When I read this book for the first time I was in High School and I still re-read it when I get the chance at 33 years old. I loved the plot and the character interactions are really what did it for me. Of course the romance parts were fantastic but it was the back and forth talking that really captivated me. I laughed a lot through this book and while I know it's soft core porn I still enjoy it.

I recently re-read this book at 31 years old. I read this when I was in high school and I loved it again. Dusty is a great guy and you can tell why she fell in love with him. Sure there are a couple silly parts but it was a great love story and there are parts that I will read over and over. Loved this story

I read this in high school and i loved it. It's one of the first books i read that let me know it was okay to be half native and half white. Loved the way he shared his life with her like it was no big deal. don't understand what i mean? read the book.

Dare to Kiss a Cowboy By Renee Roszel
Harlequin Back to the Ranch Multi-Author Series
Anna Andrews needs to fix her brothers mess, again. When she goes to ask the man her brother stole from for a job and a grace period for her brother, she finds a hard, cold and extremely handsome man. A fireworks man, like her dad, a man she promised her mom she'd stay away from.
Bent River Ranch is run by the Dare brothers, top notch cutting-horses. Dusty Dare is a tough man to work for. Proud of his Cherokee roots and his horses. Unsure about letting the petite beauty whose brother stole a prized and irreplaceable possession from him, he gives in and gives her a chance.
What a great story. I started reading and couldn't stop. Anna has trusty Thad, the type of man her mom would want her to have, even if there's no love. Her heart prefers the dark and broody Dusty, but memories of the dad she never knew keep her fearful. I enjoyed the different characters and the horse training as well.

My friends gave me this book as a birthday present after I had just moved overseas in 2009. It was a joke. They had picked it up based on the cover art being so unbelievably hilarious.
I read it, because who am I to waste a book. If nothing else, it can teach me what not to do when writing myself. Harlequin romances are essentially "what not to do in writing romance" in a nutshell.
This book was downright hilarious. I'm hesitant to give a Harlequin anything above 3 stars because I don't consider them good literature, but the entire concept of this book was so damned funny that I laughed throughout the whole thing. I laughed even harder when I realized that it was meant to be taken seriously, because some people actually do take these books seriously.
Either way, if you can get a laugh out of a Harlequin, give this a read. And if you actually like Harlequins, give it a read.
