He rejected her. She loathes him. Now they have to fool everyone and pretend they actually like each other. Tanner Harris has been busy shagging his way through the ladies of east London, but getting caught by the paparazzi buck-naked with his trouser snake in his hands means he’s sowed his last wild oat. Dr. Belle Ryan once thought Tanner Harris was the perfect kind of bearded bad boy she needed … bad boy she needed to relieve a bit of stress after her intense job as a surgical fellow, but an icy cold rejection from London’s sluttiest footballer puts the two at each other’s throats.
Fate and a favour conspire to put Tanner and Belle back in each other’s paths and they’re forced to do a lot more than get along to save face and their careers.
Rage turns to passion and tempers run sizzling hot when they realise they aren’t just falling for each other—they’re jumping head first. And neither have the endurance to keep their hands to themselves.

I am a total Harris junkie now!!’ These are not the first books I have read by Amy Daws but they are my favorite!! I wonder How does this author come up with some of this stuff?? I mean having the Harris Brothers living in her head. Just boggles my mind. This story is filled with so many moments to love. From the snarky name calling to the bromance between Tanner and Cam even the Big Spoon, Little Spoon. It’s ALL outstanding.
Belle and Tanner are so perfect together! Both are outrageous, have a certain brand of crazy at times and they both make me shake my head. But yet they work. I love the tender moments of Tanner while missing Cam on the pitch and as a roomie. Then we have Belle who makes me sad with her family issues and how they still affect her. But i love Tequila Sunrises and her bestie, Indy. The growth these characters have done impresses me.
Honestly I wasn’t a fan of Tanner after the last book and felt he needed some redeeming qualities before I could read his book. So I wasn’t a huge fan before reading this. NOW…..Now I am so impressed with everything Tanner has become I THANK the writer of this spectacular guy….Probably one of my favorite books and I am so glad I have it on audio. That way I can listen instead of just read. Plus those accents! *Swoonworthy!*
The epilogue!!! OMG!! My favorite!! I am in awe of Amy Daws right now!!!!! I BOW DOWN saying *I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy!” **Spectacular**
The two narrators ( Will M. Watt and Charlotte Cole) are amazing as they immense me into the English/British language. I can’t stress how much they encompass these characters. The laughing, yelling, and hope are so *real*. Will M. Watt even sounds heartbroken splendidly. It really helps me identify more with the character when this is done.
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the full length novel Endurance (Harris Brothers Book 2)by Amy Daws and this review was given freely.
A dramatic opening and the softer side of Camden’s twin Tanner are balance with family drama and a steamy romance. Kat throws two timing Tanner out of her apartment naked and penniless after catching him with her sister and only the spurned Belle can help him. Tanner tries to hide his attraction to fetal Surgeon and Indie’s roommate Belle but only succeeds in offending her and adding to her insecurities until a fake relationship leads to love.
Over 18 is recommended as this is a highly descriptive novel with frank language.
I’m probably going to say this on every review, but seriously why haven’t I been reading Amy Daws?
Endurance was funny, witty, romantic and my life goal is to be Belle Ryan now.
Tanner and Belle’s characters were perfection. I laughed at every turn and some parts even had me teary.
Normally I’m not a big romantic comedy fan, but I sure am an Amy Daws fan. Her comedy is perfection and I still get all the feels from the romance.
Side note* I actually listened to this book on audible and the narrators are 10 stars perfect. I loved the way it was narrated and I’ll be buying the next book on audible as well.
This is my first book with this amazing family and I have to wonder what took me so long to listen to them. I love the banter between these two and the chemistry is explosive. These two will keep each other on their toes for the rest of their lives. I will definitely be listening to the rest of this family’s stories.
Narration is fantastic! I love the emotions and events that these two deliver in this book.

I have fallen in love with the Harris brothers.. I can’t wait for more…
I just knew Tanner and Belles story was going to be great and it was more than I ever expected.. those Harris boys bring me to my knees.
I absolutely loved reading this book! It had all the feels and I couldn’t get enough. This story has everything and more. Love, laughter, romance and above all dedication… Definitely a must read and worth 5 stars!
Tanner is one of the famous Harris brothers in the football world and with his twin brother now gone to play for another team, he is so far out of control that it takes one night to have him almost lose it all. He will have to clean up his act and to do that, here comes Belle. A woman he has been trying to let go off but with everything going on, she seems like the only one to salvage the situation. Not only for him, but also for her and her family. What begins as a fake relationship, turns out to be so much more than they both bargained for, and what a ride it will be…
Tanner can big spoon me any day
This book was soooo good. I was dying for more of Tanner and Belle after Camden and Indie’s book Challenge. Tanner is Camden’s twin brother and he’s hilarious and total Manwhore but you cant help but luv him. Tanner is goin through a bit of a crazy stage in his life. He’s bedding more woman football isn’t goin well for him. His life has changed since Camden has gone to play for Arsenal and his not liking it. He is feeling lonely in some way. He has alway had Camden with him if they were in the same house they played along side each other in the football and if not that they were wingmen for each other. So now that’s all gone well bar sharing a house together. So Tanner has a reason for his craziness, but when he gets himself into a sticky situation and needs help. He just didn’t expect Belle to turn up and help and she was the last person he wanted help from.
Dr Bella Ryan is a great character I really like her and I m glad I got to know her more. Bella is a hard working woman and knows what she wants. Her family are high class well to do people there also snotty and just not nice. She has done what they wanted from her in life she she basically removed herself from them. It still hurt the way they treat her but she is happy with the family she has and that’s Indie. She is everything rolled into one. They meet in med school and they haven’t been apart since. Belle isn’t great with relationships so one her and Indie Tequila Sunrise nite she makes the most of finding got men to hook up with. It’s just easier for Bella this way no gets to see her crazy side and she can concentrate on work. Well that was the plan until she helped Tanner Harris out.
These two did get cosy together one nite nothing happened but there flirting was on point. After that nite Tanner changed and was just an arse he has his reason but Bella didn’t know what was goin on she her walls went up and there lil war started. The way these two are with each other is so funny. The fight all the time and then are thrown together it’s not the ideal situation but they both have to do it. This just starts more fighting and more smoking hot sexual tension between them. There are so hot together and make the best couple. But they both are deal with things that make it hard for it to be smooth.
I still kicking myself for not staying this series sooner. I m luving these Harris men so much. There so different but so sexy. I really enjoyed this story, I luv enemies to lovers storyline. There so good and full of drama. I was dying to know how these to were goin to work out there problems with each it’s was so funny seeing they get each hot and bothered and get closer. I can’t wait to read more of this series and get more of these men. The book are so addictive and I would highly recommend them.
Lori, you have my permission to say “I told you so!”
I have been like a collector, hoarding Amy Daws ebooks and audiobooks. Adding them to my kindle and audio app, putting them on my TBR and thinking they sound good and I should find a good starting point to reading them. And a friend (Lori) has been telling me that I can just pick up any one and read them in any order and I’m going to love them. Well, I finally listened and downloaded Endurance, and saying that I loved it is a giant understatement!!
I started listening to the audiobook and the narrators are absolutely amazing! I fell in love with the characters, the story and the voices all in the opening chapters.
“I hate Tanner. I really hate him. But mostly, I hate my attraction to him. That dumb, boyish smirk and the way he shakes his head from side to side to get his hair out of his face. And that stupid sweatband I’ve seen him wear around his forehead when he’s on the pitch makes him look like a complete man-child.
But he did not look like a child when he was naked in my car the other night. And he did not feel like a child when he was pressed up against me in the alley two nights ago.”
Endurance is the second book in The Harris Brothers series. A bit of a friend (or enemy) to lover type of story. It can be read as a standalone, but only made me want more of this family and this author! A great balance of fun, sweet, and heat!
-5 Stars!-
Two of my favorite tropes rolled into one fantastic book!! I LOVE enemies to lovers because the chemistry is always explosive and then to have these two people who seemingly hate each other enter into a fake relationship made this book absolutely amazing!!
I’m loving everything about the Harris family and I can’t wait to dive into more!!
The Harris brothers are bloody amazing! (See what I did there? 😉 ) Cam is still my favorite and I have a feeling Booker is going to be a close second, but Tanner is still one heck of a sexy British footballer! I loved the snarky banter between Tanner and Belle. Belle has a sharp tongue and Tanner is her perfect match. They literally had be laughing out loud at my desk. I definitely have a newfound appreciation for mankinis after reading Endurance and I’m sure you will too!
I highly recommend the audiobook version of Endurance, because Will Watt and Charlotte Cole are amazing narrators and the accents really help bring the story to life.
4.5 STARS
NO SPOILERS!
Endurance was a sexy, angsty, and entertaining standalone sports romance set in the Harris Brothers series, and I really enjoyed it! The storyline and characters were wonderful, and I loved Amy Daws’s writing style and sense of humor.
Tanner and Belle were amazing, and I loved them and their story. I really liked their personalities and red-hot chemistry together, and how their relationship progressed throughout. I loved reading the book from both Tanner and Belle’s point of view, and most of their banter and interactions with each other. This was definitely an enemies-to-lovers romance, so there was a lot of back and forth between Tanner and Belle. Their relationship was very hot and cold, and the constant up and down moments between them was annoying and frustrating at times. I really loved Tanner and Belle, but they both had their pros and cons. I honestly liked Tanner more than Belle. He was easygoing and laid-back, while she was kind of all over the place with her emotions. I understood why she sometimes acted that way, but it still got on my nerves quite often. Despite some of the unpleasant times between Tanner and Belle, there were plenty of amazing ones as well. Their love story definitely wasn’t an easy journey, but all of it was worth it in the end. I loved getting to see members of the Harris family again, and a few other secondary characters from Challenge (Harris Brothers Book 1). There was one particular character that I loathed, but I won’t tell you who it was; you’ll have to find out for yourself. Even though Endurance was only a 4.5-star read for me, it was still enjoyable from beginning to end, and I was very pleased with the conclusion to Tanner and Belle’s story.
Endurance was a sexy and entertaining standalone sports romance, and even though it hasn’t been my favorite book from Amy Daws so far, it had a ton of amazing qualities, and I would certainly recommend it! Amy Daws did a great job with this book, and I was very happy with the outcome to Tanner and Belle’s story. I have immensely enjoyed the Harris Brothers series thus far, and I can’t wait to read Booker and Poppy’s story in Keeper next!
Endurance by Amy Daws a five-star read that you will want to score with. This is the second book In the Harris Brothers series and what a book, Tanner Harris you broke me. This was a re-read for me as I read the series ages ago and Big brother Gareth has a book coming soon so I figured a re-read was in order and I loved it eve harder this time around, it could be the world cup fever taking over the UK at the moment. But I was proud to be a Harris Ho and wearing the T-Shirt. Tanner is the bad boy we all love to admire but wouldn’t want to touch with someone else’s as you never know what you might catch. But that being said in a pinch we all would. If I had a naked Tanner jump into my car I may never stop. Belle has a bac bone and I loved that about her, Amy Daws writes men who make you drool, but women you would happily have a hangover for after to many tequila sunrises. These brothers just keep surprising me, now all I need to do is find out what secrets quiet handsy Keeper has and I will be sorted.
Insanity and hotness, this book has both and a HEA!
My revisiting the Harris brothers continues. Tanner is sort of the family clown. He’s hot and follows the crazy. He is the crazy. Belle is his kind of crazy. And he is hers. They end up fake dating due to some damage control needed after Belle has to rescue his naked a** after he angers his one night stand. He’s busy being a wild and misguided footballer after Camden (his twin) gets promoted to a major team. He feels rudderless. And he majorly messed up with Belle because her bff, Indie, is now dating his twin. He has a lot to make up for. He and Belle are combustible. There is a lot of heat from the fires they build in one another. Belle is a doctor who specializes in saving babies. She is smart, sassy, sexy, and absolutely nuts. Tanner helps her learn to accept herself and his love. Another Harris will steal into your heart.
“Just tell me you want me.” I sniff, unable to find my words with his aching eyes on me. He moves his mouth to my ear and whispers, “That’s all you have to do.” He breathes in deeply. “Because I’m already yours.”
When I met Tanner in Challenge, I thought he was just a superficial manwhore. I knew he loved his family, but there was just not much visible below the surface. Within the first few chapters I realized that I was terribly wrong about Tanner — he was absolutely more than her appeared. I actually fell a little in love with him.
Belle Ryan … LOVE! I totally loved her after meeting her in Challenge and I knew she needed more in her life. She is so similar to Indie, it’s no wonder they were drawn to each other for strength during their med school/internship days. Belle exudes confidence. She snarky, intelligent, quick-witted, and owns her space. Although she keeps a lot hidden, she always seemed to have everything together. When Tanner crashes into her life, she seems a bit shaken and her insecurities begin to surface.
I knew I was going to love Tanner and Belle’s story after a couple of things. One, the opening scene and something that Tanner does to help someone else. Two, when he sees though Belle’s facade. I don’t know why this is bothering me so much, but it is. Belle projects all the confidence in the world, but sometimes it’s the loudest women that have the most to hide. At this moment I just knew there was more to Tanner. Third, and lastly, “Dad, I love her. It was like…it felt like…” I stammer. “Like…marry her or quit breathing, and I chose to marry her. Football wasn’t even a factor.”
These Harris brothers are a lot more than I was expecting. I kind of love their whole family.
These Harris brothers!!! I need more of them!!!

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
Oh man I love the Harris brothers! I enjoyed this book so much, as I did when I read Challenge. I’m so glad I stumbled upon Amy Daws and her books. I really need to get onto reading her other series as well.
Tanner is such a cocky character in this book, yet he’s so much fun and so surprisingly sweet in other parts as well. Not to mention he’s a babe 😉
Belle is so sure of herself most of the time, so getting the glimpses into her life properly and understanding her was really awesome.
I loved getting all the other Harris family members and of course Indie as well. Sedge is a cool new character we get to meet, and I hope we see more of him in the next books in the background somewhere.
This book was funny, sexy, and emotional all rolled into one. I loved it. Bring on more Harris brothers please!
Tanner has rejected Belle and she is hurt more than she knows by this rejection. So when a scandal causes them to have to pretend to be involved with each other it makes things tough on both of them. They fight each other and the attraction they feel.
I loved this book. Tanner is the perfect bad boy and Belle is such a strong and sassy woman. The story is one that will keep you enthralled and engaged. Belle and Tanner will burn up your kindle. Amy Daws is simply an amazing author and one I will read over and over again.
Will M. Watt and Charlotte Cole are perfect together for the narration. The dual narration is the best I have ever heard and every audio book should be done this way.
