5 star review Sexy Dare (The Sexy Series #1) by Carly Phillips
Book one in an exciting new series from Carly Phillips and I couldn’t wait to dive in. As expected Sexy Dare was well written and had me invested from the first to the last chapter.
Jason Dare is a part owner in nightclub ClubTen29, footloose and fancy free he has no plans to settle down, ever. That is until fate lends a hand in the form of Faith Lancaster who runs a candy shop.
Jason is hot and most definitely swoon worthy, a man it would be easy to fall for. Faith is trying to hide from her drug addicted brother and has no time for a relationship so when Jason suggests a no strings relationship she agrees, after all why not have a little fun? What will happen when Faith’s past catches up with her? Will Jason be able to protect her?
I loved the camaraderie and friendship with the other club owners, his best friends, Tanner Grayson and Landon Bennett which added an extra layer to the story that Ms. Phillips wove.
The chemistry between Jason and Faith is scorching and you could almost feel the flames burn you as you read. Sexy Dare is a highly entertaining story and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
This an amazing romance about two people with a lot of baggage. Jason Dare carries on the Dare family charm and determination when he finally realizes what is important and that’s Faith. I love it!!
I loved Jason and Faith’s story. From the moment they met over her flat tire there were sparks. Even the drama of his family and fear of loss and her crazy addict brother couldn’t keep them apart. Really enjoyed the book and can’t wait for the rest of the series!
I received a review copy before release for an honest review.
This was a very enjoyable romance between Jason Dare and Faith. The two meet on the side of the road when her tires are slashed and they get to know each other as he helps her deal with her evil brother.
But Jason Dare has some BIG issues. This series features three guys, Tanner, Landon and Jason. Landon was a twin with Levi and the rest of the guys were best friends with him. He dies in college in a horrible incident and it bonds the men together. In Jason it makes him afraid of love and caring about people and this fear affects his relationship with Faith.
The characters were interesting and the drama is high as Faith tries to escape her evil brother. It was a well written and enjoyable story and I look forward to the other friends story.
Be warned that the incident with hazing is related to a frat hazing and it was really awful. It totally turned my stomach.
Looking forward for a while of this one about Jason and Carly Phillips definitely didn’t let me down. As always with the Dare family they are steamy romance and off the chart wow factors and Jason sure has all those attributes. After secluding himself pretty much from everyone with the exception of his two college buddies and his family, Jason never intends to let anyone close to him again, it would just be one more person to worry about and have to protect. Until Faith….all Jason’s intentions seem to vanish with one look at the gorgeous candy maker and he can’t stay away and he vows that no one will hurt her while he’s around. A steamy journey along the way for Jason and Faith and you won’t regret following along as these two will capture your heart and you’ll fall in love with another Dare male!
This is first in a new series and can’t wait to see how true love finds it’s way to Jason’s friends, again Carly as always delivers magical, fun, and emotional feelings with her characters. I very much enjoyed every page until the last and you will too!
Jason Dare is determine to live the bachelor life that is until he stops to help Faith change her flat tire. Immediately Jason felt the urge to take care of and protect Faith. After her tire slashed and her store vandalized, Jason was determined to keep Faith safe while still keeping his heart locked up tight. Faith broke down his walls and soon Jason realizes that the love is what his life has been missing. Wow this series is starting off with a bang!!
Insta Love + Alpha Male = My freaking FAVORITE!
I love Carly and this book is no exception! It’s hot and swoony with all the book feels. GO GRAB IT NOW!
This is the story of Jason Dare. Yes, one of “those” Dares. And boy, he doesn’t disappoint. Billionaire, unbelievably handsome, alpha with a heart that he doesn’t feel like he can give to anyone, not just because of how his father treated his mother, his siblings and step-siblings they didn’t know about for a long time, but because of a tragic loss that happened his freshman year of college. Jason has a successful night club and plenty of women to keep him company, in and out of bed.
Faith Lancaster is trying to get lost from her past in New York City, as well as make a name for herself and her sweet treats. The night she meets Jason, she’s standing on the side of the road looking at her delivery van with a flat tire. There are definite sparks, but Jason knows that Faith deserves more than he thinks he’s able to give. A couple of days later, Faith shop is vandalized, making Jason go from being an admirer to being her protector.
Jason moves Faith in with him to keep her safe. He’s having a hard time keeping his hands off of her and she’s fighting the same feelings. Before long they give in to temptation, while trying to keep it casual, knowing that once Faith is no longer in danger from her past, she will go back to her own place. As Faith starts to get more tangled in to Jason’s family and everyday life, will his heart start to thaw? Will Faith be able to walk away? Or will they finally realize they are meant to be together?
I had all the feels while reading this book. I love being back in the land of the Dare Family and hope there are more to come.
If you are looking for a quick, fun and sexy read, look no further than Sexy Dare! Jason and Faith’s story had amazing chemistry, witty banter and the sexiness was HOT! This story had some topics which were handled quite well. I loved seeing other Dare family members popping up throughout the book and I really enjoyed how everything worked out in the end! Another fantastic book from Carly Phillips!
Oh my, Jason Dare hot night club owner is such a handsome fellow with a troubled heart. He doesn’t trust easily and doesn’t think he is worthy of love and should always be alone since he has a full circle of family to protect and doesn’t think there’s room for more. one look at the curvy bottom welding a tire iron and he’s hooked. Faith Lancaster is having a really bad night, all she wants to do is get her candy business Sweet Treats more foot traffic so she can make her little shop successful and staying under the radar and keeping safe from her crazy drug addict brother.
Jason and his 2 best friends, Tanner and London, own a swanky upscale night club and he’s trying to find a way to make it more. His chance encounter with Faith gives him the little niche he was looking for to do that. He is drawn the sexy woman and cant get her off his mind especially when he realizes she is in danger. He will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
This was a great read as all Carly Phillips books are. We get to catch up with the second set of the Dare family and see how they are all doing.
It is no secret that I am a HUGE Carly Phillips fan. I have loved all her books but her Dare family series is my favorite and holds a special place in my heart. I have been dying to read Jason’s book for quite some time now so to say I devoured this book would be an understatement. This book touched my heart in so many ways. To read what Faith has gone through broke my heart but to read what all Jason has endured took that break to a whole other level. I honestly felt like I was right there living all his pain with him as he told Faith why he was the “anti-commitment” person he was. I loved watching both these characters heal together and realize how much having your soul mate with you by your side actually means. I look forward to seeing the rest of the Jason’s club owner friends come to the same realization.
Review by Tabitha
Oh, I just loved those Dare’s! We finally get Jason Dare’s story. Jason is part owner of a thriving New York City nightclub, Club TEN29, with his two best friends, Landon Bennett and Tanner Grayson. On the way home from the club one night, Jason happens upon a curvy blonde kicking the tire of an old van and he pulls over to offer help. He wasn’t expecting to be captivated by the ravishing beauty. Instantly Jason is attracted to Faith Lancaster and for some reason feels very protective of her. Jason asks Faith out and she turns him down. Of course Jason is not one to give up and decides to head to her candy shop. Once he sees that her store has been vandalized he jumps into protector mode, not taking no for an answer.
Faith is very attracted to Jason but because of issues from her past she doesn’t want to get him dragged into trouble. Too bad Jason doesn’t listen and he jumps right in. Next thing Faith knows she is moving into Jason apartment (only for protections) and spending a lot of time alone with him! Of course things heat up very quickly and what goes from a casual hookup turns into something much more. It will take a lot for these two commitment-phobes to actually realize what they want in life is right in front of them but they finally decide to go after what they want so they can get their happy ever after.
I loved this story. Both of the characters were so fun and together they were perfect! Their chemistry was off the charts too! I love revisiting some of the other Dare’s in this story too! I can’t wait for the next book!
I really enjoyed this story of Jason and Faith, since I read it in one day. I liked that they didn’t keep things to themselves on the pretext of “protecting” the other person. That’s not saying that everything is laid right out there (like feelings, background) but their expectations of each other and their circumstances are pretty much up front. Until, of course, when feelings started to run deeper. Another winner from Ms Phillips, can’t wait for the rest of the series!
This fast read is overflowing with heat and romance that gets your heart racing! I was head over heels in love with both Jason and Faith from practically the moment I met them and continued to love them more and more with every page. More than just he immediate sparks that fly between them, there’s a connection that creates something beyond words with these two.
The way they seem to not only understand each other but respect each other’s feelings, even when it may hurt, was a whole new level of love that I could not get enough of.
Get ready to fall in love with another hot alpha Dare!
This is the story we’ve been waiting for, Jason Dare. Jason is living his life in New York and feeling like he can’t let anyone get too close to him because of a tragedy that happened in college to him and his “brothers” Tanner and Landon. You can already tell early in the book that Jason has so much love inside of himself to share with others, but he’s just to afraid to let others in. Thank God he comes upon Faith one night with a flat tire and stops to help her. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I love the way that Jason steps in to help her and opens himself up without really noticing it at first. Faith is the perfect other half for Jason and watching these two fall in love is so beautiful. Faith is such a fierce and independent woman that you just know that she was made for Jason.
I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait to read Tanner and Landon’s stories too.
Jason Dare, the last of the Dare siblings and a story I was sooooo looking forward to. I was not disappointed in this story and held my my interest. A club owner with two friends brought together by a tragic event, they keep themselves closed of to everyone for fear of losing anyone. Until he meet Faith, stranded on the side of the road with a flat tyre. As we read through the book we find Faith isn’t the person we think she is as she ran away from a member of her family and Jason opens up about his friend Levi. In the end will Jason still be the closed off person he always was with no love to give because of his dad, mom, sister being ill and Levi’s death? A great story from this new series.
What a delicious treat. I think it took me less than a second to decide to read this book. Curvy damsel in distress? Colour me interested. She owns a candy store, too. Bonus! Is that a nightclub owner with handy contacts and a protective streak as big as his… charm? Oh, yeah.
The agile and cozy writing style just fed me this hot and catchy romance with no effort. Faith is building her life with sheer will and yummy sweets, but she has a dark shadow putting her in danger. In comes this gorgeous and thoughtful knight in shining armor to rescue her, protect her and tempt her body and heart beyond resistance.
I loved the slow-burn yet sizzling passion, the scars that life has left on Jason’s heart and made him wary, his commitment to see Faith safe, and all his extended family of siblings and friends with their respective families. Very warming.
There are entertaining scenes at the club and her candy store, with his family which makes him realize his fears and flaws. Can we reject exactly what we need? I think so, and that’s what Jason does despite his growing feelings towards this courageous and patient woman.
A happy ending is guaranteed, though. All ends well despite the evil after Faith and her man’s slow acceptance of his own right to love. Lovely and sensual romance. I’m sure I will continue the series with the other two owners of Club TEN29.
This is book one in the Sexy series and it features Jason Dare and Faith Lancaster. He changed a flat tire for a stranger and then couldn’t get her out of his head. When he meets up with her again and realizes someone is deliberately trying to hurt her, he steps in to protect her. The chemistry was there from the start. I love how easy they fell into step with each other. Jason is just so stuck in the past and his own ideals that he doesn’t see what’s right in front of him.
I love re-visiting so many of the Dare siblings. The thread with Savannah and Robert was shocking and unexpected! The high point with Colton was over too easy and way too fast. As big a deal as the whole Charlotte thread was made out to be, when it happened, it was over before you could blink and was disappointing. Despite these couple things, this was still a fabulous read and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Sexy Dare is the first book in The Sexy Series. Just so you know Sexy Dare is a spinoff from the Dare to Love Series.
I read this book in an afternoon so not to long of a read. And lord knows it’s a sexy read for a Sexy Dare! This is Jason Dare and Faith Lancaster’s story.
Faith gets curbside service when Jason comes to the rescue after she is stuck on the side of the road needing help and he becomes her very own bodyguard.
They find their attraction is mutual and their attraction goes off the charts when they stop resisting each other. You gotta love these Dare’s and I do!!!
Phillips shows a little slight of hand. Sexy Dare is a temptation, shrouded in mystery and daring enough to be bold. She needs a hero. He craves a purpose. What happens when a couple of strangers unwittingly stumble onto their heart’s desire? Faith and Jason find themselves fighting a losing battle. Phillips thrusts readers into a tango of hearts that proves to be treacherous. Heartache, danger and romance await to stir up a bit of adventure in the soul.
