Just One More Dare by Carly Phillips - ARC Review




A runaway bride.
Her older brother’s off-limits friend.
Taking one more shot at love should be easy, right?
Not on a dare.

Samantha Dare had one thought when she found out her fiancĂ© was a lyingcheater. Escape. So, she ran from her wedding…straight into the arms of the man who once gave her the hottest kiss of her life. But rebounding with her brother’s friend would be a huge mistake…wouldn’t it?

The last thing Dex Sterling needed was more chaos in his life. Retiring from football and starting over in broadcasting gave him plenty of that. But even though Samantha is chaos personified, for some reason, he’s still not able to keep his mind—or hands—off her…

Is a little bit of forced proximity and a lot of sexual chemistry enough to earn them a second chance at happily ever after?

Samantha and Dex are about to find out…

Just One More Dare, book 2 in the Sterling Family series, is a light, spicy, best friend’s little sister/forbidden, contemporary sports romance that can be read as a standalone. Download today and get ready to fall for the youngest Dare and the man of her dreams!

For long-time readers: Yes, that Samantha Dare! Yes, you will see Ian Dare!

For new to me readers: A stand-alone story of two people with a history of attraction.





I can't lie, I love a good runaway bride story, and this one was a lot of fun. Carly Phillips is definitely an author who excels at telling a fun story with characters you enjoy and situations that are fun, and engaging.

Samantha and Dax met on her wedding day...as she fled her own wedding. I liked that they met in a way that made it interesting but not a foregone conclusion that things were going to work out, as it's hard to say that wasn't at least potentially a rebound relationship. I also liked that there were challenges for them on their way to the HEA, which of course they end up with, as this is a romance after all.

I am not going to rehash the plot or really talk about what happens, but I am going to focus on the fact that I enjoyed this story and it was a pleasure to read.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
