Temporary Dare
Keri Crawford has taken a temporary job in Miami, a chance to move her career forward and get some much-needed distance from her life back home. She needs to figure out if her on-again-off-again boyfriend and the sparkless relationship they have are enough for her. But then she meets a handsome stranger who sure sparks something inside her. Actually, it ignites a freaking fire. In the best way possible. She finds herself doing things she never would’ve before and likes this fun new Keri. Looks like this temporary arrangement is exactly what she needs. And no strings means it’ll be easy to let go at the end, right?
Julian Moore has just signed the papers on his divorce. All he wants is to make a success of his new restaurant and finish out his football career with the Miami Thunder. He’ll get remarried someday, have the family his ex refused, but right now, that’s the furthest thing from his mind. A temporary fling with a gorgeous woman is exactly what he needs. But what happens when the temporary thing becomes something he doesn’t want to let go of?

Stephanie Haefner is back with another sinfully decadent novella with Temporary Dare and I will tell you now, do not start this story unless you have time to inhale it in one sitting, because once you start, you will not be able to put it down.
I will admit to being a huge fan of this author but she managed to blow me away with this book. I loved the premise, characters, story, everything. She has the ability to put a lot of storyline into a little and does so without making it feel rushed or forced. It just flows and snags your attention.
From the opening memorable line, to the last words, this book was so much fun to read. You will fall head over heels for Keri and Julian. Sigh Julian……
Who knew that a temporary fling would turn into something so much more or that it would be so hot? While these two certainly do burn up the sheets and other places, it’s fun to watch them fall and fall fast.
Throw in an ex-boyfriend who pops in for a surprise visit and gets more than he bargained for, a horrible ex-wife and some sexy dancing and you get another winner from an author who proudly sits on my auto buy-don’t bother to read the blurb list.
It was so damn good. Just buy it, put up the do not disturb sign, find a comfy spot and indulge in this sinful treat. I know I’m going to again and again.

"He’d made a mistake, but she’d made one too" NOPE. No, she had not. Dude fucks up and blames everyone around him. Also, calling your ex a bitch is bad form. I dislike this guy.

Sometimes life has a funny way of putting you in an unknown position to guide you to a path that is just right for you. Keri Crawford is temporarily in Miami for work. She looks at it as a chance to further her career and a chance to figure out her life…including what is going on with her boyfriend, Dan. Keri is out with a co-worker and meets the handsome Julian Moore.
Julian is just getting over some personal things…he’s newly divorced, he has a new restaurant and he’s focusing on his career. While at his restaurant, Julian meets Keri and is immediately drawn to her. They immediately hit it off. With both going through personal issues, they agree to have a fun during Keri’s temporary residence in Miami. Where do they go from here?
The story was a quick read and had a steady pace. I liked how Julian and Keri clicked but would have liked to learn a bit more about their personalities separate from when they were hanging out. I also would have liked to learn a little more about the secondary characters such as Dan and maybe Shayna’s character. Julian’s ex-wife had just enough character where I knew I strongly disliked her and didn’t feel like I needed to know any more about her.
This is the first book I’ve read by Stephanie Haefner and it won’t be the last. Looking forward to reading more!

Dare To Love Series: Temporary Dare by Stephanie Haefner. This is Keri Crawford and Julian Moore's story.
This is a cute, sweet, and steamy romance of two people whose work life is great but they are going through a difficult time in their personal life. Keri and Julian meet accidentally and are immediately attracted to one another but neither are ready for a relationship. Keri is only in Miami for a short time to get one of her company's stores up and running. Julian and Keri end up in a temporary relationship. Once Keri goes back home will it be over or will they take a chance on love?
FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Absolutely wonderful book by a new to me author. Keri and Julian are great together, will they really make a temporary relationship work or will they try to make more out of it. Will the people from their pasts try to ruin their relationship. Love the fact that Ian and Riley were in this book from Carly Phillips Dare to Love, what better way to have a great addition to the Dare to Love Kindle World. Definitely need to find some other works by Stephanie Haefner.
