Just One Tease by Carly Phillips Release Blitz

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.

Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Second-Chance Romance

Hadley finds herself in need of something, but when you're told to take your sister and get away and stay away, your mind might not be thinking super clear. When Hadley sees her old boyfriend – the one she had to leave behind all of those years ago – she takes it as a sign. He will know how to protect her sister. That's all that matters to Hadley.

Zach never forgot Hadley. He looked for her and found nothing for years. And while it was his ability to search that landed him some lucrative jobs, he always wondered.

When Hadley and Zach find each other again, it's not under the best of circumstances. However, Zach isn't able to turn his back on Hadley and Hadley isn't willing to just let things be. She needs him.

With forces trying to separate Zach and Hadley again, it will take everyone in the family to help these two figure out how to trust, love, and be safe again.

You won't be disappointed in this story. It's a little predictable, but it's a fun read.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the ninth book in the series, and I definitely would recommend that you read them all, as they are really good reads. Zach really was last man standing – mainly because after his first love disappeared on the day of their high school prom, he has never really got past the betrayal. Then she turns back up in his life and needs his help.

The start of this story is pretty tense, and I was delighted that Hadley made it safely out of Illinois with her sister, Dani. She has no choice but to ask for help, and a chance sighting of an article about Zach sends her towards New York City.

As the two of them try and reconcile their ten years apart, realise how much they still care, but also that Hadley and Dani have a life elsewhere, possibly, we are invested in them resolving the complexities left them by Hadley's dad, and how to forgive and move forward.

I really enjoyed the tension – both sexual and due to the situation – which keep these two people on edge and trying to do the right thing. It was also fun that Zach's family are happy to pitch in and give their advice.

Excellent news hinted at the end that Remy might finally find a way to find his happily ever after with Raven!
