ARC received for an honest review4.5 stars

It has been a while since we have spent some time with the boys of Wild Nights revue - but what a way to jump back in.

I have been waiting for Lucas aka Dimps story since I read the first books. And it was well worth every second of the wait.

Lucas and the boss lady Helena's story was so much fun. It is full of sexiness and suspense and so much sexual tension, you can cut it with a knife. I mean gees, those proximity pheromones leap off the pages!

I loved that this is an older woman/younger man story. We get so many the other way around, or the woman is made out to be a pervy cougar, yet it is not this way with Helena and Dimps.

I love the way the Dimps makes Helena feel. As her story unfolds, you can understand why she resists him for so long, and I love how he keeps trying with her. They have thei stru Sigh... I mean I wish he was all over me like a rash like he is with Helena, but I guess we can't all be that lucky!

It was great being back on the road with the boys - and of course Cori (and her obsession with seeing the "big things" - I may have planned holidays around seeing "big things" in the day - no, NOT those kind of big things lol).

I thoroughly enjoyed Resist, and I know you won't be able to resist it either.

I can't wait to see what Ms Golland brings us next.

What can I say but OMG this is an amazing read!!!

From the minute I started this story, I was completely hooked. Resist is the 3rd book in the series and for me the best one yet, the whole storyline is brilliant and I absolutely LOVED the characters so much.

Each book in the series is a stand alone story and can be read by itself, so don’t feel you need to read the other two books, but for my opinion I would definitely do it!

Lucas and Helena are undoubtedly brilliant to read, I loved how they meet, get together their whole relationship TBH. The storyline had me laughing at parts, and definitely smiling big as well.

This is such an amazing story and I’m so happy I was able to read it....hands down a brilliant 5 ⭐️ read and one I think everyone needs to read, you definitely won’t be disappointed!

I can't tell you how much I looooved this book. 💚 Resist has become my FAVORITE out of the Wild Nights Series. It was definitely the hottest one!! 🔥 The chemistry between Helena and Lucas was so SCORCHING you may need a fan nearby. The forbidden romance factor certainly added to the heat. The banter between all the characters constantly had me amused. KM outdid herself with this one!!!

I will be honest and admit that I read Revue, the first book in the Wild Nights series, a couple of years ago but to date I have yet to read Reveal.... that will soon change I can tell you! I was offered the opportunity to read an arc of Resist and I am so pleased I took it. The series is made up of standalone stories so if you haven't read the previous books in the series, I don't feel that your enjoyment of this one will be spoiled. In fact I don't think there is one page that you will not enjoy.... I just couldn't put my kindle down.

From the very first page I was hooked. The author's introduction of the main characters in the book was brilliant. We meet Lucas and Helena in the prologue and I instantly knew I wanted learn more about them. I thought they were amazing individuals and I loved their connection. They had issues to get through and I was intrigued to see how they would overcome them. This story has twists and turns which I always approve of.

I love the Wild Nights men. Not only do I want to be in their audience watching their performance but I'd also love to just hang out with them. They made me laugh often and I loved their antics and the bond they share.

I laughed as I have already mentioned. There was lots of heat on the stage and out of the auditorium also. I loved the angsty scenes and the swoon worthy parts too. A fabulous read that I would totally recommend.

This new book in the Wild Nights series is exactly what I have been waiting for. I loved coming back to the revue and Lucas and Helena’s story is full of laughter, swoon worthy characters and enough steam and mystery to keep you guessing as to what is happening next. I really loved how Dimps refused to let Helena get caught up in her own head. He made sure she knew what he wanting and boy did he get it. I definitely recommend this book, especially if you are looking for some smoking hot men and an awesome storyline!

This story starts with Helena being the new owner of Wild Nights, the traveling male revue show and she is determined to take her life back after a horrible marriage. She is ready to show them how to make the show just a bit better, but she was not expecting the youngest member of the show to take an instant liking to her.

Lucas is used to women throwing themselves and is not used to chasing them but his new boss makes him want to chase her all over . But she is scared and he wants to know why.

When her past reappears and forces them to join together they have to decide to stop running or run forever!

I simply adore KM Golland's stories, they always hit their mark with my emotions, make me fall in love and make me laugh my head off and this book has all of the above. The words are so beautifully written that I couldn't help but be captivated.

Lucas is just super sexy, super sweet and makes my heart do strange things, I want to be his Helena.

Helena is such a fabulous woman, she's certainly been through a lot and has come out the other side such a strong, confident woman. I adore her!

This story brought me to tears and had me completely wrapped up in their lives. I was lead through all the moments of pure lust and almost brought to my knees in fear.

KM Golland is such a talented author.

What a blast to reconnect with the Wild Nights crew! There’s a new boss in town this time and she means business!! Helena takes over the revue hoping for a new start at life. She first meets Lucas in a very compromising position and it all goes UP from there..wink wink! Loved watching these two struggle with their situation. Lucas really rose to the occasion to show Helena he’s more than just a boy toy but a real man worth her love and affection. She really let go of her past in order to trust him with her life. They go on quite a few fun adventures along the way as the crew finishes out their tour. Of course what adventure is complete without a “little” drama?! What a great way to pick up where books 1 and 2 left off. It definitely didn’t disappoint!

I loved this story. I couldn’t put it down. This is the third book in this series. I love this crew. They are funny, charming and entertaining. How can they not be....a bunch of hunks taking their clothes off to make women squirm.

Meet Lucas, the newest member. His charm and sexiness will have you want him busy as much as Helena does. But there is only one problem......she is his boss and he is half her age. But only for so long can she withstand his advances. Before long she finds herself liking him more than she ever thought possible........

A fun, sexy and entertaining story. KM’s style always makes me smile. Her humour is like no other. Loved it from beginning to end. A definite recommend.

Taking us on a journey of strength and courage with Helena.. teaching us that everyone deserves a second chance at love no matter the boundaries.
As always i found the characters relatable in one way or another and i l9ve hearing about our great australian destinations.. There's love, mischief and of course giggles along the way.
All in all a great read ... highly recommended

Dimps is my new book boyfriend. K M Golland has given us another five star read.

Full of humor, sexy scenes and a man above all others. Dimps has the looks, body and spirit of a man who has lived with women all of his life.

This take no prisoners read Helena and Dimps steam up the sheets and with all good reads, twists and turns send you reeling in a new direction.

Probably think you need to read the other books in the series to get the best out of the book as a lot of the past characters appear in critical scenes.

Loved it loved it loved it.

This was a really good, fun read. For me, it is the best of the Wild Nights series so far. This story will leave you wishing you were in that theatre watching the Wild Nights boys!!

The characters are great. I loved Lucas, he is the youngest of the Wild Nights boys but so lovely. He is full of personality, with great humour, warmth and magic! He is of course, sexy as hell and his moves leave little to the imagination.

Helena is the new boss of the revue, tough, and ballsy and determined to make her mark on the group. However, despite coming across as a woman in charge, she has her insecurities and fears.

Resist is book three in the Wild Nights series, but can easily be read as a standalone; though once you have read one you will want to read them all and meet the rest of the boys in the Wild NIghts Revue!! This one is definitely worth a read, hot, sexy, fun and tender...what more can you ask for in a story.

"Age is just a number" - Just ask Lucas

I loved the first two books in the Wild Nights series, and Resist was no different. I will even go as far to say that Resist is my favourite. I found it extremely hard to put down - in fact i don't think I did! Kelly did such a terrific job of writing a story about an older woman and a younger man, she was sensitive to the emotions of both.

Lucas "Dimps" Malone is the baby of the Revue team. Totally sexy, funny, protective and has the ability to "make magic". This man would capture any woman's heart, but there was only heart that he wanted and he would do anything to have it. Helena Smerdon is the new lady boss/owner of Wild Nights Revue. She's finally escaped years of being in a destructive marriage and is determined to live her own life. What she wasn't expecting though was an attraction to the youngest member.

The Prologue set the stage for Lucas's and Helena's story. It was saucy and very forbidden - I loved it. Lucas's reaction to Helena is simply adorable, watching him chase her was so sweet. He didn't care about the age gap ...

"Age is just a number."

Helena was smitten with Lucas too, although she tried to fight her attraction to him. The difference in their age and her past made her very hesitant to act upon her feelings. The cat and mouse game that they played was superb. But when her past catches up with her, that when true feelings really come to fruition.

Kelly gives her readers heat both off and on the stage with such ease. Her vivid descriptions of Lucas's routines were .... WOW!!!! There definitely was a lot of seat squirming, fanning and wiping of the brow. It was great catching up with Josh, Cori, Matt, Brad and Noah (oh I so want him to have his own book) - references to the two earlier books did always get a giggle out of me. I love the antics, humour and Kelly's wonderful words. Definitely a book that I would recommend be read.

OK, hands up, I haven't read the first two books in this series, they have been sat on my Kindle for ages but just haven't got round to reading them - but when this came up to read, and said it can be read as a standalone, I just couldn't miss the opportunity - OMG what an absolute blast this book was!!! I couldn't get enough, hooked within minutes and drooling within the first few pages, what a way to start a book that was!!!

An older woman / younger man style read, which we don't see many of, and certainly not done this well, where the characters come across so fantastically well, Helena being the new owner of the Wild Nights male strip revue and Lucas being the newest member of the team - young, hot, fresh, ambitious and wanting to make his mark within the team. What they didn't account for is their strong attraction and intense chemistry for each other, but she's his boss and he's not much older than her son!!

I absolutely loved this story, I was walking round with a permanent smile whilst reading this - such an immersive storyline, I totally connected with the characters, especially Helena and what she had been through and what she didn't want to go through again!

Lucas is such a sweetheart, he knows what he wants and sets about winning Helena over - I love how he treats her and slowly brings down her walls. Helena is such a professional and wants to help the boys be the best they can be - she has been in a bad marriage and has stayed away from relationships since, but she just cannot help how she feels when Lucas is around her!!

The dance routines are awesome and there are some mega hot and steamy goings on in there let me tell you!!

Seriously I can't believe I haven't read the other two previous books, but you can certainly read this as a standalone, based on this it won't be long before I'm reading the other two books! It really was a fantastic read - hot, sexy, funny, romantic with just the right amount of drama - I love Kelly's books and how easy I find it to connect to her characters, this one has a storyline you can just get lost in, superb!!

Wild nights for sure!!

Each of the Wild Nights books were great. I loved following the Revue around and getting to know each of the characters. Lucas and Helena were no different except they were an unlikely couple I thought. They have such a huge age difference, Helena’s son Jason only being a few years younger than Lucas but once Helena let her guard down and went with her heart, let’s face it, lust, everything went as it should for a brand new couple.

What a piece of shot her ex-husband was! I wish Lucas woulda gotten a few more punches to his face and nose, I can rest assured that karma will come around once his sorry ass gets to jail.

Love Helena and Lucas together. Loved Helena for the Revue. Great book. Great series. Highly recommend.

Favorite moments and/or quotes from the book:


I’ve always said that if they let go so easily, they were never worthy of holding you in the first place.”

“Age is just a number, Helena. A mathematical equation of how long you’ve been on earth each time it orbits the sun. That’s it. Age doesn’t distinguish who we can love, hate, fuck or marry. It’s just a number.”

“Yeah, well … I didn’t let him go because he hurt me. I let him go because I was hurting myself by staying with him, and when you put yourself last, you lose. Simple as that.”

Every time you’re hurt by someone you love you learn to love a little less. And that isn’t a bad thing. It just means you save that love for yourself. I’d saved much love for myself over the years, and I’d continue to do so. Because it was self-love that got us through the darkest and saddest moments of our life. It was self-love that helped us survive.

It’s a funny thing, love. It knows no age, no scepticism, no judgement nor right or wrong. Love is honesty in its purest form. It looks beyond flaws and lies and says, ‘I’ll love you anyway’, and it cannot be forced, coerced, mimicked, or resisted.

Lucas and Helena’s story is one that I have been waiting for, so I was delighted to be back with the Wild Nights series.
I found the story really enjoyable, it had a little bit of everything, a smidge of humour, a touch of mystery and a whole bucketload of romance and for me, I think the author got the ratio just right. I found it was compulsive almost as I tripped from page to page looking for what was to come next and finding that no matter what I thought I was for the most part way off the mark.
Helena might have been the new owner of the Wild Nights show but her position was not one that Lucas was particularly willing to pay much heed of, because he was sure from almost the first minute he clapped eyes on her that she was the one he was not just after but was going to get, he was relentless in his pursuit of not just her but also he search for what was eating away at her…her past was far from perfect!
I liked Lucas, he was smoking hot yes but that wasn’t all that he had going for him he was a good guy and when her past threatens to create issues for them both he was more than willing to face them by her side.
An enjoyable return to the Wild Nights …thoroughly enjoyable.

KM Golland has delivered yet another amazingly witty and beautifully written romance.

I had to be honest, after starting this book, I wasn't sure I would be a fan but how could I ever doubt KM? She hooked me about 25% in and I ended up loving the characters regardless of their unconventional relationship.

Resist is Lucas Malone's story from Wild Nights Revue. He's the baby of the group but doesn't let that stop him from going after what he wants.

Helena is the new owner of Wild Night Revue and is out to prove herself to the men of Wild Nights. After a very rocky past, she's finally found something she truly loves. She's also found herself eyeing Lucas with more than a little bit of interest. She knows he's off-limits, but her body is saying something completely different.

I loved all the characters in Resist with all of the guys in Wild Nights making their own appearance and adding quite a bit of humour to the entire book. Helena's inner thoughts are the ones that will crack you up.

KM's writing style is witty and will leave you with a BIG smile on your face.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series and can't wait to see what comes next!

This is book 3 in the Wild Nights Series, but this book can certainly be read as a standalone. I have read other KM Golland books which I’ve absolutely loved…. This book certainly didn’t disappoint, In my opinion this series is getting better and better with each book. Helena Smerdon, purchases Wild Night’s Review and decides it’s time to shake up the review and make her a more wealthy women than she already is. She wants the review to be the best…. Lucas Malone, known as Dimps, is the baby of the group and wants to succeed. As soon as he spots Helena he’s instantly smitten. What I loved about this book is that Lucas is only a couple of years older than Helena’s son…. Helena tries to warn him off, but he is extremely persistent, will she be able to resist him? The is a few little twists and turns that you don’t see coming. Ms Gollands sense of humour shines through. This was another fantastic read and one I’d highly recommend.

Hot sexy and oh so sweet!
Perfect description of this book and our hero Lucas. He made my heart melt watching him fall and be so gentle with her. Sweet, strong but broken Helena.
They were forbidden on many levels and that made me want them together.
She is boss! Then there is the age difference.
The age difference made me love this book it's not one I have read much. The older woman! The hot sexy young guy who lusted after and fought to win the her. A woman over 40! She fought it, held him ofg for a bit. I ate it up and being in my forties I cheered her and wanted her to just let go accept it.
And when she did OMG! the story got HOT! They set my Kindle on fire!
Another thing I loved was seeing my favorite Revue a$$hole Josh being his crazy self and making me laugh.
Great series! I hope the rest of the boys get books

It’s been a couple years since I last read the boys from the Wild Nights Revue and Resist is the perfect welcome back. Lucas “Dimps” Malone is totally smitten with new Wild Nights owner Helena Smerdon and fortunately for him, she is smitten with him as well. No matter how hard she tries to resist him. I loved the older woman/younger man and these two burn up the sheets. I absolutely adored Lucas and how no matter how hard she tried him away, he never gave up on them and what they could be. I didn’t realize how much I missed the guys from Wild Nights until diving back in with Resist. It’s steamy and a little suspenseful with Helena’s dark past, as well as had me laughing out loud in so many places. I missed all of Josh’s innuendos lol. Overall, I really enjoyed Resist and will definitely be revisiting Revue and Reveal.

Took over a year of waiting for this book to arrive at the library and reading it was so good it was worth the wait. KM Golland brought the characters back with a new boss a 46 year old divorcee Helena who wants to the Wild Night Revue to do well but there is one small problem Lucas (Dimps) Malone who is 2 years older than her son and he has her feeling things she shouldn't for the much younger man.
Lucas is the youngest member of the Wild Nights Revue he sees as age as no barrier and keeps persuing her to where they fall for each other. KM Golland write with brass, sexiness of her characters that I found myself reading it over night cause this book was not just about the Wild Night Revue but also the personal issues around the characters. Anyone who likes KM Golland's books you should read this one.

This is the third book in the Wild Nights Series and it can be read as a standalone but seriously why would you not want to read the previous two books????

This is Lucas and Helena's story and I will admit this is my favourite. It was filled with so much red hot chemistry and sexual tension I'm surprised my kindle didn't go up in flames. It made a nice change having this as an older woman/younger man tale.

KM Golland has outdone herself with this one. I always like her style of writing but this one is seriously my favourite. She made me laugh, made me swoon, and made me all hot and bothered.

Lucas and Helena

I will start this review off by saying “older woman/younger man” is one of my least favorite tropes. I’m almost 40 myself and the idea of dating a 20 year holds no appeal. With that being said I bought this for one reason, the author. Kelly Golland is such a beautifully talented writer. I was not disappointed. Helena was a strong experienced woman who had lived a lot of life and knew exactly where she was going and what she wanted. Lucas was young but mature, respectful, and oh so charming. And I think we were all picturing his adorable dimples pop as he smiled at his woman.

I wasn’t a fan of the first two books on this series but I highly recommend this one! It was fun, sexy, and truly gave you belief in love of all kinds.

OH. MY. GOD. YES!! This book was my EVERYTHING!!

When I heard that K.M. Golland was writing another book in the Wild Nights series, I seriously died and went to heaven. I've loved every book in this series so far and just couldn't wait to get my hot little hands on this bad boy.
And of course, Golland didn't disappoint me one bit! From the first few words you're drawn in to a hot, sexy, panty melting scene. Definitely a brilliant start to a brilliant story. I hung on every word and devoured this book.

Josh has always been my main Wild Nights bloke, but now, things have changed. Newbie Lucas has stolen this woman's heart and she regrets nothing....lol.
I adore Helena, she's a beautiful, courageous character. She's one I won't forget in a hurry, she sure does make an impression.

Amazing characters, an addictive storyline, hot, sexy, panty melting scenes. This book is a keeper and if this genre is what you enjoy, then I highly recommend getting all the books in this series. You're in for one wild ride! ;-)

This was a fun and erotic novel. A little too short for my liking, but entertaining enough to say the least. Who doesn’t love a stripper love story? I’m one to love an older woman/younger man love story, but this just seemed too far-fetched for even me. I liked Lucas and Helena. But, I don’t know if they fit together. Just my opinion. But, read it for yourself and see. All the other guys with their women were included. And, Josh is still so freakin’ funny. I did love the bungee jumping scene, however! Now I have to read book two of the series...

Resist is the third book in Wild Nights Series and In My Opinion the best book. I was Hooked from the Beginning and It was Hard to Resist this beautiful story.

All the Books in this Series Can be read as Standalone and each one of them are amazing reads. You will enjoy it thoroughly once you pick it up. I would like to recommend this series to all readers.

Age is just a number! What a great way to have these characters develop and fall in love.

Helena is the new owner of the Revue and Lucas is the youngest member but that doesn't matter when you are falling in love with each other.

Kelly has written another great book in this series and hope that she has a few more coming.
