“He abandoned you, Reese. He discarded and abandoned you, but you still love him. It’s clear all over your face.”

I flick my eyes away from his. “I can’t just snap my fingers and turn off my feelings,” I reply, unsure what else to say. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

His eyes soften. “There’s nothing wrong with you. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Can you consider giving us nicer guys a chance? I’ll wait until you’re ready. You’re worth it to me.”

-Resisting Ryann

3.5/5

So I read this book stand alone. I think that you need to read the 1st one before this book.

I was kind of confused at the beginning. I didn't really know what was going on. But after I started figuring out what was going on it was a good story. Reese and Ryan love each other but his life and past catch up. So Ryan feels he needs to do what he thinks to save reese by getting rid of his past.

He thinks he is helping them, but she feels he has violated her trust.

The thing is I see Reese's point. Men Always want to take charge. I think that this series needs to be read from start to finish to understand everything. I love Reese though. Se is one of my favorite female characters.
