Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an emotionally charged romance novel. Both heroes were incredibly stubborn and unwilling to give up power to the other to the point where he calls her, she ignores it and then calls him right back to show she's in control. While the sexual tension was incredible and I felt incredible satisfaction watching him burn for her , I was turned off by the constant back and forth. Not too mention he tears everything he builds with her at the end which ends in a CLIFFHANGER!! Wow. Disappointing.
Ryker and Vee... I'll say this first, I know that any critic has to rely on the person actually doing the work to have something to criticize. I usually fall headlong into one of K. Bromberg's books and suffer a book hangover for a time after, in a good way.
Resist, has all of the elements. It's a little flirty. It's a little tense. It's a little gritty. It's a little dirty. It's a little angsty, even. The flirting between Ryker and Vaughn had me turning the page to see who would give in, if anyone. When I'm sold on the flirt, I feel as if I'm the one being flirted with while reading, no matter the character. It didn't happen here. I felt like the cousin on the patio your mom made you invite to the party; a tad uncomfortable, a bit sad. The tension between every character had me wanting to offer them advice to relieve it, but not much advice. Instead I felt like I was standing in a corner filing my nails, looked up every once in a while thinking, "Huh, that revelation is going to suck." As for dirty... well.. again, for me, the steam didn't quite make it out of the kitchen. The grit from Vaughn's shear will, and determination, and Ryker's alpha personality didn't quite make me believe either of them. The angst fell somewhere along the way. Does all this mean I won't read the next installment, nope. I'll read it, hopeful that K. will bring more the "just a little" of the flirty pursuit, tension, grit, dirt, and angst so I have all the feels next time, like I've had with her other books.
