Great SERIES

I love the story of Willow and Brayden and all the siblings and new characters that came in
I hope in the future Miss Phillips would have a story book about Aurora who becomes a Kingston and with extra chapters.
I just wish Brayden and Willow had an extra chapter or 2 to extend they're planning of the wedding and more storyline but at this last chapter they did have a good happy ending.
Brianna and Hudson was also great too and some eyes I just wish the book with Brianna and Hudson was longer to.

Brother Braden has to rewin his ex girl

The last brother in the Prescott-Dare cousins is Dr. Braden Prescott. Of course his twin Brianna is still single for the next book and the introduced several new characters including Braden’s doctor friend and another family of friends wealthy men through their long lost half sister that Braden found and was treating so there will be at least one more book in this series. Braden is the brother who has been serving with Doctors Without Borders, a noble endeavor except that that he never discussed his decision to join with longtime girlfriend Willow until it was a done deal. Frankly I understand why she was angry and she apparently had abandonment issues but it was pretty thoughless on his part even if it was just for 2 years. He didn’t really make much of an effort to explain or keep in touch either but when he comes back he decides he wants to win her back. He has a sweet caring nature but is somewhat arrogant when it comes to Willow and presumptive in his possessiveness. She has had a rough childhood but apparently didn’t confide any of that the first time around even though they spent a year dating and sleeping together and she thought they “were headed to a future together”. She also takes forever to let Braden explain why he left. Both seemed a bit immature, non-communicative, and self centered in their earlier relationship so it was obvious they needed to both grow on their own before they became involved again. The second time romance had a few sexy scenes, some interesting new characters and of course a villain, plus some surprises from Braden’s siblings. The narration was solid and the story pretty good- especially if you like romances and are a fan of the Dare series.

Enjoyed it but getting Stale

Storyline is getting stale. Each book is almost identical in some areas. Still enjoyed it enough to keep reading them though! And, please, get some new voices for the audiobooks!! Listening to the same two people do the voice overs for all of the books is kinda creepy (shuddering)

Nice story

I like that this writer has chosen an easy flow way of writing. I love the break from the hustle and bustle, and when she writes of sex, well, she nails it !

so good

this is such a great story. alpha romance 😍 💛 💓 💕 💖 💗 😍 💛 💓

Great storyline

But the voices didn't match the characters. though I liked the narrators, Joe's voice, in particular, wasn't my favorite, not the best female impersonation. I was especially disappointed that it was in his voice that i heard erin recap the story of her childhood. Sorry, I can't remember the characters ' names.

I'm confused

I don't understand why the female just let's a man come back and steamroll her without any anger. She let's him cross a line almost immediately when he pins her in her chair. There's literally zero resistance, she goes out to dinner with him immediately. I wish she wrote more realistic stories and let the female flip her lid from time to time in these type but they're all basically the same thing with a new overlay for each.
