ABOUT THE BOOK

From USA Today bestselling author Ava Harrison comes a steamy standalone romance about a grumpy talent agent and the gorgeous business rival who can’t stand him.

He’s the hotshot agent who hates my guts.
I’m the (almost) one-night stand turned business rival.

Imagine my surprise when Paxton Ramsey shows up across the boardroom table.
Gone is the sexy smirk, replaced by open hostility with a side of taunting.

His overbearing, grumpy attitude makes my blood boil.
But I can’t forget the taste of our kiss. The thrill of his touch.

Our clients expect us to work together.
I can’t even stand being in the same zip code.

Surely, I can survive one week trapped on an island with my nemesis?
Until one week turns into two. Then three. Then four.

When he flaunts his power to make my career dreams come true…
It takes everything in me not to ruin his.

Paxton Ramsey thinks he’ll be the death of me.
But I just might teach him how to live in the process.

Resist by Ava Harrison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven’t read an Ava Harrison book in about 4 years or so, but I have listened to about 8 or 9 of her audiobooks and I am an addict! Resist sounded too good to me to wait for audio credits to be available so I jumped at the chance to read an ARC and it was so good I tried to read thru the night (lol) but alas, my eyes were on fire, so I had to finish in 2 sittings and it was well worth the lack of sleep and painful eyes!

What I loved most about this story is that it starts sexy with a bang but it’s not a sexually driven story. The story is character driven which is perfection for their situation and circumstances! They’re business rivals who actually loathe one another but the hate isn’t because they know know each other, it’s the whole business rivals. Feel me so far? When they’re forced into a close proximity situation, they begin to learn and understand each other and realize the assumptions they had were just that, assumptions … and it doesn’t hurt they have fire chemistry for days!

Everything about this story was delicious and exciting and easy to get lost in. I can’t wait till I can get lost in the story again thru Jason Clarke & CJ Bloom’s narration!
