Another wonderfully written book by S.B. Alexander! I loved returning to the roots of the Maxwell Series and seeing where life led Kade and Lacey. They are my favorite characters and the reason I fell in love with the series in the first place. I can never get enough!! The entire series is a must read!
I’ve been waiting what seems like forever to have another book about Kade and Lacey! In the previous books you hear about each of their issues, lives, the love they share for family and each other. You get to see them grow and evolve. In this book you get to see how their love for each other has grow and stayed strong. At the beginning I was a bit worried about their goals. Starting their family is very important to Kade and Lacey both BUT baseball is just as important to Lacey. She feels she has to choose between the two, starting a family or continue with baseball. In the end it all works out!! LOVE THIS BOOK!!! Susan is amazing!
So many times an author writes a “story continuation” that just does not live up to the story where the characters were first introduced. That is not true for S.B. Alexander as she brings more to those of us who fell in love with the original story of Kade and Lacy. This story just gives us so much more as we get to pick up there story where Lacy is now living her dream of playing professional baseball. Kade is trying to be patient while he waits for the next stage in their married life, starting a family. We see struggles, pain, miscommunication and the story of what true love between two people who were destined to be together. Can their love survive the obstacles that keep popping up in their lives. Truly a beautifully written book that I was lucky enough to get to read. Keep the Maxwell Family stories coming!
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
There is nothing better than reading about Kade and Lacey. I love these characters. I enjoyed reading their journey from high schoolers to now adults planning out their future! Love those Maxwell brothers. The whole clan has been an enjoyment to learn about and grow with. Hugs Susan- another winner
The storyline was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each and every page I felt like Kade and Lacey jumped from the pages and pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
I really enjoyed reading more about Kade and Lacey, they’ve gone through a lot of trials and tribulations but always manage to get through it even stronger. These two are so in sync that you can’t help but fall in love with them
Dare to Embrace
By S.B. Alexander
Main Characters: Kade and Lacey
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars
This is book seven in the Maxwell contemporary romance series. Kade and Lacey had so many obstacles to overcome in their romance. Love Susan Alexander’s books as they have a story to go along with all the hot sex. The Maxwell’s are a wonderful family, the kind you want to be a part of.
Another amazing book from S.B. Alexander. I can’t get enough of Kade and Lacey. This book shows the struggles couples go through in a marriage and the compromises it takes to make one work. It was great to see the other Maxwells as well. It was steamy and very hot! Kade is so swoon worthy! It’s just a wonderful family and love this series so much! Definitely recommend these!
Great series,very interesting and engaging.
Kade and Lacey have been through so much together and this book just made the story even better.
Storyline line just get sucked you in, so much love and emotion . Twist and turns,just like things happen in life.
It’s no way you will not like Maxwell family.
This book was great!!! It had me feeling all kinds of emotions! Kade and Lacey have had to overcome so many obstacles, and struggles, and having to make difficult choices for their ftamily. Getting to see where their story takes them has been an emotional rollercoaster ride!! I can’t wait to see how the rest of The Maxwell’s turn out. Susan Alexander definetly hit it out of the ballpark…..AGAIN!!!!!
This book kept me up all night. I needed to know how it would end and wow! What an ending. Kade and Lacey are such incredible characters that by now, I feel like they are old friends. Kade is still managing the nightclub and Lacey is playing in the minor leagues as the first woman professional baseball player. But life has a way of circimventing the best laid plans. Kade and Lacey have to make life changing decisions. Will she continue to play baseball? Will she quit to start a family? Will Kade travel with her and leave the nightclub?
This author answers all these questions and ties up the story with a large (pink or blue?) bow. I can’t wait to drop in and see how the other Maxwells are faring, especially Marcus!
Susan Alexander has created a place where the Maxwell family lives and loves. This novella explores the relationship between Lacey and Kade, pulling in other family members whom her readers have come to know and love. I truly enjoyed the story and read it all in three days, which is a record for me.
There were a lot of twists and turns as we discover both Lacey and Kade’s concerns about their young married life. As they thought about what they wanted and then tried to reconcile that with what their partner wanted, they found out that sometimes life takes matters into its own hands.
The reader fell in love with Lacey and Kade’s story from the first book in the series and they will not disappointed with the direction of this book. S. B. Alexander once again fills her characters with raw emotions and their journey is filled with tough decisions and heartwarming endings. Lacey and Kade have overcome so much and there are not many road blocks that can stop them from moving forward. A wonderful addition to the series.
Another one knocked out of the park by S.B. Alexander.
Kade and Lacey have always been a favorite of mine since they are the begining of the maxwell series and to see how they’ve grown as a couple has been a wonderful journey.
The little surprises throughput this book were wonderful.

When we first met Lacey and Kade in Dare to Kiss I fell in love with them!! Throughout the whole series we have watched their relationship grow and overcome so many obstacles and this book is no different! Many difficult decisions are made and many changes occur in their life! u2063
u2063
I love how much we have seen Lacey and Kade grow as individuals! Lacey really has come so far from her PTSD! Kade has come far from that kid in high school.u2063
u2063
With Lacey living in Portland playing baseball and Kade living at home and going back and forth to see her it definitely puts a strain on both of them that they have to overcome. u2063
u2063
Even though they don’t have any mobsters out to get them anymore doesn’t mean this book isn’t filled with great drama and excitement!! Everyone definitely needs to read about the next part of Lacey and Kade’s journey!! { }
This story was amazing. Like expected this author did not let me down. Love the Maxwell family
I loved every single minute of this book. I fell in love with Kade at the start of this series, and I love him even more now!! Watching this couple grow from book one to now has been truly heartwarming. The whole family are so close, and Kade loves his family. I look forward to reading more of the spin off series about his cousins. Kade has done so much for them, and I’m hoping for more glimpses of Kade through his cousins eyes. Thank you for this series, Susan!!
