Publisher Description
Meet Amy Harris, a compassionate soul who has devoted her life to caring for the students at the very inner-city high school she once graduated from.
Amy has always played it safe, steering clear of the complications that come with dating outside her multi-ethnic heritage. That is until her heart begins to stir at the arrival of the enigmatic Zach.
Zach Wilson enters the scene through a student-loan forgiveness program, taking on the challenging world of a D.C. public school. Despite their differences, Amy and Zach find themselves drawn to each other.
As the seasons change, and the holiday spirit fills the air, Zach and Amy work together on the enchantment of their school's annual holiday program. Little do they know, it may hold the key to their shared destiny.
But Zach's teaching commitment is nearing completion and a tempting offer to teach at a prestigious suburban magnet school emerges. The catch? The potential departure could spell the end of a promising connection with Amy, just as their love story begins to unfold.
Amy and Zach learn to trust God's timing and to follow His lead, but God doesn't always call us to do what's easy. Will they be daring enough to risk their hearts and find their happily ever after?

Third book in Christian romance series!
A Dash of Daring by Elizabeth Maddrey is the third book in the Taste of Romance series. This is a Christian romance series. Zach Wilson teaches math at an inner-city high school in Washington, D.C. He has been interested in dating Amy Harris (substitute teacher and after school care coordinator) for some time but she keeps putting him in the friend zone (Amy wishes to avoid dating someone who is not a part of her multi-ethnic heritage). Zach finally asks her out on a real date and Amy hesitantly accepts. This is the first of many dates. Amy, though, will have a long way to go before she is ready for a serious relationship. Amy tends to make snap judgements and jump to conclusions without hearing all the information. Amy and Zach will get to know each other better as they work on the school’s holiday program. When Zach gets an opportunity to have a job at a magnet school will it end their budding relationship (he would like to teach to students who actually enjoy math)? Will Amy be able to get over her issues to have a wonderful future?
A Dash of Daring is a sweet, Christian romance novel. There is some kissing in the book and a just a hint of an engaged couple looking forward to more after they are married. The book does have a pregnancy between two teenagers in it. I liked Zach, but Amy was a harder character to enjoy. She was so quick to assume things and then would storm off (which I find annoying). It was nice reading about such dedicated teachers who enjoy their jobs. We get to catch up on the characters from the past two novels to see how they are doing in their relationships. While A Dash of Daring can be read alone, it does help to have read the first two books in a Taste of Romance series. I give A Dash of Daring 4 out of 5 stars (which means I liked it, but did not love it).
I received a complimentary copy of A Dash of Daring from The Book Club Network Inc. and Elizabeth Maddrey in exchange for an honest review.
