Dare to Take (Dare to Love Book 6) Kindle Edition
A secret.
A mistake they tried to forget.
On leave from the army, Tyler Dare was just looking for a little fun, but his sister’s best friend is off limits. But unable to deny how sexy and alluring she is, he finds it all too easy to succumb to a night of passion and heat that ends the next morning in the worst way possible.
There are just some guys you don’t touch—even someone as innocent and inexperienced as Ella Shaw knows that. But when her best friend’s brother is up for grabs and willing, she can’t resist. After all, she’s wanted him for years…
Now, Ella is stranded on a tropical island with a hurricane bearing down, and only Tyler can save her. It’s his chance to make amends for the past and show the woman he’s never forgotten that he’s coming after her…in more ways than one.

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!
Dare to Love Series1. Dare to Love2. Dare to Desire3. Dare to Touch4. Dare to Hold5. Dare to Rock6. Dare to Take
NY Dares1. Dare to Surrender2. Dare to Submit3. Dare to Seduce
All the best,Carly

- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016Carly Phillips was one of the very first romance authors I had the pleasure of reading. It’s been a long time now and still, every single book makes me want to go back and read them all again. I was so in love with her Hot Zone series, but I’m having a hard time deciding if I love The Dares even more! She knows how to write characters that inspire emotion and whether good or bad, the reader needs to connect to the characters.
This book is a standalone in an interconnected series. I do recommend you read them all though, simply because they are so good!
The backstory for both of the main characters was a little heartbreaking. Ella and Tyler have suffered quite a bit at the hands of their parents, and their history together is rocky, at best. But, the chemistry is undeniable and whereas before, they were young and vulnerable, now they are mature adults, who know how to hide that vulnerability behind solid walls.
It seems almost like a tradition for the Dare men to chase their women and I have to say, I much prefer it to the other way around. I love seeing their soft sides mixed with the delicious alpha. Tyler has a skewed version of his own actions growing up, some of it brought on by heavy guilt, and yet, he explores the idea of being with Ella much quicker than she does. In fact, she only sees that as an unattainable dream, no matter how much Tyler tries to prove otherwise.
Ella’s need to “fix” herself before she can truly commit to Tyler is admirable, but I have to say, I’ve always felt that one can find themselves even easier when they have someone to lean on and support them through the process. Never the less, the fact that she makes the attempt to conquer her issues is a big step.
I fell hard for these two, individually, and as a couple. They burn hot and I had to stop and find a fan from time to time! Ok, not really, but I seriously thought about it. ;)
This book definitely makes my multiple re-read shelf. Another 5 star addition to Carly’s amazing line of books!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016What a lovely, beautiful story that takes you on an emotional journey into Tyler and Ella love story. They have known each other for years- Tyler is the best friend to Ella’s brother while she is the baby sister to Tyler’s best friend. She has always had a crush on her brother’s best friend. She thought Tyler would see her, would one day fall in love and they would have their HEA but that didn’t happen. One night, while she was drunk and staying at Tyler’s parents’ house, she thinks if she just “proved” to him how she loved him he would fall in love with her , things would fall in place. Well, that doesn’t work-the night ended horribly. Then the next morning Tyler cut and ran but not before things were said. From that point on, Ella realized her dream of being with the man she loved was never going to happen . She gave up and moved on and they both made sure they never crossed each others’ paths again for several years until…
Ella ends up hospitalized on a tropical island after someone attempts to rob her and there is a hurricane coming her way. Avery Dare is scared for her friend so she begs her brother, Tyler to please go rescue Ella. Only Avery doesn’t know the secrets both have been holding back from her . But Tyler realizes its time to fix the mess between them and heads to rescue Ella. Only when he gets there, there is more to the attempted robbery and Ella being hurt—she is being stalked and why? So there is a hurricane coming, Ella is being stalked and on top of that, the unresolved past between them is rising up like the dead –What are they to do? The passion, the angst, the fear and oh so much more had me captivated. I loved working out who the bad guys were and there were several parties involved. Then the emotional journey the MC took really took a lot of twists and turns. I loved the ending and am saddened that this appears to be the end of the Dare series but can’t wait to see what next up by this author.
My rating: 4.5 stars****
**I was given an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review***
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2016I recently discovered Carly Phillips late last year and ever since then I knew this author would make her way into my auto one-click list. And in her newest release, Dare To Take, Ms. Phillips has once again taken the hearts of her readers.
Sexy, heartfelt, and swoonworthy are the words that comes to mind when reading a Carly Phillip’s book. And Dare To Take was no exception. This book was S-E-X-Y and had one of my favorite tropes. That’s right...best friend little sister romance!!!
Since I don’t want to spoil the book for the readers since this book was a quick read, I will just say that Ms. Phillips incorporates a wide array of elements into this storyline from family, second chances, passion and of course a sprinkle of suspense thrown into the mix. If you love a story that has the power to pull those heartstrings and have you swooning, then this book is for you. Ms. Phillips has truly delivered a story that will have you devouring this book in one sitting and wanting to go read the beginning of this series. The writing is clean, the story line is sexy and so why not go read this book and dare to love this series and book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tyler der letzte Dare Bruder findet seine wahre Liebe!
Tyler Dare (32) ist der letzte der Geschwister der noch nicht mit seiner großen Liebe zusammen ist.
Das Problem ist das Tyler seine große Liebe Ella Shaw (27) schon seit vielen Jahren kennt.
Denn Ella ist die beste Freundin seiner Schwester Avery und somit für Tyler tabu.
Wäre da nicht die eine Nacht vor 9 Jahren in der Ella Tyler ihre Unschuld geschenkt hat.
Leider hat Tyler nicht so reagiert wie gehofft und Ella vorwürfe gemacht bis sie weinend aus dem Zimmer ging.
Dannach gingen sich die beiden aus dem Weg, bis jetzt wo Ella Tylers Hilfe braucht und die beiden eine Zweite Chance bekommen.
Wieder ein Spitzen Buch!!! Jetzt geht es mit den NY Dares weiter den Cousins der Geschwister!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect end!!
What an AMAZING, goosebumps inducing FINALE to the Dare family!! I feel like I have just said goodbye to my dearest friends, having journeyed with them through their highs and lows of love, betrayal, loss, happiness, and accomplishments. Never have I felt so embedded in the lives of these characters brought to life by the brilliant Carly Phillips.
I always think that I have decided on my favourite Dare hero with each book, BUT Tyler Dare is hands down my number one favourite and Ms. Phillips certainly left the best Dare hero for last. Tyler was UBER alpha with his dirty talking, broody, and protective personality. I loved it when he called Ella "sweet girl" and my ovaries ignited with the tenderness he emitted whilst holding his newborn nephew for the very first time. Swoooooonnn!!
I revelled in this best friend's brother storyline, being one of my all time favourites set ups, and Ms. Phillips certainly delivered with her addictive narrative, deep characters with heart breaking back stories and of course, HOT and steamy scenes!! This story was the perfect blend of an unpredictable storyline and had all the FEELS! I had goosebumps and was choking back tears as the Dare family came full circle in the INCREDIBLE epilogue. Just PERFECT!!!! 5++ unforgettable stars!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love strong characters
This one did it for me. I absolutely love this author and have been reading some of her older work, now that I know she writes so well. She has a wonderful ability to get readers into the world of her characters. Great read.
