About this listen

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?

Meh

Typical. Author got lazy after a while on the juicy parts. Not enough character development for me to get on board with such a whiney brat of a man. I think I could also just be burnt out on romance novels. Go ahead and read it.

I'm drained!

So I'm on SL Scott's mailing list and got an email the other day saying how the book was available for free on Amazon. So I got the book. When I saw the audiobook was $7.49, I jumped at the chance to get it.

I would have preferred that Sebastian York had more chapters, but the story was wonderful and sad all at the same time. Stephanie Wyles did a great job narrating 95% of the book, but still worth it.

Where was Sebastian York?

Absolutely loved the story. There was so much feeling and heartache. It was impossible not to be affected by the story. Can’t wait to hear the second book.

Good story, ending is disappointing

This is a good story but the end not so much. Also, for no reason the last chapter was repeated by 2 separate narrators. Odd.

Poor narration

Stephanie Wyles leaves a lot to be desired in her narration. I enjoyed the story, but seemed to force myself to listen.

2.5 The Story Didn't Quiet Gel For Me

On a business trip to Vegas, Holli meets rock star Jack Dalton (aka Johnny Outlaw). When a night of passion turns into more than a one night stand, they have to find a way to make a relationship work despite the odds stacked against them.

I really wanted to like this book. It had all the makings of a good story but there just some ingredients missing. In Vegas, Holli and Dalton just didn't click as much for me as the author wanted. They had a lot of (very poorly written) sex but the snappy dialogue wasn't really all that snappy. Most of what they said throughout the book read more like inspirational poster quotes than real life conversation. And the quotations at the top of every scene were the same--unoriginal and awkwardly written.

Also, I found it hard to believe that, toward the end of the story, Dalton could recover from a devastating blow after all the craziness, simply by spending a week in Hawaii, getting drunk. It seemed unlikely. Now, if he was getting drunk in Hawaii with a psychiatrist, THAT I might believe.

Their relationship was seriously volatile and Holli was so waffley--does she want to be with him? Or not? I also felt that socializing with Danny was a stupid thing to do. Not because Dalton would be jealous, but because she knew Danny was into her and all of these encounters were just leading him on. It was uncool IMO.

I did like that they tied up all the loose ends at the end of the book. Although the scenes with Dalton's Dad really rang false. His reasons for being so dismissive and rude to Dalton just didn't hold up--there just wasn't enough real backstory there to make his hollow words seem true. And then, for no reason, all is well at the end?? Really?

There was alternating POV between the two characters but it only happened a few times. Mostly the book was told from Holli's POV. So when they switched to Dalton, it felt forced. By the end of the book, we're supposed to believe that he loved her from the moment he saw her and it's shown by the way he remembers to buy her favorite soda. IMO there should have been WAY more moments, both bigger and smaller than this one, illustrating his feelings for her. Just wanting to punch people who spend time with your "girl", doesn't mean you're in love. And for Danny to have whitewashed Dalton's violence, even slightly--like wanting to hurt men who spend time with your girlfriend is a valid expression of your feelings--really annoyed me. This is why so many women stay with violent men. We shouldn't be championing this behavior. It should be considered wrong. Period.

In any case, there was potential for this book to be much better but it never reached it IMO.

Alexandria Watts was just OK with the delivery of the story.

Good

Would you consider the audio edition of The Resistance to be better than the print version?

Nice book. A bit naughty for my taste, BUT I guess that was good. Nice to be intoduced to new things when reading.

Narration

If you like a two person narration, like I do, you won’t find it here. Sebastian York was in the prologue and the last chapter.
