Turned the Last Page as a Happy Reader. Oh geez. Finally, we get Braden’s book. Dare to Stay is the fourth book in the Dare Nation series. You can enjoy it as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the other books. It’s filled with such great characters and unique storylines; you won’t be sorry. Okay. Braden. Braden is the Prescott sibling that left two years ago to work with Doctors Without Borders. While his family was off being successful sports professionals and building a business to help those sports professionals, Dare Nation, he was out in another country providing medical care to the less fortunate. When his cousin Ian, the owner of the Miami Thunder NFL team, needs a head physician, he decides to come back home to fill the position. Coming back to family was the easy part. Coming back to see the woman he loved and left behind is the more challenging part. Willow is a Sports Therapist for the Miami Thunder and is taken off guard when she finds out her new colleague is her ex, who left her without an explanation. A man she loved and trusted but, like everyone else in her life, left in the end. After seeing Willow, Braden wants her back, but can he get beyond her walls to get him to trust him again? This book had me doing a happy sigh at the end. Braden and Willow had a lot to work through. Braden had to be honest with Willow about why he left, and Willow had to decide if he was worth taking a second chance on. They both became each other’s strengths and truths. While Braden’s slow and steady persistence won out, Willow didn’t make it easy for him. This story was set at a nice pace and had so many heartfelt moments. I turned the last page as a happy reader.

Second Chances!. Braden knew leaving Willow back then was a huge mistake. Now he is back to prove to her once and for all he is sticking and will do whatever necessary to prove his love for her. Willow after having a horrible youth will never place her trust in anyone but can she keep ignoring Braden?? I love how these two found each other again and worked to make them even stronger. I so am loving this series!!

Great addition to another darenation. Braden and Willows story is a great 2nd chance romance that I loved. Seeing Braden showing Willow that he was staying and wanted to be with her was great. Seeing willow grow and learn to trust others was nice. Seeing them work together to help Aurora and then learn of her family. Is great to see what is coming for Carly Phillips in the future. Plus seeing the other Prescott’s and their spouses and catching up with Hudson. I loved this story and as always Carly Phillips did not disappoint and can’t wait for her next addiction.

Fun, easy read!. Another easy, fun read by Ms Phillips. Braden made a major mistake when trying to prove himself and his worth when leaving Willow to join Doctors Without Borders. He didn’t realize the impact that would have on his relationship with her. She has always felt that everyone leaves her so it’s hard to trust. Now, that Braden has returned to the States, he will have to work very hard to regain Willow’s trust. Will Willow believe in Braden and his feelings for her or continue mistrusting him?

***3.5 Stars ***. I had a hard time with this book. I felt like Willow was insecure and needed to work on her self esteem before she should have gotten involved with anyone. If she was as secure in her personal life as she was in her professional life I would have liked her a whole lot more. I just could not understand how she could be so sure of herself as a trainer but so wishy washy as a woman. Now maybe that was the point of this story, but it bugged me. As for Braden, the man is a star. How is it he could love someone that is insecure? I feel like he has hero complex. He needs to save the day. For Aurora. For Willow. For Damon. For Hudson. Considering he just returned from Doctors Without Borders after being gone for two years, I would have liked to see more interaction with his family. The one thing I really liked was meeting Aurora and the potential for getting to know the Kingstons. I'm really hoping they will be a spinoff series.

Love those sexy alpha Dare men!. This is book 4 in the Dare Nation series and it features Braden Prescott and Willow James. Because of the way they each grew up, trust and communication were not their top qualities. It is for this very reason that their first try at a relationship didn’t work. Now, Willow‘s trust issues are even greater. She’s such a gentle yet feisty soul. If she can only trust the sexy, determined doctor, life would be perfect.  Great story line!  I love the characters that come out of this author’s  imagination. It’s nice to know that not all of them are wealthy.  As always, I look forward to these stories with the sexy, alpha men and the sweet, strong women that complete them.

Loved it. Amazing characters and a great second romance that I couldn’t put down. Carly Phillips never disappoints!

Dare to Stay. ARC for honest review with no compensation Received from BookSprout Dare to Stay is book 4 in the Dare Nation series by Carly Phillips and another steamy read! Up Next is Dr. Braden Prescott and Willow James, athletic trainer for the Miami Thunder football organization. These two have a history that ended on a sour note. Now two years later Braden comes back home after his stent with Doctors without Borders to be the head physician for the Miami Thunder football team and comes face-to-face with the woman he left behind…Willow James. Willow was devastated when Braden left her and now seeing him again she is determined not to give him her heart…but the chemistry still sizzles between them. Can Braden show Willow he has changed, can he gain her trust again and that he won’t up and leave like before? Can win her heart forever or will Willow’s past keep her from opening her heart? Only time will tell...

Second Chance at its best!. I completely fell for Braden and Willow and they became a fast a favorite! I have been following the Dare Nation series and Carly ends it right. The were a lot of obstacles these two had to go through. A lot of regrets, anger, denial, and underlying love. You knew these two were a match made. Dare to Stay will be shelved as a favorite and is a must read. I connected to these characters and hold them near and dear. #MustRead2021

Stay…Forever... Holy Hotness Batman! You have GOT to love a man on a mission and Braden Prescott is that man! He is home to claim the woman he loved and left, the family he didn’t know he missed and even a Super Bowl team won’t stop him. If you have read the earlier books about the Dare family, you know what kind of hero we are talking about. The Dare/Prescott men never leave any kind of question about their masculinity and their devotion to family and love. This is Braden and Willow’s story and reminds me why I always turn to Carly Phillips for a hot, happily ever after.

Fight for who you want. The Dare Nation family continues to grow in love and members. I loved the strength and intelligence of both main characters, Willow and Braden, in this story. Electric chemistry and maturity provide the foundation for a trusting relationship between Willow and Braden. Thank you Carly Phillips, for your gift of storytelling that you share with your readers.

Loved it. Having read a number of books by Carly Phillips I really enjoy her style of writing. Dare to Stay ticked all the boxes for me, from Alpha males, to feisty heroines, to family love and support and I was fully invested from the first to the last page. This is Braden Prescott and Willow James’s second chance at love story and it was an entertaining and at times emotional read. Having been hurt and feeling betrayed when Braden left her to work with Doctors Without Borders she is shocked when he returns home. Braden has realized that he still loves Willow and knows that it will take time to earn her trust and love back, if it is even possible. The chemistry between Braden and Willow still sizzles and I loved the build up as they re built their relationship, it was humorous, sweet, romantic and steamy. Dare To Stay is a fast paced story that had me smiling, sighing and crying and got to me.

Boriny. Takes too long to get into it

Loved it!!!. Absolute must read!! Loved it!! Carly Phillips weaves wonderfully perfect stories! This “second chance” romance tells the story of a deliciously low “re-seduction” with more intimacy than the first time around. Your toes curl, your breath hitches and… wow!!! Loved it!!

compelling and engaging. DARE TO STAY is the fourth instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult DARE NATION erotic, romance series focusing on the Dare/Prescott family- a spin off from the author’s DARE TO LOVE series. This is physician Dr. Braden Prescott, and thirty-one year old, athletic trainer Willow James’ story line. DARE TO STAY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. 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 as well. Told from dual third person perspectives (Willow and Braden) DARE TO STAY follows the rekindling romance and relationship between physician Dr. Braden Prescott, and thirty-one year old, athletic trainer Willow James. Two years earlier, Dr. Braden Prescott, in a effort to distance himself from his father’s wrath, signed up for Doctors without Borders, and in doing so left behind a heart broken Willow James in the process. Fast forward to present day wherein Braden has returned home, and is currently the head doctor for the family owned Miami Thunder football team, the team for which Willow James is the athletic trainer. Desperate to prove he is still worthy of Willow’s love, Braden begins a quick seduction of our story line heroine, a woman who was already predisposed to issues of abandonment and loss. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Willow and Braden, and the potential fall-out as Willow continues to struggle with past betrayal and rejection. Willow James grew up in the foster care system after her mother disappeared without a trace or explanation. Having moved from family to family, Willow never had the support or vindication of being wanted until the Jonas family, who in the end, betrayed her again. Fearful that Braden will leave, like in the past, Willow battles between head and heart, as her love for our story line hero is fragile, at best. Braden Prescott always wanted to be a doctor but with three brothers all successful sports stars, Braden became the black sheep of the family, in his father’s eye but betrayal came at a cost, and Braden struggled when the truth about his family, revealing a much darker secret. Working with Doctors without Borders gave Braden the time to reflect on his life, his family and the woman he left behind, a woman who continues to struggles with Braden’s potential need to run. The relationship between Braden and Willow is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people torn apart by the sins of the father, secrets and lies. With someone else vying for Willow’s attention, Braden jumps at the chance to prove he is the man for our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are reintroduced to Braden’s siblings: sister Brianne , Austin and Quinn (Dare to Desire), Damon and Evie (Dare to Tempt #2) , Jaxon and Macy (Dare to Play 3), their mother Christine; as well as Dr. Cole Walsh; trainer Steffy Hughes; Dr. Hudson Northfield; and foster mother Bella Jonas. Brianne Prescott’s story is next in Dare to Tease. DARE TO STAY is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; a story of secrets, heart break, second chances and hope. The premise is compelling and engaging; the characters are spirited, wounded and energetic; the romance is sensual, tender and intense.
