Resisting Attraction

by Anneke Boshoff

Being a cop is all I ever wanted. Making the cut for a Special Taskforce is a dream come true. I love what I do, and we always get our man.

Except one.

The one who got away and has haunted us since.

But being a failure has never been an option. I drive myself to be the best and apply everything I have to every case my Taskforce gets. I play by the book.

Until she moves in next door. I don’t like her. I don’t trust her. I refuse to fall for any of the lies that drip from her pretty lips.

Love is not for me.

When my past resurfaces, I suddenly can’t deny my feelings for the pretty girl next door. I fell in love once, and it ended tragically. I lost everything. I can’t bear for that to happen again.

Only now, it might be too late.

Are you ready to read a spectacular police book? Then this is something for you. Meet the mc Asshole Axel, you will hate him into your bones but he will eventually redeem himself most amazingly.
Meet the fc Hailey , sweet and innocent being the perfect match for Axel.

Awesome start to a new Series, you get love, mystery and on your edge of your seat.
Resisting Attraction is book 1 in the Resisting Heart Series.
Hailey Stiles is having to start over, cause of her ex-boyfriend.
She’s Mr. Robertson assistant at his financial institution, and he’s letting her live in his house. Mr. Robertson know about her past, way she’s running.
Axel Hudson is part of the special task force in LAPD. Axel didn’t like his new neighbor as soon as he saw her (he didn’t like how she made him ). The task force is chasing a killer that targets first responders family. Neither Axel or Hailey want to fall in love again, but their chemistry…they can’t help not to.
Can’t wait for Resisting the Coach book 2 in Resisting Hearts Series.

I loved reading Resisting Attraction. I couldn't put it down. I liked it, kept me on the edge of my seat, and I kept wanting to know what was next. I liked the chemistry of Axile and Hailey. I thought the pacing was good, and I liked that it was action-packed. I thought the story was well-developed, and I look forward to reading book 2. I love reading first responder romance books, and I also love a bit of a murder mystery as well.
This is more suitable for 18+ readers, as there is some content that may not be suitable for all readers.

Blown away. So many questions to this story. It's amazing, of course.
Hailey left a mess back home to start over. Axel never wanted to love again. She moves in next door, he's a cop, she doesn't trust cops. So it a mess but then deaths start happening and they have to work together to stay safe. It hits home and his team are trying ti figure it out.
Be ready for a wild ride. Definitely will be rereading this one, probably more then once.
