Reviews for Dare to Love Series 2-7 by Carly Phillips


BLURB:
If there is one thing Alex Dare does well, it's to get what he wants. And Alex wants Madison. 

Quarterback Alex Dare, had it all -- an all-star football career and his choice of willing women -- until injury forces him into early retirement. When he is offered a ground-breaking position with a rival team, he's intrigued, but there's a catch. He'll be working alongside the same woman he callously hurt when she got too close for comfort. 

Social worker Madison Evans grew up in foster homes and knows what it means to have-not. She isn't impressed by Alex Dare's wealth or charm. Not since she fell hard for him once before, only to discover she was just one of his too-easy conquests. This time around Madison refuses to succumb to Alex so easily. 

But Alex wants Madison. And if there is one thing Alex does well, it's to get what he wants. Can he convince Madison to take a risk on the ultimate reformed bad boy? 

REVIEW BY TABITHA:
This is book two of this series and I must say just as great as the first!! I totally fell in love with Alex in Dare to Love and honestly couldn't wait to read his book and was super excited to know that his was next. Alex goes through something traumatic in the beginning and really doesn't handle it well. And while Madison wants so badly to be there for him, he won't let her. Then fast forward a few months and he knows he screwed up and is going to do anything possible to get her back. I also want to say that Madison is a really great heroine and is the perfect partner for the elusive Alex Dare. I am really in love with this series and can not wait to read more. This is an easy 5 AMAZEBALLS stars rating for me!! A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review. 

DARE TO DESIRE BUY LINK


BLURB:
After ending a relationship to a cheating, domineering man, Isabelle Masters takes off in her leased Mercedes, only to be arrested for grand theft auto and hauled to a local police station. To her surprise, she is rescued by the most unlikely person possible, Gabriel Dare, a man she's been attracted to for far too long. Gabe offers Isabelle freedom along with an invitation to Eden, an exclusive island resort where everything and anything is possible. 

Although Gabe yearns to possess Isabelle, he knows all too well he must fight his primitive need to bind her to him, and instead help bring out the independent woman she yearns to become - or risk losing her for good. 

A woman who needs to run her own life. An Alpha man who needs to exert control. Can she surrender to his demands without losing her sense of self once more? (love story, contemporary romance, alpha heroes, beach reads, sports heroes, bad boys, billionaire) 


REVIEW BY TABITHA:
Another 5 star read for me!! This author really knows how to make you want to never get up and do anything other than read. I keep thinking there is no way this series could be any better and every time I am proven wrong. I really can't decide who is my favorite Dare man so far. Gabe is the cousin to Ian and Alex from books 1 and 2 and boy does he heat things up!! I love the whole Invitation to Eden element too. Isabelle and Gabe are another awesome couple in this family. And might I just add that whole scene with Decklan and Isabelle in the beginning is hilarious!! Love every single thing about this book and can't wait to read Decklan's book.

DARE TO SURRENDER BUY LINK



BLURB:
Decklan Dare knows about the unexpected loss of loved ones and for this reason, he values control in all areas of his life. Amanda Collins enjoys the freedom she finds in casual encounters without the emotional connection a relationship brings. They meet and their physical attraction is mutual but both experience feelings that could run deeper – if they drop their guard and let each other in. Decklan is first to trust, but when he discovers the secret Amanda’s been hiding, will he forgive? Or will he rebuild every wall before she has a chance to explain? (love story, contemporary romance, alpha heroes, beach reads, cop hero, bad boys, billionaire) 

REVIEW BY TABITHA:
I have read all the books in this series so far and while you can read them as standalones, I really believe you should read them in order because they all have intertwined characters and well honestly because they are really dang good. When Decklan was first introduced in Gabe's book (Dare to Surrender) I have to be honest and tell you that I knew his book was going to be freaking awesome. Decklan just had this "thing" about him that drew me in and made me really want to know him. I have to say it did not disappoint in the least. I was hooked from page one and did not get anything done until it was over. And then I decided I had to start the next one because I just could not wait. This series is not one to be missed. I really think you will fall in love with every single character I promise. This was another 5 AMAZEBALLS stars for me!! A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review.

BLURB:
Olivia Dare, executive director of the Miami Thunder, and team travel director, Dylan Rhodes share more than just a passion for football–their chemistry is explosive and their feelings for each other are intense. But Olivia is wary of any man getting too close. Given her background – a near-bigamist dad and an ex-boyfriend who merely enforced her lack of priority in his life – Olivia fears being hurt again but she can’t resist embarking upon a passionate affair with Dylan, even as she holds part of herself back. 

Dylan isn’t a man who does anything half way. Once he decides to pursue Olivia, he goes all in. When the Pro-Bowl takes them to the desert oasis of Arizona, Dylan is determined to make sure their time together isn’t all business. What happens while at the luxury resort is life altering but when Olivia admits her deepest pain, will Dylan be able to prove he’s a man with staying power? Or will Olivia be disappointed again, this time by the most important man in her life? (love story, contemporary romance, alpha heroes, beach reads, sports heroes, bad boys, billionaire)

REVIEW BY TABITHA:
You know those series that have you so hooked you never want it to end? Yeah, that is this series for me. I fall in love with each book and each time I think, it isn't possible for it to be as good as the last, and each time I am proven wrong. I must say I really have been looking forward to Olivia and Dylan's book from the beginning. Liv has been such a strong character from book one. I knew there would be some major things she has had to deal with in her past and the only one who could help her with it would be Dylan. Boy was I right!! He is the perfect match for Liv and he is willing to do anything to prove that to her. I am truly in love with the Dare family!! I am so excited to read what comes next! Another 5 AMAZEBALLS stars for me!! A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review.

BLURB:
Some women always get it right. Kindergarten teacher, Meg Thompson, on the other hand, consistently makes the wrong decisions — and she is currently single, pregnant and alone. Meg is determined to make changes in her life, to be a better mother than her own had been. No revolving door of men. No man, period. Just a single-minded focus on her baby. Her resolution would be easier to keep if not for hot cop, Scott Dare. He insinuates himself in her life, making Meg want to believe in happily ever after, even if history has taught her to know better. 

When Scott Dare hears Meg’s friends are determined she have a night of hot sex, before her life changes forever, he decides that man must be him. Their one night is mind blowing and life altering. And Scott, a man already burned by his ex-wife, finds himself all in anyway. While protecting Meg from her violent ex and becoming part of her increasingly complicated life, he’s falling hard and he can’t seem to find distance. Not when their bodies respond to each other with such heated intensity and he’s drawn to her unique combination of strength and vulnerability. 

But Meg’s future is one Scott has accepted he’ll never have, even if his growing feelings say otherwise … 
(love story, contemporary romance, alpha heroes, beach reads, sports heroes, bad boys, billionaire) 

REVIEW BY TABITHA:
I'm going to be real honest and say going into this one I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Meg being the heroine. She was a bit needy in the previous book and I just thought she was going to be that again, however I am so happy to say that I was very wrong. She turned out to be one of my favorite heroines in this series. Scott is another alpha Dare man and he fits right in with Ian, Alex, Gabe, and Decklan. Man oh man, do these Dare men really make you all hot and bothered. They are panty melting truly!! Meg is pregnant from a previous really bad relationship and to say that her and Scott meet under bad circumstances is an understatement. However, Scott feels something for Meg that he can't explain or ignore and as much as Meg wants to stand on her own, she feels something for him as well and unfortunately needs his help since her ex is threatening her and her unborn baby. I really loved everything about this book and wouldn't change anything about it. I keep saying this, but really this is one of my favorite series ever and ones I will be reading over and over again. This is another 5 AMAZEBALLS stars for me. A copy was gifted in exchange for an honest review.

BLURB:
Avery Dare lives a quiet life in Miami as an online fashion/makeup video blogger. She has good friends, a close, large family and if her love life is lacking, she likes it that way. But when she receives an invitation to one of her ex's concerts along with an invitation to meet him back stage, she decides to take the risk… and comes face to face with the reality of his rock star lifestyle - the press, the crowds, and the half naked groupies. 

At eighteen, Grey Kingston left everything he knew and loved behind to seek fame and fortune as a rock star, and he found it as the lead guitarist and singer for the band, Tangled Royal. Fans adore him, women throw themselves at him, and he can afford everything he couldn’t growing up. Yet at the height of his career, he’s ready to walk away and return home to a simpler life… and the woman he left behind, if he can convince her to give him another chance. 

Except moving on isn’t as easy as Grey would like. When Avery is threatened by a stalker, it becomes evident Grey’s fans not only don’t want him to retire, they don’t want Avery in his life either. And Avery isn’t sure she wants the pressures that are part of Grey’s life… but she doesn’t want to lose him again, either. Can their recently renewed love survive the fallout? 


REVIEW BY TABITHA:
I have read every single Dare book to date and have loved every one of them. This one is no different. I was really looking forward to reading Avery and Grey's book and diving into what happen with them back in high school and when she saw him in Olivia's book at the concert. And really who doesn't love a hot rockstar? I really loved the chemistry between Avery and Grey. Their relationship might be one of the most explosive yet in this series. These books can be read as standalones, however I strongly suggest reading them in order and not just because they have interconnecting characters, but honestly because they all will blow you away!! Every character is very well developed and every story has a great flow to it. Can't wait for the next book!! This was another 5 AMAZEBALLS stars read for me.
