RESISTANCE by K. Larsen -- BLOG TOUR & REVIEWS!

 RESISTANCE (Bloodlines #3)
(Sawyer's Story, Releasing Late 2014)
SYNOPSIS
My name is Sawyer Crown, I own Bloodlines Tattoo Parlor, despise drama, and have a penchant for broken women. It's a habit I intend to kick.
The arrangement had been simple. Clara and I sleep together if and when we wanted too. We were always best friends first. We raised Allie together with love. Four years into it did people assume we were married- yes. Did people assume I was Allie's father- sure. Did I love every second of that- most definitely.
Then my world exploded. Clara left me. Moved on. I'm supposed to too. I just haven’t figured the moving on part out quite yet. The heart wants what it wants right? Or maybe the mind want what it wants for the heart. All of those scenarios are bullshit though. Clara went for the gold. She carved out the happiness she needed, wanted.
Now it’s my turn.

MY REVIEW
 
4.75 *WINK* READ
 
 
I absolutely love K. Larsen and her books! She is amazing and thorough when it comes to her style of writing. You will be sucked in from the get go and there is no use in trying to resist.

I did find, however, that this book isn't as jaw dropping as her other reads. There is less action and less drama,in my opinion. But then again we have learned a lot from the previous books and so much has already unfolded already. What it has more of though, is a romantic side of things. After we were emotionally gutted from book #2 in Bloodlines this book is almost a beacon of hope for Mags, now known as Pepper, as she goes through the internal struggle of forgiveness & acceptance with the help of a man named Sawyer. I must say I freaking swooned over this man HARD. You absolutely feel his own despair when it comes to intimacy and love. The two are more alike than we think but Pepper has deep wounds that Sawyer simply does not understand but is willing to wait for all to be revealed. The sexual tension in this book is HOT and if Pepper wasn't going to get on that I swear if I could of jumped into my ereader to take her place I would of!

There is also a deep emotional message and a lot of character growth with Pepper. I really felt for this girl and for all she has been through. To relive and come to terms with all that you have been running from is not an easy task. I had to run to get some tissues on more than one occasion.

I highly suggest if you haven't read the Bloodline series that you start now. Get the tissues, find a quiet corner and get ready for one of the most wild, thrilling, emotional reads in your life!

OBJECTIVE (Bloodlines #2)
SYNOPSIS
My story started out cliché, good girl falls for bad boy, but one wrong move changed all that. Turns out the good girl doesn’t save the bad boy. My story goes from cliché to risqué to mind blowing. My story is different from all the others because the events of my story led me to one thing...my objective.
Remembering him comes in dreams and flashbacks that I can't control. I tell myself it’s time to let go...but moving on from him is impossible when I still see our lives in my head. 
When you kill your soul mate you don’t ever really recover. 
A year of trying to forget or rather move past it has taught me that you can't. Its an impossibility to move on from that kind of horrific form of betrayal. If you you’re too selfish or scared for suicide, like me, you learn to wake up every morning and follow routine. One foot in front of the other, day after day. 
Hollow. Lifeless. Haunted. Loving him was like the sun on a summer day. Living without him is like slowly burning to death. Torture.
A Bloodlines Novel. 
*Note Tug of War is the 1st in the Bloodlines books, each book can be read as a stand alone book.*

MY REVIEW
5 *WINK* READ
 
I was speechless for quit a while after finishing this book. I am still in shock from the wild ride that K. Larsen's Objective took me on. I hadn't read the first book but you bet your muffin I am going back to read that now! But Even without reading the first book I felt I knew enough through the flashbacks and back story presented. She did a wonderful job making sure you felt connected to the characters emotional/mental state and understood their reasoning throughout the book.

Magnolia (Cypress aka Mags) has made a new life for herself. If you can call it life when you are just going through the motions. I am not sure how she kept what little sanity she had left after such tragic events that led her to her running from everything and everyone who once knew her. But this day and age if some one wants to find you...they will.

There are so many twists. You think you know what a person is all about till you are thrown into a whirlwind of secrets and EVERYONE has one in this book! I was brought to tears on multiple occasions and seriously felt sick a couple of times from the despair and the horrible events that were unfolding. I couldn't stop till I knew everything was played out and all the cards were on the table and when they were I was speechless.

Ezra is a great villain! He is just the definition of a sick, evil, twisted individual that has no heart left. I wanted to kill the bastard and, if possible, kill him again. That is how much I hated him and all he stood for in this book!

And let's not forget about the men *wink*. There is Bentley! I must say I liked him a lot. Possibly more than Cane, Mag's original love. He is gentle, loving, concerned, but at the same time did I really know him? He too had a secret and one he couldn't reveal that made you wonder if he was truly that guy that could take care of you. Cane played with my emotions as well. I wanted to hate him, but it was hard because Mag's love for him was so strong and you felt her love through her memories and actions.

I still want to scream from all the craziness of this book and everything that took place. It's an awesome read and I recommend it to anyone who wants a bit of everything. Dark, twisted, action, thriller, crime, romance, comedy; it's all in there!

I have a weird addiction to goat cheese and chocolate martinis, not together though.
I adore my dog. He is the most awesome snuggledoo in the history of dogs.
 Seriously.
I hate dirty dishes.
I like sarcasm and funny people.
I should probably be running right now... because of the goat cheese....and stuff.
I've been told I'm the mistress of Snark. I like that.

TUG OF WAR (Bloodlines #1)
Impulsive, YES. Irresponsible, SURE. Necessary, PROBABLY. Going to end badly, most likely. Does any of that matter to me, no. I decided that I can't please everyone so this week my only goal is to please me. I’m a selfish cow but I can’t seem to help it. I’m Clara Lord. I own Bloodline’s Tattoo Parlor, have a filthy mouth, no filter and a really strong objection to bossy idiots, pet names and wealthy men.
You will hate me, love me or love to hate me but either way it doesn’t matter. Everything I touch turns to crap and it’s all my fault. See, I lived through hell. Then I escaped hell and carefully spent the next eight years crafting a perfect little life until Domini Napoli screwed it all up. Now nothings right. Everything’s wrong and all my secrets are coming out.

TARGET 84 (Bloodlines #4)
(Bentley's Story, Releasing Early 2015)
SYNOPSIS
My first kill was at sixteen. One might think that’s young but I'd been trained for two years before I was allowed to execute a human target on my own. I won’t ever forget him. Jackson Manning was testifying in a human trafficking case and someone didn’t want him to be heard.  I'd been sloppy and careless, but excited and if I'm honest, a little turned on too. I’d found myself rather curious staring at his unmoving body. I’d been scolded for my carelessness but it didn’t matter. I’d had a taste of the real thing and I thirsted for more. My desire, my obsession took on a new form that day. It wasn’t a goal I was working towards anymore, it was tangible now. 
It is my life.
I am an assassin. I don't know my targets or why they're targeted. I am commissioned to kill without question and I am paid grandly for the service I provide. I get a text with a name and an address. I watch them. I wait. I become who I need to be. I seduce them if necessary to get close enough to execute. 
I love my job, or  loved my job. Everything changed when I was assigned: ATF Agent Bentley James, last known location Christiansburg, VA.
