Dare Brothers #3

Daring Contrast

Rate this book
Four

Getting restless with the predictability of life, Four Dare reluctantly agrees to do a cargo run for his brother. When he lands on the docks in Nome to unload the plane and pick up his return cargo, he gets more than he bargained for.

Who is this uptight, proper chick in a pantsuit, waving a wad of cash around, asking for a flight to Seward? She’s too innocent, and completely out of her element. Is she worth the headache, or is the headache exactly what he needs to spice things up?

Genevieve

Faced with a future she doesn’t want, Genevieve Alderidge can’t bear to live under her father’s dictatorship for even a second longer. With no time to waste and even less time to pack, Genevieve concocts a hasty plan to escape. What she doesn’t expect is for this rude, crude, and ruggedly handsome pilot to become the only one who can get her where she needs to go.

On her own for the first time, Genevieve finds herself immersed in a world of foul-mouthed Dares. They’re loud, proud, and everything she doesn’t understand, making her wonder if she has what it takes to survive on her own. With no one by her side except the pilot who flew her here, can Genevieve take back control of her life and learn who she wants to be, or is Forsyth Dare just another man who underestimates her?

They contrast in every aspect of life.

Will their differences be too much, or can they thrive together?

Again, I really enjoyed this even though it's totally not something I would usually read.

I normally avoid MF books because they give me a lot of anxiety with the sex scenes for reasons, but the way Genevieve talks in purely medical terms for the majority of the time actually made me feel more comfortable, weirdly. I still mainly skim over the sex scenes in MF books when they happen, except for the dialogue in case anything essential is said for the plot, but I didn't find myself that anxious at all with this one.

I really loved Gen and Four together. I liked the complete contrast between them and how it weirdly worked. I would have liked a little more at the end though with the whole relationship with her parents and deciding to stay in Seward. It felt a little rushed and I was hoping for more of a showdown, but hopefully that will come with time in another book in the series.

I absolutely LOVE Gar and every time he gets mentioned 😂😂😂 I cannot wait for him to get a book and his own Dare man. Definitely my favourite character and he barely even does anything or says anything!!! He's magical, I swear, but I'm as hooked as those Dare boys are on him.

Excited to read the next book because the build up has been coming for three books now and I'm definitely ready to see Kade happy.

I'm also impatiently waiting to get Zahn and Remy's book - they're similar in dynamic to Xavi and Nate from Knock Knock, but not as sweet and goofy from what I can tell, so I'm really looking forward to it and seeing how they get together.

If you like unconventional human dynamics and relationships this a series you HAVE TO read.

I just finished this book and I'm in love, with the entire family, Dare momma—the fucking best—Gen's growth, and Four, like in general. A bad boy with tats, a foul mouth, kinky mind, and heart of gold working in search and rescue in Alaska mountains. I mean, can I have one like him?

This story in particular was so precious. It shows how not only opposites attract but how people from completely different worlds can find comfort and a safe place in each other. And this is just mentioning the psychological part of this couple. But I feel like the spice is raising, testing more limits with each book, and it's always so well written. I freaking love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

So if you're up for openness, acceptance, smut that will take you to hell, and a loving and caring relationship, I defo recommend you read this one.

So darn cute! And dirty lol

I just love the Dare family. Soooooo much. I think Four might be my favorite of the 3 brothers so far and Gen really was a little peach. I love how these books always have people finding themselves and it's a journey. All with the support of the Dare family. They're just the best. ❤️

Can't get enough of the Dare Family!

Even though this has been my fourth (possibly fifth?) time reading this, I just love this series and can't wait to buy and re-read the rest of the series.
Highly recommended!!

Sometimes you just have to walk away from what you know, to find what you truly deserve.

I'm am obsessed with this author, serise and this family. I just need to get my hands on the next 4 books before withdrawals kick in!

The relationships you will find in these books are not conventional and each book will push the limits of the last.

You can expect to find some very unconventional relationship dynamics, tab00 situations and lots of exhibiti0nism and v0yeurism.
With 10 sinfully sexy, foul mouthed, dirty talking brothers and female main characters you can't help but fall in love with, you are guaranteed one hell of a ride!

Four is delicious but not not what I was expecting. The lengths he went to, to not only help Gen save herself, but the way he goes about helping her experience new things, near melted me.

Gen herself is an absolute babe. She is courageous and strong and an absolute beauty! I loved seeing her blossom and grow into the person she wants to be.

The story itself was yet again really enjoyable! I was routing for Gen from the first second I met her and despite Gen and Four being total opposites, they work perfectly together.

The spice, as always, was on point BUT that car scene??? 🥵🥵🥵🥵 I can honestly say I don't think I've ever read anything so hot in my life.
I was not prepared for that to go down, nor was I prepared for how much I'd like it. I think it's safe to say that, that scene will forever live rent free in my mind.

**********Contains Spoilers**********

After reading my first book (Little Demon in the Details) by Nordika Night, which I really enjoyed. I decided to check out more of her books and I’m really glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought it was a good addition to the Dare Brothers Series. I just loved Four and Gen. Their chemistry was completely off the charts, as well as hot as hell. I loved seeing Gen start to slowly take back the reigns of her life, and be the women she should’ve always been if her whole life wasn’t controlled by her father. Four helps her learn to love herself, as well a corrupting her in the best most pleasurable ways possible. All I can say that I just love the Dares, especially Mama Dare. I also love their porch talks. I’m looking forward to getting more of them as the series continues. It’s Jed, Kade & Laken’s turn next. They have a lot of sh*t to sort out since things shifted between them. I’m also looking forward to reading more books by Nordika Night in the future. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.

THE TRUCK SCENE!! THE DARE FAMILY DYNAMIC. GEN & FOUR!! 🎬❤️‍🔥🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I’m so floored by this series and fall more in love with it as I make it to each book.

I definitely was able to resonate heavy with Gen & loved the way she was able to live for herself and defy the path that was created for her. The way she was able to find a home with the Dare Family and is able to now express herself without being held down and molded into someone her parents want her to be is just UGHH freakin awesome to see. Her dynamic with Four and how OPPOSITES ATTRACT. I absolutely ate it up!

I swear the truck scene was so memorable it’s like engraved into my brain.
NO SHAME IN THE DARE HOUSE! Now I wish I was apart of this family! 🥹
Such open, beautiful and respectful boundaries and not within “societal standards” which, who in their right minds wants to be apart of that anyways!! 😘

Can’t wait to see how KADE-LAKEN-JED’S dynamic progresses into the next book!!

Let me start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Four was perfection, just like every other Dare brother before him, and I really enjoyed the differences between him and Gen. The foul-mouthed, rugged bush pilot and the blushing southern peach. Their story was a lot of fun and wasn’t lacking in the spice department, but I found myself not being quite as invested in these two as I was with the previous couples. I think it might be due to the fact that I know book four is about Jed and Laken finally putting Kade out of his misery and adding him to the mix, and I’m looking forward to it so much, I had a hard time focusing on Four and Gen. Not fair? Maybe, but a testament to Nordika’s writing nonetheless, seeing as I’m chomping at the bits to get more of her characters. Daring Contrast was a solid 4 stars for me and is well worth the read.

Absolutely love those books. You just feel like a part of this big ass family that will punch you in the gut but then give you the most loving hug ever. I am in love with every single one of them and I can't wait for the next book! Also Gen and Four? Damn that's some spicy chemistry there!

Im not a slow burn fan, but it was very well written & I enjoyed it to the end.
Didn’t leave the mark like the others, but was still needed to make this series a 5⭐️ series! Definitely can’t have the line up without this one

⭐︎3.75 Rounded Up!⭐︎
The slow burn in this book was sizzling. I am still enjoying the series and how each story is different. We have Four, one of the Dare brothers meeting Genevieve, an innocent, polite floozy with lady like habits coming into the Dare Family of openness, no shame and lots of Voyeurism. I enjoyed their first interaction, meeting the family it was wholesome and so cute. Also, always set me up for a Dare Dinner.
If you enjoy slow-burn romance stories, this is perfect.
For me, I felt like Gen's innocent and her half-virgin character got a bit dragged for me to like it that much. When the anticipated act , finally happened, I think I skimmed through it. We also know that she wanted to take back her power not just sexually which is what the book mostly focused on but what about her as a doctor. I was hopping we would get to see her in a hospital, or maybe working with Four in rescue. Still, I enjoyed the book.

favorite book

I love and am obsessed with the entire Dare family, I mean what’s not to love? But, that being said, Four and Gen are my absolute favorites. I love the opposites attract, polite/barbaric, etc. They just have the best dynamic. I’m so excited for the next book!
