Songs of Submission #6
Resist
The story of Jonathan Drazen and Monica Faulkner continues.
And it's time Monica stepped up to the plate.
I looked down at him, with his tourmaline eyes and copper hair and believed him despite my better judgment. Then I forgave him despite my misgivings. I loved him just because I did. My heart wasn’t sensible or guarded enough. Not by a sight.
I was a walking raw nerve ending of emotion, as if the years I’d spent away from men and sex had made me more emotional, more vulnerable, more foolish than before. I ran my fingers through his hair, feeling like the victim of a crime of consent.

About the author
C.D. Reiss
112 books9,643 followersCD Reiss is a New York Times bestselling author. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping a single cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

★★★★★! RESIST, part 6 of 7.5. The continuation of playboy & mogul Jonathan Drazen’s seduction of aspiring singer Monica Faulkner!
“I feel like no one’s ever loved me before.”
“I’m sure they did their best, but you always belonged to me.”
Songs of Submission is the whirlwind saga of aspiring singer Monica Faulkner and hotelier and real estate magnate Jonathan Drazen. Books/novellas should be read in order:
Book 1: Beg
Book 2: Tease
Book 3: Submit
Book 3.5: Jessica & Sharon
Book 4: Control
Book 5: Burn
Book 5.5: Rachel
Book 6: Resist
Book 7: Sing
Book 7.5: Monica
Book 8: Dominance
Book 9: Coda
Book 10: Breathe
In the previous books in the Songs of Submission series we have followed hotelier Jonathan Drazen and aspiring singer Monica Faulkner. And just as the titles would indicate it’s been a journey of self-discovery and self-exploration; Beg, Tease, Submit, Control, Burn…..
Monica has had to deal with her shortcomings in previous relationships, painful events surrounding family and friends, but most importantly discovering and coming to terms with her submissive tendencies. All while pursuing her singing career and trying to carve out her existence next to the larger-than- life Jonathan Drazen.
Jonathan has also been on a journey. We have followed and enjoyed his relentless seduction of Monica. But all along vindictive villains and circumstances has forced him to also delve in a deal with his painful past. Yet at this point he the story has only scratched the surface.
In Resist, book 6 more evil and negativity is coming to the surface while Jonathan both franticly and ruthlessly is trying to keep the truth from Monica. Prepare for pages upon pages of seduction, domination and everything that is sex with Jonathan. As a reader I was on the edge of my seat wondering if evil would finally succeed, and needing to know all his secrets…
Seven words to describe Jonathan Drazen: Captivating, enigmatic, private, relentless, frantic, determined and protective.
Seven words to describe Monica Faulkner: Focused, talented, loyal, interesting, endearing, witty and strong.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse…. I had to jump right to book 7, Sing for the continuation of their saga.
Spellbinding storytelling! Compelling characters! Scorching sex scenes! This series is going on my 6-star shelf!!!
“The truth is that I love you. The rest is unnecessary complication.”

*FULL, SPOILER FREE REVIEW (except direct quotes)
Are there the right words to describe my reaction to this latest instalment in the Songs of Submission series?.........
Are there words to describe the feelings that were stirred inside of me when devouring this highly erotic and highly addictive story?................
Are there words to describe how much of an urge I have to change my name to Monica, move to LA, and start drinking a lot more tea!!!!!!
Ok well to start with here are two words......
Oh and here are two more......
Okay time for the real words...
Every time I pick up a book by this author, it's just gets better and better. This is the sixth instalment in the series, and one of the best things about it, is that it's a full length novel as opposed to a novella, like the rest in the series. This means we get MORE JONATHAN......yey!!!!!!
So this is the part where we find out what the hell 'bitch face' ex; Jessica is up to and more importantly; WHY?.....
It's also the part where we finally get to see whats going on inside the mind ofMY Jonathan, as well as getting our fill of what's on his outside!!.....
Oh and It's the one where we see Monica in 'protect Jonathan' mode as she decides to fight for her man.....
And, not forgetting it's the one where yet again we get to see the amazing talent this author has in giving us flawless writing that is not only highly erotic but also highly engaging and damn right addictive.
Right from the very first explosive chapter we are thrown into Jonathan and Monica's world, a world of control and dominance, a world of pure sexual chemistry.
If you haven't read any of this series yet then I can honesty say that this is an outstanding, must read series especially to any lover of contemporary erotic romance. For me it is not only at the top of my all time favourite series list but the leading man Jonathan is my ultimate book boyfriend; my ultimate alpha.
But what's clever about this author, is her ability to provide the reader with balance, so it's not all just sex,sex,sex, without a story line. No we get erotic, descriptive sex but with an equally engaging and dramatic storyline. A storyline where at the heart of it is a beautifully written and cleverly developed love story. A love story between two equally flawed characters, characters who I defy anyone to not fall in love with. Characters who, no matter how destined they are to be together, must fight tooth and nail to protect their love.
A series I simply cannot and will not..... RESIST. ♥
*oh and one last thing, yes there a cliff hanger, in fact there is a 'omfg.you.can.not.do.this.to.me' humdinger of a cliff hanger, but hold your horses, before you all throw a tantrum, it's not too long to wait for the last book in series, (October???) and personally I thought the ending was absolutely freakin amazing and a necessity in keeping us all on the edges of our seats....lets just say....the book started with a BANG and it sure ended with one to!!!!

This series is amazing!
The last thing that happened in the previous book, “Burn”, was Jonathan being pulled away at the airport by the police. Bewildered Monica was also taken for questioning. Almost immediately we realise that Jessica has twisted things and she accuses Jonathan for behaving inappropriately – although she asked for it.
Monica wants to believe Jonathan. Jonathan does not want to explain. And he just wants to play.
So, they fight. And play. And fight. And play.
Monica wants to help Jonathan. Jonathan does not want to tell his secrets. He wants Monica as far away as possible from Jessica. And he wants to play.
So, they fight. And play. And fight. And play.
Favourite scene: Jonathan and Monica stop the traffic in the middle of the road fighting (of course)
“I don’t need protecting,” I yelled. A delivery truck missed me by inches as it tried to make the light. The wind shear thrust me forward a few inches.
“Goddess,” he said, pulling me to him for safety, “you are a shitload of trouble.”
“You sorry you wanted a commitment?” Cars whipped around us at the green, horns screaming again.
“No. You’ve turned my existence into a life.”
An SUV swerved, but we held our gaze. “I’m about to turn it into your death.”
As if daring L.A. drivers to hit a couple in the middle of the street on a Saturday night, he leaned over and kissed me. I kissed him back. It’s not every day you get to flip off a whole city.
Favourite quote: Jonathan may be an Alpha dominant male, but he can still be vulnerable and scared
I looked up at the broken skin of her chest, making eye contact as her lips whispered my name, and I prayed to whatever deity would listen to please, please not take her away.
There is a scary, confusing cliffhanger in the end of the book and apparently things will get worst before they get better in the next book.

5 Can't Resist Jonathan Stars!
"The truth is that I love you. The rest is unnecessary complication."
As always, things between Monica and Jonathan are HOT!! It seems that they have come so far in their relationship but Jonathan is still holding back the secrets of his past. If he tells her, he is afraid she is going to run away from him.....again. He can't stand the thought of ever being without her.
"It’s all I want. We are bound. I can’t be unfaithful to you any more than the sky can be unfaithful to the sea."
"I feel like no one’s ever loved me before."
"I’m sure they did their best, but you always belonged to me."

"God," he said, "I have to have you."
"Take me. Own me. Use me. Pick a verb. Just please."
"Fuck you. I'm going to fuck you. That's my verb."
This one leads us to the conclusion of this series. I liked it but halfway though I just thought it got a little bit repetitive. It dragged a bit. I still love Jonathan and Monica and the ending … Wow, what is going to happen next?"Was there anyone before you?"
"You might have thought so at the time."
"I feel like no one’s ever loved me before."
"I’m sure they did their best, but you always belonged to me."
I DIDN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER THAT
OK, Jonathan on a motorbike, major turn-on!!
Off to read the conclusion ….
July 8, 2016
"I am the owner and ruler of my mind.
I keep my own counsel. I decide how I feel.
I answer to no one."
"You're mine. No matter what happens.
Your pleasure and pain. Your skin. Your lips.
“His body, any part of it, is to give me pleasure and pain.”
With each book the writing and the story becomes more intense.... And the sexy, erotic, BDSM loveliness continues.... It's divine ♥
“May I come, Sir?” I asked in a breath.
Maybe,” he whispered.
Resist is a slightly slower paced episode...... I think it has to be....It brings different parts of the story together....
We learn more about Jonathan…. Glimpses of his past.. What made him spiral downwards, many years ago...….???
It's the informative episode, ready for the climax in Sing...
♥
Resist left me with a sick to the stomach feeling… nauseous!!
I have a heavy heart…..
And I loved every gorgeous, divine minute of it, TRUE ... But thank goodness I have Sing ready and waiting for me to devour....
“his tongue ignited the smoldering fire between my legs. I wrapped my legs around him, letting his mouth take mine."
Lovely..... If you haven't already... Go read this series!!! It's delicious!!
♥ BR with the some gorgeous ladies
Arc kindly given for an honest review, thank you ♥

*****
This was a great lead up to the conclusion of the Songs of Submission Series. Lots of questions were answered and other situations left open for the last part.
The "cliffy" was perfect. Little hints were given throughout the book that one would recognized after reading... which is the best; showing the writer's craft on always being in control without being obvious or trying to hard.
Authors take note... this is how you write a compelling, story driven, impactful character series. It is also a master class in how to take sexual interaction and keeping it real, raw and wanting.
I have already set my reminder for part 7 coming in October!!!!

I cannot handle the cliffhanger on this one!
I hate it when a main character tries to "protect" the person they love by deliberately pushing them away and breaking their heart. The emotional up and down between Monica and Jonathan is overwhelming. Factor in all the outside forces pushing them apart, and it seems nearly impossible for there to be a satisfactory outcome...

The sex,
The love,
The character dynamics,
The obstacles...
And the crazy OMG Ending...
I'm off to read Sing before I completely lose it!

Months ago, I’d been flying, my own buzz filling my ears, with a destination in mind but a path not mapped. I had a job and friends and hope. One night, I spilled a drink. I touched a man’s hand, and I let him kiss me on the hood of his car. Some time after, I don’t know when, I fell into a web of lies and deceit. The harder I struggled, the more trapped I became. But who was the spider? Was it Jonathan? Or Jessica? And how could I get out of their fucking web?The angst has me at a breaking point.

5 You will never be able to resist Jonathan stars
"Was there anyone before you?"
"You might have thought so at the time."
"I feel like no one’s ever loved me before."
"I’m sure they did their best, but you always belonged to me."
What can I tell you about a book that starts out with this:
FAIR WARNING Massive Cliffhanger at the end
I can tell you that that warning is not messing around! Holy mother of cliffhangers! I am barely holding my shit together here. The only thing saving me from going completely kaka for kuku puffs? I have book 7 all ready to go.
The story of Monica and Jonathan continues. With each new installment, I just fall more and more in love with this series. I love Monica's backbone and determination.
But what I love even more is the way she gives in and loves Jonathan.
Jonathan is perfection personified. The man is a king. There is no doubt about it. Everything that he says
Everything that he does
And don't even get me started on when he REALLY gets down to business.
Do you really need any more reasons? No? Didn't think so.
I devoured this book. Everything about it was perfection. With each new detail that comes to light, I just get even more addicted. I can't wait to see how it all ends. On a side note: Jessica
That is all.

"I'd wanted to fuck him as much as I wanted to resist."
"Your body won't deny what your mind fights."
"Being with you is all I can think about. It's all I want. We are bound.
"You have to trust me. I committed to you. That means something."
"You're mine. No matter what happens. Your pleasure and pain. Your skin. Your lips. Your cunt."
"You own me. I am yours. My king."
"You're not fucking my decision out of me."
He kept me immobile with his teeth, fingers, and tongue, licking and sucking until even the pleasure was pain, and tears streamed down my face. He picked up his face, kissing inside my thighs, my belly, licking the diamond navel ring that came to signify his ownership of me.
This was my expression at the end.....:(
OMG.....what the hell just happened???????????
heartbreaking starsBook 6 in the Songs of Submission series and what a nail biter it was. Seriously...that ending was brutal...but I can't get enough of Jonathan and Monica...now on to the final book....SING. Please be gentle....lol

OMFG! I'm losing my shit here! CD Reiss, you're a sadist!
I know, I know, you warned me about your mother of a cliffhanger but seriously? We are all masochists here! Will that stop us? That's why we read your stuff with bated breath, holding onto every word.....damn.
So, reading that last sentence? Um.....
CD Reiss..... Now,
Understand!? Now that I've got that off my chest......*deep breath for courage*
The continuing saga of Jonathan and Monica. Jonathan still has secrets...secrets he's doing his damnedest to keep from Monica, keeping her from bitch-troll ex-wife Jessica who will tell all.... But doesn't he understand she will do anything to protect him, forgive him anything? Can the two of them put all their cards on the table, get past it, shut out all the people on the outside who are hell bent on seeing them fail?
This is a prime example of the lyrical, almost poetic writing of this (sadistic) author......
One of the more comical quotes....I love Darren. Would love an MM spinoff with he and Adam! Hint hint.
Beautiful ......
Still primal as hell, comical at times, angsty as fuck, and now with a mother of all cliffhangers. I WILL get my HEA or I'll stalk you CD Reiss!
You know I love you and thank Jesus you sent me Sing.
Moving on......

Again, with the crazy ending in the last book, things are not in a good place. Monica finds out the reason and she is not a happy camper to say the least.
Monica's not one to stand around and I don't blame her...she deserves to get some answers! Obviously, Jonathan knows that and does everything in his power to thwart any plans Monica makes...and it's no easy task. Fortunately, Monica rises to the challenge.
And thank goodness she did. She was able to get some much needed information that helps out Jonathan.
Jonathan had to go out of town for a couple of days to deal with something from his past. Things don't turn out well and it seems like he's decided to fess up to a lot of things. Sadly, some of those things cause problems with him and Monica...again. But as usual, they can't stay away from each other for long and there's plenty of that same sexual intensity.
The book ends with them being at L.A. Mod, the art collector's board gala. There are some interesting exchanges but it ends up with the worse cliffhanger...ever!
♦ FYI, these stories are short and most have some type of cliffhanger. You will probably want the next one or two ready!

What can be said that hasn't already been said about just how brilliant this series is? I know a few of you haven't started reading this yet, you are seriously missing out. Not only is this a highly erotic series but it is beautifully written; with an amazing story that is still unfolding. For those interested in the series I have added the reading order to the bottom of the review. The supplemental stories may not be required reading, but after reading Resist, I would say that not reading these take away from the series. Now on to the story...
...simply
The story continues where Burn leaves off - Jonathan has been arrested at the airport and Monica has been pulled in for questioning. Two days have passed without the two of them seeing each other - two days of Monica wondering what is going on. And when she wants answers, Jonathan wants to play. And even though Monica tries to stand her ground, her body can't deny him. She has submitted to him and when his mouth can't sway her to change her mind he plans on using his body to drive the message home.
But when Jonathan tries to solve his problems his way, Monica is not willing to just follow instructions. She will submit her body to him but she can't stand back and not fight for him. I love that Monica is such a strong heroine, even when she gets knocked down she is able to pull herself up.
No one knows better how manipulative Jessica can be - Jonathan knows what she wants and knows how far she will go to get it. Jonathan is set to protect Monica at all costs from his past and his ex-wife. But Monica can't just let him go this alone.
And we not only do we get a few answers to some lingering questions (that have been driving us mad) we get a much longer installment. More of Jonathan. More of his perfect alpha-ness that demands that you drop to your knees and put your hands behind your back. More of the man that craves control and makes you lose it all in the same breath.
This is a powerful series that seems to get better and better with each book. There is just something about the way the words unfold to tell this story that catches your attention from the first page. It's like CD took all the annoying things about this genre of books and tossed them aside and then created the perfect storm of the need to dominate and submit.
Reading Order:
Beg
Tease
Submit
Jessica and Sharon
Control
Burn

So excited to have my ARC! I will be spending my Sunday with Jonathan.

I was warned about a MASSIVE cliffy but it really was shocking. The only redemption was I had the next book that was immediately opened and devoured. But that's the next review....so back to Resist.
Right then, I wanted to fuck him as much as I wanted to RESIST. I'd longed for him for two days, hovering somewhere between rage and panic. (I love how CD incorporates the titles of her books in the first chapter somewhere)
Monica
Jonathan
Can you Trust enough so that you don't Resist? Jonathan and his secret and not wanting to expose Monica to what he considers a deal breaker. What he hasn't really figured out is that Monica is truly his and no matter what happened in his past, she is in, she is all in. She'll do whatever to keep Jonathan safe. The love story builds and it is absolutely beautiful!! I don't know but CD Reiss manages to make every book highly erotic and wickedly wonderful. She is just a genius with words.
But Jonathan doesn't believe that Monica can resist once she knows his truths, so he does what he thinks is best for her and leaves. But Monica knows what he is doing, but she knows that with time, he will return. She just has to do as he did to her, be ready when he DOES. She let's him know in a song, in the form of a text, that she will be waiting....
Can their love survive being apart or does it just make it stronger? It's a hold that can't be explained, a pull so strong that nothing can stand in its way. It's breathtaking to read.
Then came the ending, which I didn't see AT ALL.....
BR with my Beautiful Besties.....the rest of the pack blew us away and finished up way before us :-)

This one starts with a bang with Jonathan’s arrest. He’s of course as cavalier as if he’s going for a drive while Monica loses her shit. Jonathan’s choice to teach Jessica a lesson comes back to haunt him like Casper and and every ghost from ghostbusters combined.
Mostly this part is the tale of Monica trying to make contact with Jessica and Jonathan doing everything from vandalism to stalking. But that guy has no fucks and I kinda love it.
Of course they broke up again but it’s like a broken record, it’ll come back together in no time.
In between all the drama we finally get the truth out of Jonathan about his past. Plus stuff he never considered.
This one not only started with a bang, it ended with an even bigger one.

I know I've been doing really short reviews for this series but I didn't want to give anything away since these are novellas.
This book however I am going to say a few things....
1) Jonathan is still fuckalicious
2) HOW the HELL can Monica take so much fucking ? Seriously it's really really not normal. Surely she's bound to get some sort of infection with so many fingers up her cake or Jonathan's mouth or his fingers in her ass then her cake!!
I feel like saying: " woman when you cannot walk that pain is NOT delicious as you say"
3) Jonathan and Monica's cat and mouse game from novella 1-6 is exhausting!
4) All these billionaires seem to have dark pasts
5) The showering her with gifts is so "Christian Grey"
It's not that I don't like this series it's just that I feel I've heard it all before
One thing is for sure... These books end with a major cliffy that you HAVE to read the next one!

Just when I thought there was no way C.D. Reiss could make this series any better than it already is; she blows me out of the water with "Resist." This is book #6 in the sexy series, "Songs of Submission."
Jonathon and Monica turn up the heat more than a few notches with their explosive and primal sexual encounters. Jonathon becomes even more dominant and possessive of his Goddess, and he shows her more than a few times who she belongs too. I loved every minute of it!! It is not for the faint of heart; but it is hotter than hot, and I honestly don't think the sex in this book will ever be topped by any other book around!
"This mouth is mine," he said. "It doesn't talk unless I tell it to." The taste of my sex filled my mouth as he drove his fingers down my throat. I sucked them clean to please him, to please myself. The sensations caused by his forcefulness were overpowering..."
"I'm going to f**k you, and you're going to shut the hell up for the fu**ing duration." He drove into me without an ounce of warning. He f**ked me as if he owned me, my body bent, powerless, exposed."
These are some of my favorite parts in the book, and believe me the quotes in this review are quite tame compared to what is between the pages of this steamy story!
On top of lots of raw, gritty sex; there is quite a story unfolding as well. We are finding out more and more about Jonathon's mysterious past and some of the reveals are pretty shocking! Of course, Ms. Reiss is teasing us with just a snippet of information about his past; but there is still so much to learn. There is only one more book to go in the series (which makes me really sad) and I am sure the final book is going to be amazing! There is still so much to learn, and I cross my fingers that Jonathon and Monica get the HEA that they both deserve! They are one of those couples that I will never forget, and I will certainly miss them when this journey is over.
This is a series that I highly recommend to erotica lovers everywhere. Truly, you are missing out if you haven't taken advantage of reading it yet. Even better is the fact that all of the books have now been published. There is no risk of running into a cliffhanger and having to wait six months before the next one comes out! So if this is still on your ever growing TBR pile, bump it up; you won't be sorry!

“God,' he said, 'I have to have you.'
'Take me. Own me. Use me.
Pick a verb. Just please.'
'Fuck you. I'm going to fuck you.
That's my verb.”
Dear Ms. Reiss, are you trying to KILL ME with that ending?!

More off the charts sexual encounters.
More ex wife drama.
More trying to break up and getting back together.
More secrets revealed.
Just more of really everything that's lead up to this point.
I wasn't sure where Monica was going with trying to talk to Jessica and I was with Jonathan and that I didn't think it was a good idea but I gotta say that I thought it was pretty clever of her to grab that phone and get that recording.
And yes even though, Jonathan did try to protect Monica from himself, they just can't stay away from each other. And it was Monica this time that waited him out. I'm liking the feeling that they are on more a solid ground and understand each other's motivations and actions more.
"You sorry you wanted a commitment?"
"No. You've turned my existence into a life."
"Hurt me. Ruin me. Destroy me, Jonathan."

This series really is a bit like literary heroin for me – I’m not sure it’s entirely good for me, I worry for these characters constantly as CD Reiss piles on the agony, but I am like an addict looking for her next fix. I HAVE to know what’s coming next and, oh boy, do we get left with a mother of a cliffhanger at the end of this one. I need Book 7 STAT and it hasn’t event got a name yet. Sure hope you’re writing real fast Ms Reiss!!
We pick up in the aftermath of the events of the last few pages of Burn – nothing is ever going to be easy for these two. Little seeds of doubt are laying down thick roots in Monica’s brain as she wonders whether Jonathan is telling her the whole truth. How much of Jessica’s story is real and how much has she been deceived? There’s a lot of baring of souls in this one as we finally get to hear what happened to Rachel and understand the guilt that Jonathan carries around and finally, fully understand him, just the way he is and Monica will go to extreme lengths to protect the man she loves whole-heartedly.
I feel like, at long last, we finally got to know Jonathan 100% and see far beyond the sadist dominant exterior to the man beneath – the man who will show great nobility in his attempt to protect Monica from his perceived darker side and will break her heart in the process. Monica proves that she has cojones of steel and will do just about anything to protect her man. These two deserve their happiness but there are so many obstacles to overcome and then SOMETHING VERY BAD happens right at the end to leave you panting and salivating for book 7!
It’s still as sexy as hell as the all out sadist in Jonathan is once again unleashed and Monica thrives under his dominion over her – there’s some real HAWT and sexy scenes, as we’ve really come to expect from CD Reiss.
Funniest line of the whole book………….

He shifted closer to me and spoke in a whisper. “I’m taking you home, and I’m going to tie your wrists to the banister. I’m going to blindfold you, then I’m going to undress you slowly. I’m putting my lips all over you until you beg me to take you, which I may or may not do.”
“Jonthan,” I whispered, his name a white flag of surrender.

My name is Monica. I stand six feet tall in heels. I am descended from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. I can sing like an angel, and growl like a lion. I am music. I am a goddess

Jessica causes havoc in this installment.
Setting Jonathan up in order to to get her bank account filled with his money again.
Finally in the last book he confesses his true feelings for Monica and we're almost about to float away on cloud nine, but then Jonathan gets arrested!!!! Thanks Jessica...you bitch!!! LOL
We still get some pretty hot, panty melting sex in this one and the Jonathan we have all come to love.
"You matter. We matter. I haven't touched another woman since I had you at the Loft Club. Monica, it's you. Being with you is all I can think about. It's all I want. We are bound. I can't be unfaithful to you any more than the sky can be unfaithful to the sea." - Jonathan
Then he goes and does something to irritate me!!!
These two with their yo-yoing around was starting to get on my last nerve!!
I loved when Darren told them both off!!
The story of Rachel is slowly starting to surface and Jonathan is fearful that this will drive her away which is why I was pissed with his actions in this one. He seemed so contradictory.
"Yes, Jonathan, yes. We'll be over. I love you. I love your past, no matter what it was. I love your present, and I want to be your future. But lying will break us. One day you'll wake up and realize I don't really know you, and it'll be too late to bring me close. That'll be it, whether you leave me or not. We'll be over." - Monica
Luckily this shit doesn't last too long and he gets his act together.
But these two can never have more than a few moments of happiness!!!
This one ends on a huge cliffy but fortunately for me, I waited to read this series when all books were out, so on to Sing!!!!

So the story of Jonathan and Monica continues. Resist picks up where we left off. We know exactly what Jonathan was arrested for, who pressed the charges and what proof that Bitch had. The question of why is still open for discussion. So begins this cat and mouse chase between Monica and Jessica. Jessica wants to meet with Monica to share what she knows (AKA shock Monica and get more ammunition against Jonathan) and Monica of course wants to, she thinks she can help Jonathan by meeting with Jessica to figure out her motives...AKA the why and also find out what exactly happened. She wants to believe Jonathan didn't sleep with Jessica but isn't 100% convinced. Monica knows Jonathan isn't an abuser, but kinky and controlling in bed, well yes he is that. Lets face it Jonathan isn't always forthcoming or completely honest at times; "My lies are all white" ...... "I'm not lying about Jessica or about anything that matters"
".. But Jonathan doesn't want Monica near Jessica, for one she knows ALL Jonathan's "secrets" and she has a way of manipulating with "half truths. So Jonathan preoccupies Monica, and preoccupies her he does. The sex is hot and yes mind altering. "You're not fucking my decision out of me.". But, after some maneuvering and sneaky acts Monica finally meets with Jessica. At this meeting Monica has a light bulb moment. She sees Jessica's game and she realized she does trust Jonathan. "I shouldn't have told you when you were working. That was the joke. It wasn't funny, but I don't lie. Jonathan does. You know that right! You know he lies!". So after Monica gets what she thinks will be helpful she leaves. Upon arriving back she finds Jonathan waiting and to say he's happy is an understatement. So after some discussion and Jonathan reveals the "truth" about Rachel Jonathan leaves Monica cause he doesn't want to "ruin" another woman's life.....you have to be kidding me!!!
So after some avoidance and some childish, jealous behavior Darren has some words of wisdom for the duo; " I've had it with the two of you. I am sick and tired of the whining from you (Monica) and the psychotic behavior from you (Jonathan). Stop acting like a dick and throwing money at her. Stop breaking up. Just stop. The next time I hear you two broke up, I'm sending out wedding invitations!". They both know they can't RESIST each other so they reconnect. They reconnect alright and have some "tea for two", seriously that scene is fucking hot and it may have turned me into a tea drinker. They go to the event and things are weird. People are whispering about Jessica cause well the real "evidence" got leaked to YouTube. Monica runs into daddy dearest, but didn't know it and Jonathan disappeared for quite a while. Well when Monica finally finds Jonathan he doesn't seem well, and everything happens so fast and well FUCK!!!!! Yes!! FUCK!! That's what you'll be saying at the end........WTF just happened and what does it mean???!!!!!
I want to thank the author, CDR, for providing me with an ARC!!!'

I BOUGHT THE BOOK, INHALED IT AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF READING IT!!
Before I start my review, I will let Mr Jonathan Drazen himself describe what Resist and Mr Drazen did to me while I was reading :
This series has easily become one of my favorite. I’m completely hooked, love the interaction between the two main characters, their chemistry, banter and sizzling sex scenes!!
In Resist, book 6 and second last book of the series, we finally see Jonathan bared and open, we know everything there is to know. Enjoyed how Monica tries to protect her man, see her little insecurities and normal human reactions but how quickly she overcomes those insecurities. She is one strong heroine, completely love her, love her strength and how she doesn’t come across as whiny and annoying!
“My name is Monica. I sing like an angel and roar like a lion. I am the owner and ruler of my mind. I keep my own counsel. I decide how I feel. I answer to no one.”
Jonathan was an ass and yet I loved him utterly! The lengths he’ll go to protect Monica and his love for her, as well as his need to keep her in his life are so heartwarming! I LOVE YOU JONATHAN!
Unfortunately these two cannot catch a break, and boy does this book end in a cliffhanger that has you cursing like a sailor! October and the last book cannot come soon enough! HAVING SAID THAT, I WOULD BE SO SAD TO SEE THE END!!.... EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS SERIES, TRULY A PLEASURE !
WELL DONE MS REISS!

She is one strong heroine, completely love her, love her strength and how she doesn’t come across as whiny and annoying!
“My name is Monica. I sing like an angel and roar like a lion. I am the owner and ruler of my mind. I keep my own counsel. I decide how I feel. I answer to no one.”
Jonathan was an ass and yet I loved him utterly! The lengths he’ll go to protect Monica and his love for her, as well as his need to keep her in his life are so heartwarming! I LOVE YOU JONATHAN!
Unfortunately these two cannot catch a break, and boy does this book end in a cliffhanger that has you cursing like a sailor! October and the last book cannot come soon enough! HAVING SAID THAT, I WOULD BE SO SAD TO SEE THE END!!.... EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS SERIES, TRULY A PLEASURE !
WELL DONE MS REISS!

*****5 WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? STARS*****
This is the 6th book in the novella series Songs of Submission
Oh no - Oh no - Oh no.....NO FREAKING WAY!!! Don't leave me hanging like this.....
This is the book where we finally learn EVERYTHING about Jonathan - about his past - about his lies and cover-ups and you know what????.......Jonathan freakin' rocks!!
He doesn't think he deserves Monica and blames himself for so much that has happened and believes that every woman he ever cared about was destroyed, but that doesn't stop Monica from standing by his side (even while little seeds of doubt continue to rear their ugly heads).
More and more obstacles invade Monica's and Jonathan's relationship including Rachel and Jessica. Jessica will stop at nothing to destroy Jonathan and Monica will stop at nothing to bring the bitch DOWN!!
This series is compelling, emotionally draining, and swoon worthy along with some of the best sex scenes EVER!!
OK....on to the last book in the series - "Sing"

Couldn't decide between 2-3. Both of them just really got on my nerves throughout this one. Only good thing is the shit hitting the fan for Jessica
