Dare to Resist Excerpt By Laura Kaye Damn she had a smart mouth on her. So many things he’d like to do to temporarily cure her of that. Andnow he knew she’d enjoy them, too. “Kady, I just meant—” She huffed, stoking both the flames of his aggression and his arousal. “I got it.” He fisted his hands. “No, you fucking don’t, because you won’t stop talking long enough for me to explain myself.” She blanched. “Well, do it. What do you want to say?” Here it was. Moment of truth time. Fucking finally. “Three years ago—” “Colton, I don’t want to talk about ancient—” He was on her in a flash. One hand over her mouth, the other cradling the back of her head so that he didn’t hurt her when he shoved her against the closet door. He held her there with the weight of his own body, his legs on the outsides of hers effectively boxing her in. “It’s not your turn to talk. Understand?” Eyes wide, nostrils flaring, Kady searched his eyes and finally nodded. He could almost feel the questions rolling off of her. “Three years ago,” he said again, arching a brow, “I pulled back from what we started for a couple of reasons. Same reasons why I pulled away again yesterday when I wanted to kiss you. But this book…this book makes me wonder if maybe one of those reasons isn’t as relevant as I originally thought.” He heaved a breath and leaned his forehead against hers, bringing them eye to eye. “The guy in your book? I’m that guy,” he said, putting it in terms he hoped she’d understand. A shiver ran over her body. Against his chest, her nipples went hard. Holy hell. Did his declaration just turn her on? Her pupils were dilating. Right there was his answer. His cock went from hard to downright torture. “You get what I’m saying?” he asked. A small nod. “I get off on being rough. Because I like and respect you, and because you’re my best friend’s little sister—” Her brows furrowed. He pressed his hand more firmly against her mouth and nailed her with a stare. “I get it. After our talk yesterday, that’s not how I see you. But it is how Tyler sees you. How he’ll always see you. Big brothers are genetically programmed to be protective of younger sisters no matter their age. Trust me. I know from firsthand experience. So I’ve backed off because I didn’t want to scare you or offend you with what I want, and I certainly didn’t want to piss Tyler off, either.” Her fingers pulled softly at the hand covering her mouth, a gentle plea. He removed his hand immediately. “Can I say something now?” she asked quietly. When had Kady Dresco ever asked for permission to speak around him? But he’d exerted a little dominance over her, and she’d responded with submissiveness. Probably wasn’t even aware she’d done it. A dark satisfaction heated his blood and further hardened his cock. “Go ahead.” DTR RT Banner DARE TO RESIST Synopsis: Trapped and tempted, this battle of wills rages all night long… 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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dare to Resist by Laura Kaye is a Entangled publishing (brazen) novella with an expected May 2014 release. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Kady is a formula genius hoping for a lucrative contract with the army. He main competition is Colton Brooks, her brother's best friend. Colton has his own company and is looking for a partner. But, at the moment he is out to snag the same contract Kady is. While they are in the same city the two wind up together in the same motel. The sparks that were already in place from three years back suddenly threaten to erupt into a full blown fire.
Colton can't get the image of Kady being his best friend's sister and therefore she must be innocent and could not handle his sexual cravings. LIttle does he know that Kady also has a certain type of fantasy and it's not sweet and innocent.
This erotic short story/ novella sets the stage for a series of novels based on the friends and family of Coltona and Kady. The story has a flirtatious beginning that leads to sharing some erotic fantasies to testing those fantasies out with each other, then finding they are very compatable in ways they never would have imagined. While BDSM is mentioned this novel is really doesn't hae any scenes set in that environment. There is an emotional attachment as well and an old fashioned HEA. This one is gets 4 stars
