The
Redemption is a standalone novel. The Resistance is a standalone novel, but the
two books share characters and background.

I fell in love with S.L. Scott’s From the Inside Out
series so I knew that I had to try The Resistance. After reading The Resistance
I was so excited to see that Rochelle gets her own book. She went through so
much heartache in the previous book. I wanted her to get a second chance at a
happy ending. Then I found out who her knight in not so shining armor was going
to be and I was sold.
Rochelle has been through a horrible tragedy.
While giving birth to her newborn Cory was in a plane accident. There were no
survivors. Now she has to figure out how to grieve and be both the mother and
father to her two children. The majority of this book takes place almost three
years after the funeral. Rochelle is lonely and now she is wondering if dating
is too soon or is it possible to start thinking about it. Then the unexpected
happens. She starts to get feeling for the one person she probably shouldn’t.
Dex. The bad boy of The Resistance.
This book was really
emotional for Rochelle. She has to try and fight emotions that she has for
another man because she still feels guilt over Cory. She is a great mother and
an overall strong character. She is caring and talented. I was a little
disappointed she kept throwing Dex’s past in his face when he was trying his
hardest to change. I get she was trying to get through a bad time but my heart
broke for Dex.
Dex is The Resistance’s
bad boy. With a history of sleeping around, drug use, and over drinking. There
really was nowhere for him to go but rehab. Dex is fighting the guilt he feels
for being happy he finally gets a chance with Rochelle. The person he has loved
for years. Now when he is trying to be a better man the world doesn’t allow him
to be. All everyone sees is the bad boy he has always been. Now he just wants
Rochelle to see the man he is one the inside.
My heart broke for
Dex. He has been in love with Rochelle for years and now with the situation the
way it is he might not get the HEA he has always wanted. Everyone keeps making
them feel what they feel is wrong. Dex is caring, passionate, and loving. All
he needed was a chance. He was a pretty complex character. There was so much
going on with him and he had to take it slow. He couldn’t jump in like he
wanted. Both Rochelle and Dex had to work through their emotions before
anything good could come from their relationship.
I laughed, I cried, I
cheered, and I face-palmed many times during this book. S.L. Scott takes you on
an emotional rollercoaster with this book. The journey to get to the HEA they
both deserved was rough. I wanted to reach through my kindle and knock their
heads together. But Dex and Rochelle are proof that if you fight for something
it might just be worth it in the end.
S.L. Scott really
knows how to write a story. She sucks you in and makes you as much a part of
her story as her characters. Scott is able to create a story that is so genuine
and real you can’t help but fall in love. She creates characters that you fall
in love with and can’t help but want to know. I was happy that S.L. Scott didn’t
take the predictable follow up route after The Resistance. She created a
completely new and original story with characters we already know. This book is
everything that I wanted from an S.L. Scott book and so much more!
Thank you so much for reading my books and the beautiful review <3
