worst book I've ever read, but it certainly isn't good.

Loved it. Oh wow, I’m not sure why I waited so long to read this book but I’m so glad I finally did. Author Carly Phillips has a way with sexy heat, her writing remind me a lot of Shayla Black & Lexi Blake the way she winds the characters around each other, that their connection is so strong you don’t know where one starts & the other ends. Ian & Riley ignited the moment they met & they never cooled off throughout the entire book. Control & trust issues at the forefront of their relationship seemed to take a backseat as they sizzled page after page. It was fascinating watching Ian slowly change, altering his tendencies for utter control & giving some over to Riley as their relationship grew. Trust was Riley’s problem with good reason & it wasn’t easy for her to put her trust in Ian. I also enjoyed how Riley had started the mending of the animosity between Ian & her best friend, his half brother Alex. The drama & angst of this book was perfect, it kept me interested from start to finish....I couldn’t put it down. Already onto book 2 in the series. Definitely recommend.

Hot & Relatable. Fell for the characters and the rest of the Dare family. Can't wait to read the other books in the series. The story was sexy and sad simultaneously. Really liked the character development as the story evolved.

Dare to love. Enjoyed the book - look forward to the next one in the spring. Will definitely buy it and future books on the series. Family interesting enough to write quite a few books about them.
