Dare to Resist (Wedding Dare Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,089 ratings

Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks click on a level that defies logic. There are only two problems. One, he's her older brother's irritating best friend, and two, they're bidding on the same military security services contract.

When the competition heats up, Colton is torn between wanting to strangle Kady (and her annoying brilliance) and kissing her into submission. Which is a bad idea for a million reasons, because Kady's submission is exactly what he craves. Being trapped in a tiny motel room with the object of his darkest fantasies will require every ounce of his restraint.

Kady doesn't want his restraint, but Colton knows better. She deserves love, marriage, and a white picket fence—three things Colton can't give her. But her proximity and the memory of their steamy near-miss three years ago slowly destroys his resolve. And he's not sure how much longer he can keep his hands off…or his heart closed.

Each book in the Wedding Dare series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

"Tale of love, lust and wit that will have you wiping the steam off your e-reader! Her characters are so human, so competitive, and so right for each other! Ms. Kaye has set up the perfect scenario for love, lust, and revelations! I loved every page of this romance. Fun. Fast. Fabulous light reading." ~Tome Tender

Dare to Resist, by Laura Kaye is the first installment of The Wedding Dare Series. And, Wow! What a deliciously addictive novella it was! This was not my first time reading a book by Laura Kaye, so I knew going into this book that I was going to get a sexy and unforgettable reading escape!

Kady and Colton set the tone to this amazing new series that is sure to melt your heart … and your panties! LOL!!! What better way to start this amazing journey than with a ‘’Falling for your best friend’s sister’’ story. No matter how many times authors write about it, I’ll read it! Kady has been in love with her brother’s best friend since she can remember. Colton always knew how to get under her skin, but always kept her at a distance. When they come face-to-face to battle for a military security contract, sparks fly. How long can they resist the temptation?

Oh my Lord!!! This was one super steamy, fast-paced novella! Kady and Colton have an intense chemistry! My kindle was on FIREEEEE!!!! When I read a novella I never know what to expect. It’s very rare to find a novella that is going to make you feel a rainbow of emotions. This novella had it all!

Colton has always kept a distance from Kady because he was scared of being in a serious relationship. His parents’ marriage was a disaster and he did not want that for Kady. He wanted to give her all that she deserved. After spending a few days together, stuck in a hotel room, they realized that they had a few things that were left unsaid and once they give into their passion there is no way they can resist one another.

This book was a mix of funny, tender and steamy moments. I enjoyed it from beginning to end! I wanted more! I devoured it! I got to the end of the book so fast that I was making sure I did not skip any pages. Kady and Colton really were an awesome couple and I loved reading about them. I’m so happy that I will get to see them again in the other books of the series, since it’s because of them that the other couples will meet ;)

I give, Dare to Resist, by Laura Kaye 4.5 sensual, thrilling, page-turning stars! I can’t wait to read the rest of this awesome series!

I really enjoyed reading this little glimpse into Colt and Kady’s coming together. I just didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. A super quick read at only 150 pages. And a super hot one, too!

Dare To Resist is the kick-off to the Wedding Dare series as it features the couple whose wedding is where all the things goes down. I don’t think that this is necessarily a spoiler that these two do end up together. This prequel just shows how things finally came together for these two.

After years of crushing on her older brother’s best friend, Kady is now stuck competing against him for a job opportunity. They’re both bidding on the same military security contract, and it was fun to see how they both got under each others skin. The tension and the attraction was an obvious thing between these two, threatening to boil over at any minute. I could not wait.

Colt has always noticed Kady, but what she wants he can’t give her. She deserves so much more than he has to offer her. He knows she wants the husband and the kids and the nice house and everything, but he’s the kind of guy that needs a certain something in his life and he doesn’t want to scare Kady with his particular likes…

But while he’s busy being stuck in his head, little does he know that Kady also seems to take a liking for walking on the… rougher side.

This was my first time reading any of Laura Kaye’s work and I’m glad I did because it worked out to be a very, very satisfying read. I actually didn’t know that the Brazen line could be that naughty. Great writing, the attraction and chemistry between the two characters was sizzling hot and I must admit that the older brother’s best friend is kind of my thing. I am usually very interested in seeing how the author deals with it and Kaye didn’t disappoint. She brought the heat and the steamy good times!

I also got this at a great deal for only 99 cents. So worth it.

I have difficulty rating novellas; their reduced size often makes them pale in comparison to full sized novels. Laura Kaye makes it easy, though.

I liked the characters. The dialogue is fun and witty and the protagonists' distinct inner voices give you a quick and clear picture of who they are.

I cared about the characters. Brought together by an external conflict, their inner conflicts (what keeps them apart) is such a core element of their respective inner monologue that you quickly root for them.

The sex scene was hot and sexy, well deserving of the Brazen brand. But was not just an escape - throughout it all, the emotional context remained clearly in sight and it actually acts as the crux of the resolution of the protagonists' inner conflicts.

The ending created emotion. While not the "grab a box of tissues, I'm going to ball" HAE ending of the better Entangled Bliss novels, I found myself feeling joy at their HAE ending, despite the fact that this was a novella.

In summary, Dare to Resist is a very well written sexy novella in which Laura Kaye actually gets to the reader to not only care about the characters but feel happy for them at the end. Recommended only for mature 18+ readers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good!
Reviewed in Brazil on April 14, 2015
Nothing really special about this one, except it was written by Laura effin' Kaye! Love her books but as I have mentioned before, even the greatest author might come off as lacking in such a LIMITING collection as BRAZEN. If you are looking for a quick light read with a bit of spice (the sex scenes are really good) this is the book for you. Just don't expect too much plot or anything like that.

Wow. Okay. What a great start to the A Wedding Dare Novella. Seriously. The chemistry between Kady and Colton is hot hot hot. Can Colton please be my real-life boyfriend? :)
This book was smart, sassy and dominating. The story line was quite basic, which I like. I liked that the main characters weren't annoying and whiney like a lot of books nowadays. I enjoyed this quick read and onto the next in this Novella.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr schöne Kurzgeschichte, Nr. 1 dieser Reihe
Reviewed in Germany on April 9, 2015
die ich gerne mit der vollen Punktzahl weiterempfehle. Sehr spannende Hauptpersonen, rasante Entwicklung des Plots.

Es handelt sich bei der Buchreihe um fünf erotische Geschichten, die von fünf verschiedenen amerikanischen Bestseller-Autorinnen rund um fünf Freundinnen und deren Liebesgeschichten geschrieben wurden. Es dreht sich dabei um eine Hochzeit und eine Wette (dare) der vier Brautjungfern, sich jeweils einen der vier Trauzeugen zu angeln.

Reihenfolge:
1. Dare to Resist / Laura Kaye
2. Baiting the Maid of Honor / Tessa Bailey
3. Falling for the Groomsman / Diane Alberts
4. Seducing the Bridesmaid / Katee Robert
5. Best Man with Benefits / Samanthe Beck

Klingt trivial, die Titelseiten sind mal wieder na ja. In diesem ersten Büchlein wird als Einführung die Geschichte des Brautpaars, Kay und Colton, erzählt, in den anderen vier die der Brautjungfern.

Kady ist seit Teenagerzeiten in den besten Freund ihres älteren Bruders verknallt. Sie haben eine Menge gemeinsam, arbeiten im gleichen Bereich. Vor einigen Jahren änderte sich ihr bislang von seiner Seite eher geschwisterliches Verhältnis schlagartig während einer heißen Nacht. Es gab keine Fortsetzung, seitdem meiden sich die beiden. Sie treffen sich wieder, als sie sich beide um dasselbe Projekt bewerben und werden gezwungen, miteinander im gleichen Motelzimmer zu übernachten. Zeit genug, damit sich zwei Menschen, die sich schon lange unwiderstehlich angezogen fühlen, endlich miteinander auseinander setzen.

Die Geschichte spielt sich innerhalb von 24 Stunden ab und beschreibt die glaubhafte Entwicklung einer Beziehung, in der die Karten ehrlich auf den Tisch gelegt werden. Ich fand den Plot sehr spannend und glaubhaft. Es prickelt zwischen den Zeilen. Wer Fan von erotischen Geschichten ist, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dare To Resist ( A Wedding Dare novella) by Laura Kaye.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2014
This series is linked loosely linked to the McCade Brothers series.... One of the brothers is mentioned in all the novels from both series, often plays a part, with his brothers just being mentioned. I love the way the stories are inter-woven and makes you feel as if you are amongst friends as you go from book to book. The novels are written by different authors, although Samanthe Beck does write all the McCade Brothers set. Although this series is called A Wedding Dare, each story is about one of the bridesmaid or grooms man, and totally different from the others, so the interest is kept. Its great how the authors have been able to accommodate each others work, so closely as to keep the flow going without any flaws, not that I could see anyway. I have loved this series. They are raunchy, humorous, really strong characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun read to kick off Wedding Dare series.
Reviewed in Australia on April 3, 2015
I first read Baiting the maid of honour in this series and to this day Julie and Reed are my all time favourite Entangled Brazen book. Over a few months I read all the books in the series (none could compare to Reed and Julie's story's) but for some reason I avoided Dare to Resist. Finally on a wet dreary Good Friday skimming through Amazon I again saw that this book was recommended and so I made the plunge and spent my dollar. So was it worth it....kinda.....I think the book was written at the height of 50 Shades of Grey and the author was flirting with introducing domination into what is basically a sweet short read. Ms Kaye was successful and the way that Kady and Colton became wicked in the bedroom was fun and really very sweet. You won't regret spending your dollar and it will amuse you for 2 hours. Will I read this again (me test for a brilliant romance) the short and sweet answer is no! However you will wile away a few hours with 2 really lovely characters.
