Search - If You Dare (MacCarrick Brothers, Bk 1)

Kresley Cole has once again taken this reader on another romantic adventure romp with the first book in a new trilogy featuring the three MacCarrick brothers. Three adventuresome and darkly dangerous Scottish brothers who live life on the edge since believing an age-old family curse that predicts that the family line would end with them.

*** I thought this was a deliciously entertaining read that kept the sexual tension high; the adventure exciting; and culminated with a fabulous love story. Annalia and Court were really great together providing entertainment both when battling and definitely when loving. Court thought Anna petulant and spoiled; she thought of him as an ungentlemanly barbarian; definitely the ingredients for a lively romance. When Court finally discovered that Anna, the petite dainty beauty had courage, strengths and a passionate nature it brought out both the best in him as well as bringing him to his knees. The lively mixture of secondary characters, from Court's brothers, his crew of comrades, and Pascal's daughter Olivia, were all well-defined adding additional layers of depth to this very sexy romance. The dialogs, not only between the main protagonists but also between the numerous secondary characters were wonderful adding one more layer to this superb read! The only thing I must say I don't like is having to wait another year for Hugh's story, which judging by the sneak peak at the back of the book looks to be another fabulous read and a worthy addition to this newest trilogy which is going to end up on my keeper shelf! - Marilyn, for www.historicalromancewriters.com

Great trilogy about the MacCarrick Brothers, but this was the least favorite of the three for me. At least the first 120 pages or so. I won't say why to avoid spoilers, but then the remainder of the book picked up, became a little more humane and normal and was just as good as the other 2 books. =) Enjoy!

Great Read! Twists and turns to the plot with strong characters. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

I love me some Kresley Cole. This chick can write! Loved the whole series! She has yet to disappoint me!

I started out having a little trouble getting into this book - it was not what I was expecting. It wasn't long until I was hooked, and could not put it down. I can't wait to read the next book in this trilogy.

I really enjoyed this book. Although I think that a lot of the dialogue was not particularly period-appropriate, I liked the characters and their romantic dynamic and the build up to their relationship. I thought the story was engaging and the side characters interesting. I did think the book was rather longer than it needed to be, perhaps the pacing in the beginning was rather slow, but glad I stuck it out and read the whole book. There are some steamy love scenes but not until late in the book. If you've read any of Cole's paranormal romances, you are probably accustomed to her introducing a lot of heat fairly early in the story, this books doesn't "put out" until near the end. I will certainly be reading the other two books in this series.
