Resisting Velocity is a werewolf love story. It follows a rock band on their tour. This rock band is a little different than most other bands. All of the members, including their security detail are wolves. But it was set in the everyday world, not the world of packs and wolf colonies. So sometimes it was easy to forget that these guys were werewolves. They seemed just like normal rockstars.Zane seemed totally different on the inside than he portrayed himself on the outside. He seems like a tough, rocker, womanizer on the outside, but on the inside he was just a guy trying to get a girl to love him. I did want to see a little bit more about why he initially liked Charlie. He liked her for forever it seemed like, but I didn't really get why. I wanted to know more about their relationship prior to page one. I really liked Zane though and I admired his determination when it came to Charlie. He never gave up, which was really sweet. Charlie really does seem to be a great match for him, and I really liked the scenes where they were together the most.I thought Charlie's progression was more believable. She knew she was attracted to Zane but that he was trouble and so she stayed away. But he eventually wore her defenses down with a crazy(!!) plan that I can't even believe worked so well. The plan was seriously nuts, I was surprised he got anyone to go along with it.Resisting Velocity was a really nice romance. It seemed like we just got to glimpse a few moments in the life of Charlie and Zane. I loved the scene in the gym with all the guys and I would have liked more like it. I like that this is a series, so I hope we get to see more of the guys in the next book. I enjoyed Resisting Velocity, but I was not blown away with it. I enjoyed all the aspects of it. The characters were good, the romance was hot, and the ending was satisfying but nothing went above and beyond to me. Still, I liked the book and I can see it being something werewolf and shifter fans will love.*Disclaimer- I got this book for free in exchange for my honest review.
