This is a new author read for me and I can honestly say I liked it. I am a sucker for Military or Ex-Military reads. Aiden is special-ops tasked to protect someone whom he believes is another rich debutante. He is surprised to find out that Jordan is a brilliant scientist. Chemistry between the two is apparent but they quarrel a bit and do not act upon it right away. Filled with action, some suspense and a very good ending.3.5 stars

Mission: Impossible to Resist is a romance drama story. Jordan is from a wealthy family but chose to forge her own path in life. Now, she is a world class medical scientist with a major medical breakthrough discovery. Her sister Sophie is kidnapped. Jordan teams up with bodyguard Aidan to find Sophie and shenanigans begin. The two have a connection that's steamy and tense. They work well together in an entertaining way. Both characters are realistic and likeable and complex. The interaction and dialogue between them is great. It's a well written story that unfolds smoothly at a steady pace. The ending is major girl power which is awesome. I enjoyed the story even though it's not the sort of thing I usually read. I'm glad I tried something different. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

An adrenaline rush! I was hooked from the first page with situations becoming more intense as each pages turned. The sensual tension between this couple is palpable from the start, their banter is engaging and their teamwork heartwarming under stressful circumstances. The characters are all believable and you really get invested in their stories. The situations are thrilling and keep you on tenterhooks throughout the book. You have to love strong, intelligent female characters and the stronger males that appreciate and love them. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series as I can’t get enough of the characters!

Overall rating: 3.5/5 falling for the bodyguard story. pg-13 until the end.

Heroine (Jordan Dean): 4/5 a billionaire’s daughter who would rather be in her lab studying stem cells than at parties for the rich. Red hair, somewhere in her late twenties or early thirties.

Hero (Aiden Foster): 4/5 An elite military unit member who has seen enough death and wishes to live a quieter life. He’s a temporary bodyguard for Jordan Dean.

Plot: 3/5 Jordan’s sister is kidnapped and Aiden is her only protection as they go into hiding while the ransom is paid. Can Jordan and Aiden figure out why her sister was taken? Is Jordan the next target? Will they be able to keep their hands off each other and keep things professional?

Personal Review: Even though Jordan has ex military guards I like how she helped rescue herself in the end. She’s not a helpless damsel, she’s a scientist and her head bodyguard taught her to defend herself from a young age.

I wish the action scenes had a little bit more action. For intense they go to a club following a lead but Aiden thinks someone is watching them so they leave. Nothing happens, they just leave. It’s odd for a book with such a strong opening action scene. The author knows how to write action well, so the club scene did nothing for the plot except let Aiden and Jordan share another kiss.

Overall it was an enjoyable read and a good start to the series. I can’t wait to read what Finn and Sophie get up to in the next book.

Impossible to Resist as a whole is a fast pace romantic suspense but it take a long time for the story to really take off. The author repeats herself many times that can be frustrating for some readers while other will pass over the information and keep on reading as Jordan is about to be thrown into a world of the unknown and Aiden will do everything to protect her.

This is a great beginning to a series I can't wait to get my hands on.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This was non stop action as Aiden and Jordan tried to figure out who kidnapped her sister and stay safe themselves as they investigated. Now, Aiden wanted to keep Jordan safe and protect her but of course, Jordan wanted to "help" by finding out who would kidnap her sister.

Most of their searching was wasted time and only put them in danger, it kind of annoyed me that Jordan would not listen to Aiden and insisted on going out and putting them in danger. When she forced Aiden to take her to the mentor's house, I wanted to smack some sense into her - even if she thought she was safe - what if she was traced there? She would not only be putting herself in danger but her dear friend.

I did like that at the end, the three women planned and executed their escape by themselves!! I am looking forward to the next book with Finn and Sophie - that should be interesting! I also hope we see more of Danni.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a decent, high action, steamy love story. Aidan is a tough, protective ex soldier who covers for his friend as Jordan's Bodyguard. Then both her and her sister are in danger of kidnappers and Aidan fights to protect Jordan. Great characters and plenty of sizzle.

Another great suspense romance novel by Jackie Delecki. Jordan is a genius who shows just how smart she is by actually listening to what Aiden asked her to do to keep her safe. Yes there was discussions first, I mean she is female after all. Loved it!
