I bought this book because it was offered as an online deal. Even though I've never read anything by this author before, I'm not one to pass up a deal. My Kindle is loaded with deals, and just by chance, I chose to read this one. I'm glad I did. I was surprised to see that this particular book is the fifth in a series and I'm one who tries to read series books in order. But it is definitely a stand-alone story. I will now have to go back and read the other stories to find out more about the characters who showed up here.Devlin's Dare was fun. The characters were enjoyable and believable. Tara, who owns her own bakery, was slammed by a food critic and is trying to recover from the damage he did in his review. Who should she run into on the ferry to Tryst Island? The very same critic. The attraction is instantaneous and sizzling. She learns who he is and plots her revenge. He has no idea who she is and can't understand the compromising position she puts him when they meet at the local island pub. But the attraction will eventually overcome Tara's need to get him back for what he did.As their story continues, there are the not-so-typical sex scenes with a hint of humor throughout. I liked the secondary characters. Charlie, Devlin's twin, a wounded warrior proving he can function on his own quite well who meets Tara's sister, Tina, who coincidentally is also a twin. I would assume that their story will be next. This is a quick read and I enjoyed it. I will definitely go back and read more of this series by Ms. York. I like reading new (to me) authors and this one didn't disappoint.
