Dare to Hold by Carly Phillips is the sixth book in her Dare To Love series. This series is the embodiment of strong women and dominant males. The Dare family with the damaged core, and TWO families growing up knowing nothing of each other to the extended cousins and their own issues. They are a must read for me. 
 So we have a pregnant kindergarten teacher whose friends want ehr to have one last night 'o fun before she gets ridiculously pregnant. A celebration of sorts for getting away from her abusive ex. 
 We have a REALLY ALPHA, alpha male who is dominant but also kind and caring. Who truly believes he can fully satisfy her friends wishes for ehr. 
 Meg Thompson and Scott Dare have ridiculous chemistry and there is just enough drama happening throughout the story with the ex AND their inability to fully acknowledge what they have right away that you will not want to put this down till the last page is read.
