DARE TO TEMPT RELEASE BLAST


Release Date: August 4

He’s a smooth talking jock in trouble.  

She’s the solution to his problems.

Love is the last thing they expected to find.

Damon Prescott had it all. Star quarterback. Money. Fame. 
Now? 
He’s being accused of taking performance enhancing drugs and banned from the sport and team he loves.


Determined to prove he’s innocent, he hires tough as nails private investigator, Evie Wolfe. 
She’s able to bring a man to his knees with a glare, yet sensual in ways that take him off guard - and she’s everything Damon didn’t know he needed. 


Evie’s used to men dismissing her, especially playboys like Damon Prescott so she’s not buying the sexual lines he’s trying to sell. She’s with him to do a job, nothing more. But you know what they say about the best laid plans? Sometimes you end up between the sheets with an arrogant football player anyway.



But when the case is over, can Damon convince Evie she’s the only woman for him or will she leave him tied up in love?

Liza's Review:

There is just something about those Dare men...Carly Phillips once again slayed me with Dare to Tempt. Damon Prescott and Evie Wolfe are both such amazingly strong characters, and I loved the growth of both over the course of Dare to Tempt.

Damon Prescott is pretty much the golden boy of football. He is the starting quarterback for the Miami Thunder, until a random drug test following an injury during a preseason game shows a positive test for performance enhancing drugs. Following a family meeting with his sports agent older brother, he hires Evie Wolfe to help find out how he tested positive. 

Damon and Evie have a good bit of animosity between them upon their initial meeting, and I had to agree with Evie that he was being a bit of a jerk. Damon didn't believe Evie could convince anyone she was his girlfriend.  Evie has her very own style and it runs more to jeans and biker boots than glamorous dresses. I loved how Evie absolutely made Damon speechless the first time he saw her dressed up for her role as his pretend girlfriend so she could be around his teammates in public places. Evie is such an intelligent and fierce woman. I swear she might be one of my favorite characters ever from Carly Phillips. She sees things from an outsider's perspective and has a very diligent work ethic, which makes her such an amazing private investigator.

I absolutely adored Damon and Evie as a couple...you know once Damon took his foot out of his mouth. I have to say from their very first kiss I knew these two were absolutely perfect for one another. I loved they were each so protective of each other from the start, yet Damon saw Evie as a woman who could still take care of herself. I think that was so very important for Evie, especially with the history with her ex. The sexual chemistry between these two was scorching hot from their very first meeting. Seriously, I had mad love for them together. 

I always love to get time with characters from previous books, and loved that Austin and Quinn had a good bit of page time. Of course, since Austin is Damon's older brother and Quinn is Evie's best friend, it made perfect sense. I also loved meeting all of Evie's family, especially her 4 brothers and spending time with Uncle Paul and the rest of the Prescott family.

I loved every minute of Damon and Evie's journey. They worked together to solve any problem thrown at them be it figuring out the positive PED situation or dealing with Evie's ex. This couple gave me all the happy feels and I loved that I laughed and happy sighed so many times while reading their story. The Dare Nation series of books is off to a solid start with the first two books in the series. I can't wait to see where Ms. Phillips takes us next with the Prescott clan.
