Dare Davis, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has been living the past fifteen years of his life not taking risks. He considers himself fearless because he refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt him. He’s had his heart broken before, he’s not looking for it to happen again. He’s the one who let love slip through his fingers… Noah Pearson, thirteen-year veteran of the Austin Fire Department, finds himself being roped into a favor by his mischievous stepsister. When Milly invites him to come along on a cruise to the Caribbean, he finds himself giving in. What he doesn’t know is that Milly’s playing matchmaker. However, Milly’s surprise backfires when Noah finds himself front and center with the man who slipped through his fingers fifteen years ago. Some people believe in second chances. Things heat up when the mischievous, fun-loving bad boy comes face to face with this smoking hot fire fighter. Now that Dare and Noah find themselves sharing a room on a week-long cruise, can they find a way to keep the peace and ignore their past? Or – thanks to the decisions they made long ago – will they come full circle, picking right back up where they left off?

Review by Theresa M.
Second chance love makes its way to Dare and Noah, but it won’t be an easy reconciliation. Having broken up 15 years prior, they find themselves the victim of a matchmaking scheme by Noah’s stepsister, Milly. What ensues is a roller coast of emotions.
Dare Davis, one of the owners of Pier 70 Marina has been shielding his heart for 15 years. He works almost non-stop just to keep himself busy and avoiding any type of relationship. He’s had some one-night stands, but he doesn’t want any more than that.
Noah Pearson, a firefighter and roofer, is suffering through the same heartbreak as Dare. He has the same busy work life as Dare, for much of the same reason. He’s had a couple of brief relationships, but nothing compares to what he and Dare once shared.
My heart broke reading how Dare and Noah’s relationship ended. There was so much hurt on both sides, and the other didn’t know everything that contributed to their 15-year absence from each other’s lives. They’re both proud men, but they know in their hearts that ignoring a chance for them to get back together would be a huge mistake.
These gorgeous men are both alphas, and their sexual dynamic had me squirming in my seat—literally. This is a beautiful love story, and Nicole doesn’t disappoint. You get a front row invitation to Cam and Gannon’s wedding, while catching up with the antics of the Pier 70 gang as they take a week-long cruise full of sun, fun, and surprises.
I already know Nicole can write a hot love story, and I’ve read a few of her series several times. She’s one of my favorite authors.
Fearless is the second book in the Pier 70 series, and I can’t wait for the next one!
I received this ARC as a complimentary gift for an honest review, and I give it 5 stars.
Fearless Excerpt © Nicole Edwards 2016
Getting out of that cabin was the only option Dare had. That or he was going to strip Noah naked and ride him until the sun came up. Or vice versa. He didn’t really care which. Okay, yes, he did, but now was not the time for that. He needed to gather his thoughts.
Plus, he needed to return Roan’s key and let him know that he wouldn’t need a place to crash after all.
Then he needed to find food.
God, he was starving. He hadn’t eaten much at the reception because he’d been too nervous. But even if he had, he would still be hungry. That was how he rolled.
By the time they emerged from their cabin, it seemed most of the other cruise-goers had called it a night. The halls were deserted, as was the main deck, where they ended up after making a quick pass through the casino and then deciding against any more gambling for the evening. As it was, the wager between them was steep enough. Dare knew he didn’t have anything else to bet.
So he settled for pizza and soda, which they devoured outside.
For the next hour, they walked around, close but not too close. When he yawned for the third time, Noah suggested they head back, and Dare reluctantly agreed.
He was edgy, he couldn’t deny that. Although they were alone out here—for the most part—being alone in their cabin was decidedly different. No one could happen upon them in there, which meant their clothes could fall off. And then he could… What if he tripped and his dick slipped right into Noah’s mouth? That could be awkward.
Well, the last part wasn’t too bad of an idea, provided it didn’t result in any damage to his dick.
However, that wasn’t going to happen tonight. Not on purpose and not by accident.
