Desperate for a paycheck after forfeiting a chance at her dream career, Roxie Malone accepts a job at a law firm, assisting a hard-to-please and too tempting criminal attorney. Struggling to censor her sarcasm and adjust to the expectations of the challenging man, she maintains one goal. Do not get fired. As long as she refuses to mix business with pleasure, she might have a shot at earning the … the bonus at the end of the case.
Me, assistant. You, boss.
Losing the drive that made him one of the top lawmen at his firm, Grant Newland takes a leave of absence at the worst possible time. Upon hearing his friend is charged for murder, Grant races back to work to fight for justice. But concentrating on the case is easier said than done with the gorgeous, no-nonsense assistant trailing behind him.
Blurring the lines…
Roxie and Grant agree to leave their pasts behind them, opting to swallow the pain of the sacrifices they’d made. They focus on answering one question. Who killed famous singer, Josh Warren? Chasing clues and stumbling over dead ends, they try to deny their attraction to each other. It’s only a matter of time before they can debate whether it might be better to tackle their case as a team, instead of resisting each other.

I love the strong willed Roxie who will do anything to be a good mom, even sacrifice a relationship. However, you’ll have to read to find out if she determines a relationship is what’s best for everyone or if its too much of danger.
Great read
“Resisting Redemption” (nook) is an excellent love story and murder mystery. There are so many twists and turns as the investigation flows forward to reveal the culprit(s). A few surprises add to the intrigue.
Resisting Redemption to me, honestly and of course in my own personal opinion, is more of a suspense with a splash of romance in it. Okay, more than a splash but the suspense is STRONG!! I freaking got pulled in right away with the strong as hell heroine, Roxie Malone. Roxie is a woman who has faced many obstacles in her life and the main one right now is being an unemployed single mom. Roxie was hired to be a personal assistant to a lawyer, Grant Newland. Grant has a reputation of being a hard man to work for since his divorce. He hasn’t kept an assistant for more than 24 hours.
I really liked this one.
I thought the plot line was original and well-thought out, and the characters were multi-faceted. It made me want to know what happened afterwards, and to see the characters again, which is the mark of a good read.
This book was the first of this series I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. I bought the first two books in the series, but they didn’t seem as well crafted.
Enjoyed the story and characters.
