Restoring #1.5
Resisting You
Aiden is Chicago’s most desired bachelor. Women either want to tame him, or get lost in his touch. He’s a man who has it all: great job, money, and women.
When he meets Stacy, the one woman who doesn’t surrender to his inescapable appeal, he is faced with a challenge he can’t resist, an exhilarating chase he is determined to win.
The chase becomes a seduction neither of them can withhold. Will it last or are some habits too difficult to break?

This is a hot read in fact if Aiden's not actually having sex then he's thinking about it, talking about it, reminiscing about it or looking for the woman he's going to be having it with next.
Aiden is Chicago's most desired bachelor or Chicago's Biggest Man Whore depending on who you're asking.
In his own words he's '....a bachelor in my late 20s looking for a good time. I’ve got success, money, a nice apartment, and a f***ing badass car. What’s not to love? Right?.....'
One thing he isn't is modest but then he has a lot going for him and women just fall at his feet or to their knees I suppose would be more accurate. He's more than happy with his life as it is and he likes having a different women every night and despite the fact that's he's a huge man whore he's honest and makes it clear he's after one thing and one thing only and that's sex, one time, no repeats or overnights and this is working really well for him until he meets Stacy and there's just something about her, she also shoots him down and he's never been shot down before and he can't get her out of his mind.
While Stacy is incredibly attracted to Aiden she's been hurt before and is determined not to travel down that road again but as she's about to discover he's a hard man to resist especially when his attention is turned purely onto her.
This is the first book I've read by this author and while it's actually book 1.5 it can be read as a standalone.
Now for the most part I enjoyed this book, I did find myself skimming at times because the sex to story ratio was way out and I find a lot of the time there's only so many times I can read about the same people having sex in the same book.
I was curious at times about the previous book 'Restoring Us' since I was interested in Ava and Ethan's story but since it's not on kindle unlimited I'll give it a miss.
In conclusion this is a short but hot read, you'll get plenty of sex but not much story.

Aiden, oh Aiden. WOW!!!! You are one persistent man and I love you so much for it. I swear you knew what you wanted but you didn't know I wouldn't give in to you so easily. Ha! looks like the joke was on both of us.
So, you wanted me even though your sister told you to leave me alone. I found you attractive but I knew what kind of man you were and I was not going to go down that road, again. Well, every where I was you were too. Why? FATE? I think so.
Fabiola has given us a very hot and beautiful love story. Aiden wasn't looking for it and damn if he didn't find it. He is one fine looking book boyfriend. Successful, cocky and he will screw anything with legs. Sadly, the one he really wants won't give him the time of day. But, that doesn't stop him. Stacy is fighting the attraction until she can't any more. One night, it was just suppose to be one night! But, one night is NEVER enough.
We met Aiden in Restoring Us. I am so happy that we got to get to know him better. He is a good guy, he just doesn't do romance all that well, but boy can he please us.
I can't wait for more from Fabiola!!!

After Restoring Us, I was waiting for this novella...We briefly meet Aiden in R.U. and the self-professed manwhore of Chicago is exactly that.
He's fun, hot, naughty, sneaky, dirty and 100% noncommittal until he meets Stacy - the one girl who doesn't immediately go tumbling into bed...or cars...with him. Of course, Stacy works with his sister and he's been warned to keep his distance, but he can't.
Stacy has been going through a bit of a drought, but agrees to wet her appetite temporarily with Aiden. Except, something more than passion blooms.
I'm not typically a novella reader, but I loved this one. It didn't feel too quick and there was a lot of "story" to it. Francisco gets extra steamy with this one...the loves scenes are incredibly hot.
And the ending - divine!
FIVE bad boy, very naughty stars.

This woman has done it again. I loved this quick, fun, sexy, hot, and dirty mouth read! Aiden is a cocky SOB but he does it so very well and I felt a connection to the characters and the first paragraph. Strong and powerful this novella is a must buy! And you will enjoy every moment of it.

Something different from Francisco and I loved it! A hot & dirty, fun, sexy little read.
This is a flirty, down and dirty novella. A great read to nurse a book hangover or something sexy to read on a short trip!
The things that come out of Aiden's mouth... are like....
Stacy's feelings on the matter of sex with Chicago's most famous Playboy...
Or maybe...
Stacy doesn't make it easy for Aiden...and they start to develop a friendship or an understanding realizing they might not be all that different... something Aiden says is like ...
Aiden and Stacy have electric chemistry and the sex is way hot. Watch out for Aiden's dirty mouth ... He's pretty blunt and Stacy gives as good as she gets. Five stars!

So after reading "Restoring Us" and hearing that Fabiola was writing a novella with Aiden, I feel like I harassed her so long until she finally gave in and handed me an early copy of this book!! I already loved Aiden in the first book, and couldn't wait to get to know him more. Especially since the sparks between him and Stacy where already flying high back then.
Aiden is your dirty mouthed playboy, the one that always gets the girl he wants and never gets rejected. While that might sound familiar to some of you, this story is anything but. Because while Aiden is just that person, his dirty mouth is the one thing others sometimes fail to be: honest. He will brutally give you everything you want to hear and more. He won't hold back, and he will give it to you straight. Always. And I love that about him! That truthfulness in his words made the dirty mouth all the more attractive. And I already loved his dirty mouth LOL But, besides that, Aiden is also a great person. Sounds clichee, but it's truth. He cares for the people around him (we've seen that with his sister) and is loyal to the bone. Also, once he sets his mind to something, he doesn't give up until he achieved whatever it is. And it just happens to be Stacy now.
Stacy is one of the girls that we all wanna be. Great friends, great job and all of the sudden a hot guy running after her. But then again, Stacy doesn't wanna be one of those girls, the ones that simply give in for a night and that's it. And that's where Aiden has met his match. She doesn't give in easily, actually making him work hard for it and unmistakably telling him what she thinks of his way of acting. And yet, there is attraction that cannot be denied. Not at all!
Throughout the whole book, there are a steamy scenes that will make you feel hot and in need of a VERY cold shower. I remember that I already needed one after the first chapter! It was just so perfectly described, not too little and yet not too much either. I loved it!!
This is a great addition to this series and I'm super glad we got to see more of Aiden. AND I'm secretly hoping there's more where that came from!!!
Again, thank you Fabiola for letting me read this AMAZING book <3

This is a novella from Restoring Us which was a fantastic read, now we get to read Aiden's story. When Aiden was first introduced to me in the book Restoring Us, I knew his character was going to be brilliant, quite the ladies man.
Aiden can have any woman he wants but he's getting bored with his hookups lately. God the man really is a man whore but all his conquests know the score. He never lies to them, giving them false hope, no he tells them how it is, one night of sexual bliss. Yes he knows what he is doing, no woman has ever been disappointed after being with him. He does like to cuss a lot, it's part of his charm, oh and he has that in spades. Aiden is a challenge that many woman think they can change him. Pfft not likely.
He finds himself attracted to one woman in particular, his sister's friend and colleague Stacy, she's a great girl and knows to stay clear of men like Aiden, but he has other ideas not one to give up, after all, who can resist him?. Ha! Stacy can, but for how long? The sexual scenes in this book are HOT!! Shouty capitals, can you all hear? I loved this book. I know BDSM books and erotica can get boring after a while but if it has a great story line it will certainly keep me reading. If I had to summarised this book, I would say: short, hot, cussing, bad boy book. Thanks for introducing me to Aiden. I wish you well with this book Fabiola Francisco

Amazingly sexy and hot!
Resisting Us is one of those novel that will get you all hot and bothered! Restoring Us was amazing and I have always wondered what would happened to Aiden and Stacy! Thank all the gods and stars that the author decided to have a novella dedicated to them!
Aiden and Stacy are both straightforward hard-asses, with Stacey being slightly gentler, but their sex is just mind-blowing! It’s so sexy, the feelings they have for each other, and oh so beautiful!
Phew! It’s so hot in here like someone please get the fire extinguisher because seriously, Stacy and Aiden are the masters of hot-and-sexy dancing AND IT’S BURNING UP!
Even though this was a short novella, the story was pretty amazing and the way the characters are developed wasn’t too rush either!
Resisting Us is definitely worth FIVE AMAZING AND SEXY STARS!
Miss Fabiola Francisco has now officially become one of my favourite author!
Highly recommended for mature readers and oh, you might need a fire extinguisher and a change of panties!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this novella (yes be jealous) let me tell you something, this book is amazing Aiden the main character is a trip! his dirty mouth and way to live life will keep you entertained from page 1! Stacy besides being hot is a nice working girl who does not want to fall into temptation, but she does.. This book is about opening up to new things like love for once and finding the one just when you thought it was impossible or you just didn't think it was for you! Pick up a copy of this Novella once it becomes available! you won't be disappointed!

I have to start by saying that this book was so funny and so much fun to read!
Sweet receptionist Stacey has caught the eye of Chicago's biggest man whore, Aiden Owens. The problem is Aiden drives Stacey crazy. She thinks he is an arrogant ass, well he is. But you got to love the guy. They agree to have one night together. Neither one of them thinks they'll want more. BUT WHAM!!! That's just what happens. Stacey has turned Aiden's world over on it's head. And Stacey has fallen just as hard. Yes Aiden was an ass, but I realty like him

So hot and sweet!!!
If you thought Aiden was the worse example of the human male you must read this continuation. After reading Restoring Us I couldn't see a way for Fabiola to give any restoring qualities to Aiden. Cue Stacy into the mix as was done in the first book and you have an amazing story. Not only did the author surprise me and melt my heart, she reminded me that there is always another half to everyone's soul. You never know your full capabilities until you meet the person who completes you in life. Wonderfully written and amazingly put. Another 5 star read!!!

Oh Aiden... *sighs*
I thought that I had read all of the top bad boys out there. I WAS WRONG!!!! Aiden Evans just hit my top 5 bad boys to fall in love with. Aiden is a self proclaimed man whore who meets Stacy, one of his sister's co- workers. He has been warned not to sleep with her. Of course that doesn't happen. Lucky Stacy... What I love about this book is watching Aiden change from his man whore ways to a man that Stacy is luck enough to call hers.

While Ava and Ethan are sweet and adorable... Ava’s brother Aiden is hot, a walking s*x god, and has found his match in the one place who is doing everything she can to resist him, Stacey. I spent most of this novella, crossing and uncrossing my legs! The heat and need between these two had me flying through this read. Sweet and loving is fun, but if you are looking for a sexy, confident, alpha then Aiden is the man for you. Be sure that you don’t miss this! Another great read by the amazing Fabiola!!

Aiden and Stacy, meant to be!!
This story is about Aiden and Stacy, they had a very magical chemistry. They started out as secret lovers, but really got to know each other. Aiden had a questionable background with lots of women and Stacy had a hard time trusting him. I truly thought they were meant to be and was routing for them. This is a must read, get your copy today.

If you read Restoring Us, then you're familiar with Aiden and Stacy.
Aiden is Chicago's favorite bachelor - sexy, smart, and a total player. Until he meets Stacy. Ava's friend and co-worker. Smart, sassy, and completely uninterested. And did I mention that she's off limits.
But Aiden doesn't play by the rules and Stacy caves and agrees to one night of passion. Of panty dropping hot sex. And it's freaking HOT!!!
The problem with just one night is that it's never enough.

Questa volta sono fuori dalla maggioranza.. Aiden.... L'ho apprezzato in Restoring Us, ma é una gran delusione in questo libro... Non c'è spessore in lui, non ho stabilito una connessione. Stacey mi ha preso un pò di più, ma anche lei non mi ha entusiasmata
La storia: cliché stravisto, straletto, nessun elemento interessante o accattivante dal mio punto di vista... Niente.
Non ha fatto per me.
