ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 24, 2024

He’s the one she’s never forgotten.
She’s the one he regrets letting go.
Now they have a second chance to get it right.

When Skye Tremont runs into her sexy former flame, Tripp Daniels, she’s reminded of the baby pact they’d made years ago… If she was single and childless by the age of thirty, he’d step in and be her baby daddy and fulfill her dream of having a child.

Now, after a bitter divorce that has left her guarding her heart, and wanting only one thing, Skye is ready to take Tripp up on his promise. When he’s one of the bachelors up for bid at a charity auction, it’s the perfect opportunity to have him all to herself for a weekend of baby making fun, as long as he agrees to her terms.

Tripp is on board to fulfill the promise he made to Skye. If he’s going to have a baby with anyone, it’s going to be the one woman he’d foolishly let slip through his fingers. But not this time because he’s all in. Skye is even more beautiful than he remembers, and the chemistry between them is hotter than ever, but while she gives him free rein with her body, she’s made it clear her heart is off limits.

Now, with a second chance within his grasp, Tripp is prepared to do whatever it takes to win the woman he loves and give them both the family they’ve always craved.

REVIEW:JUST A LITTLE PROMISE is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult DARE CROSSOVER erotic, romance series co-authored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is Dr. Tripp Daniels, and thirty year old, assistant event coordinator Skye Abbot-Tremont’s story line. JUST A LITTLE PROMISE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines or series is revealed where necessary. The DARE cross over series is interconnected with the authors’ KINGSTON Family, DARE and DIRTY DARE series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from omniscient third person perspectives (Tripp and Skye) JUST A LITTLE PROMISE follows the second chance relationship between our leading couple. Skye Abbott is rebounding from a bitter divorce, and she is hoping one-day to become a mother but Skye never expected to run into Dr. Tripp Daniels, the one man she has never forgotten. Five years earlier, Tripp and Skye were a couple but Tripp had plans for the future, and there was no time for a relationship while in medical school. Fast forward to present day, Skye’s arrival in New York and ultimately Brooklyn finds Skye face to face with her past in the guise of our story line hero, the man who continues to stir something deep inside. Skye’s plans for a child are about to take on a new direction when when Tripp offers up himself as the potential father. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between our story line couple as Skye’s past refuses to let go.

The world building follows Skye and Tripp as they navigate the process of getting pregnant but someone may be stalking our story line heroine, and Tripp suspects it is someone from her past.

The relationship between Skye and Tripp is one of second chances: a rebuilding romance in which Skye struggles to trust in the face of her failed marriage, and Tripp is hoping for something more. The $ex scenes are erotic and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Skye’s brother Spencer, her friend and co-worker Lauren, as well as several member of Tripp’s extended Dare/Kingston family.

JUST A LITTLE PROMISE is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is captivating and exciting; the rekindling romance is seductive ; The characters are determined and real.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 14, 2023

He’s the last single Dare sibling standing.
She’s his lost love who disappeared.
Now she’s back, bringing secrets and danger.

Hadley Stevens is on the run with her younger sister—again—but this time, she’s in control. Zach Dare might hate her, but she knows he’d never turn away someone in need. He’s the only man she trusts. The man she’s never gotten over. Even if she left him without a word.

Zach never expected the girl he once loved to walk into his bar. The last time he saw her, he’d dropped her off after school and promised to pick her up for prom. Except she disappeared.

Now, she’s back with a new name, but the same doe eyes and pouty lips, and she’s asking for the help he would have gladly given her all those years ago.

Zach agrees to protect them, but he refuses to fall for Hadley again. But late nights working side by side give them a tempting glimpse at the life they could have had…and all the reasons he loved her come flooding back.

He’ll have to keep her safe.

Before he can convince her to stay.

One night.
No strings.
Things just got complicated.

And when a dance leads to some hot, stress-relieving sex, she’s all in with Luke Thompson. He’s just the no-risk diversion she desperately needs.

When Luke proposes they spend some time together, Alexa can’t say no. Not when he’s so determined to show her how to have fun. Alexa figures it can’t hurt to have a few days with the irresistible Luke. After all, he’ll be gone soon, and her life will return to the daily grind.

Except this perfect stranger is more than she anticipated and when it’s time to say goodbye, he’ll be taking a big piece of her heart with him.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 29, 2023

Tired of being the easygoing daughter, always ignored in favor of her high-maintenance sister, and no longer interested in being her fiance’s trophy wife, Nicole Farnsworth calls off her wedding. All she wants is to be herself. And where better to find her destiny than Serendipity? The place where she met the one man who made her heart beat faster, and gave her the courage to reinvent her life–even if he doesn’t know it.

Officer Sam Marsden calls Serendipity home and he loves it there–even though his childhood sweetheart was stolen by his best friend. After such heartbreak, Sam fears he can’t trust his instincts when it comes to love. Yet he’s so tempted by Nicole, a woman he met only briefly but who has starred in his dreams ever since. For Nicole and Sam, opening their hearts one more time could change their lives forever. But who’ll be the first to take that chance?

Drew Daniels. A hot, gorgeous lawyer who makes her want to shed her good-girl image and learn all sorts of new and risqué things.

Attorney Drew Daniels is more than willing to introduce the beautiful Georgia to her naughtier side. Their weekend together is steamy and romantic . . . and it doesn’t hurt that a rival of Drew’s has his eye on Georgia, too. Stirring the other man’s jealousy is a fun side benefit.

Their tryst should have been just about pleasure, but Drew finds he’s attracted to more than Georgia’s outer beauty and he wants to keep her as his own. When Drew suggests they continue their secret affair, Georgia is too smitten to say no. Even if her parents expect her to marry her lawyer father’s right-hand man.

Drew tries to keep his distance but upon their return, Drew only thinks about Georgia, and is hoping for something more. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Georgia’s parents Nina and Roland Brooks; her larger than life sister Courtney, and their mother’s choice for Georgia’s husband Elliott Eastman, as well as Drew’s brothers Beck and Tripp.

JUST A LITTLE SECRET is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love, acceptance and forgiveness. The fast paced, character driven premise is edgy and impassioned; the romance is spicy and flirty; the characters are impulsive, sassy and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 18, 2023

It was just supposed to be a fling.
Now she’s having his baby.

Winter Capwell knows all about billionaire Harrison Dare’s bad-boy reputation.

His all-pleasure, no-commitment rule worked well for her, too. Until fate changed everything.

Harrison never wanted a wife or kids. His incredibly large family provides all the siblings and children he needs. Besides, no woman has ever tempted him to give up his bachelor lifestyle.

Until the mysterious and sexy Winter entered his life.

But when someone comes after the woman he loves, he will stop at nothing to protect her and make her his. For good.

•••••••

REVIEW: JUST ONE FLING is the ninth instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series- a series interconnected with the author’s Dirty Dare /Dare Nation series. This is actor Harrison Dare, and twenty-four year old journalist Winter Capwell’s story line. JUST ONE FLING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Harrison and Winter) JUST ONE FLING follows in the aftermath of a summer fling between Harrison and Winter, and the revelation that Winter is the half-sister to Nicolette Bettencourt (Asher Dare’s wife). Winter Capwell grew up never knowing who her father was, and the discovery that her father is a US State Senator meant Winter had a number of half-siblings that she knew nothing about. Befriending Nikki Bettencourt came with secrets and lies, lies that are about to reveal the truth about Winter’s independent past but a summer ‘fling’ with Nikki’s brother in law Harrison ended, and several weeks later, Winter would discover she is pregnant with Harrison’s baby. Struggling to understand what happened and why, Harrison leaves a heart broken Winter to question where everything went wrong but once the announcement hit the papers, Winter would find herself a target of an unknown stalker. What ensues is the second chance romance and relationship between Harrison and Winter, and the potential fall-out as the threats against Winter become personal and deadly, revealing a connection to everyone she knows.

The relationship between Harrison and Winter began as a summer fling following an interview with our leading hero. As a journalist Winter wanted to report about the success of Harrison Dare but Harrison held back many secrets just as Winter held back many more. Together, Harrison and Winter would raise their child together but someone else is hoping to destroying our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is are large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples. We are reintroduced to Asher and Nikki; Asher and Harrison’s parents Serenity and Michael Dare, and their brother Zach, and Zach’s friend Raven, as well as Nikki’s brother Derek, and their parents Senator Corbin and Collette Bettencourt. Zach’s story line is next.

JUST ONE FLING is a story of secrets and lies, family and relationship, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is heart warming and engaging; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are charismatic and charming.
