Dare to Love Universe #23
His Daring Moves
**Kindle Worlds no longer exist. This book has be revised and lengthened and released under the title Let Me Love You (Winter Lake #4)
He’s got daring moves on — and off — the field.
As receiver for the Miami Thunder, Grady Murdock couldn’t be more satisfied with his professional life. Next up—his personal one. He’s a player on the field, not off, so when he claps eyes on Melinda at a Thunder event, he’s neither surprised nor alarmed to find she triggers both lustful and long-term thoughts. Six years his senior, Mel isn’t so easily convinced.
Independent, career-minded Melinda Shaw has singlehandedly built one of Miami’s premier event-management companies, but success hasn’t stopped her heart from shifting its focus to marriage and children. Still, she’s not about to burden a younger man with her fantasies of familial grandeur…until she does.
One night plus TWO forms of protection divided by Grady’s super-sperm equals the completely expected.
Their combustible sexual chemistry notwithstanding, Grady still has to work overtime to convince Mel he wants her despite their impending parenthood, not because of it. It’ll take almost losing everything—and more than a few of Grady’s famous daring moves—to score Mel’s heart once and for all.

This is such a cute series. The books in the series are relatively short but the author does a great job drawing the reader into the storyline.
Let Me Love You is an age gap ( although a same one) romance older woman Melinda whose 30 and Grady whose 24.
These 2 characters worked so well together. Grady knew immediately what he felt for Mel but she took a little longer.
I definitely could have read more about this couple but sadly all good things must come to an end

I am a fan of this series! This one is about Grady and Melinda. They met by chance but the connection was instant. Grady is a professional football player and Mel is an event planner. Is it possible for two with totally different lives to find a way to be together? I enjoyed how it was told in dual POV so I could really experience what they both were feeling. Quick feel good story that I enjoyed from page one to the last.

I so enjoyed this book, would not put it down! Looking forward to the next book in the series. Rhian knows hot to write hot loveable men. Yummy!

I have serious love for this book! Grady & Melinda start with instant chemistry, but their busy lives prevent them from continuing with their initial one night. Then, the stars seriously align, and they are thrown into more than they could imagine. I loved Grady's parents, and I'm glad they were excited instead of disappointed. I'm also glad that Melinda didn't really make an issue of the age difference. Six years is not that crazy. Great story with a wonderful epilogue!

Another lovely update & lengthening from the original story!
Loved the wrap up at the end!
Loved seeing Grady & Melinda again!

Football And Babies?
Mel and Grady are my favorite couple of the series, I may have said that before, but these two...they won my heart! First and foremost, I am a huge football fan, so Grady had me from the get go! Mel has been the strongest heroine of the series if you ask me! Nothing is better than a strong woman who falls hard whether she wants to or not! The story flowed quickly, but sometimes so does life and love! When you know, you just know! This couple steamed up the pages early on, but time and work kept them apart. They were forced to get to know each other without the touch and tension of actually going out on dates! It was brilliant, don’t get me wrong, they were hot as hell once they hit the sheets, shower, counter, etc!! Check out this story, this entire series is written beautifully!

As this new foray into the Dare to Love series opens with Mel having a wonderful conversation with herself. Her best friend is ecstatic over the fact that after years of trying she and her husband are finally pregnant. And Mel is feeling lonely and jealous. She is also bemoaning the fact that she can’t find a prince among the toads in Miami and makes a vow to keep looking for Mr Right. She continues her monologue with the point that she is in fact has a very successful event management firm and her business is sought after by many of the area businesses. She can live with that.
The event of the day is Family Day with the Miami Thunder at the Thunder Dome. Grady is a second year player working hard to capitalise on the opportunity provided when the starting receiver was injured in training camp. He knows that his performance has been solid and with Foley out he will get more playtime and earn his spot in the roster. The he collides with Mel at the event. He tries to keep his mind on the event and his interactions with other team members and the public, but without realising it, he keeps looking for Mel. The miniature Ferris-wheel breaks down and Mel begs Grady to help out by organising an impromptu ball game.
Grady has a price for his services though, dinner and he cooks at his place. Mel nearly backs out of dinner, sitting in front of Grady’s home she is about to drive away when Grady comes out to meet her. Dinner is something Mel didn’t expect to enjoy. Grady is trying to be a gentleman and get to know Mel before he takes their encounter to another level; he’s not a one-night-stand kind of guy. But drinks and relaxed conversation on serve to heat the sexual interests to an even higher level. And Miami gets hot!
Mel and Grady try to keep the relationship going with phone calls, text, and sexy video chats. She becomes ill, continues to work, and becomes even weaker with the constant stress and nausea. Several offhand comments lead her to a middle of the night run to the pharmacy and fear drives her to Grady’s front door. Arriving home from an away game, he finds her on his doorstep and after a tearful confession, a pregnancy test and shocking discovery that birth control pills and condoms don’t always work; Grady spends the night online searching for the next step in their journey.
Mel is determined to be independent and refuses to marry just for the sake of the baby. She is determined to stay in her own home and rear the baby with Grady in their lives, but not forced to marry her. Miami traffic is never the best, careless drivers and people who are in too much of a hurry, and Grady is told the news of a tragic accident by a reporter as he leaves the field.
Life is never fair; sometimes one must set a goal and never give up. Sometimes family is blood, or your teammates, or those that are fated to be your family. And when Mother Nature says it is time, don’t question the miracles she passes your way.

4 Stars!!
His Daring Moves is a sexy, funny must-read!
His Daring Moves is a fun addition to the Dare to Love Series, Kindle World. Miami Thunder receiver, Grady Murdock meets the woman of his dreams at a Thunder fundraising event. The event is being run by Melinda Shaw, entrepreneur and owner of one of Miami’s premier event-management companies. When an unexpected technical issue stops her key-attraction ride, Grady and his teammates come to the rescue. Melanie is grateful for the help, but she doesn’t want anything to do with Grady no matter how sexy he is.
Thank goodness Mel’s body doesn’t agree with her head to stay away. She decides one night will be enough to get Grady out of her system. Grady is all for the one-night but he plans to convince Mel that one night is not nearly enough – it’s only the beginning.
His Daring Moves is a sexy read with well-written likable characters you can’t help but root for their HEA.
Highly recommended!

I totally fell in love with His Daring Moves by Rhian Cahill and the football hero, Grady. He is seriously swoon worthy and his words and actions just melted my heart. Grady and Mel's chemistry was explosive right from the start and their one night together was scorching hot and turned into something so much more. The author did a great job not with just the sex scenes but portraying the connection and emotions these two had for one another in such a short period of time. I really liked the role reversal where Grady is more confident about their unexpected situation while Mel showed more uncertainty which is quite the opposite of her usual self. I also enjoyed the humor that was instilled in some of the scenes which had me chuckling. I loved the surprise twist and the epilogue was awesome. Another fantastic story by one of my favorite authors.

I loved this novella! Meet Grady Murdock, a professional football player and Melinda Shaw, owner of an event management company. Grady and Melinda meet at an event she is throwing for The Miami Thunders football team and their families. The sparks between them fly right away and they spend the night together resulting in an unexpected surprise!
I loved how Grady didn't have to come to terms with having a baby. He was just happy about it. I loved that Mel didn't want to get married just because they were having a baby. I loved the two of them together! I also enjoyed catching up with Sadie and Alex from Her Daring Mistake.
The surprise at the end of the book was fun too!
"She couldn't resist his smile. All he had to do was aim it her way and her knees seemed to melt, her toes curled and her insides tightened."
I would definitely recommend this book!

Be careful what you wish for...
Every girl wants a man like Grady. Who wouldn't want a rich, caring, attentive and handsome guy in their life? Mel proved to be a handful. She was a perfect blend of spirited, obsessive and self-confident. Mel and Grady are thrown a curve ball when a one night hookup leads to an unexpected consequence. Now they have to come to terms with the fall out and learn how to co-exist in each others worlds. Rhian Cahill's His Daring Move's is seductive and humorous with delightfully engaging characters. I received an ARC of Dare to Love Series: His Daring Moves in exchange for an honest review. Very pleasurable story that is worthy of a five star review.

His Daring Moves is a humorous, sweet, sexy add to the Kindle Worlds Dare to Love Series. Grady is a grounded, thoughtful, romantic and sexy Miami Thunder. Mel is at a place in her life where she questions her future relationship and family status when she meets Grady. There is instant sexual attraction between Grady and Mel when they first meet which further leads them to their HEA. Although His Daring Moves is a quick read, Rhian Cahill brilliantly shows Grady and Mel’s commitment to each other through their actions for each other.

This is the first book of Rhian that I have read. It was a good, easy, short read. It had all the elements for a good love story without a lot of drama. Grady and Mel knew when they met that they had something special going on. It took Mel a little longer to accept her feelings for Grady. But Grady held onto the hope that everything would work out. Nice HEA.

Short but very sweet
This was a great addition to the series. Mel and Grady had chemistry from the beginning to the end.
While Mel feared that their age gap would put a damper on their relationship Grady was all to happy to get her to forget it.
He may have been a player in the past one look at Mel and he was lost. I liked the turn around we saw in this bad boy.

Great add to the Kindle World of Carly Phillip's "Dare to Love". We catch up with Mel (last seen in Her Daring Mistake) and see if she can have a HEA of her own. Wonderful characters, a bit of drama/anticipation and some surprises.
September 23, 2015
This was a great quick read. Grady and Mel was another wonderful love story in Carly Phillips Dare to love Kindle world. What better story than love at first sight and unplanned pregnancy. Will they end up together or just burn out.
