Resisting Love BR with Sara and Jo continues!ARC provided to our Smexy Bookaholics blog by the authors in exchange for an honest review.We were introduced to Kade and Nikki in Chase (Resisting Love #1) where we found out that Nikki and Kade actually slept together before Layla and Chase ever met but we weren’t really given any details as to what happened and why the two of them seem to be so uncomfortable around each other. Kade (Resisting Love #2) is about Kade and Nikki, their relationship, and the obstacles they must overcome if they want to make a relationship work. KadeI think that Kade is by far my favorite of the three brothers. He is very attractive, well endowed, and is HILARIOUS! The scene with a naked Kade, Nikki, and Nikki’s mom had me laughing my ass off! I loved how he pursued Nikki relentlessly (even when she kept trying to push him away), was very protective of her, and he helped her deal with some of her trust/self esteem issues. How I imagined Kade: Kade isn’t without his faults though. His friendship with Ashley strained his relationship with his family, friends, and Nikki. I just wanted to smack some sense into him when it came to that bitch. Some of his decisions when it came to Ashley infuriated me. NikkiNikki has HUGE commitment issues that stem from her being burned very badly by a guy in the past. She is the love ‘em and leave ‘em type of girl. Kade is the first guy that has ever made Nikki want more than just a simple hook up. He makes her want to trust him and take a chance on a relationship with him, even though she is terrified of being hurt again. Nikki is also a hot head and looks for any excuse to get into a fight. And let me tell you, she isn’t the normal kind of girl fighter. She doesn’t slap, scratch, or pull her opponent’s hair; instead, she would rather punch or slam the person’s head into the floor. Honestly, her fights were one of the aspects of this book that I struggled with. I never really understood why she resorted to such violence in order to protect and defend her friends and family. Don’t get me wrong, I loved that she would do anything to protect the people that she cares about, but I felt like she didn’t have to physically hurt others in order to get her point across. She is lucky she was never charged with assault or battery! Overall, this was an enjoyable addition to the Resisting Love series. I didn't struggle as much with the writing style as I did with the first book and was definitely entertained by the humor and characters. This is why I would give Kade 4 solid stars =D
