Nothing compares to the feeling of finding a book you absolutely adore and treasure. These stories become a part of you because the words weave a web that tightly grip you with no promise of ever surrendering, and you never want to be released. Being truly caught up in a novel and stolen by the story is what any avid reader longs for each time they begin the journey through the pages. This connection is rare and special...definitely meant to be cherished because it seldom happens. The Resistance by S.L. Scott snagged me and it will forever have a place on my ‘all-time favorite’s shelf’.I can only imagine that being in a relationship with a rock star is a constant uphill battle, especially when he lugs around heaps of emotional baggage. Having the prologue in Johnny Outlaw’s point of few was pure genius and allows the reader to immediately wonder what he’s struggling with. It is blatantly obvious that he is hiding a ton of pain beyond his soulful eyes and perhaps he finally found someone to share his troubles with.Holliday Hughes just wanted a stiff drink to take the edge off and if a very attractive man happens to cross her path, her night will get even better. Jack Dalton is very persuasive and Holliday finds her recently built resolve crumbing quickly. He is far too handsome to pass up and they get along extremely well. That night changes their lives forever with the potential for so much more. I loved their discussions of more and how it plays within the story. They always seem to come back to this topic so it became very meaningful to their story. Holliday and Dalton can be everything to each other if reality doesn’t smother their fairytale.Dalton and Holliday are so in tune together that it must be fate or destiny or karma… but they don’t need a label. What they share is so extraordinary that nothing compares. Together they have endless possibilities and can finally find everything they never knew they wanted.  I could feel the love building between them and it flowed freely off the pages into my heart. I was on this rocky, romantic journey right along with them and I fell head over heels as they discovered their magical bond.Jack Dalton is very complex and complicated, my ultimate book boyfriend! I fell harder and farther for him page after page and was hoping he has the chance at the happily ever after he deserves. I am crazy over the Johnny Outlaw quotes that start off each chapter. These little hints give a glimpse of what the section will uncover in the story. I absolutely loved the darkly poetic snippets from Johnny Outlaw and they were a beautiful addition. Dalton is searching for a way to find the peaceful harmony he desperately needs. Holliday could be the answer to his hidden pleas.This is a novel that will stick with you long after you finish the final page. You'll be eager for a re-read because nothing cures the withdrawal except another hit. This author has stolen a piece of my heart with this story. It's truly sensational. I laughed and cried, I was turned on and frustrated, I was upset and worried, but through it all I was blissfully happy to find a book to drag all these raw feelings out of me. The Resistance is a colorful collage of vibrant details and glorious descriptions. It's stuffed full of everything I love so there was no other option than to fall victim to this spectacular story and be completely at the mercy of this talented author.S.L. Scott is a gift to the reading community and deserves all the praise we can muster up. Her writing will light up your life with her fresh and interesting style.  I was hooked from the start and couldn't get enough. She has captured a piece of me forever with this story and I gladly surrender. Hold on for a wild ride!
