Title: Double Dare |
Abby Douglas is a modern woman in every sense of the word. She thrives on her job as an investment advisor, rejoices in her femininity and loves to indulge her sexual side and desires. Then one day she meets dark and dangerous club owner Zac Bordino, and on the spur of the moment she takes on a new identity and pretends to be a receptionist, because from past experience she knows that most men run in the opposite direction the minute they hear of her profession. What started as an impulsive and adventurous game soon becomes serious, as Abby and Zac not only relish in nights full of passion and thrilling challenges but also fall deeply in love. Yet Abby doesn’t know that she’s the brains behind Zac’s mother's company and daily communicates with him to discuss future investments. When everything comes to a head, Zac schedules a business meeting, hoping that the love they feel for each other is more powerful than past misconceptions...
Double Dare is definitely the best story I’ve read this year. Ms. Walker’s writing style fondly reminds me of Emma Holly’s books at her best times.
The heroine Abby is allowed to be modern and self-confident in her sexuality, she takes what she desires, without questioning her morality and society’s standards. She isn’t coy and doesn’t play games; proud of her accomplishments, she also reflects a very realistic personality and is three-dimensionally characterized. On the other hand, Abby doesn’t take sex callously or indiscriminately, she isn’t the slut who chooses men at random, but when her interest is picked, she dares herself to go after it. Zack is the ideal partner and lover for Abby. He isn’t one of those possessive-obsessive, raging beasts that seem so common in today’s romance books. Nevertheless, he is a true alpha male and enjoys every second of it. Zac’s manliness comes subtly and naturally, it doesn’t overwhelm but rather entice Abby to submit to him and to lay her pleasure into his hands.
Without revealing too much, I also would like to mention that Ms. Walker did a great job in finalizing this love-story. No big misunderstanding at the end of the book, no fist fights and childish shouting. The happy-end is as satisfying as the rest of this book.
I safely stored my ARC copy on my PC, but I already ordered “the real deal” online to add it to my keeper-shelf, because this book shouldn’t be missed!
