WOW!! If you are looking for an unbelievably hot read, this is it. I haven’t read any of the other Black Halo books yet, but believe me that is going to change NOW. I am hooked on this series and can’t wait to start the venture with this rock group. They sure sound like quite the bunch. I have to know what the deal is with Ash and Xane sounds like a wild ride himself. Back to this particular book though the story of Spook and Alle was even endearing...in a smutty way. No matter how hard Spook tried to push Alle away, she would come back and would keep pushing for more. She doesn’t understand the reluctance that he has and for that fact neither do I. It is because of this that Resistor has me hooked on the Black Halo series. I have so many questions and can’t wait to find out some of the answers to them. It doesn’t hurt that the hotness is turned up to high either. This was a very fast read and had me wanting for more.

The story is not standalone and continuities in another book. Its a really quick short erotic read. So if you want something dirty and forbidden, the book is for you.
So we have Spook who is sworn to celibacy and does not have sex does not get a hard on. But all is change when in his life come Alle. A determined woman who will not take no for an answer and begins to brake walls which were built years ago.
Story is interesting and hot. There are pretty naughty and panty dropping scenes. I'm sorry that is in two parts so yes you end up with cliffhanger.

Resistor by Madelynne Ellis was a quick read that had me left wanting more. It was hot and I really enjoyed the scenes with Spook and Xane (and of course the ones with Spook and Allegra). :)

This novella is about Spook Mortensen and Allegra Hutton. Spook has remained celibate for over seven years, however, the bold and determined Allegra tempts him to break his no sex policy. He fights his desires to be with Alle throughout the novella, and when the possibility of Alle working as sound engineer for their album in Sweden arises he is more determined to keep his distance.

Alle and Spook are hot together and sparks fly between them. Both want to be with the other but Spook's resistance stops them. Luckily, Alle is not a quitter and keeps on pushing.

I enjoyed this novella. Sad it ends in a cliffhanger, but happy that Spook and Alle's story will continue in another book, Replay.

Overall, Resistor was a great read that I recommend. Hope their next book comes out soon because I'm eager to find out more.

Resistor, Black Halo 2.5 , Madelynne Ellis Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews Genre: Romance, Erotica Well, I love the Black Halo series and Madelynne’s writing, and was eager to read this. sadly its not the usual five star read for me as it’s very short – just 1435 kindle locations....When i was searching for info I couldn’t find the “novella” tag but I’m sure by publication that will be there. If like me you don’t really get on with sort reads take note! So it’s Spook’s story – he’s always intrigued me, lives up to his name being like a kind of ghost, always around, always watching but rarely actually present, and when it comes to sex he’s definitely a voyeur only with his albums of erotic images. I was really looking forward to knowing what was behind his somewhat strange behaviour but we still don’t get the full story here. I want to know what it was that happened eight years ago – and I’m having to wait for part two to find out. Still, the brevity of the book means info is restricted, and this part concentrates on Spook meeting up once more with Allegra – Alle. They had a very short and sensual fling within his brief a few months back, which has stressed him ever since. Now she looks to be working with the group for some time, and he just doesn’t know if he’ll crack under the pressure seeing her has on him. Alle is confused, she thought they had something special, enjoyed what they did, and waited for him to call – but in vain. This time she’s determined to pin him down. I know she’s supposed to be this tough girl in a man’s world, but I found her a bit aggressive TBH, pursuing Spook when it was clear it distressed him. I guess that’s what she felt she had to do, but I didn’t like it and it felt as though when she and Spook were together he was kind of forced into it – and I don’t like that. Its no good rationalising that his body was saying yes, so ignoring his mind....still, I really need to read the next part and hopefully all will come clear. As it is it just feels unfinished to me, and though I’ve loved all the BH books so far this is a three for me. Stars: Three, its a hot and sensual read but just feels unfinished to me.

This may be short but it's more spicy than sweet. Rocker Spook has some hang ups when it comes to sex. Like a seven year hiatus. Alle broke down his walls before and she is looking for a way back in again. Spook is blessed with a best friend that refuses to let him hide from what Alle wants to give.

I always enjoy Black Halo amd Xane is up to his little tricks. Spook has a past as we realize all the band does. Having read the previous in this series it is a tease I tell you!! Still it was quick and a good read. The sparks that fly when these two get together! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will read the rest in this series! Have at it you will not be disappointed.

I received this ARC from the publisher via Net Galley for my honest review. Thank You!

Spook Mortensen has one rule when it comes to relationships: just say no. His policy of total abstinence has kept him out of trouble for years. Sex ought to be the last thing on his mind, but whenever go-getting sound engineer Allegra Hutton shows up, she doesn't just hijack his libido, she downright screws with it. The only way to deal with her is to tie her up.

Alle realises she's upsetting Spook's rhythm, but she's under no illusion that he's the right top to warm her bottom.

a very good story. Liked it a lot.
