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!

Ratings and reviews

This is a good story. Besides the romance, it deals with the problem of depression. Isaac & Leanne have issues to resolve before they get back together. They do have the whole town rooting for them, however.

Resisting Love is a beautiful, heartwarming, second chance at love romance. I love the town of Starlight Ridge. Everyone there is family. Isaac and Leanne are very interesting and complex characters. Leanne left for a three month apprenticeship. She returns home after two years. Isaac keeps her at arms length because he feels he had to move on without her. Will they manage to reconnect? The town is planning their wedding but they are no longer a couple. This is a well written story of love, forgiveness and second chances. I really enjoyed it.

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!

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.
