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.

Just One Dare (Kingston Family 5/ Dirty Dares) by Carly Phillips-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play /Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2022.

Billionaire Nick Dare is a man who takes charge. He runs the hotel arm of the family empire and his life revolves around business and travel. A quick stop at his brother’s movie premier has him doing a double take.

The woman who haunts his dreams is there. He’s been given a second chance and is determined to make the most of it.

When he learns about their daughter, Nick becomes a man on a mission. Aurora and their child are his. Even if he has to knock down Aurora’s emotional walls to prove it.

••••••

REVIEW:JUST ONE DARE is the first instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult THE KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series, a series interconnected with the author’s Dirty Dare /Dare Nation series. This is twenty-four year old, single mother Aurora Michaels, and billionaire Nick Dare’s story line. JUST ONE DARE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading book one JUST ONE NIGHT.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Aurora and Nick) JUST ONE DARE follows the second chance romance and relationship between twenty-four year old, single mother Aurora Michaels, and billionaire Nick Dare. Approximately six years previous, Aurora Michaels had a one-night stand with a man named Nick, and several weeks later discovered she was homeless and pregnant with Nick’s child. A few months would pass before Aurora was discovered by the family she never knew, a family of billionaires and businessman into which our heroine was immediately accepted. Fast forward to present day wherein Aurora, now a part of the Dare family, comes face to face with her past, a past that never knew what happened to the one that got away. Enter hotel magnate Nick Dare, and the man with whom Aurora will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Aurora and Nick, and the potential fall-out as Aurora struggles with issues of trust having watched everyone she knows walk out of her life.

Nick Dare never knew the last name of the woman that had stolen his heart but a movie premiere would bring Nick face to face with Aurora Michaels, the half-sister to the Kingston siblings, and the woman who had given birth to the daughter he never knew. Hoping to reconnect and become a part of his daughter’s life, Nick begins a slow seduction of our story line heroine, the woman with whom Nick will fall in love.

The relationship between Nick and Aurora began as a one night stand in which neither knew the last name of one another; a secret baby relationship such that Nick wanted to be more than a father but the man with whom Aurora would fall in love but as the man in charge of the chain of Dare hotels, Nick was constantly called away for emergencies and meeting, emergencies that threatened Aurora’s tenuous trust of our story line hero. The $ex scenes are passionate and erotic without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters from both the KINGSTON FAMILY, DARE TO LOVE, DARE NATION and the NY DARES series. The reconnection between Aurora and Nick looks back on the history of two families almost destroyed by betrayal, secrets and lies.

JUST ONE DARE is a story of family, friendships and relationships, love and acceptance, second chances and happily ever after. The fast paced, character driven premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are charismatic and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 18, 2022

Until a very real baby scare threatens to bring it all crashing down.

Dash Kingston has learned his lesson and knows his hard-partying lifestyle needs to change. To clean up his playboy image, he needs a fake girlfriend.

There’s just one problem: the perfect woman for the job is a gorgeous blonde who once aroused not just his body but his emotions, sending him running. And leaving her to wake up alone.

For the band’s sake, Cassidy Forrester agrees to play the girlfriend role, but she’s not going to fall for Dash’s charm or sex appeal ever again.

Except this Dash Kingston swears he’s a changed man, and he’s out to win Cassidy over – for good. But only a fool would make the same mistake twice, and Cassidy refuses to let their spark burn her a second time.

••••••

REVIEW:JUST ONE SPARK is the fourth instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series focusing on the Kingston siblings: Linc, Xander, Dash, Chloe and Aurora. This is the lead singer for the rock band Original Kings Dash Kingston, and PA Cassidy Forrester’s story line. JUST ONE SPARK 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 (Dash and Cassidy) JUST ONE SPARK follows the building romance and relationship between rock star Dash Kingston, and PA Cassidy Forrester. Several months earlier Dash had a one night stand with his brother’s fiancee’s best friend and PA Cassidy, and ghosted her the next morning. Fast forward to present day wherein Cassidy Forrester has been hired to be the personal assistant to the Original Kings but a scandal was about to rock Dash Kingston’s world, and our heroine would be caught in the middle of the fall-out. As Dash and Cassidy work together to clean up our hero’s personal image, a fake-fiancee relationship between our leading couple is what their publicist has in mind. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and romance between Dash and Cassidy, and the potential fall-out as Dash’s past reveals a secret the Kingston family has kept close to their heart.

Cassidy Forrester is both a personal assistant and a creative director, and as such is over qualified to babysit the members of the Original Kings but Cassidy continues to be pulled in to the aura that is Dash Kingston, an aura with a palpable sexual attraction between our leading couple. Having loved and lost, betrayal is front and foremost on Cassidy’s mind, especially when Dash’s reputation on tour precedes his introduction to our story line heroine. Dash Kingston knows he has to stop his womanizing ways, and a close call is the exact trigger to stop our hero in his track but Dash has never stopped thinking about Cassidy Forrester, the one woman from whom he should have never walked away. Cassidy and Dash’s rekindling relationship is fraught with issues of trust from our story line heroine but once Dash reveals the truth about his past, Cassidy is both guardian and protector of our hero’s heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including the members of the Original Kings: lead guitarist Jagger, Mac the bassist, and Cassidy’s brother and the band’s new drummer Axel Forrester : Xander and Sasha (Just One Chance), Linc and Jordan (Just One Night), Aurora Kingston, and their mother Melly; publicist Naomi, and band manager Dean. Aurora’s story line is next in JUST ONE DARE.

JUST ONE SPARK is a story of family and forgiveness, relationships and second chances, friends and love. The premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance is provocative and erotic; the characters are energetic and captivating.
