Great Start to a Great Story. I read the synopsis and could NOT wait to read this book. Once I started I could not put this book down. Austin and Quinn’s story was captivating. It’s a bit of insta-love but set at a slow burn pace. It’s filled with all the delicious things one would want in a quick read. A great story with characters with off the chart chemistry. Austin is a former NFL star who owns a sports agency firm. He is looking for an Executive Assistant. In walks Quinnlynn aka Quinn. But although their attraction was instant, they decided to keep their relationship professional. Until a little someone appears in their lives. Austin comes home to find a baby on his door step. The only person he feels comfortable turning to for help is Quinn. With Austin out of his depth, he asks her to move in. This is where things heat up. Now in close quarters they not only learn that they make a great team for caring for a child but they also finally give into their attraction. I couldn’t get enough of them. This is the first book in the Dare Nation series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. I have not read all of Carly’s Dare series and was able to follow along and enjoy this story with no problem. She does a great job of giving a quick recap of the characters and their backgrounds. This a great start to what I know is a great series.

Review: Dare Nation 1: Dare To Resist. Dare To Resist by Carly Phillips is the first book in her brand new Dare Nation series. Moving Dare adjacent to the Prescott family, biologically the children of Paul Dare who donated sperm when the Prescott dad learned he couldn't father children, and Paul was happy to be the"uncle" to the kids and live his life with his partner. We open with the story of Austin Prescott and Quinnlyn Stone. Austin is in desperate need of an executive assistant and she is in desperate need of a job. Austin has a couple of weeks to get her ready to roll before he goes under the knife to donate one of his kidneys to his uncle (bio dad) Paul and will then be out of work for six weeks. Upon meeting Quinn for the first time it's obvious she has what it takes to keep his company in order while he is out, never mind the desperate attraction they feel towards one another. He needs a competent assistant more than he needs to scratch that itch and she needs job, the security and the income more than having a fling with her boss. But fast forward a year, add a baby on Austin's doorstep, a plea for help and some desperate measures and things really start to heat up between these two. There is just something about this entire Dare family and all the off-shoots that are irresistible. The romance is sweet, the sex is steamy, the angst levels are manageable but evoking and the happily ever afters are well-won. Loved it! I cannot wait for more of this family, the frequent glimpses into previous characters current lives, and the chemistry that just sparkles every time Carly Phillips puts pen to page. Enjoy!

Dare to Resist. Pretty good. I’d read Ian’s Dare story in a different series and loved it. This one was good but I just couldn’t buy the fact the baby was left on Austin’s porch with a note. It just wasn’t believable.

Ex NFL Player + Abandoned Baby = HOT Read. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review. Dare To Resist is a spinoff series of Carly Phillips’ Dare series. Although it is a spinoff, this side of the family, these a full standalone book. This is the 1st book in the new series. Austin is a former football pro turned sports agent. Quinn is his sexy but super efficient assistant. Although there is some serious chemistry, Austin and Quinn have kept their relationship strictly professional. When Austin comes home to find a baby on his doorstep he calls Quinn for help. Quinn agrees to help Austin with baby Jenny while making it clear it is only temporary as she has decided she doesn't want children. Soon they begin to feel too much like a family and their chemistry is too much to resist. This book is written from a third-person dual POV so the only drawback is that I found myself having to keep track of whose side I was reading. Austin and Quinn manage to have plenty of sizzle while allowing their sweet side to shine through.

Fun, sexy read!. Austin Prescott is a sports agent and a Dare family member....a fun story for another day! He meets his new assistant Quinn a few days before he has surgery to help a family member. These two have a moment and then decided to not pursue it and be professional. Then, a year later a infant is left on his doorstep and he calls Quinn for help. Austin needs help, still has the hots for Quinn. She’s helping him with the baby, anything can happen!

Dare to Resist. Recommend this series great read..

Cute, but short.. I liked this story but I thought it could have been longer. The ending felt rushed, as well as unbelievable if you know anything about the police. I would read the other books in this series if they were longer and/or cost less.

Great!!. Defiantly a page turner!

Another winner!. Another winner from Ms Phillips. This was an easy read and, as always, well written. I liked that Austin and Quinn didn’t just jump into a personal relationship even though there was a lot of chemistry between them. It was understandable why Quinn was reluctant to have a relationship with Austin, especially adding a baby into the mix. The way that she had to take care of so many siblings and cousins would put off anyone to having children in the future. What she didn’t realize was that, as an adult, she would be the one making that decision not someone else. This was a great read to get your mind off of any depressing current events.

Amazing book.. I loved every detail.

Dare to resist. By Carley Phillips Another cute Dare story! Applebooks

Finding a baby on his doorstep he called Quinn. Austin knows he can’t live without Quinn and his daughter Jenny. Now to put on the charm and win the girl!

Dare To Resist. A good book

Austin & Quinn. Well written, better edited than most, it captured my interest clear to the end.

Dare to Resist. Great read

Welcome Back Dare's. Welcome back, Dares!!!! This is a new nation of Dare’s, Carly Phillips incredible family from the earlier series. And I am so happy to have more Dare’s in the picture. This begins the stories of the Prescott’s, who are Dare’s from another Dad! (you’ll figure it out). First, we meet Austin. Urgently needing an executive assistant due to a medical crisis, he hires Quinn Stone. As much chemistry as they have at the initial meeting, he doesn’t date employees, so they will be friends only. Quinn has finally gotten a life for herself. She basically raised her siblings and cousins and managed to get an education. Now she wants to live the life she deserves. She won’t endanger it just because the new boss is hot. But one little blue-eyed sweetie is going to change everything for both of them. Loads of family information, lots of steam, and as always, another family I know I’m going to love. Thanks, Carly….

Good Read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Did not want to put it down. Great characters that had chemistry.

Could not resist. Loved this read, beginning of another great series and meeting some old friends. Some of my favorite books by Carly Phillips is the dare series and this is a off shoot of them. Nothing better than complicated family trees. Austin and Quinn are a great couple that you can’t help but root for and their chemistry is off the charts. What better than having a baby in the mix. I cannot wait for the next edition in this series an to keep up with this family and the dare family.

Everything she didn’t realize she wanted. Big alpha ex-football player Austin holding a tiny infant girl paints such an awesome and sexy picture. I love how he steps up to the task of taking care of the unexpected surprise of little Jenny. I also appreciate how Austin isn't afraid to ask for help, especially from his executive assistant Quinn. Their chemistry is apparent and can't be ignored unfortunately, Quinn has a firm belief in what her life should look like and it doesn't include children. This spin-off Dare series has a very promising beginning and I already pre-ordered the next book.

Office romance, Dare style!. The Dare family continues to grow. A new branch of Dare’s is reveled when Austin’s Uncle Philip needs a kidney, his secret is brought to light. Austin needs an assistant in place before he donates a kidney to his uncle, actually his biological father. Quinn is an excellent assistant, except that Austin wants her for more than an assistant. Quinn needs a job and working for Austin is a dream job, except for the naughty dreams she has about her boss. Everything goes well until a baby is left on Austin’s doorstep and he calls Quinn for help. One week of playing house and their feeling for each other can no longer be denied. Carly Phillips writes an interesting twist to the Dare family tree. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A different branch of the Dare family!. 4.5 Stars This is book one in the Dare Nation series and it features Austin Prescott and Quinnlyn Stone. Austin came home one night to find a baby on his porch. Panicked, he called his very efficient, very sexy executive assistant for help. These two throw off some serious sparks whenever they’re together. Quinn is great with kids but doesn’t want any of her own. When all is said and done, what’s left for two people in love when one wants children and the other doesn’t? This is a fabulous series starter! The characters are well rounded and have steady growth throughout. All the Prescott siblings are Paul Dare’s biological children through sperm donation. They all know but still refer to him as Uncle Paul. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in this series!

Dare to Resist. As with all the Carly Phillips books, this one was great! Sexy, sweet, with a great plot and characters.

Dare to love ❤️. A terrific start to a new series by this fabulous author. Always one to give us swoon-worthy characters and a story to cause a few heart problems. Melting, aching, breaking and most of all heartfelt. Our hero, the sexy ex-footballer Austin and the wonderful Quinn are a dream couple. They started out hot, moved on because an office romance is taboo and then when he needed her she came through. A surprise baby will melt your heart as Austin struggles to be a dad and Quinn comes to his rescue. The old sparks between the two are fanned as they worked together for the baby. What a family they make! This is a fantastic office romance and surprise baby storyline with so many emotions and a few laughs. Worth the read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Dare To Resist. It was really a great book! I enjoyed reading it and had a hard time putting it down. The characters were outstanding and the author wrote the book in such a way, you were there with them.

Sweet & Spicy. 4.5 stars for this fun yet emotional, sweet yet spicy story. I really enjoyed it! Carly Phillips brings us back into the the Dare/Prescott family for a wonderful story to start out her new Dare Nation series. Lovable characters and an easy flowing story line draw you in from the beginning and keep you invested and hopeful throughout. When Austin hires Quinn to be his assistant he ends up needing to suppress things he starts to feel for her very early on and he is successful at that. But he never expected how things would change in the course of a year. When he finds Jenny, a tiny little bundle of joy he finds on his doorstep, Quinn steps up to help him side by side. Suddenly all the feelings Austin has held back for the last year surface and he can’t deny them anymore. Looking forward to more of these awesome characters and this new series!

amazing!!!. loved this book! i don’t usually read third person pov and can barely ever get past the first few chapters, but this book is so well written that i couldn’t put it down!!

Perfect Start to a new series. Dare to Resist is book 1 in The Dare Nation and what a great start to the new series from Ms Phillips. The Dares are one family I can’t get enough off and I was excited to see we were getting a spin of from their series and let me tell you this book was everything I expected and more. Austin Prescott is at the top of his profession, he was a great football player and now he is a great sports agent but is he ready to be a great dad!!! Well he is about to find out because he just found baby Jenny on his doorstep...... Austin does what any top professional would do and that’s call his executive assistant Quinn Stone to get help. Quinn is used to babies and she comes in and takes over organising the nursery as well as teaching Austin how to care for Jenny , what neither of them expected was for the time spent together left both of them fighting feelings for each other. Will Jenny bring them closer together or will the pressure force them further apart....... This book ticked all my boxes, we have a swoon worthy ex football player and a strong and confident woman who both want the best for Jenny, this couple are adorable and easy to love and once you add in the rest of this extended family and friends you get the perfect read. This story has the perfect mix of passion, humour with a hint of angst and teal,y can’t wait for book 2. Great start to a new series.

Dare to aresist. Light endearing romance. Worth reading to its successful conclusion

Entertaining. I was so excited when I learnt that Carly Phillips was commencing a new series and with Dare to Resist she is off to a flying start. There is something about her style of writing that I love. The Preston siblings sound like an intriguing group and I cannot wait to read more in their series. Dare to Resist ticks all the boxes for me, from Alpha males, to feisty heroines, to family love and support, throw in a surprise baby and I was riveted from the first to the last page. This is Austin Prescott and Quinnlyn (Quinn) Stone’s story and though not a particularly long read, it was highly entertaining. The chemistry and attraction between Austin and Quinn has simmered for over a year as she works as his assistant and they have done their best to ignore it although it is scorching and intense. When a surprise baby is left on Austin’s doorstep, he immediately asks his assistant to help. Quinn of course is happy to help and unknown to Austin she has had plenty of experience with babies, having virtually raised her siblings. When he convinces Quinn to move in to help out, the chemistry that has been simmering explodes. I loved the slow build in their relationship, it was sweet, romantic and steamy. I also loved how all in Austin was with baby Jenny, even though he didn’t know whether she was actually his. Watching Quinn’s growth as she realized that all her pre conceived ideas of not having children needed to be re assessed was heart warming. Dare To Resist was an emotional, totally hot and altogether great read which I didn’t want to put down.

Can’t wait for the next book in this series! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow. WoW! Just WoW! Really fun to read :)

Looking forward to more. Love the Dares and enjoyed this beginning of a new series! What do you get when you mix a hotshot sports agent with a surprise baby and very attractive new employee?? A fun, flirty, hilarious and happy ever after!! Definitely a great read and a promising new series!!

emotional and inspiring. DARE TO RESIST is the first instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult DARE NATION erotic, romance series focusing on the Prescott/ Dare family-another spin off from the author’s DARE TO LOVE series. This is sports agent Austin Prescott, and PA Quinnlyn Stone’s story line. You do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow the current timeline but like the original series, there is a back story involving the Dare family, and by extension the Prescott family. Told from dual third person perspectives (Quinn and Austin) DARE TO RESIST follows the forbidden relationship between thirty four year old, sports agent Austin Prescott, and twenty-eight year old PA Quinnlyn Stone. Austin Prescott was in desperate need of a new PA; with his father / uncle’s upcoming surgery, and Austin donating a much needed kidney, our hero was struggling with his depleting time line. Enter PA Quinnlyn Stone, and the woman with whom Austin will fall in love but all does not go according to plan when an abandoned baby is found on Austin’s doorstep, a baby Austin knew nothing about. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Austin and Quinn, and the potential fall-out as motherhood was never in the cards for our story line heroine. Quinnlyn Stone never wanted children but ‘working’ alongside Austin as he struggles to raise the daughter he never knew finds Quinn reconsidering her options but in the end, our heroine refuses to give in to her heart and her soul. Austin had no idea that he had fathered a child. Knowing nothing about raising a baby, Austin begs Quinn Stone to move in and help, placing temptation within reach for our story line hero. The relationship between Quinn and Austin is one of the forbidden. Austin Prescott is Quinnlynn’s boss, and our heroine refuses to jeopardize her position for an affair with our hero but the attraction is palpable; and everyone including family knows that in the end, our couple will end up together. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Ian and Riley Dare (Dare to Love #1), Alex and Madison Dare (Dare to Desire #2) : Austin’s siblings-baseball player Jaxon, doctor Braden, sister Bri, and football star Damon, their mother Christine, and their biological father Paul Dare: as well as Quinn’s best friend and PI Evie Wolfe. Evie and Damon’s story line is next in DARE TO TEMPT. DARE TO RESIST is a multi-troped story of family, friendships, revelations and love. The premise is emotional and inspiring; the romance is seductive and spicy; the characters are energetic, lively and sassy. DARE TO RESIST is an encouraging and animated look at family, blood or otherwise.

Dare to Resist. Dare to Resist is a surprise baby, workplace romance that is the beginning of the new Dare Nation series from Carly Phillips and can be read as a standalone or as the first book in the series. Austin is a retired football player turned sports agent who is enjoying his life all while attempting to fight his attraction to his executive assistant. Quinn is determined to prove that she is more than her family thinks she should be all while fighting her attraction to her overly sexy boss. When Austin returns home after a night at the bar he finds a baby on his doorstep and in a moment of panic he calls Quinn to help him and begs her to move in. Austin and Quinn had amazing chemistry and worked well together but I found Quinn to be a little too much with her constant reminder of not wanting children. This was my first experience with Carly Phillips and I am looking forward to more books by her and the next story in the Dare Nation series. *ARC was generously provided in exchange for my honest review*
