Oh boy, oh boy this book was absolutely FANTASTIC!! This was an amazing start to Danielle’s new series and I can’t wait for more!!
Nick just moved to Fisher Springs where he took a job at the local station as the new detective and didn’t exactly get a warm welcome from the towns people. While in the local grocery store he meets a beautiful, young, sassy woman with a chip on her shoulder. Little did they know her life was in danger. Now Nick will do what he can to keep her safe and try not to cave to temptation.
We first meet Nick in Consumed (Dare to Risk #4) and let’s just say I wasn’t a fan but when I read the blurb for this I was excited to read it and I definitely was not disappointed.
I have read most of Daniella Pay’s books and none of them has kept me on the edge of my seat as Chasing Her Trust. This book is full of suspense, twist and turns, amazing chemistry, fun banter, small town drama with a surprise at the end you will not see coming.
From the first line of the story, I was pulled into Nick and Lauren’s world. The tension between and banter between these character kept me engaged through the book. The drama that happens in the small town will have you shaking your head. The suspense and mystery of who was terroriing Lauren will keep you guess as you turn each page.
Once you pick Chasing Her Trust you won’t be able to put it down.

Lauren is a woman who recently moved to the last place her mother lived with her stepfather to start her life over. It is a challenge as her mother and stepfather have recently died. Lauren is not one to put up with crap due to the way her ex-boyfriend treated her and it has turned her into a little spitfire. However, there are some strange occurrences taking place that seem to indicate that someone is trying to harm her. Nick is the sexy, alpha male detective who came to the town, biding his time, until he can return to his former police department. From the beginning, Lauren and Nick made assumptions about each other as they read into each others actions. The only thing they have in common is that the town does not really welcome them. When someone ransacks Lauren’s house, Nick heats up his investigation by moving in to catch the perp. Who is trying to force Lauren out of her house? Can Lauren trust her remaining family? Will Lauren and Nick drop their walls and work together to solve the mystery? Ms. Pays has written an engaging whodunit storyline combined with an important theme of you cannot judge a book by its cover. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
This is the 1st in a new series and what a great start this is! Nick is a detective who is new in the small town, and his first meeting with Lauren did not go too well, but they enjoyed junking each other’s chains, and had a serious hate / love relationship going on. When Lauren is in danger and her life being threatened, Nick is determined to protect her. This is a well written story which is filled with suspense, mystery, and twists which all lead to an intriguing and humorous read which had me enthralled throughout. I highly recommend for all readers.
I had a great time with this read. Lauren and Nick have great chemistry that neither wants to admit too. When Lauren’s life is threatened they send Nick in and what transpires is a fun storyline that at times made laugh and other i was on the edge of my seat. Well written and great characters don’t miss out. Looking forward to the next book.

Chasing Her Trust by Danielle Pays is the First book in the Dare to Surrender Series. This is the story of Lauren Harrow and Detective Nick Moore. Lauren is having issues with an ex who isn’t going away nicely it would seem. Nick too has issue and has moved to a small town / Fisher Springs to work as a detective. Lauren and Nick happen to meet but they were quick to make judgements on each other that put them in the somewhat enemies list. But then we learn Lauren is in danger and of course Nick steps in to protect her which leads them to opening up to more of their feelings. I enjoyed this page turning story.
This is book one in the Dare to Surrender series. Lauren and Nick do not have any reason to trust one another but events continue to escalate and Lauren’s life becomes on the line. Can trust be established between these two? What about something more? Enjoy this entertaining story and HEA.

Chasing Her Trust
By Danielle Pays
Main Characters: Lauren and Nick
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
This was a good romantic suspense story. This is the 1st book I have read by this author and I def want to read more. Nick comes across as arrogant coming from a large city to a small one. It seems Nick likes irritating Lauren. We have laughter, murder, threats and plenty of suspense trying to figure out what is going on. I hope to read more by Danielle Pays. Great book!
When Lauren meets Nick he isn’t at his best. He’s having a bad day and tired of the simple life as a detective in a small town. Lauren’s home has been vandalized and she thinks he doesn’t take it seriously even though he does sleep at the end of the driveway. As she continues to have issues, it seems like someone is trying to kill her and the chemistry level is rising with Nick. He stands by her side literally. The mystery along with the romance makes this story very good.

This book was one terrific read with the great character and storyline development that kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!
This was my first book by the author and let’s just say I was NOT disappointed. This was a great start to a new series! A page-turner for sure! Nick and Lauren’s story is one of mystery and suspense. There is murder on the horizon and just when I thought I figured out “who done-it” another twist was thrown in. I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I highly recommend this book as I couldn’t put it down!
Lauren and Nick make the reader believe in happy endings. I loved both of their first two chance meetings. The characters made me laugh at times and also made me hold my breath in anticipation of what might happen next. And as for the author, I have loved Danielle Pays from the first novel of her’s that I read and this one is no exception. It has me on the edge of my seat for the rest of the “Dare to Surrender” series. If you are looking for something to warm your heart as well as captivate you with suspense, look no further.

Wow this was absolutely one craziest insane over the top melodramatic romance books I’ve ever read and oh so good.
Lauren with her dumb cheating ex boyfriend who couldn’t understand get lost.
And of course The first time she meets Nick in the grocery store that didn’t seem to go so well for either one.
At one point there interactions are nearly combative and abrasive both have major misconception of the other.
But of how they rock together.

Great start to a new series! This book will keep you turning page after page with the story of Nick and Lauren. Their first encounter is in a grocery store to their next when Nick arrives at Lauren’s home due to a report of vandalism. Nick and Lauren don’t see eye to eye and get on each other’s nerves. I smiled through the first several chapters of them meeting the first two times due to the way Nick enjoyed pulling Lauren’s chain and her responses. I could sense this was going to be a push-pull relationship and couldn’t wait to see how it expanded. There are threats and murder afoot and with all the twists and turns you are kept intrigued throughout the story. I can’t wait for the next book in this series! I highly recommend this book as well as Danielle Pays’ books in the Dare to Risk series. I was given an ARC in return for my honest review.
Hot, steamy, sexy. This book has it from beginning to end. The story of Nick and Lauren takes you through a wide range of emotions. You won’t want to put it down.
An intriguing plot. Who is the bad guy? No evidence to prove anyone did anything wrong. There are twist and turns in this wonderful story. All the characters were well-developed and realistic. I have read all of Danielle’s books and never been disappointed. A great start to a new series.
Oh I just loved this book. The first in the “dare to surrender” series.
It’s a good mixture between romance and suspense. Detective Nick Moore just moved to town and gets all the shitty jobs because they don’t want him there.
On a calm he meets lauren, who he saw before at the supermarket. In the beginning they hate each other but he has to protect her because someone wants her dead. The suspense was killing me and I read most of the book in one day.
Thank you for writing this Wonderful book Danielle and I can’t wait till the next one.
I got this book as an ARC to review.
