Resisting You by E.M. Lindsey
5.0
5 stars
Frey and Renato have a lot of things in common, the first and more important is the end of their marriages, that left deep scars in their lives.
Renato is a 50 years old italian surgeon, he's grumpy and strict, he often makes residents cry.
Frey is a lot younger, his a nurse and a single dad of an adorable 5 years old Deaf boy, he has the reputation for sleeping around a lot and patients adore him.
Renato lost his husband Grady because of a car accident, he believes he will never find love again, so he gave up.
Frey was cheated on and then left by his husband who didn't want to deal with an "imperfect" child; Frey believes he will never find love again but he craves it.
Their relationship is based on dislike and aversion for each other; they also have a strong sexual attraction but the level of miscommunication is so high that they seem incapable to go past it.
Rex, Frey's son, will be one of the bridge that will bring them together: I adored how Renato was protective and caring towards the little guy.
Another strong bond between them was forged thanks to Renato being extremely attentive during their intercourses: he was confident and commanding without being cruel or mean and Frey felt safe and cherished with him.
Adele, Lane and the other Dads are wonderful and supportive and I really liked how they say "I love you" to each other: I especially appreciated Adele's regret when he found out the truth about Frey's hookups.
I'm really in love with this series, E.M. Lindsey is so good at representing people's conflicted feelings and emotions.
Last two things:
Renato is Italian but he doesn't speak in his native language in this story, just a very few words. I would have liked more of it. But I really appreciated how the author didn't make him a stereotype.
Second, finally we understand why Lane's ex wife left him and little Briar in peace: I adored how Adele took care of that!
Can't wait for the next story. Highly recommended.
I received an ARC of this book from the author and this is my honest review.
