Ready for a sneak peek of DARE TO TAKE? Tyler Dare is being unleashed to the world on 5/3, but until then, I want to give you a little taste of Tyler Dare:

Tyler broke into a sweat. "Don't you have clothes?" he barked out.

"Would I be dressed in this if I did? My clothes are grimy from the hospital. Do you have a tee shirt or something I can borrow?" Her cheeks were flushed a pretty pink, and she had a death grip on the top of the towel, looking more vulnerable than sexy, and he cursed under his breath.

Once again, he was being an ass. "Let me look in my duffle." He searched through his bag, using the time to get himself under control before turning to her with a tee shirt in hand.
"Here." He hoped the shirt was long enough so he'd stop thinking about what was underneath ... especially since he knew she wasn't wearing underwear.

I am a fan of the romance series where each book features a family member and their struggle to find, or give in to, their one true love. Dare to Take by Carly Phillips is a book in such a series. Dare to Take is the last book in the Dare to Love series and the first book I’ve read not only in the series but by this author. It is a good book in fact, I like it enough to go back and purchase the first two books. I learn enough of the family, but not too much to take away from Tyler and Ella, that I really want the back story for the other brothers and sisters in the Dare family.

Tyler Dare is the baby of the Dare family and a bit of a rebel in the family’s eyes. He turned away from the family business and joined the army. He lives with the notion that he failed his family and a good army friend something that often make him a runner when things go wrong.

Now that Tyler is home, permanently, he starts his own security firm, a natural fit for him. It gives him the opportunity to use skills perfected in the military and job opportunities for some of his army buddies. For all his faults Tyler is loyal even if he doesn’t see it. Instead he lives with all the bad decisions he made and believes they make him a bad choice in the romance department.

Ella Shaw is Avery Dare’s best friend. She is a regular part of their family since they met as children at a hospital donating bone marrow to siblings. She is included in Dare family activities and loves Tyler Dare. What the family doesn’t know is that Ella and Tyler had a one night stand years ago and it didn’t end well. They are civil, sort of, to each other when necessary but they both have regrets.

Ella finds herself stranded on a tropical island with a major hurricane heading her way and to make matters worse she is mugged and transported to the emergency room. Avery pleads with Tyler to go help Ella and make sure she gets home safe. The rendezvous set the couple up to start dealing with the past and test the waters for a future.

I like the way Ms. Phillips develops these characters with many layers. She puts them in interesting situations that require the characters to address their personal issues and move forward as a couple. I didn’t have any problem reading the book out of order. It works as a standalone novel. WARNING: If you haven’t read the other books in the series, you will get enough of a taste of the other Dare siblings (and a cousin in the NY Dare series) that you will need to read their stories too—at least I do.

There are some predictable moments but the overall storyline is quite enjoyable and holds the reader’s interest. Ms. Phillips has a smooth writing style that allows the reader to feel the characters’ hurt, fear of rejection, fear of not being enough, and the joy and love both characters have to offer. I recommend Dare to Take if you want a good romance.
