There’s something about a bodyguard/protection story that just gets me all rev’d up and Sexy Dare got me going from page one!
One thing (out of many) that Carly Phillips does exceptionally well is write stories with possessive, swoon-worthy, alpha males that make your panties melt and your heart melt all at the same time! I mean daaaamn, Jason hit that mark tenfold! And Faith … she’s a character we can all root for. They both are. This story was incredibly well told. It unfolded perfectly and the slow sizzling burn between Jason and Faith fit the story perfectly.
I’m looking forward to reading more from this series. Carly has already introduced us to future characters, and they are solid. I think this series is going to soar just as much as this book did and I can’t wait!
Delicious Book!
From Playboy to Knight in Shining Armor to a man of just wants One Woman. Jason Dare doesn’t want a serious relationship but that was until he met the sexy Candy Maker that turned his world upside down. Jason and Faith have an instant connection and a fast-paced romance but every feeling was there that I love about Carly’s books. I am so looking forward to reading about Jason’s partners find their other halves because they might be more stubborn then Jason.
Carly did an amazing job with this one. Jason and Faith story gives you every thing you come to expect from Carly. Jason protectiveness right from the start makes him a pretty amazing guy, It’s funny, romantic and you really get lost in the story and their developing relationship.
Jason and Faith’s story was so emotionally charged and unexpected.. Being a good guy can sometimes change your entire life in ways you never expected or wanted..Faith and Jason both have some heavy baggage but together they are unbreakable.. Hope Tanner and Landon get there own story because I absolutely loved Jason’s story and those three deserve to be happy…
5 There’s a Reason for Everything
I don’t think I’ll ever have enough of the Dare family with this first book in The Sexy Series we’re finally getting Jason Dare’s story and what a story it is. I’ve always known there was something that’s been haunting Jason that he hasn’t been able to share with any of his family. We also get the meaning of the uber-popular nightclub Jason owns and runs with his two best friends.
Faith is in NYC looking for a fresh start after having to run from her hometown and the last thing she’s looking for is love. But fate has other plans for her when Jason Dare literally saves her from a flat tire… and so begins their relationship that’s somewhat terse to begin with but clearly there’s an attraction.
Both our H/h are hiding something that’s defining how they live today. One that is haunting and one that is dangerous. Needless to say, Jason isn’t going to let anything happen to this beautiful woman especially when he can’t seem to get her out of his system!
I loved every single thing about this book. Faith is a woman that has real curves, is sassy and doesn’t take anything she doesn’t feel she’s earned. She’s determined to make her candy business a success and Jason Dare is just getting in her way by distracting her with all his sexiness. Jason is quite shocked by his reaction to Faith and his wanting to protect her which brings them closer and closer and there’s only so much they do to prevent from falling in bed and then in love!
The more I read the more I loved these two together. Faith is slowly but surely heeling Jason from the inside out. Since his college days he’s been somewhat standoffish from his family and no one understood why. Thanks to Faith and her love for this man that allows him to be more vulnerable than he’s been in a long time. And their passion is hot and sizzling!
Ms. Phillips has given us a story that I fell in love with and getting my favorite family in addition makes it that much better because we’re getting all sorts of updates from each of them and really seeing that even though some of them were brought together by a family scandal they’ve overcome what was basically forced on them and proven that there’s more to being a family than just blood!
Sexy Dare is just as sexy as the title implies.
After devastating loss in his past Jason keeps those he cares about to a small number. Not letting anyone in saves him the pain of loss but also the joy of love. That is until he mets Faith and before he knows it he has taken her in and has become her protector and falling in love. Something he can’t seem to stop himself from doing.
Faith has spent the last year rebuilding her life and a business of making amazing candy. She has taken care of herself for awhile and doesn’t want an alpha male to get involved in her life and her problems and doesn’t want Jason hurt by her past.
They can’t help the pull or attraction that binds them together. Will their pasts keep them from moving forward and embracing their happy and love?
The attraction and heat in this book is awesome and I was rooting for sexy Jason and strong Faith from the very first sliced tire scene.

Love that we are back to the New York Dares! A “come to the rescue” meeting, instant attraction, and the “alpha protector” instinct kicks in.
Mix an intense business man with a sexy, running from her past, start-up business woman and there are sure to be sparks (definitely enough to start a fire)!
I was so pleased to see a curvy model in the book cover. The issue of her having a very curvy figure is mentioned in the book but the H does an excellent job of showing the h why he loves her curves.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is an exciting book about a Dare family member. Jason has experienced alot of loss for his young age. He believes that he will have less pain if he only has a small circle of people he cares about. When he stops to help Faith late one night can he keep that promise to himself? Faith has problems of her own that makes her not want to get involved with anyone. A great start to a new series and extending a familiar series.
I loved this story and how you were able to keep the series going. I loved that with everything he had been through he was able to have a happy ending.

Who doesn’t love a sexy, hot, protective hero?! And when his last name is Dare? Yes please! 🙂
Jason and Faiths love story in Sexy Dare, book one in The Sexy series by Carly Phillips is another winner. Ms. Phillips once again gives us a protective alpha male hero wanting to save a damsel in distress.
Jason Dare never stood a chance once he noticed the curvy blonde stuck on the side of the road; especially when he realized she was in danger. Candy maker Faith Lancaster spends all her time building her business while keeping to herself; hiding from her troubled brother. Meeting Jason awakens desires that she has long denied. Jason is concerned for her safety and being an alpha male, becomes her bodyguard, her roommate, and soon her lover. As these two sexy people spend more and more time together, they fall hard for each other as the electricity sparks and grows. Facing her past makes Faith stronger as she realizes how much she deserves a man like Jason Dare in her life.
Ms. Phillips wrote a wonderfully emotional and sexy story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Jason and Faith a chance for happiness, love and a future together. I highly recommend Sexy Dare to other readers.

SEXY DARE is the first instalment in Carly Phillips contemporary, adult THE SEXY erotic, romance series, a cross-over with the author’s DARE series. This is billionaire nightclub owner Jason Dare, and twenty-five year old, candy maker Faith Lancaster’s storyline. SEXY DARE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the DARE series is revealed where necessary. Several characters cross-over for cohesion and familiarity.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Jason and Faith) SEXY DARE follows the building relationship between billionaire nightclub owner Jason Dare, and twenty-five year old, candy maker Faith Lancaster. Faith Lancaster owns the candy story Sweet Treats, and is hoping some of the local merchants will help promote and sell her candy but a flat tire finds Faith in need of assistance, a flat tire that looks suspicious to our storyline hero. Enter billionaire nightclub owner Jason Dare, the man with whom Faith would fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Jason and Faith, and the potential fall-out as their time together draws to a close.
Faith Lancaster is in hiding from her past but her past is about to destroy her well-ordered world. After a series of attacks against her business and home, Jason offers up his apartment to our storyline heroine, an offer that brings our couple closer together. Jason Dare doesn’t do relationships in the aftermath of his father’s numerous affairs and revelations of a secret family but watching his siblings find their own happily ever after finds Jason pining for a future with the woman that calls to his heart.
The relationship between Faith and Jason is one of immediate attraction. Faith is a woman who is trying to stay one step ahead of her past, a past that is demanding everything and more. When Jason offers up the safety and solitude of his own private quarters, Faith finds herself falling for a man who refuses to fall for anyone else. The chemistry is sizzling; the $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Jason’s business partners at Club TEN29- Tanner Grayson and Landon Bennett: Jason’s sister Sienna and brother in law Ethan Knight: his cousin Gabriel Dare and wife Izzy; Faith’s employee Kelsey Johnson; and Faith’s brother Colton.
SEXY DARE is a story of vengeance, greed and betrayal; family, friendship, romance and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the characters are energetic, dynamic, flirty and sassy; the romance is seductive and steamy. SEXY DARE is a fast paced, spicy and spirited introduction to Carly Phillips’ new SEXY series.
I really thought this was a really good story. I loved Jason and Faith. Jason was the perfect alpha hero and protector. I so loved that Faith was a curvy girl!!! Us curvy girls deserve their HEA.
Sexy Dare is sexy and entertaining with family, conflict, banter, and heat. Jason is a handsome and sexy nightclub owner who is focused only on taking his nightclub to the next level. He’s very protective but has no desire to have a wife and kids of his own. Faith is independent and creative. She’s focused on growing her business and will worry about love and relationships later. There are immediate sparks when Jason happens to meet Faith on the side of the road. They butt heads as Faith refuses to be a damsel in distress relying on a man. Carly Phillips provides a great cast of characters in a promising start to a new series.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Sexy Dare is book 1 in the Sexy series by Carly Phillips and oh what a way to start this new series!
We have read about the men who own the NY nightclub called TEN29 in prior books about the Dare families and now is Jason Dare’s story…he’s a sexy, alpha, confirmed bachelor, determined to make their nightclub the best of the best but he needs a new angle to make that happen..what he doesn’t expect is stopping to help some ladies change a tire and find the woman who changes his life for the better…
Faith Lancaster, hiding from her past and is working to build her candy business up, ends up with a flat tire and when a sexy, handsome man stops to help sparks fly…but she has to stay under the radar and she just knows that won’t happen if he gets mixed up with her knight in a sexy suit!
What happens next between these two will keep you turning pages, wondering when the shoe will drop, keeping her safe from her past, moving from the past into the future and opening their hearts to a HEA…
Y’ALL! I absolutely loved this book! It was so perfectly slow-burn with a ton of chemistry that just kept the pages turning! Faith and Jason don’t have an easy path to their HEA, but I loved that we got to see how Jason comes to terms with his feelings and accepting what he needs to do in his life! I also loved his protectiveness over Faith….definitely swoon worthy!
Sexy Dare has ALL my favorite things: A easy to follow and steamy plot, a drool worthy alpha male hero, a curvy and extraordinary heroine and a romance that will make you SWOON!
Carly Phillips new book is wonderful! Sweet, heart melting, heart felt and amazing, I fell in love with the characters from the moment they were introduced. They had such fantastic chemistry you could feel the heat flying off the pages. And the fact that our heroine is curvy made this book PERFECT for me. I don’t get enough romances with curvy heroines as I like so when I do find one, I snatch them up quickly. And knowing I get a curvy heroine from one of my favorite authors? PERFECTION!
Sexy Dare gets a HEART MELTING, WEAK-IN-THE-KNEES FIVE SCORCHING STARS!
When billionaire Jason Dare sees a stranded van on the side of the road, he can’t help but stop to offer his assistance. Thank God he did stop, because the driver of the van is the woman who will make his heart feel again – IF HE LETS HER IN!
Nothing gets to me more than a damaged alpha being brought to his knees by love, and damn is that trope done well here in Sexy Dare!! Jason is deliciously broody and tortured, and Faith, tough, strong as nails Faith, is the perfect woman to bring him to his knees. I’m just glad Carly didn’t give me an overload of angst while Jason was taking his head out of his ass and figuring out that he was in love for the first time, and that he really deserved that love that Faith offered him. If all of The Sexy series is going to be this yummy, then I am so there!
