Laura Kaye is in my top 5 ‘go-to’ authors when it comes to reaching for a book that I know I will enjoy. I discovered her awesomeness though a novella, and Dare to Resist is another superb indication to just how much story this author can pack into such a small amount of words! Not to mention it is the prequel novella to the new Wedding Dare series releasing through Entangled Brazen in June, featuring some pretty exceptional authors, and what I am 100% sure will be absolutely brilliant books!Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks have got history between them. Being her older brother Tyler’s best-friend, Kady is pretty sure that Colton has only ever seen her as someone to look out for and keep out of mischief, pretty much like her brother has done over the years. The snark and sarcasm between them in the beginning is pretty funny, and you know you are in for a good read, when you are smiling to yourself at their conversations.Kady – He was beyond gorgeous when he wasn’t talking.Apart from one night 3 years ago, when things took a step over to the non-friend zone, Colton has kept her firmly at arm’s length, but not necessarily for the same reasons Kady is imagining!She couldn’t actually think of a time when Colton Brooks hadn’t owned a little piece of her heart.After travelling to nowhersville, and bidding against each other for a lucrative military contract Kady and Colton end up stranded in a rundown Motel for the night due to a terrific storm causing all flights out of the area to be cancelled. After discovering her room has literally got a ‘waterfall’ leaking through the roof, and catching Colton’s colleague in a compromising position with his lap-top, some hand lotion and tissues, they decide they will have to share his room for one night.”If you crack a joke right now I swear I will knee you in the junk.”It’s not difficult to imagine what happens thereafter what with all the pent-up sexual tension between them, and Colton’s discovery that Kady isn’t quite as innocent as she seems... What did surprise me is Laura’s writing, Colton has a deliciously dirty mouth, and isn’t afraid to follow through with the action to back up his words...Laura Kaye got all dirty on me and I LOVED ITThe introduction that Laura has given us to this couple and for the forthcoming series is first-rate. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the books now have in store for us.ARC provided by Entangled, and it was my absolute pleasure to provide the above honest review.
