This BRADEN novella features Kat Martin, Brianna Heart's best friend from HEARTS AT PLAY (The Bradens, #6) with appearances from the hot, wealthy, and wickedly naughty Bradens you know and love.

In DARING HER LOVE…

Kat Martin knows what she wants in a man—someone stable and adoring, definitely not the type of guy who sleeps around. After all, Kat rarely does the wrong thing—until she meets seductively enticing Eric James, and suddenly wrong has never felt so right.

When it comes to his career, race-car driver Eric James is intense, obsessive, and passionate, but when it comes to sex, there’s only one kind—daring, unbridled, and no-strings-attached.

One stormy night, a delayed flight and the dangerous allure of the unknown leads Kat to throw caution to the wind, and she indulges in a rendezvous that she vows to immediately forget—but the secret tryst stirs something possessive in Eric, and forgetting is not an option.

EXCERPT

“Kat and I connected on every level from the moment we met, and even so, this is all so new to me that I was a goddamn nervous wreck this morning. I was worried that she’d changed her mind. That she’d look at my history with women and decide I wasn’t worth the risk.”

Hugh slung an arm over his shoulder. “Dude, you’re an amazing man. You must know that. Any woman would be lucky to be with you.”

“This isn’t about being lucky to be with me. I know my downfalls. You and I both know that I’ve never been a settling-down type of guy, but ever since I began thinking about the future, I’ve felt different. And Kat…Holy hell, Hugh. Kat? She’s the most intense, passionate, intelligent woman I’ve ever met. I finally understand how you fell for Brianna so quickly.”

“And Layla, man. I fell for them both. I love Layla like she’s my own flesh and blood.” Hugh gazed lovingly at his family a few feet away and took a few steps in their direction.

“I know you do. I have to tell you, I meant what I said this morning. I’m thinking more and more about settling down and having a family. And Kat just might be the oil in my gears. I was thrilled when she didn’t shy away from me during breakfast.” Kat looked up, and their eyes caught. His heart skipped in his chest, and the ability to walk and talk at the same time suddenly eluded him. He stood stock-still and said, “I’m the lucky one, man. If she’ll have me, I’ll make sure she never regrets it.”

Before taking the few final steps to Kat, he said, “I think your father was spot-on about the heart leading this cart. I could no sooner walk away from Kat than I could walk away from racing.”

REVIEW: DARING HER LOVE: A BRADENS NOVELLA (THE BRADENS) BY MELISSA FOSTER

Daring Her Love: A Bradens Novella by Melissa Foster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kat- A bad girl seeking to change her ways.

Eric- Temptation with a capital "T".

Any reader of Hearts at Play will recognize Kat as Brianna's trusty friend who helped Brianna and Hugh on the speedway to love. Daring Her Love is Kat's story. Trying to turn over a new leaf has her twisted in knots. Wanting to find the happiness her friend has, she decides to get phase herself from impetuous Kat to look before you leap Kat. It doesn't take long for her to start to regret that decision. I received an ARC of Daring Her Love by Melissa Foster in exchange for an honest review. When I first opened the novella I thought it would be too short for it to live up to Melissa Foster's other reads. After having read it this format worked. I caught up with past favorite characters, met new attention grabbing ones, enjoyed a great story and was able to finished the novella in one day. All good when you're on the go alot.
