About this ebook

He’d rather ride the waves than the tide of romance.

Isaac Larson is the picture of surfing perfection, killer smile included. But ever since his long-time girlfriend left their small town for the summer—and never came back—it has been harder to find things to smile about. It isn’t until she turns up on the beach two years later, ready to pick back up where they had left off, that he realizes he’s finally ready to move on.

Leanne Warner had only intended to spend the summer in LA. A screen-writing apprenticeship with a Hollywood bigwig had been too good an opportunity to pass up. Her boyfriend, Isaac, would still be around when she got back. Except, leaving LA hadn’t been as easy as leaving Starlight Ridge. When she finally breaks free of its chains and returns to her hometown, Isaac is still there, as she knew he would be. But he isn’t the same person as when she’d left. And neither is she.

Will some small-town intervention and a lot of forgiveness be enough for Isaac and Leanne to figure out they were never meant to be apart?

Resisting Love is the second book in the Starlight Ridge romance series. If you can’t get enough of small coastal towns, sweet kisses, and second chances at love, you’ll want to read this sigh-inducing love story.

Pick up Resisting Love and let Isaac and Leanne surf their way into your heart today!

A beautiful second chance romance! Two years ago, Leanne Warner left Starlight Ridge and her life-long boyfriend, Isaac Larson, to pursue her dreams in Hollywood with a three-month summer internship. Now she is back; hoping to pick up her relationship with Isaac where it left off but her surfer-lifeguard boyfriend is not in the mood to make nice with the girl who broke his heart. This is a good second-chance romance about regrets and forgiveness. The small, ocean-side town of Starlight Ridge is a perfect setting for a love story and the quirky residents add a lot of flavor to the storyline. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

When I met Isaac in the last book I thought he was a beach bum lifeguard surfer mooching off his friends and pining for his ex-girlfriend who left him. But he reveals hidden depths and secrets in this book that show there is so much more to him. Leanne dreamed of being a Hollywood screen writer and gets her chance to work with someone in the business. Yes, she stopped communicating with Issac when she was in LA, but she also didn’t deserve all the guilt trips she received when she came back. The residents of Starlight Ridge form their own opinions and meddle which adds to the humor in the book. The path to a second chance at love between Leanne and Issac does not run smooth and is filled with misunderstandings and injuries.

Sweet Love Story That Goes a Little Deeper The author of this book clearly sets the scene for both the hero and the heroine, showing exactly their frustrations and difficulties with where they're at in life as the book opens. She had gone away two years ago for what she thought would be a three-month internship with a prominent LA screenwriter. She lost touch with her boyfriend from home and now is returning to her small town. He's never quite gotten over the betrayal, and he's just spinning his wheels in life. He's also suffering from depression, which the author depicts with sensitivity. Each is broken in their own way, souls who need a little help to get their lives back together and find their way to each other, different now because each has changed because of all that has transpired in the last 2 years. A good read. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

About the author

Kat Bellemore is the author of the Borrowing Amor sweet romance series. Deciding to have New Mexico as the setting for the series was an easy choice, considering its amazing sunsets, blue skies and tasty green chile. That, and she currently lives there with her husband and two cute kids. They hope to one day add a dog to the family, but for now, the native animals of the desert will have to do. Though, Kat wouldn't mind ridding the world of scorpions and centipedes. They're just mean.
