Excerpt:
“Happy birthday, Olivia,” a familiar masculine voice drawled in her ear. She shivered at the sound, all her senses prickling with awareness as Dylan Rhodes’s warm breath heated her skin.
She turned to find him close. Too close, and her pulse picked up speed. Sexy chocolate-brown eyes gazed at her. And his close-cut goatee teased her with its nearness. In her dreams, that sexy goatee felt delicious against her bared flesh.
Jesus, Olivia, get a grip.
“Thanks for coming to the party.” Her voice came out too husky for her liking, but Dylan always had this kind of effect on her. He was the travel director with the Miami Thunder, her co-worker, and the man she’d lusted after from the day they’d met.
“I’m glad your sister invited me.”
She wished Avery hadn’t insisted on throwing her a party, but now that it was nearly over, Olivia had had a wonderful time and was grateful her mom and her siblings, half and full, cared enough to attend the event. Friends and co-workers too.
Especially Dylan.
He studied her beneath his hooded gaze. “I wouldn’t miss your celebration.” He tucked a wayward strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers trailing a path over her cheek in what was a deliberate, lingering touch.
She shivered; her traitorous nipples puckered at his light caress. This was more than the flirting dance they normally did. There was intent in his coffee-colored stare.

My Review:
Dare to Touch by Carly PhillipsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dare to Touch by Carly Phillips is the fifth book in her Dare To Love series. An absolutely phenomenal romance series about the Dare family and their uber-interesting lives.
Anyone familiar with the series will have seen, and hoped for, this story coming since the inception of the series. Both Olivia and Dylan have painful pasts and demons. Olivia is perfectly fine keeping her demons under wraps and her past deeply buried. Dylan is determined to change that. He wants Olivia and he's in it for the long haul. Now he just has to convince her he's not going anywhere.
Throw in some scorchingly hot, panty-melting love scenes, add some intrigue and suspense, top with a dose of awesome writing skill and you have yet another great book. Carly Phillips has bceome an auto-buy author for me.
