Ohmygosh!! I have really enjoyed this series so far.This was Decklan and Amanda's story. They both have some pretty major issues and start out meeting in a odd situation at a BDSM club. Amanda is looking for something, something that I don't think she even knows for sure what it is, but with the use of her best friend/bosses private plane she keeps coming back to this BDSM club. She gets off on the submission, but never actually goes through with the actual intercourse because every man she's with she can't let herself go there with. But when one dude won't take no for an answer Decklan, who has been watching Amanda from afar and wanting her for a while, but wouldn't give into himself, he finally steps in, and for him there is no going back until he haves her. Oddly enough, Amanda had been wanting Decklan to approach her too just as bad, but no way would she have ever came to him. So, Decklan and Amanda decide one night together, that's it. But with a one night stand like the one they had, they both realize one night will never be quiet enough. I still stand by that Gabe's story was my fave of the series so far, but wow Decklan was one hot mofo, lol. Sadly he is what made the whole story in my opinion...Now don't get me wrong, I'm a female, I totally know what it's like to be insecure. I think every single female known to man is insecure about SOMETHING, but I tend to love a strong, witty, smart female lead, and in my opinion Amanda just wasn't it. Yes, it's because of her horrible mother and a loser from her past, but this chick needed some therapy, lol. No, she really was just in her head too much and tended to over think way too much. Now, Decklan, don't get me wrong, he had some issues too. My gosh, these two were quiet a pair with all of their insecurities. I hope they make each other stronger rather than destroy anything they may have. But damn, he was soo hot and demanding and determined lol, it made up for anything negative. I will say at a certain part of the story, I FELT, he may have overreacted a little. Yes, she didn't tell him the whole truth, but it wasn't like anything was going on. LOL, and I guess that's all I can really say about that without spoiling. Needless to say, I can't wait for more from the series. If I remember right, the next story goes back to the original brothers and sisters, instead of the cousins. I can't wait for more. :) This book had everything I want in a book!Some tears, a little laughter, family, friends, fun, light BDSM, a sweet D/s relationship, HOT sex, drama, HOT sex with a hot cop, a gay best friend, HOT sex, and a hot cop. I think that about covers what I loved about this book. Dare to Submit is fourth in the series. To prepare, I read the first three, but that isn't necessary unless you want to. Each book stands alone. I love that some of the Dare family was included in the Invitation to Eden multi-author series for the third book in the Dare to Love series. The little subbie in me loves Dare to submit most in the series so far. Yes, there will be more, and that gets a big YAY from me!I just have to say before I go...I love how D/s and BDSM are presented in a lighter fashion in this book. Many of us in the lifestyle choose to tone down on the protocol, and keep the lifestyle in the bedroom. The couple in this book go to a BDSM club, but sometimes it's just a meeting place, not for public play. My own reluctant Dom needs to read this book. I want to know what the inside of a club really is like. Thanks for the quick peek, Carly Phillips!I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
