Dare to Resist by Laura Kaye

5.0

I have yet to come across a Laura Kaye book that I didn't like. ^.^ Dare to Resist is the prequel novella to the Wedding Dare series from Entangled Brazen. I had already read the last book in the series, Best Man with Benefits by Samanthe Beck, as an ARC for review, so I pretty much had an idea what happens to the two lead characters in this prequel. Still, I was glad to finally learn the story before the events of the four other books. ^.^

Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks have known each other for years. Kady is the younger sister of Colton's best friend and has always nursed a crush for him. Things come to a head three years prior to the events in this book and their relationship has been tense and awkward since then. When nature forces them together for one night, they're finally forced to choose between ignoring what's going on between them or doing something about it.

I loved the friction and tension between Kady and Colton. Kady wasn't some helpless heroine and Colton wasn't some cookie-cutter Mr. Nice Guy. These two knew how to push each other's buttons and I guess you could say it was some weird form of foreplay on their part. Hahaha.

If it's one thing that Laura Kaye has proven yet again with this novella, it's that she's more than capable of weaving a worthwhile story into a limited number of pages. I seriously need to start reading her much longer novels. ^.^

Dare to Resist gets 4.5 stars out of five, rounding that rating off to five stars (because Goodreads doesn't believe in halfsies). ♥
