Dare to Rock

I love Carly Phillips! This is a wonderful read! I took a chance and ordered this, even though I would rather have the physical book in hand, and am delighted with it. Great characters, steamy love, and a lot of heart! All the reasons I have loved Carly's work for forever!

    Plot and Story Line 
  
 
Dare to Rock is the seventh installment, this series the "Dare to Love" is based on the Dare family. Dare to Rock is a rocker romance, but a bit different than most rock star romances. In this book, it begins with the scene where Avery comes to Grey's show. Grey wanted Avery at his concert and he wanted to see her again, but when a crazy groupie is all over him despite his efforts to push her away, Avery sees everything and runs away from it and the life he lives. Then it skips to the current time, where Avery and Grey have been living their own lives. Grey has made an effort to keep in touch with Avery, give her unique and special gifts and wants her back. Avery is afraid, mostly because of her past. She suffers from panic attacks. Avery when she was nine learned a truth that her father had an affair with another woman and kids and wanted Avery to donate her bone marrow for a sister who had cancer. Avery did so and took it in stride, but all the press was horrid and she never fully healed, and never confronted her father about her true feelings about the past. We have an additional element in the story...the crazed fan. We see the element of intrigue and danger increase while Avery and Grey are relearning each other and building a new trust again. The sex scenes are plenty, yet sexy and fun.
I realize I left you once, but I promise never again. And I know I'm not a bargain, and I bring with me more hassle than you need or want in your life, but I love you. I want to take care of you, to have fun with you, and to be by your side for the rest of my life.
 

These two tend to be very playful with each other and I liked how they responded so well to each other. What I also enjoyed was the Dare family...the siblings, they were fun to get to know and the differing personalities was very unique. Even though this is the 7th book, it can definitely be read as a stand alone.
 
  
    The Cover 
  
 
What I like about the cover for this one is the black and white hues, with the yellow lettering. The pose is sexy and enticing.
