I truly enjoyed this series. Sarah struggles with much of her past and the present intertwined. Xavier wants to be a better man. I perceive both of them being Adrenalin junkies, they clash but thrive on the interactions.
I did not feel their trust issues were truly resolved by the end. Lots of fun sexy scenes made for an interesting read.

I received an ARC but the honest opinion is my own.

Right, so. I enjoy Charlie Lane books - I've read most if not all of them, and they are consistently entertaining.
This book - I got through it, and I liked the characters well enough - Lord Xavier Flint is Edith's brother (from the last book in this series), and Lady Sarah is fun - and we had seen them sniping at each other in the last book.

But, something was just a bit off on this one. It felt a bit uneven, or rushed. I wasn't convinced at the premise for all the dares, I wasn't convinced of much else, really. The whole thing felt off, which was disappointing as the central (and supporting, actually) characters should have been great. There's a bored Lord causing mischief - but he fell flat, then there's the two friends of Lady Sarah - they could have been great, then there's some of our past leads from the series... and YET... oof!

So, all in all - worth a read to round out the series but you may finish it thinking... "hmpf".

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

This is an action packed story that is hard to put down. She dared for a good cause and he dared to protect her. Together, they dared to love each other. But first, they had to take care of a pesky problem.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and leaving my review voluntarily.

I'm sorry, but this book just didn't work for me. It had too much angst and not enough of a story, so I really struggled with it. I just didn't care about, or understand, the characters motivation. I have enjoyed other books by Charlie Lane, but not this one.

Daring for the right reasons

Sarah is the "Queen of Dares" as a means of making herself useful - her winnings all go to a charity very close to her heart. Xavier, known as the "Dare King" since his school days, is coaxed out of his self-imposed retirement by the audacity of the new Queen and the lengths she'll go to in order to win. Once he realizes who she is, his sister's best friend, he's instantly compelled to curtail her risky behavior in order to protect her.

Thus begins a bit of an "enemies to lovers" relationship as these two clash and collaborate in their shared pursuits. There's a final showdown with one unscrupulous character, but I loved the way that honor won out in the end.

A delightful addition is the secondary romance for another of Edith's brothers, one who has the chance to somewhat redeem himself from his actions in the earlier book. Really, after what those brothers put Edith through, it was nice to see each of them grow up just a little in this book.

I was instantly captivated by this story, and I highly recommend it as well as the entire series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This was such a joyful read which had me smiling in several places and up well into the early hours. An amazing heroine who was brilliantly witty and a reformed brute of a duke- ahh perfection! A great enemies to lovers romance with one bed… totally here for it!

Historical romance, Regency-ish era England. Book 6 of the Debutante Dares series. The younger sister of the lady from Book 1 of the series has been risking her reputation for a series of bets and dares among the gentleman of the ton. She’s seeking out funds to secretly support a financially unstable medical clinic. Her best friend’s older brother had a previous reputation for being daring, but has turned into a serious and overbearing sort of fellow after the death of his mother. He seeks to discourage the lady’s brash behavior, but she brings out the daring and fiery side to himself. Loved reading the banter between these two!

Lady Sarah Hampton would rather sew up a wound than tend to her own heart. Or matrimonial prospects. When the small hospital she’s been volunteering at faces financial peril, she seeks to save them the best way she knows how—one dare, one wager, and one foolish rake at a time. No matter the risk to herself. If her friend’s irritatingly handsome and brutish brother doesn’t stand in her way.
Xavier Evans, Viscount Flint may be known as the Dare King to his old chums, but to Lady Sarah, he’s the King of Brutes. He’d take offense if he weren’t so busy trying to be a better man, the type who rises above insult, never gives it, and protects his family. But when his sister’s happiness hinges on her friend’s safety, he’ll have to figure out how to keep the sharp-tongued and beautiful Lady Sarah—who hates him—safe, too.
Sarah and Xavier are meant to be together. Sarah doesn't want to get married. Xavier wants just the opposite.
Charlie. Lane writes a good book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

I really liked this story, it is a different take the story of Robin Hood if he were a woman, living in Regency London and wanted to help support a hospital for the poor.

I found it was well written with action, romance, humor and all the Regency romance likes.

I liked Sarah's wild nature while trying to be cautious to try to protect her friends and family and Xavier's struggle with himself to fight his attraction to Sarah, do what is right for his family and keep the promise he made to his mother.

While this is book number six in The Debutante Dares series Ms. Lane does a balanced job of making sure you don't feel totally lost but leaves you wanting to read (or re-read) the previous books, good job.

I would recommend Daring Done Right and the rest of the The Debutante Dares series.

I received this ARC from WOLF Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank-you.
