Dare Me is an anthology with three tense sexy tales.

Cherry Adair's Playing For Keeps has flight attendant Danica Cross on a special flight. This flight carries the family of the President of San Cristobel. After a crash landing her soon to be ex Jon Raven rushes to her side. Something fishy is going on in San Cristobel forcing Danica and Jon to work together to get out alive.

Her ex has cleaned her out and now she finds out that he is the same man Will is hunting. These two form a partnership to bring this scumbag down.

Dare To Desire by Julie Elizabeth Leo. Macy Rush is ready to close the deal on a house she must have. But an agent and former lover, Dante Burke has beaten her to the house. They both need to find a code hidden in this house to advert a disaster. Since the house is Dante's he makes a deal with Macy, she can only search a room after they make love in it.

Each story is a page-turner. Loved the hot sizzle between each couple. This anthology is a winner.

Okay--I've died and gone to heaven. ALL THREE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS TOGETHER IN ONE BOOK!!! What more could a girl want in the middle of a Montana winter. HEAT!! and more HEAT!! and this book delivers!! Alpha-males who think they can do anything (and are usually right). Alpha-females who can take care of themselves (and usually do). Add steamy sex and three good stories and you have this book. Most anthologies usually have one or two stories I don't like. Not this one. Loved them all. Thanks Ladies and thanks Penguin for publishing this--lets do it again REAL SOON!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Anthology!!!, February 18, 2005

Ms. Adair is headliner for one good anthology that fans of the romantic suspense genre will not want to miss. She is joined by Jill Shalvis and Julie Elizabeth Leto two ladies that can indeed hold their own when it comes to penning romantic yet suspenseful stories. Although these are short stories the reader will not be left feeling short changed.

In "Playing for Keeps" Danica Cross and Jon Raven are given a second chance at love. Dani is a flight attendant and the plane that she is on crashes. It turns out that the plane was sabotaged in order to kill the President of South America's child and cabinet that were passengers as well. The last thing that Dani thinks of when the plane crashes is of her soon to be ex-husband. Jon Raven is scared to death when he finds out that Dani has been in a plane crash. He moves heaven and earth to find her and tracks her back down to South America where she has been taken by the Presidents people. Why has she been secreted out of the United States, and why is Jon being kept from her? The answers are almost more than they want to hear but while they are on the run they realize that they still love each other and that this is not going to end with a divorce.

In "Nothing to Loose" Jade is an antiques dealer that has tangled with the wrong man. He has stolen from her and he has killed in the past. Her life is about to cross with Will Malone. Tomas has killed his sister Wendy and this DEA agent has spent the last six months tracking this killer. He will get justice. When he follows him to Jade's doorstep he is not prepared for what happens next. Before he knows it, they are an unlikely pair working together. What he doesn't expect is the play acting turning real. Will they be able to catch a killer and still find a happy ending?

In "Dare to Desire" secret agent Dante Burke has his work cut out for him. He is on a life or death mission and it all rests on the success of a blackmailing scheme. Macy has tangled with Dante before. The last time left her reputation in tatters. Is she willing to tangle with the handsome Dante again? Or better question will she be able to survive with her heart in tacked if she does tangle with him?

All three stories were page turners. This is always a gift when it comes to these types of books. I can honestly say that none of the stories were weak or better than another. I highly recommend this book and suggest that you check out any of the back lists that these authors have.
