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.

My Review:

Phillips delivers a heartwarming second chance romance in Just One Tease, the last book in the Kingston Family Series. This friends-to-lovers story will have you hooked from beginning to end!

As the end of the school year is approaching, Hadley Stevens can recall a time when her life used to be completely different. When her name was something else or when she got given a new life, forcing her to leave the love of her life behind. It’s been ten years since she’s seen Zach Dare, the friend who grew into something more and it hasn’t been a day since she hasn’t stopped thinking about him. But after a close encounter outside the school that leaves her shaking, Hadley is put in a position to take her younger sister away in order to protect themselves. So she finds herself packing up once again without knowing when they’ll be back home. With no destination in mind, she comes across a magazine with Zach’s face on it, reads what he’s done and decides on asking for his help. Little does she know just how much is her life going to change forever.

Zach never expected to see Hadley once again, especially after the way she left. She broke his heart and his life was never the same. His family name is well-known, but his reputation and businesses have made him very wealthy on his own right. Zach can also sense that there is so much more to Hadley and he vows to protect her at all costs. But his walls are high and he won’t be falling for her again, or so he thinks.

I throughly enjoyed reading Just One Tease, the characters were relatable and their chemistry was magnetic. We truly get to know them well as they get to know each other again. Feelings were hurt and a lot has happened in the past decade, but they are willing to trust each other again, this time to keep Hadley and her sister safe. But they don’t expect the twist in events that has them facing obstacles coming their way. Obstacles that could threaten to pull them away once and for all. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out Just One Tease and the rest of the series, I cannot wait to read what Phillips comes up with next. :)
