Dare To Stay by Carly Phillips

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Willow and Braden are one heartache short of a second chance. Phillips gives the heart a reason to sing with a beautifully broken love story in need of a happy ending. Dare to Stay is a haunting tale of false starts, broken hearts and second chances. Love isn't always pretty, but it's the unpredictable journey that makes the end result worthwhile.

This is book #4, in the Dare Nation series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.

Braden knew coming home would have its challenges.  Having been abroad for two years working with Doctors Without Borders, moving home was going to be difficult.  Little did he know it feel the same as soon as his arms were around a certain someone.......

Willow has trust issues that stem from a childhood inside the foster system.  She said goodbye to Braden when he left and never looked back.  To trust him again would not only be foolish, but could rally lay her out flat.  Does she dare to confront the feelings that are still there between them?

This book started off the ground running.  I loved each page, and eagerly turned to read on.  These characters were so easy to root for.  They genuinely seem to really care for one another and their story feels very solid and pace was just right on. I feel like this is the authors best work so far.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Well, “disappointing" is what I say. This book started with potential, then fell into the “same ol”. I gave it three stars because it was a freebie.  I couldn’t wait to be done, the eye rolling hurt my head. 

Another edge of the seat experience.
Rebekka Frank is someone that never gives up. I think that's why I love her so much. Her strength and inner power is admirable.
This story, the plot is super exciting. Royalty is involved, which adds a nice twist to the already gripping story.
I have the next book in the series and can't wait to read it.
Thriller/Mystery/Horror fans, you really need this series in your life... You just might not know it until now.
