Katie Quaid could never refuse a dare. It was the quality that had once made her a world-class equestrian. And it was the reason she'd been elected to introduce herself to Briarwood's intimidatingly gorgeous new resident. It took one week to make Nick Leone the focus of the Virginia town's rumor mill. So far he was a CIA agent, a male model, a fugitive—maybe all three. Whatever Nick was, Katie learned one thing right away: she liked him. And that made him the greatest danger she'd faced since the accident that had ended her riding career. In the five years since, she'd buried herself in her business of restoring historic homes, afraid to share her scars with any man—scars that had destroyed more than one dream. Nick had disappointments of his own, but after meeting Katie, he sensed that fate had a better plan all along. And soon he would pose her with the greatest dare of all—to love again.

— Cactuskid2, 4/30/2011" It was a silly girl's romance book. I thought it would get better. It didn't "

— Stacey, 2/21/2011" I wasn't fan of the main character Katie and I the story was kind of perdictuable. "
— Allison, 10/11/2010" Narrators voice was extremely annoying when it came to dialog. I also did not realize that this was a romance by Tami Hoag...I mot likely will not be getting one of her romances in the future. I was embarrassed to listen to it at times, because the story was so cheesy. "
— Jamie, 9/21/2010" 2.5* Very predictable, and a little to melodramatic, but still overall an enjoyable quick read. This is a very early Tami Hoag with no suspense or mystery plot. "
— Carrie, 2/23/2010" this is a quick easy read. We should try to remember that as our circumstances change - so should we. "
— Sharon, 2/1/2010" Had some good moments but author could have added one more happy ever after at the end and it would have been much better. "
— Avalon91, 10/24/2009" Romance. I see why she change to mysteries. "
