Too Hard to Resist

Olivia never fails me. Not only do her books have some of the most beautiful romances in them, but they show relationships really forming. This one is hands-down one of my favorites. I’ve loved the Love Hotel series so much. Starting with Stella and Max, then going on to Jasmine and Jala, Alejandro. And now with Sammy and Romeo, I just can’t get enough.I loved this book with my whole heart. My favorite thing about it was how Love shows up in the story. Sammy is at the Love Hotel, looking for Love, and her match really isn’t the person for her. It is such a great plot. I love that they didn’t make him completely a terrible person, but he also was really a horrible person lol. I love the idea that Romeo had to be the one to take her out and show her a good time so that she could keep the experience.One of my favorite scenes in the whole book is when they’re on the boat. The boat scene is truly immaculate. I also really loved the amount of detail that each character paid attention to the other person. Like I love that he knew her favorite pastry, and she knew how much he cared about his dog. Their love was just so unmatched, and I love that it was because they were both at the Love Hotel.The banter in this book is probably the best thing. The banter is perfect carry it, super cute, and it actually makes you laugh. I felt like I really understood the characters and their personalities because of the amount of banter they had. They just enjoyed each other and I love that so much in a book. Thank you again Olivia for letting me read these wonderful stories. I can’t get enough of them and I cannot wait for another. I know you have a good one coming through with the Love Hotel and I am just so excited to see what you create.

The third book in the series brings us a story of chance encounters, where looking for love in the wrong place, our MFC finds it where least expected. The MMC falls first and hard. This is a destination read, located in the beautiful Mediterranean Coast. I found both Sammie and Romeo characters with depth. The steam is steaming and appropriate for the story. That said, it's not abundant, and easily skippable if not your thing.The characters from the other two books in the series show up, but I felt this can be read as a stand alone as I have yet to read them and didn't feel I missed much.

Sammie deserved so much better than she was continually getting. These *boys* who couldn't see all that she had to offer, not just her beauty, but her determination and drive and desire to love someone and be loved in return. The Love Hotel in Italy was the solution. They did the work for her, they found her a soulmate and it was finally her turn to have her happily ever after with her match, Edward.But of course, she would be the exception to the rule yet again, and her match ended up being a huge jerk. So what does Sammie do? She decides she's still going to enjoy this trip and luckily, Romeo is there to make sure she does.I loved the adventures that Sammie got to go on and found myself putting down the book to google places and see if they were real and what they looked like in pictures. I really enjoyed this story and even though I hadn't read the first two, I didn't fee lost. Though I do have every intention of going back to read the first two books in the series now.Thank you to Net Galley, Boldwood Books, and Olivia Spring for an eARC of this story.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc. I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. The idea of the Love Hotel was one I haven’t read before and so I really enjoyed it. I love a good forbidden romance and this one is at the top of my list. Sammie is a very realistic character with how the dating world is. Props to Sammie for not giving up and still making the most 😉 of her trip. Romeo was not how I expected him to be but in a good way. I think all of the characters were really well written and enjoyable to read about. I also feel like the whole book flowed really well and was also easy to follow along with. The spice was the perfect amount of slow burn and yearning which I loved!!! Overall I really enjoyed this book and definitely recommend! I hope I get to read more of Olivia Spring!

This is just the summer travel romance I needed right now - a couple with instant chemistry and a love and passion too hard to resist, the beautiful attractions in this Italian coastal town, and friends and family who are supportive and encouraging. This is the third book in The Love Hotel series. It can be read as a standalone but I enjoyed the other book I read in this series so you might want to read the whole series. Thank you to Olivia Spring, Boldwood Books and Love Books Tours for the opportunity to read this book early.
