When I say glorious chemistry, I mean all kinds of chemistry. Evie and Damon had chemistry even when they were bantering back and forth trying to put a shield around their feelings! I haven’t read a book this fast in a while! These two were just delicious to read and I honestly felt attached to the story because it wasn’t far-fetched at all. I know, I know … <i>shenanigans</i> lol but I don’t use that word in a negative way. Yes, there is a lot going on in the book, but it all blended very well together and did not bog the story down or make it OTT. It was quite relatable, in fact. <br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1596579542i/29916848._SY540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>This book ticked all the right <i>romance fiction</i> boxes for me. I felt close to the characters and could relate to them, the story was entertaining and held my attention, and it had a perfect blend of sexy and emotion!

4.5 stars<br /><br />This was a great story about two total opposites who are working together, but cannot avoid the magnetic pull that drags them together. Evie is very attracted to Damon, but he has made it clear that she is not his type. When she has to pretend to be his girlfriend, she shows him that there is more to her than meets the eye. Damon is the love them and leave them type. When they are pushed together after an issue arises, he realizes that he has been wrong about her all along. Can they make a relationship work, or will they be torn apart? These characters are so wonderfully damaged and use humor to hid their feelings. Their families are funny and very close, and I really hope that Evie’s brothers get their own stories.<br /><br />Review copy provided for a voluntary review.

Damon Prescott is part of such a big family, I don’t even know how they know who is who ? Damon is a star pro quarterback and after he gets a terrible concussion during one of his games, a random team drug test shows a positive result and now not just does he have a concussion but his been suspended for from playing football plus people think he takes drugs. He knows he doesn’t take drugs but how can he prove it when the evidence is there for all to see. And why would someone set him up like this??<br /><br />Evie Wolfe is a private investigator, with 4 brothers. When her best friend Quinn asks her to help her soon to be brother in law prove that someone set him up, the only solution is to pose as Damon’s girlfriend to get closer to the people in his life. Let’s just hope she remembers its just pretend. Adding into all this chaos her ex shows up and things seem to be getting a bit out of control. Adding in that she might be attracted to Damon more than she wants to be. But how can she trust another man after what her ex did to her, and especially a playboy quarterback.<br /><br />I loved the chemistry between Damon and Evie and their back and forth banter and the flirting was just too good. I loved that even though it was a ‘pretend’ relationship, Damon was all in right from the get go. Both characters had their own difficulties, but I liked that even though it was pretend they were stronger and better together and Evie definitely changed the playboy’s ways ❤ ?<br /><br />Reviewed on behalf of<br />Fay's Corner<br /><br />

Dare To Tempt is the second book in the Dare Nation series by Carly Phillips. Each book is a stand-alone so you can simply dive into this one. I loved this book and it was very close to a 5 star read but the epilogue ruined the whole thing and left a sour taste in my mouth. <br /><br />This is the second time in the same week where the secondary couple ruins the book for me. It's getting annoying. Throughout the book, it was obvious that Jaxon and Macy were going to be the main couple of the next book and I wanted to see where things were going to go because Jaxon kept expressing his interest in Macy. Then in the epilogue, we learn that the day before he slept with another woman and it ruined the mood for me. I hate it when the hero is flirting with the heroine and then goes and sleeps with someone else. I had a similar issue with another CP book recently and the only certain thing is that I am not going to touch Jaxon's book.<br /><br />Up to that point, I loved that I was reading and the main couple was great. Evie and Damon worked for me so well and Evie is a badarse. I would have liked a little more loving Damon, a Damon who showed his appreciation of her more, but overall, I was happy with both of them. <br /><br />There are a lot of things going on and there wasn't a dull moment in the book. I would recommend it!

5 Stars!<br /><br />Carly Phillips is back with another unforgettable love story and y'all, is it me or do these books get better and better with each new release.<br /><br />Dare to Tempt, the second in the Dare Nation series, was a sweet, steamy, suspenseful, unputdownable romance packed with all the feels on just about on every page and so many edge of your seat moments, that got me right from the start to the very end. And just wait until you meet Evie and Damon, gahhhhh I really loved them.<br /><br />Carly Phillips is one of the best at what she does- create beautiful, thrilling, intruguing, heated love stories with characters that you never want to leave and to die for alphas that'll crank that swoon meter so very high.<br /><br />This new DARE book, Dare to Tempt, was everything in the very best ways, a standalone to boot, and y'all, I couldn't put it down until the very. last. word.<br /><br />I highly recommend this book.<br /><br />Reviewed for Renee Entress's Blog.

Each Dare Nation book I read just keeps getting better and Dare To Tempt was no exception! This book was sexy, suspenseful, drama and witty banter so how could you go wrong..... you can't! Damon and Evie's relationship may have started out fake but it definitely ended with so much more because Damon was determined to get the girl and prove he wasn't just the playboy he was made out to be. If you've enjoyed the Dare Nation series so far then you will absolutely love this book!

Damon’s life gets turned upside down when he’s suspended from his team on the basis of something he knows he didn’t do, enter Evie who is going to do some digging and help him clear his name and find out who’s setting him up only problem is Damon is looking for much more from her and she’s determined not to let guard down but he’s hard to resist

<b> <i>5 Proving His Innocence Stars!!!</i> </b><br /><br />Yet another winner from Carly Phillips!! I LOVE Damon so freaking much!!! I adore how much he loves his family, he’s an alpha at all the right moments and can admit when he’s wrong and this comes into play when he sees a new side of Evie Wolfe his sister’s BFF when she’s hired to help him prove he wasn’t taking steroids! <br /><br />His reaction to Evie the very first time he saw her play the role they’ve setup for her had me chuckling as well and fanning myself because man oh man this woman is ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS!! She’s beautiful inside and out, smart, doesn’t need a man to complete her and she’s really good at her job…even though she thinks she won’t fall for Damon…. There’s a wrinkle in that plan because they just can’t deny their chemistry!<br /><br />Evie goes about her investigation with cunning smarts and skill not leaving any rock unearthed to find the guilty party. Seeing how Damon’s respect for her evolved through the book just made me lover him more. He’s not afraid to admit he’s wrong and when they cross that proverbial line….bring out the fire extinguishers because holy moly hotness!!!<br /><br />Seeing how her investigation followed the clues was fascinating especially when we get the “who done it” moment because WOWZA wasn’t expecting that!! <br /><br />Ms. Phillips has given us a story that’s engaging, funny, sexy, swoony and everything I love about her writing! I highly recommend this book and this series as well as all of her other books because you’ll never be disappointed when you read her books!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br /><br />Dare to Tempt is the second book in the Dare Nation series and what a perfect addition it was. Between the playful banter, the simmering sexual tension and the little splash of danger, it was a quick and easy flowing read that held my attention all the way to the end.<br /><br />When Damon fails a drug test and his football career is at risk, Evie is hired to find the truth. To further her investigation and to escape from her very dangerous and crazed ex, Evie and Damon begin a fake relationship. <br /><br />Evie has had her heart broken and her trust betrayed by her previous partner, leaving her with doubts about her judgement and very wary of beginning a new relationship. Despite her insecurities, she remains the badass private investigator she was before. She was strong willed, fiercely independent and sassy. <br /><br />Damon has always been known as a player. Never known to be in a relationship or tying himself to one woman but that quickly changes when surprising and unexpected emotions for Evie consume him. Looking past his player status, Damon definitely had some redeeming qualities. He is protective, loyal, patient and I loved how he supported Evie’s decisions and need to be independent. <br /><br />It was great to catch up with Austin, Quinn and the rest of the Prescott/Dare family and I am super excited for the release of the next instalment in the series and to read Jaxon and Macy’s story next. <br /><br />ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review. <br />
