Dare is a new imprint published by Mills and Boon. Launching in January 2018, the books are "erotically charged", "sexually explicit" and "passionate". The hero and heroine have a powerful sexually charged emotional connection. Alpha Males are the heroes who can be anything from CEO billionaires to gritty heroes/anti-heroes. The heroines are independent, fun, fearless and empowered. They do not need a man in their lives, he is just an enjoyable extra! The stories are contemporary, with real life challenges and situations. The settings can be anywhere from London, the Amalfi Coast to the Caribbean. A new Dare novel is released every two weeks.
A Week To Be Wild was released on the 25 January 2018 and is currently 99p (normally £3.99) to be read on either on Kindle or the Bluefire app. The Bluefire app is now used to read books purchased via the Mills & Boon website. Alex Lancaster is the sexy, adrenaline junkie, thrill seeking British billionaire. Libby Noble is a successful marketing guru who has sworn off men after a romance soured. Alex wants Lobby to help him establish a disability charity in memory of his sister. The charity is to provide employment opportunities and help those who need it get the most out of life. Although Libby loves and works great n America she agrees to travel to the UK for a few days to help set the new charity up. There is a strong physical attraction from the monent they meet. A few days morphe in to a week - hence the title of the novel. Alex persuades Libby to agree to an uncomplicated week of hot, no strings sex. Problems arise when other feelings start to develop between the pair and Libby decides to bolt back to the US.
The book and presumably the whole Dare series is certainly more graphic, explicitly sexy and certainly steamy in places! I am think if I still worked in a book shop I would put them in between Blace Lace books and Mills &Boon Modern as they try to combine the two genres. I thought this novel was just okay. There were a lot of themes in this book - both main characters had emotional baggage they had to work through, the disability angle showed the problems disabled people face in all areas of their lives, how this was impacts upon their families and also pushes the boundaries in terms of how explicit and graphic the sex scenes will be. I struggled to finish the book. I found bed it hard to connect with the characters and I found the dialogue between Libby and Alex to be stilted and lacking emotion. The second half of the book was easier to get through. The characters were more developed as their back stories and emotional baggage was brought to the fore. It will be interesting to seee how M&B develop this series and how it meshes with their other series.
