Blog Tour Review & Giveaway: The Resistance – S. L. Scott

You don’t choose when.

You don’t choose where.

And you don’t get to choose who you fall in love with.

The minute he opened his sexy mouth, Holliday Hughes should have known Jack Dalton was trouble. His smooth pickup lines, broad shoulders, and ridiculously handsome face charmed her right out of her clothes. She gave into her desires, the instant attraction blinding her to the obvious.

One night. That was all it took for Holliday’s world to be flipped on its axis. Jack Dalton was cocky. Smug. Volatile. Demanding. He ignited something deep inside her like no other, but there was something more to this brooding bad boy. There was a dark side to him she couldn’t help but be drawn to.
Torn between what she knew about him and a mysterious side he tried to hide, could she walk away or was he simply too hard to resist?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This was a very different kind of rocker love story.  Sure there was the angsty, somewhat jaded rock God, but Jack Dalton was very, very different.  He walked around like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and his was looking for one place that would push everything else aside and make him feel happiness and to have a sense of home.  Vegas is the last place you’d think he would find what he needed.  And he really didn’t think he’d find it in the sassy mouthed Holliday Hughes at a casino bar.

From the moment Dalton and Holli meet, you can feel their chemistry.  It’s in their banter with each other.  The fact the each of their sarcastic barbs don’t hurt the other, but rather they see that barb as a sort of mating ritual.  And as they get to know each other better, that chemistry (while extremely hot when it comes to their sex life) helps them navigate the emotional ups and downs they go through as both Dalton and Holli try to work through their personal issues and make their relationship work.

I loved how the author didn’t give these characters a fairy tale type of romance.  She made it hard for Dalton and Holli, forcing them to really work at building their relationship.  But for each pitfall the couple had to face and work through, you knew that despite the hurt they would find a way to fight back.

This was my first S. L. Scott book and I have to say I really enjoyed her voice and the world she built in this story.  I’ll definitely be looking for more from this author in the future.
