Dare to Touch
Carly Phillips
Release Date: January 13, 2015
Blurb:
Olivia Dare, executive director of the Miami Thunder, and team travel director
Dylan Rhodes share more than just a passion for football. Their chemistry is
explosive -- their feelings for each other intense. Yet Olivia has ended things
for reasons he still can’t fathom and she won’t explain.
Unwilling to let something special go so
easily, Dylan has been pursuing Olivia ever since. When the Pro-Bowl takes them
to the tropical paradise of Hawaii, Dylan is determined to make sure their time
together isn’t all business. What happens in paradise is life altering but once
Olivia admits her deepest secret and fear, will Dylan still want the forever
he’s been pushing for?

Excerpt:
Olivia woke up in the big bed in the suite she shared with Dylan. She recalled their evening and how he’d carried her back to the room, ignoring the catcalls and whistles of people as they’d walked. Honestly, she’d been so exhausted she hadn’t cared.
She rolled onto her back to find his dark eyes watching her.
“Everything good?” he asked.
She didn’t blame him. She had a tendency to pull away, but she had no intention of doing so this morning. “I’m good.” She crawled closer. “Very, very good.”
She was sore in the best possible ways, a gorgeous man had gone out of his way to make her night special, and to make sure she’d come quite a few times… Yeah, she was more than good!
He smiled in obvious relief.
“So what’s on today’s agenda?” she asked.
“We have the day free. Breakfast?”
She nodded. They ended up sharing a shower, which delayed getting to breakfast, because Dylan’s definition of getting clean involved a whole lot of getting dirty first. With the hot water streaming over them and her arms braced against the wall, he still managed to snag a condom and to take her from behind, filling her up and giving her another experience she’d never forget.

Tell us a little about DARE TO TOUCH
and why readers should check it out.
First,
DARE TO TOUCH, as with all the DARE books, stands alone if you are coming to
the series for the first time. You can read Olivia and Dylan easily and then go
back and check out the other stories in the series. Because I am moving around
from sibling to sibling, you can definitely find a loose connection, a revisit
with siblings and favorites, along with its own story.
That
said, DARE TO TOUCH, like all the books, examines how a father’s betrayal (in
this case a second family no one knew about) impacts each child’s life … Olivia
comes to romance reluctantly and with a lot of trepidation. Dylan knows what he
wants – and he’s determined to wait her out … it’s a seductive dance set in the
background of the Pro Bowl in Arizona along with life in Miami. It’s hot, it’s
sexy and it’s emotional.
What inspired you to write the DARE
TO LOVE series?
I
knew I wanted a series with a lot of characters … and when I said that to my
plotting partners, one of my brilliant friends came up with the father with
another family, giving me siblings, half-siblings, betrayal, jealousy, bonding
… everything I could want. Add in some sports (which I love writing about) and family dynamics along with
making the series edgier than anything I’ve written before (sexually) and I
couldn’t wait to dive in.
Do you have a favorite book or author
you like to recommend?
I
read so much, so fast, I couldn’t possibly name them all. If I start, I’ll
leave someone out … but … here are SOME
and apologies to the ones I don’t mention but do love – Kit Rocha, Shayla
Black, Lexi Blake/Sophie Oak, Kelly Jamieson, Nalini Singh’s Psy series, Juliana
Stone, Claudia Connor’s newest … clearly I’m a mostly erotic romance reader!
What is your guilty pleasure?
Besides
reading? Chocolate!
Favorite meal?

If you weren’t a writer, what would
you be?
There’s
something else besides writing? J
If you could travel through time,
what time period would you visit?
I’d
go to … ack. I wouldn’t. Because much as I love historical romance, I need
showers and air conditioning. I was going to say Middle Ages because I loved
reading those romances when I first started writing … but yeah. I think I’d
have a real issue with the bathing thing.
