Hard to Resist by Shanora Williams

3.0

I feel like I might be being a bit harsh in my rating... I mean, I really enjoyed it .. and it was a solid 3.5 for me but I feel like 4 stars might be misleading.
You see, this book wasn't really what I expected.. I don't really know what it is I expected... for some reason in my mind I thought it would be a bit more PG13, so the sex was a bit of a surprise.. though you saw it coming from a mile away. I was hoping to have a bit more of a 'wallowing-in-self-pity' stage after her break up with Bryson, I was also hoping to have more of a background story for her relationship with Bryson so as to feel her betrayal on a more personal level (never having been in a relationship or cheated on so far its hard to relate). But I don't want to sound too negative, I did enjoyed the romance between her and Nolan, and was dying for Nolan to fight Bryson.
I kinda feel like they're could've been a bit more character development considering the length of the book (not so short that needs to be rushed). And my only major negative is the amount of crying... I felt like reaching into the book and shaking some sense into Natalie, but then again with me never having experienced her situation I couldn't understand.
Overall and enjoyable read, maybe slightly too long for the plot, but worth it.
