I was gifted The Resistance by a wonderful book buddy and blogger. I need to say this first and foremost. Tricia thank you so very much for this fantabulous gift. The Resistance. Oh, it quite simply put blew me away.I truly love rock star romances, they are my guilty pleasure. I have read so many over the last 24 months you would think I’d be sick of them already. But truth be told the truly epic ones, I revisit over and over again just like an old friend. The Resistance goes onto my friends list. I fell in instant love with this book, and I read in less than day just because it was truly binge worthy. I actually read it in a few hours, it was that additive.Holliday Hughes has it all, great career, her own successful company, some great friends, but no one special to share it all with. That would seem troublesome, but in honesty, Holli is content in her daily routines. She’s not looking for anyone special, she works too much. An unexpected solo trip to Vegas flips here entire world on its side. Enter tall, sexy, bad boy. Jack Dalton is what every woman fantasizes about, he’s mysterious, a smooth talker, chivalrous and could probably charm a nun from her panties no joke. Holli and Jack, have an instantaneous attraction, and off the charts sexual chemistry. From their very first encounter, I had no doubt I was truly falling head over heels for these two characters. Their chemistry amazing. Their banter epically awesome, naughty and funny, clever and quick. Holli is strong, independent, and nobody’s pushover. She’s no stranger to the casual hook up and when presented with the opportunity to have one night with this irresistible stranger she seizes it with both hands. The gamble pays off and she is rewarded with the most spectacular night of passion she has ever had. Period. Jack Dalton has secrets, he’s guarded, but in those rare moments when the walls came down, I swooned, sighed, blushed and fell in love all over again.“Loneliness is a trick the heart plays on the mind.”Holli and Dalton’s story is an impassioned love story. It has its ups and downs, it twists and turns, it reels you in relentlessly. I was completely absorbed their universe. S.L. Scott’s writing is flawless, it flows beautifully, and I never found the story lagging. She casts the perfect spell.I was totally spellbound actually. I devoured each chapter, moving onto the next, I could not wait to see how it played out.“We aren’t a couple in love. We’re a couple of people in lust where he can be my demon and I’ll be his angel for the night.”I mean, I needed that damn happily ever after, I mean don’t you?“We can’t predict the future and there’s no reward in that anyway.”The love scenes in The Resistance, steamy, sensual and incredibly addictive. The lust that Jack and Holli feel emanates from the page, I was flushed and found myself fanning myself on one too many occasions I’m sure. But the love story is the true rock star here. I mean who doesn’t adore a bad boy, trying to overcome his demons, while struggling to hold onto the best thing that’s ever stumbled into his life. Who doesn’t love a love story where love is unconditional and over comes impossible odds. The Resistance is a fabulous love story first and foremost; all of its other attributes are just the cherry on top of this decadently delicious read. The Resistance goes onto my favourites list, both for this year and all time.  I’m a sucker for a bad boy rocker. Deal With It. Now go and get your copy and enjoy all of the pleasures that The Resistance delivers in spades. Thanks to S.L. Scott for giving me yet another book boyfriend to add to my ever growing harem.
