Full Blurb
He rejected her. She loathes him. Now they have to fool everyone and pretend they actually like each other.
Tanner Harris has been busy shagging his way through the ladies of east London, but getting caught by the paparazzi buck-naked with his trouser snake in his hands means he’s sowed his last wild oat.
Dr. Belle Ryan once thought Tanner Harris was the perfect kind of bearded bad boy she needed to relieve a bit of stress after her intense job as a surgical fellow, but an icy cold rejection from London’s sluttiest footballer puts the two at each other’s throats.
Fate and a favour conspire to put Tanner and Belle back in each other’s paths and they’re forced to do a lot more than get along to save face and their careers.
Rage turns to passion and tempers run sizzling hot when they realise they aren’t just falling for each other—they’re jumping head first. And neither have the endurance to keep their hands to themselves. endurance teaser 1.jpg
REVIEW- 5 STARS
5 Stars!

A wonderfully witty and well written story, Endurance by Amy Daws is a must read book. As the follow up to the first book in the series Challenge, Endurance is the story of Tanner and Belle, characters we met in Challenge. Their chemistry and snarky behavior towards one another scream sexual tension, and the readers of this book will not be disappointed.
Tanner Harris plays hard on the pitch, and even harder in his personal life. As a professional soccer (or football as it is coined in the book) player for Bethnal Green, he is the captain and resident bad boy. His antics have gotten him splashed on the front page of the gossip rags numerous times over the last few months. One more indiscretion and his father/coach is going to have to suspend him. When Belle reluctantly comes to his naked in public rescue, he accidentally brings her into his mess and eventually as his beard.
Dr. Belle Ryan lusted after Tanner Harris, and was justifiably pissed when all of a sudden he dropped the flirting and gave her a wide berth. I guess being best friends with his brother’s girlfriend is a libido killer. She can’t stand his antics over the last few months and despises him to hide the actual hurt deep down. As the daughter of a prominent government figure, she very reluctantly agrees to be Tanner’s girlfriend to help save face for both of them. What starts off as fake for the media quickly turns into friends with benefits, and eventually more.
Tanner doesn’t understand his feelings for Belle. As someone who sticks to one night stands, having feelings and caring for someone else is foreign to him. Belle is equally gun shy, but deep down loves him. They have to learn each other, away from the media and determine what is real and what is fake. When Tanner lays it all on the line, Belle gets cold feet and has to figure out if taking a leap of faith is something that she can do. The rewards will be utterly worth it if it means she gets Tanner.
Amy Daws has written a fantastic follow up to this series. I thoroughly enjoyed Challenge, but this book blows it out of the water. It has depth, wit, exceptional writing, and a way of pulling you in so much that the book can’t be put down. Belle is emotionally damaged, and she was written perfectly without too much whining or pettiness. She laid it all out and it was relatable. Her character could have gone either way, but I felt for her instead of being fed up with her. Tanner was the same. He had his own issues he had to come to terms with, and once he did he was an epic character. Even damaged he was lovable, but throughout the story he became so much more.
Endurance was an exceptional book and I can’t wait for the next in the series. Gareth please!


EXCERPT
I cheers my beer with hers and chug the rest down. I drop the bottle and begin swirling Indie around in a childish spin that sends us both flying in different directions and crashing to the ground. Hot, sweaty hands wrap around me and pull me to my feet.
“Thank you, Good Samaritan,” I slur, turning to face my gallant saviour.
When my eyes glance up and focus, I’m stunned by the bearded vision before me. “You look like a guy I know!”
He clutches his hands firmly around my waist and holds me to him. “You look like a girl I want to know.”
I laugh half-heartedly and try to pull away.
“Are you trying to leave me, lass?” he slurs into my ear.
I frown and my head bobbles. “How could I leave you, Jesus? You’re God’s son…You’re everywhere.” I throw my hands out wide to punctuate my “everywhere” and attempt to stumble away.
He grabs me again, this time his hands dipping lower to my arse. My good mood evaporates instantly. “Hey!” I shout. “Watch your fucking hands!”
I attempt to shove him away, but he feels like one of those doors that you push when you’re supposed to pull. He doesn’t budge. He leans in close and whispers in my ear, “I’d like to put my hands on your tight little—”
Right when I’m about ready to punch the wank stain in his vile mouth, I nearly fall over as a strange momentum spins me away. The man’s hands are no longer groping me. They are now pinned deftly behind his back by no other than—
“Tanner?” I utter with a gasp, my hands covering my mouth at the shock of the scene before me.
“Shove the fuck off, you disgusting prat, before I turn your wrist into a pretzel.” Tanner pushes him into a nearby table, and the man almost topples over but catches himself before scurrying away without a look back.
Blue, angry eyes swerve to me. “Ryan,” Tanner growls, slicing a hand through his hair to get it off of his face. “I’ve texted you like twenty times.”
“I…I…I haven’t looked at my mobile in a while.”
“No fucking shit.” His bearded jaw is taut with anger. “I’m taking you home.”
He reaches out for my arm but I yank it away from him.
“No, you’re not.”
His shoulders rise and fall with a deep breath. “I’m taking you home. You’re completely pissed.”
My eyes narrow. “Of course I am. It’s Tequila Sunrise night.”
“I don’t give a fuck,” he snaps. “Let’s go.”
I shoot him a murderous look when a voice interrupts us. “I’ve got mine. You got yours?” I turn to see Camden holding a sleepy-looking Indie against his body.
Determination slices through Tanner’s voice. “I’ve got her.”
I turn to face him, stumbling a bit as I wag my finger in his face. “Hey, I am not yours!” Suddenly, Tanner bends over and I’m airborne for a second, landing heavily on top of his shoulder. “Are you fucking kidding me, Harris?” I begin pounding on his back but it’s to no avail. “I’m in a dress. My arse is hanging out for all of England!”
“Your arse was hanging out when you spread out on the floor a minute ago. I’m taking you home, Ryan. Even if you’re kicking and screaming.”
“You’re such an arrogant arsehole!” My hands stop their assault on Tanner’s backside in favour of covering my rump. This is mortifying. I hang my head and let my hair cover my face, praying like fuck I don’t see anyone I know. “I can’t believe this is happening.”
“Believe it, woman.” Tanner pauses at the door and turns his body so my head is facing a different direction. “Now, tell this nice man I’m not a rapist.”
A bouncer-looking bloke turns his head upside down to make eye contact with me. I mumble, “He’s not a rapist. Just a walking dead man.” I straighten a bit with my crescendoed scream. The bouncer lets out a hearty laugh that dumps hot coals into the pit of my belly. So not the reaction I was looking for.
He moves to let us pass and then Tanner drops me down in front of a cab. I ball up my fists and wallop him a few times. “I’m not a petulant child, you animal.”
He doesn’t even flinch.
I exhale in concession and fold myself in behind Indie and Camden. When we’re all in the cab and it begins moving, Tanner breaks the silence with a surprisingly jovial tone. “Well, did you all have a fun night?”
