This is a great read and new series, but with a Dare man. I love the dares and this book did not disappoint. Jason and Faith are a great couple that you can’t help but root for. Getting to see some of the dare family in these reads is always great. I can’t wait to read the next few books in this series because Carly Phillips never disappoints. This was pure sweetness.
This was such a fun fast read for me! I LOVE this author and her Knight Brother’s books are a favorite so I was super excited to get my hands on the other side of the family and get Jason Dare’s story! I loved these characters and this story line! I am always dying to get my hands on any protector turned lover romance and this one did not disappoint! Faith was such a strong amazing character and my heart broke for everything that she was going through. Jason had his own demons haunting him and was convinced that love was never in the cards. When Jason found Faith with the flat tire little did the two realize but their lives were about to be turned upside down! The chemistry between them was instant and the protectiveness Jason felt was a surprise for sure. With both having other things in their lives to focus on romance was not a priority and their connection was a shock to the both of them.
Full of drama, suspense and a roller coaster ride of emotions you will want to one click this book ASAP!

I love the Dare’s and excited that we get to start the Sexy Series with Jason! I loved his background and the way this series spins off from the family we come to love. I have a feeling there is a lot of emotional feelings coming our way!
Faith and Jason are a match made from the start. Their chemistry that started as a spark becomes an inferno. You will come to love and hate the way Jason beats around the bush. But then it happens. Jason puts his heart on the line and spills his secrets to Faith and it all falls into place. I loved the characters and the set up of this story. Sexy Dare is highly addicting and will have your heart beating fast!
Jason and Faith bring a new fresh take on the Dare’s. We met Jason a few times in the other Dare books and we couldn’t quite get a good read on him. All we knew was that he loved his family and friends with his whole heart. When he meets Faith, he does everything he can to keep her at a distance emotionally but someone from her past will keep him close. He is willing to protect her with everything he has because he refuses to lose another person. Faith is just working on getting her business off the ground when she meets Jason. Her past is coming back to destroy her no matter what. When Jason offers her protection and his bed how can she refuse. She wants his heart, but he must be willing to let go of the past to open his heart and drop his walls.
Jason is my favorite of the Dare’s so far because of his big heart. Faith is a strong-willed woman who is working hard to make her business a success when her past comes back to haunt her. All through this Jason and Faith pursue a relationship that surpasses their expectations. I love all the characters in this story and the story flows scene to scene with a purpose. This story gives off a sense of family and love. Even with the small amount of suspense you still get that feel good vibe from the characters. I will say it again that this is my favorite Dare book so far.
Sexy Dare is a quick, steamy and heartfelt quick story. The first in The Sexy Series, that will have you hooked from the get go. It was wonderful to visit the Dare Family again, and I loved Jason and Faith’s story, their relationship is something everyone wishes they could have. Who doesn’t love an alpha man, that always puts his woman’s needs above his own, don’t miss out on Jason and Faith.
In true Carly Phillips fashion she delivered us a couple we could easily fall in love with. She was a feisty woman who was running away from her past and trying to build a life were she could be happy. Enters Jason Dare who by helping her discovers that there is more to life than just business and meaningless hookups.
I loved the way his family and friends embraced her without too much of a fuss. And don’t make me start about the amazing chemistry they had.
This book was definitely finished in one sitting leaving me wanting to start the next book in the series ASAP.

10.15.19 Sexy Dare Carly Phillips
Ohhhhh just love these Dares. So hot. So alpha. So yum. This book gripped me right from the beginning with Jason and Faith. This was so good, I’m really looking forward to re-reading the previous Dare books. Carly writes some good stuff!!!!!
This book was quite good. It was a quick, well written read that allowed us to visit the Dare family again. In this one Jason has been actively avoiding anyone else that he would have to care about but when he meets Faith all of his plans go out the window. Faith knows that the hot Jason Dare is just trying to help her and keep her safe from her drug addict brother but he is everything she could want in a man only he doesn’t want more. The story about how they get together and make things work is definitely worth a read!
*I received an ARC for and honest review**
Wowza, straight outta the gate this is a fast paced, fast love story!
You get action, you get mystery and oh how you get the heat.
This is the story of Jason and Faith. A chance meeting, a damsel in distress and then you get the swoons.
Faith is starting over, running from a past that is ugly. She finds herself falling for an alpha with possesive streak.
Jason is the eptiome of alpha male. He is handsome, he is a take charge kind of guy and he sees a woman in need in Faith. But he has scars of his own and he doesn’t want the feels that comes with knowing and wanting Faith.
I always enjoy reading Ms. Phillips stories and this is no exception!
This is the story of Jason & Faith. He stops to help her when he sees she has a flat tire on the side of the road. Their attraction is immediate. He’s a protector for sure when he notices her tire was slashed. There are aspects to this story which are heartbreaking for each of them. She owns a candy shop. He is partners in a nightclub. There is a very good storyline to this story, and a very good plot. It’s an attention holder for sure. I finished this in one sitting. Carly Phillips does not disappoint with this story. Can’t wait for the second book in this series.
The moment Jason Dare spots a beautiful blonde stranded alongside the road he knows he has to stop, and once he does, upon further inspection of said blonde, he is so happy he decided to be a good samaritan. She is witty, gorgeous, feisty and smart… totally someone he would love to spend quality time with.
Faith Lancaster is doing all she can to get her business up and going, but when she heads out to do a delivery she discovers that her van tire has been slashed. And suddenly she feels the turmoil stirring up in her belly, because that means that there is a good chance that her past has caught up to her. But before she can get too worried about the tire, a sexy good Samaritan stops to help her. She does her best to try not to get wrapped up in his good looks and smooth words… but Jason Dare is a very convincing man!
Sexy Dare is a scintillating and sultry little page-turner that will lure you in from the very first sentence, and hold you captive until the last. I loved what I found between the pages of this one, the words were mesmerizing and rich with emotion, and the characters were so easy to love. It had a good balance between steamy and heartfelt, it had me swimming in feels and swoons the whole way through. What a wonderful start to a new series, it was highly entertaining and left me aching for more, can’t wait to see what the next installment holds! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
The Dare’s are back and hotter than ever….
Jason Dare has spent his life watching over people…his family, his friends, and it has often led to tragedy. He just can’t take on anyone else.
Faith Lancaster was a sweet treat he didn’t expect. The innocent candy maker caught up in some trouble with her family needed a hero. Enter Jason Dare.
This is a HEA with lots of sweet and heat. But most importantly we get to continue to follow the saga of the Dare family. If you haven’t read the earlier books, you can read this as a stand alone but do yourself a favor and start at the beginning. You will adore it!
Jason Dare is a whole lot of sexy who takes care of those he loves but he’s afraid to let more people into his world. He doesn’t deal with loss well and has suffered some incredible losses over the years. When he stumbles upon Faith as she kicks a flat tire, he has to stop and help. What he never expects is to find a strong, confident woman that has trouble stalking her. Faith can’t believe her luck when she realizes her new delivery van has a flat but the sexy stranger that stops to help puts all her senses on high alert. She has been so focused on building her candy shop that everything else in her life has faded to the background. When she finds her business vandalized, she knows her brother has found her. The last thing she expects is for Jason to show up and offer her the solace she needs to feel safe. As these two become roommates, the physical attraction gets harder to fight. I love how Jason is willing to do whatever it takes to help someone and for Faith, he allows her to continue to focus on her business. The moment he truly let Faith into his pain was gut-wrenching and very telling on how his feelings toward relationships may have shifted. This is a great blend of two strong characters as they helped each other cope with the challenges in their lives. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

And Carly Phillips does it again!! She gave us a hunky Alpha Hero and a heroine who is sassy and independent and will bring Jason to his knees.
Sexy Dare is the first book in Carly’s newest Sexy Series. This first book, I guess, you could consider to be a spin-off or a companion novel to her Dare Series. This one is Jason Dare’s story, but you don’t have to read any other book to fully enjoy this book. As with any Carly Phillip books, she does an amazing job filling in the missing pieces if you choose to read her books out of order. As you meet each of her new characters, she seamlessly blends them into the world you might have missed.
As I have said this book is a standalone novel built into her Dare world. This is told in third person POV, but we get the thoughts of both Jason and Faith. I thought the pace and flow of the story was great. I loved that she added a bit of suspense into this story. I will say I thought the ending was a bit rushed but after reading the epilogue, I was ok with how it all ended.
In this book we follow Jason Dare and Faith Lancaster. Jason is one of the New York Dares. He has some serious trust issues steaming from his father and he also had a tragic loss in his life, so he doesn’t let anyone close to his heart. So when he comes upon Faith on the side of the road with a flat tire and decides to help, he doesn’t know how much that interaction will change his life. Faith Lancaster is a single woman trying to make something of her candy business. Running from a past she is hoping won’t catch up to her, she has lead a lonely life. So when a dark knight stops and help her on the side of the road, she is hesitant to let him in. Little did she know that Jason Dare always gets what he wants 😉 I loved watching these two characters grow throughout the story. Especially Jason, he had so many walls up, it was great to see those come down over time. I really liked these two together. I loved the added suspense Carly wrote into the book, it had me turning the pages as fast as I could just to see what happens.
I enjoyed seeing other Dare family members in this book. I always like getting back in with past characters, to see where their stories have come. I also loved getting to meet Landon and Tanner. I look forward to their stories in the future.
I would recommend this book/series to all romance readers out there. If you haven’t read a Carly Phillips book, you are really missing out. You need to experience her writing!!!
Finally we get the story of Jason Dare! We have had the stories of all the other Dare siblings, cousins, half siblings, and, oh my, who is next…Jason, he is uber sexy and worth the wait! Just as he is on his way to meet Gabe (remember him, a cousin from a previous series) he spies a damsel in distress on the side of the road and absolutely has to stop and help. After getting his hands dirty changing a tire, she gifts him with some of her candies which he shares with Gabe and soon Faith is brought into the fold (so to speak) by way of her business (though it is the perfect way for Jason to get to see her again since she turned down a date. With Faith’s life in jeopardy, Jason steps up and brings her into his home and he turns protective and moves her into his home. This is supposed to be only until her brother is found and the danger is over but when feelings become involved it anything can happen. I so enjoyed this story and cannot wait to watch the other partners in TEN29 to fall! Tanner and Landon and going to be fun to watch get theirs!
***4.5 Stars***
I totally devoured this baby.
I couldn’t (*cough* wouldn’t) put it down.
Jason and Faith were all kinds of fun, sweet, swoon worthy and smexy and I NEEDED to see them get their HEA (Yes, I know the book wasn’t going anywhere, but once I’m in. I’m ALL. IN.) and was quite happy with how things worked out!
I adored Jason and Faith, Faith a tinsy bit more, but the difference is minor in the big scheme of things. Faith is strong, determined and simply a sweetheart. She doesn’t back down easily and yet she isn’t one to turn down help just to soothe her pride. Jason is complex. He loves hard and will do anything for those he calls his own, but works very hard at keeping everyone at arm’s length to protect his bruised heart.
Faith and Jase’s journey to their HEA was a lot of fun, regardless of all that was going on around them. The chemistry between them was there from the start and only grew the more they were around each other. I loved their bantering, the smexy was HAWT and I really enjoyed how they opened up to each other about their pasts, wants and needs. There were a few bumps in the road for them, but I liked how they were handled and how everything worked out in the end.
Sexy Dare was a fun read, even as it touched on some pretty heavy topics ~ which were all handled very well. The writing was engaging, the pacing was good and I loved the dual first person POV’s. I also loved seeing the various Dare family members pop in and out of the story as well as an interesting little nugget that was dropped on an ongoing secondary story. But I cannot wait for the next two books in this series. Landon and Tanner definitely have my attention and I’m totally looking forward to watching these two fall!

A story that is easy to sink into and forget real life, this is romance telling at its best but with a suspenseful twist. Gripping with just a smidgin of heartache and a whole lot of falling in love, bonus is the hot sexual content, what’s not to love. I read all the original Dare series and a lot of the linked books by other authors quite a while back so its nice to catch up with some favourite characters that I love and add to them. Well written story that blends well with the past books and takes us on a journey of protection and instant attraction that builds into a strong love. Loved it.
I absolutely loved this book and it’s sexy hero Jason Dare! This is a fantastic start to a new series that still includes a lot of characters we already know and love. We’ve certainly heard about Jason (Jase) but he is definitely now a favorite of mine for sure after getting to know him. He is totally swoonworthy. Gorgeous, protective and so tortured by his past that he doesn’t think he can ever have what so many in his own family have come to find, real everlasting love. Jason and his his two best friends, Landon and Tanner own Club TEN29. The reason they chose this name is really special. Faith is the owner of Sweet Treats, a candy store, which makes Jason’s nicknames for her that much more adorable. Faith is on the run, but from whom is what will shock you. A chance meeting with Jase, obvious chemistry and a quick connection and soon he decides she is his to protect. Only he doesn’t think he can keep her once the danger is over. But can he? Loved their story from beginning to end! Can’t wait for Tanner’s book next!
I loved this one! First book in a new series, but with a hero who’s story we’ve been waiting on for a long time!
Jason Dare tries not to let anyone too close. He’s got his giant family, and his 2 “brothers” and best friends, and that’s all the room he’s got for caring about, and worrying about people. After they lost the 4th member of their pack back in college, in a very tragic, and unexpected way, he closed himself off to letting anyone else into his heart. He owns a nightclub with his 2 best friends in NYC, and they’re looking for a way to break away from the crowd and make their mark. While on his way to a business meeting one night, he spots a woman on the side of the road with a flat tire, and stops to help. That choice will change his life forever, in so many different ways.
Faith Lancaster has had a rough life. She just lost her mom, who was the only family she had after her dad split when she was a kid, and her brother was lost to them due to his drug addiction. But after her mom’s death, her brother showed back up for what he thought was coming to him, only to find out their mother disinherited him, knowing he would just blow it all on drugs. He was furious, and he attacked Faith. So, she packed up and left the next day, moved to the big city, and changed her last name, hoping he could never find her. She’s started her own candy shop, where she makes everything herself, and she’s having some success. She wants to grow her business more, but the flat tire on her delivery van sure isn’t helping. When a sexy man in an expensive suit stops to help her, she’s not sure what to think of him.
Jason and Faith have chemistry right out of the gate, but they both have their reasons for keeping their distance. Jason is determined that no one and nothing can get under his skin ever again. Faith is afraid if her brother finds her, he’ll hurt her again, or hurt others she’s close to, to get to her. Especially after her tire is slashed, and her candy shop is vandalized, she fears he’s already found her, and now she’s just waiting and hoping that she can stay safe from him. When Jason finds out she needs even more help than he realized, he’s determined to keep her safe, and moves her into his place. They have tension. SO MUCH TENSION. And when it finally breaks, it is glorious fireworks.
There was a side plot here with Jason’s parents pending divorce, and how that was affecting everyone. I finally felt like I had a real feel for Savannah, Jason’s mom, after all this time of just being the “other woman” in most of the earlier Dare series books. I felt bad for her and the terrible situation she found herself in, and how she chose to deal with it made me like her a lot more.
The other side characters here were some of our favorites from the Dare family, as well as Jason’s best friends, who will be the heroes of the next 2 books. I’m very intrigued by the connection the three of them have, and how the other two guys will come to terms with falling in love. All 3 of them hardened their hearts in different ways after their best friend’s/brother’s death, and I can’t wait to see them both open up again, like Jason did in this book. Kicking and screaming all the way, of course!
I really loved this story of 2 damaged people, finding happiness and completion in each other, and making each other, and themselves, so much better in the process. I always recommend this author’s words, but I adored this one so very much!
Guys, you need to one-click this hot story right now! Just the chemistry alone…GAH!!! Get it. Just get it…I swear you won’t regret it!
