From the Author
The DARE TO LOVE books consist of Miami siblings/halfsiblings and NY cousins (hotter books) and the books ran in consecutiveorder. It makes more sense for the books to be divided by family and so I have split up the series as follows - The Dare to Love Series (Miamisiblings) and the NY Dares (NY cousins). Please note ALL BOOKS CAN BE READ ALONE but if you enjoy your stories in order, below is the newseries order. I hope you enjoy!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016I love the Dare series and this book does not disappoint. Avery Dare and Grey Kingston were together in high school and he decided to leave and pursue a career in music. He has made it big in a band called Tangled Royal. Avery was heart broken and just felt that another man let her down. When she was nine years old her family found out that their dear father had another women with four children. His time away on "business" was more than they thought. His daughter Sienna needed an transplant and so he asked his wife and children to see if they were a match. Avery was a match to she went through the operation to save her sister. Her father has always favored his other family. Avery and her siblings have not hard feelings towards their half siblings as they could not help what their father did.
Grey is tired of the traveling with the music and all the groupies. He has always loved Avery and is not moving back to Miami to try and get her back. Lola, is lead singer and best friend, is moving back to Miami too as her boyfriend who is a football player for Avery's family team. Avery agrees to start seeing Grey, but there are all kinds of obstacles in the way. Grey has a lot to overcome to show Avery that he wants her and is here to stay. It is a good story and Ms. Phillips does a great job of throwing in some mystery, jealousy, friendship, and love along the way. You really need to read the book to see what happens.
Ella is Avery's best friend and is always there for Avery. There is something going on with Ella and Avery's brother Tyler. Ella will not say what is going on, but I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens. I love the book and encourage you to get it!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2015Every Dare book I have read, I have enjoyed. Dare to Rock definitely rocked as a read. Basically, this is a reunited lovers story. We have Avery and Grey who use be a couple in high school, but Grey wanted to make it big in the music world. So, he left everything behind without looking back. Which was pretty crappy on how he handle Avery. He realizes that he was wrong and now he needs to go back and fix things with Avery. The question can he do it?
Yes, this is one hot read, but the story is pretty awesome. We have Grey trying hard to win Avery back, but his super-stardom is kind of getting in the way. His manage isn't too happy with his decision on leaving, so he's being a bit of a challenge. Seriously, Simon is a sleazy guy, and would do anything to keep Grey inline. Not only do you have the hot and heavy parts, but you have Grey trying to combat Simon's actions. Definitely a challenge within itself. We also have Avery, who isn't quite sure if she could trust Grey. After all Grey did abandon her right after high school without looking back or try to make contact.
I also liked the secondary characters, because they bring to life what is going on in the story. You have Ella who basically stands by Avery when she needs her best friend for that sounding board. We also have Lola who is like a sister to Grey and is willing to have his back. However, my favorite part is when daddy dearest comes in making Avery and Grey's issue about him. On some level you have to admire Robert Dare for his ego, on the same hand you just wish someone would knock his lights out. Just wishful thinking there.
Dare to Rock is a pretty good read. If you love a rockstar that wants to come home and try to win the woman he left behind. I was a little disappointed on the outcome of Simon, but I still enjoyed the ending. A nice touch for a happy ever after.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2015*I was provided an ARC for a fair and honest review*
I have been waiting for this book! I had a feeling that Grey and Avery were going to be one of my favorite couples in this series and I was right. Dare to Rock was a fantastic story about lost loves reuniting.
Grey Kingston left Miami years ago to chase his dream of making something of himself after a rough childhood made him feel less than. While he became a member of one of the world’s biggest bands when he moved to LA, he left behind the one thing that he realized might have been more important than his need to succeed…his first love, Avery Dare.
Avery was more than hurt when Grey took off to become a star. She had already been through the ringer with the family drama surrounding her and when she went to one of Grey’s concerts in hopes of reconnecting, she was thrown when she witnessed how his life really worked and she wasn’t about to put herself in a situation that was going to bring up all of the anxieties she has worked hard to get under control.
Grey has made the decision to move back to Miami to settle down. Will he be able to convince Avery that he’s in this for the long haul or will his past and her insecurities derail them before they can reconnect?
I loved the way Carly Phillips wrote Avery. While she has always been portrayed as a bit fragile by her family, this book proved that incorrect. She was feisty and faced things head on and dealt with the things she needed to to be able to move on with her life. Kudos to Carly for writing such a strong female character.
This was definitely my favorite of the series so far and I’m looking forward to what Carly brings us next!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024Avery and Grey have had a past relationship, then he left after graduation to become a famous musician. Avery has a history of panic attacks from her childhood trauma. Can they both work though their past lives and make their future together? Loved this book and series. Each INE helps you understand why this family is the way they are and how they support each other and find love in the end!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
it is about Avery and Grey and there extreme attraction to each other and their chemistry with each other. Trying to get over her past relationship with her father and it's problematic effect on her health. Avery and the emotional effect of Grey leaving her to make a career for himself for him to come back for her because he never stopped loving her. The communication between the two characters was steamy and supportive, romantic really love reading about these two characters and i was rooting for them whole heartedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein weiteres sehr gutes, heißes, spannendes Buch in der Reihe! Avery Dare und ihre große Liebe der Rockstar!
Dieses Mal geht es um die jüngste Schwester der Dare Geschwister der 1. Familie Avery Dare (25).
Sie ist eine tolle Selbstbewusste Frau, die leider genau wie die anderen sehr unter ihrer Vergangenheit durch ihren Vater leidet.
Sie hat ihrer Halbschwester Sienna das Leben gerettet, da sie ihr mit 9 Knochenmark gespendet hat. Sie und der Musiker Grey Kingston (25) von der Band Tangled Royal waren in der Highschool mit 18 zusammen. Aber dann hat Grey sie verlassen um Kariere zu machen und sich 7 Jahre nicht gemeldet. Bis er sie zu seinem Konzert eingeladen hat, wo Avery ihn zusammen mit einem Fan gesehen hat.
Dann dauert es wieder 5 Monate bis sich die beiden wieder sehen. Eine heiße Geschichte beginnt!
