There is no better gift to a reader than to do a crossover with two of their favorite series, and Carly Phillips did that with this book. We get the Dare’s, and we get the Knight’s.
Ethan and Sienna’s story was amazing. They clicked from the start, and while Ethan may have misstepped a few times along the way, they fell hard fast and quick.
I loved catching up with some of my favorite characters from these series’, and can’t wait for the next book!!
An amazing read that I would highly recommend!
Dare Me Tonight is a steamy romance that’ll make you believe in second chances. After Sienna gives a cherished piece of herself to Ethan, you find yourself hoping for the impossible to happen between the two. With each book in this series, I’m always left counting down to the next release! I love the Dare family!!
Sienna Dare is the half sister of Ian Dare. Ian is the oldest of all the Dares and the most controlling and domineering of the bunch. It doesn’t matter that Sienna is his half sister he will protect just like he does all his other siblings. Ian asks Ethan Knight to escort Sienna to an event in New York to Columbia. Ian has met Ethan thru the technology his company is putting in the new stadium Ian is building.
Sienna is bright beautiful and full of life. She just isn’t sure what she wants to do with her life. She isn’t sure if more college is what she wants but she wants the opportunity to explore her options. She hopes this time in Manhattan will do that . Then her sister shows her a picture of Ethan, she was expecting an older man with gray hair not a handsome man just a little older than herself.
Ethan Knight has shut himself off from everybody since his wife died of an accidental overdose and almost destroyed his company by stealing money to fund her habit. He’s only escorting Sienna because he wants to stay in Ian’s good graces. He doesn’t expect to have chemistry with the beautiful young woman he meets. He just wants to get through the weekend. Now how can he let her go after an amazing weekend when the first words out of his mouth were tell no one about their weekend together.
Ethan decides that he needs to be hands on for the rest of the stadium project in Florida so he gets Ian to lend him an office so he can oversee the completion. But what he really wants is to be close to Sienna. Hang on as things get heated and Ian loses his cool when he finds out just what Ethan has done.
Great read as always and it’s really nice to touch base with all the Dares in this cross over book with the Knights.
I was patiently waiting for Ethan book based on his past and I wasn’t disappointed. Him and Sienna hit it off immediately. Who would’ve thought that a young girl, sister of his biggest client would capture his attention especially after everything he went thru with his deceased wife. Sienna had her own family drama but regardless they were pretty close just like Ethan and his siblings. Sienna was a breath of fresh air and made Ethan want more. Their love story wasn’t your usual based on how it started but it was theirs and it was beautiful.
I have been anxiously awaiting Ethan Knight. I knew there was a growly, misunderstood, semi broken man under all his barking at his siblings. And I couldn’t wait to see who would break down his walls. Sienna Dare is his perfect no holds barred match. She is done with secrets and hidden agendas. I adored them! From the first moment they see each other until the last word, there is such great chemistry between them. Carly Phillips has out done herself with their relationship. Yes, it’s a fast moving one but when you know, you know. Then again circumstances make them see reality a little clearer. Bringing back the Dare Family is also fantastic. Seeing them all again warmed my heart.
Sienna Dare can’t decide what she wants to do with her life. So allowing her older half-brother, Ian, to help her by hooking her up with a business themed weekend in New York seems like a good idea. And it turns out to be a VERY good idea when she meets the man who’s to accompany her on this business trip of hers, Ethan Knight. He’s just the man she wants to help her let go and have some fun for once in her life. That he says it’s a one and done and a secret doesn’t bother her…much.
But when the consequences of that fun turn out to be the permanent, though unexpected, kind, will Ethan step up even though it could have serious repercussions for his business?
I absolutely LOVE Ethan and Sienna together! Their contrasts were so marked, but really, were part of what make them such an interesting, compelling couple. That younger Sienna made Ethan finally lose some of that intense control, and allowed him to be vulnerable to her, was my favorite part of this sexy, engaging story. Bringing together the Dares and the Knights?! Such a fabulous idea! Now I can’t wait for Jason’s story, Sexy Dare!!

In Dare Me Tonight we have two series from Carly Phillips collide. Ethan Knight, oldest sibling from the Knight Brothers series meets Sienna Dare, youngest of all the siblings from the Dare series. I’m just going to tell everyone now this book was the book I’ve been waiting for forever, and Ms. Phillips absolutely blew me away with this story.
My heart absolutely broke for Ethan when he discovered his wife Mandy not only had a drug problem, but was stealing from his company and cheating on him. Even a year later he isn’t the man his siblings have always come to rely on and he is pretty much only existing for work. When Ian Dare, contacts Ethan to have him chaperon his youngest half-sister while she is in New York City, he really isn’t excited about the prospect, yet as soon as he meets Sienna, he feels attraction to someone for the first time since his wife died.
Sienna Dare is the youngest of all the Dare siblings, and her childhood illness was the reason Robert Dare had to let his wife and legitimate children know about his second family. Sienna has just finished college and is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. The opportunity to go to New York to check out a prestigious graduate school program comes just as her half-brother Ian is working with Ethan Knight, and Ian sets it up for Ethan to be her escort while in New York.
I absolutely loved Sienna and Ethan together. Their chemistry was scorching hot from the first moment they laid eyes on each other. Ethan had pretty much been a shell of a man since the truth came out about his wife. However, he starts to have feelings again pretty much from the moment he sees Sienna at the graduate school mixer. Yes I loved how strong the attraction was between Ethan and Sienna, but Sienna as the baby of the family didn’t really seem like anyone listened to her thoughts, and Ethan seemed to not only listen to her thoughts and dreams, but support them from the beginning. OMG I loved that Sienna was the one to proposition Ethan, and she knew her mind and heart from the very beginning.
I’m just going to say it; I really love a good secret baby story, and loved it even more with Dare Me Tonight. Sienna really wanted to be the one to talk to Ethan, but per the norm in the Dare family, Ian pretty much looses it when he finds out Ethan got his baby sister pregnant. Sienna showed such strength not only standing up to Ian, but Ethan as well. She didn’t roll over and let either man control her life. I absolutely loved that while Sienna didn’t know exactly what she wanted to do for her career, the moment she found out she was pregnant, she knew that was the most important thing in her life and I felt like it made her even stronger than she was already.
Ethan definitely wasn’t the picture perfect hero in this story. He had so much baggage from his first wife, he stuck his foot in his mouth so much with Sienna, I honestly was surprised she forgave him a few times. He had his flaws for sure, but I loved seeing him come back to the land of the living and get his head on straight not only for Sienna and their baby, but for himself as well. I loved how protective he was of Sienna and how he had not problem stepping up when she needed him to do so.
Robert Dare has been my least favorite character from the moment we first met him. He honestly is my favorite character to hate from the Dare series. He is a selfish bastard and destroyed both sides of his family when the truth came out about his affair. He once again shows his true colors in Dare Me Tonight and it absolutely broke my heart for Sienna and her siblings, but I loved she became so much more empathetic for her half-siblings now that she understood what they had been through all those years ago. I absolutely wanted to fist-bump Sienna when she confronted her father and then give her a big hug.
Dare Me Tonight is such an amazing story! I got to spend time with two of my favorite series in one and I loved getting to visit with all the Dares and Knights as Ethan and Sienna found their happily ever after. Buy this book and make sure you have free time, as you will want to devour it as soon as you have it in your hands!
Rating: 5 Stars (A+)

It was fabulous to pay another visit to the Dare family! Ian Dare and Ethan Knight are working on a project for Ian’s football stadium when Ian asks Ethan to show his baby sister, Sienna, around New York when she is there looking at graduate schools.
When Ethan and Sienna meet, they have such strong and immediate chemistry and attraction to one another that they agree to a one-night fling thinking there paths probably won’t cross again. Little did they know that Ethan would have to come to Miami, where Sienna lives, to work more closely in the stadium.
Tensions come to a head when Sienna passes out with Ethan catching her before she face-plants into a wall. When it’s determined that Sienna is pregnant things get really sticky and threaten Ethan’s contract with Ian and the stadium as well as his relationship with Sienna.
As always, Carly totally immersed the reader into the world of the Dates and joins them together with the Knight family with extremely satisfactory results. The length of this book is more like a novella – my main complaint is that I wish it had been longer.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I love how strong the women in this series are. They don’t take any cr@p from anyone, especially not a man.
In this story, Sienna proves once again how strong a woman can be. She’s not sure what she wants to do with her “career”, but she knows she’s tired of school. Unfortunately, brother Ian thinks she should get her graduate degree. It takes a wild weekend in New York for her to finally realize what she wants.
When she returns to Florida, she is surprised that Ian has spoken with her “escort” for the weekend and she lets him know she doesn’t like being checked up on. Little does she know her escort was the one who called and explained to Ian what it is Sienna really wants. And a short time later, Ian is listening when she comes up with a new idea for his new stadium. Thus a new adventure begins.
Ethan is a closed-off mule of a man since his wife betrayed him and his company. And then passed away. Now, Sienna is opening his eyes to his behavior and his heart to feeling again. Will she be able to get under his skin enough to open his heart to love again?
I enjoyed the love story, but I truly enjoyed Sienna’s story more. Seeing her strength in the face of adversity. Seeing her tell off her brother and Ethan was pure entertainment. Seeing the entire family (minus her father who was MIA) come together when she had her mishap and support her. It really is a testament to her place in the family. I love seeing the Dares again. I have missed them. I hope to see more of them in the future, some way, some how.
Can’t get enough of the Dare & Knight families! The final two from these families end up pairing together somewhat reluctantly. Sienna has overcome so much in her life that now that she is graduated, she isn’t sure what exactly she wants to do with her life. When asked to be part of a prestigious program with a full scholarship, she is unsure, which leads her brother Ian to reach out to his friend Ethan to guide his sister as a favor through the preview of the program. When the pair meets, it’s instant attraction, and Sienna pursues him and succeeds. Twist of fate when he ends up in Miami to work with Sienna’s brother, and it comes out that she’s pregnant. From there, the pair works through getting to know each other while navigating pregnancy in addition to the multitude of siblings and family drama. Per usual, I enjoy Carly’s style of writing and her storylines as well as her ability to continue this series while merging it with another. Can’t wait for Jason’s book up next!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Oh my gosh, I loved this book.
Ethan is a powerful man that has been hurt badly by his dead wife. She cheated, stole and was a druggie, all which Ethan learned after her death of an overdose. Since her death Ethan has had nothing but attitude and wants nothing to do with a woman. So, having to help out a huge client with his sister was not something Ethan wanted to do. Not at all. But it was just one weekend, he could handle one weekend of showing her around his city. That is until he meets Sienna. Sparks fly, feeling gets involved and the feeling of actually “living” again is what keeps Ethan from walking away.
Sienna is a beautiful woman that has had a tough start in life. Now as a grown woman she wants to be able to explore and just be herself without being treated as if she were a fragile piece of glass. Sienna is excited to explore life and consider what her future might be. Meeting Ethan is something she never expected but was happy to explore. Giving him the most precious thing of herself she has to give leads to a whole new future she never expected.
This read is SO good. I enjoyed every minute of it. I was sorry to see it end. Ethan and Sienna are a dream couple. Their sexual chemistry is explosive. You will laugh and fall in love.
i have been waiting for this brother’s book for a while and now that we have it WoW just WOW! IT was oh so worth the wait. When Ethan was clean shaven he was a man to be swoon over but now oh my giddy aunt, now that he has finally over come all that Mandy did to him he is the top of my book boyfriend list. Sienna Dare on the other hand is sweet sheltered and oh so beautiful. She came to town and Ethan and Sienna met. Chemistry is one word to say what went on when they saw each other. It was enough chemistry to get Ethan to the other side of the USA not long afterwards. This is a great way to end this series and for me the best book in this series.
I completely devoured this book in one sitting! Carly Phillips has been a favorite romance author of mine for so many years! She never disappoints, whether what she’s putting out is a novella or full length novel. Her books always leave this reader very happy and content!
Ethan Knight is one HOT but very guarded guy! After being wronged by his wife, he doesn’t put himself out there. When Sienna meets him; the attraction between them is HOT!! I LOVED IT so much! Sienna is part of a huge blended family; which can make it really difficult to form lasting relationships! Sienna seems to have a somewhat good relationship with all her siblings on both sides. Even though she’s the baby and finds out they’ve all been keeping secrets from her. Carly Phillips did a great job portraying this type of family to the readers. At first Ethan didn’t want anything more than a no strings affair but quickly changes his tune. Sienna not knowing if that has to do with their new lifetime connection or if he actually wants to be with her; she makes him work for it! That was the most enjoyable part of this book!
Somehow, I wasn’t surprised about her dad! I had that feeling throughout the entire book. It made me sad for Sienna but I was amazed at how strong she was right off the bat! I love a strong capable heroine and Sienna fits that role perfectly!
Dare Me Tonight is part of a series, although it can be read as a complete standalone. The author gives enough of a backstory of the characters that are part of the series without letting them take over Sienna & Ethan’s story.
In Dare Me Tonight there is a merger of 2 amazing series – the Dares and the Knights. Ethan is a widower who is trying to pull himself out of the hell that was created by his dead wife. Sienna was sheltered as a result of childhood cancer and is trying to finally spread her wings and be an adult. She meets Ethan one night when her brother asks him to escort her to an event. Sparks fly immediately between them. Sienna brings Ethan back to the world of the living. This was a great read that I didn’t want to put down. Another winner by Carly Phillips!!!
Ethan is a man who has been shattered by love, his ex-wife not only cheated on him but stole from the family business. He isn’t looking for a relationship and doesn’t know if he will ever be ready for another committed one. Sienna went through some health problems at a young age and ever since then her family treats her like she can easily be broken. She wants to find herself and figure out just where she fits into not only her family but life itself. When tasked with a wonderful opportunity she jumps a the chance to take it and see what road it will lead her down. Ethan is asked by a new client to watch after his sister while she is visiting his city and agrees to reluctantly. When Ethan and Sienna meet the sparks fly and both aren’t sure what to make of the feelings. Ethan knows he shouldn’t react to them while Sienna is chomping at the bit to do just that. Follow along as these to jump around their true feelings while finding themselves in an unexpected situation. Will love win out and conquer all or will the two not be able to meet in the middle. This was a fun romance that had me on the edge the entire read, I was rooting for the two to figure things out and get together in the end.
Dare Me Tonight, the last book in the Knight Brothers Series was the perfect ending to the series! Ethan and Sienna’s story combined the Knight Brothers along with the Dare siblings so well! This book can be read as a standalone and Carly Phillips does an excellent job of making the readers not miss a thing should they not read all the books in the series (although you really should!). Ethan and Sienna turn a one night stand into something so much more in this incredible romance! I love how they each overcame the obstacles holding them back from love. This was an incredible book!
This is the story of Ethan and Sienna. This is a great story. What they’ve both had to endure during their life is tremendous, yet realistic. It takes really strong people to go through what each of them did and come out on the other side so happy. It’s an intense story. It’s also hot and steamy. I can’t get enough of Carly’s books. I am so looking forward to the next one.
I love when an author brings two of their worlds together!! This book allows us to see the Dares once again–mainly Ian and Sienna–and the Knight brothers-mainly Ethan. I was eager to see how Ethan’s heart was mended after his wife’s lies and cheating was introduced in the first Knight book. Sienna was a quiet character in the Dare series but her optimism always shown through the pages. Sienna and Ethan come together pretty naturally–she is light, he is dark–and it is nice to see how Ethan begins to feel again and how he learns to accept love once again. Sienna has to fight for her chance at being “enough” for someone and is richly rewarded by gaining Ethan’s heart. The only reason for four stars was because I wish the story had been a bit longer and bit more “meatier”–it was a quick read with a great HEA and great visits with past characters.
First things first … technically, you can read all about Ethan Knight without reading the first three books… Sierra, Parker and Sebastian Knight’s journeys… BUT THEY ARE SIBLINGS SO ….. up to you 😉
As far as romance fiction shenanigans go, this book delivered in spades LOL from a virgin heroine to a hero with a shattered past to surprise, we’re having a baby! to age-gap and asshole brothers! I could go on but …. lol And it was ridiculously well put together! Honestly, I can’t think of a better personality than Sienna Dare to help Ethan Knight let go of his past and embrace his future. Their future. Sienna is a powerhouse, ya’ll. DO not be fooled by the whole innocent virgin description LOL She decided what she wanted in her future and she went after it and she didn’t make it easy on Ethan either. He had to prove himself to her, for obvious reasons. Their journey had spark and passion and was just powerful and beautiful!
I’ve enjoyed the Knight family immensely and I’m looking forward to next great romance Carly has to offer! I’ve read quite a few different sub-genres and tropes in the years since I discovered Carly and I can honestly say that it has never been a boring ride!
Finally Sienna’s story! I knew I would love her. She had to be strong and sure and she was written in just the perfect way. Ethan was exactly the man she didn’t know she needed. Their story was full of love and steamy scenes and was a great read by the pool! Thoroughly enjoyed!
