Harlequin DARE, a new romance series featuring strong, independent women and sizzling hot heroes. Harlequin DARE stories push the boundaries of sexual explicitness while keeping the focus on the developing romantic relationship.
Libby Noble is done with men who live on the edge, but sexy British billionaire Alex coaxes her out of her comfort zone—professionally and very personally! She’ll agree to play his game…but only by her rules!
I don’t even remember the last time that I read a Mills & Boon book – but I’d make a guess of it having been 20plus years ago. Wow, they’ve changed, haven’t they!
But the basics are the same really in all “romance” stories and this is no different. Yes, the female is a strong, modern woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid of asking, or demanding it.
The story is actually gripping. Libby and Alex meet at a conference and Libby is attracted to Alex immediately but she has given men a wide birth for about 3 years. However, Libby agrees to a no strings week of crazy monkey sex with Alex with the plan of going back to her usual life and business in America once it’s all over and done with.
There are parts in the story that are quite hot and sexually explicit. Not quite 50 shades graphic but certainly not as tame as the Mills & Boon’s of the past.
I was pleasantly surprised but I honestly don’t think I’d read further from the Dare series. Purely because I still felt that there was something lacking in the sexual descriptions. This though is more to do with me than the actual book.
I don’t doubt that this is going to fly off the shelves.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
