Resumen del Editor

She’s his light breaking through the darkness.

A second chance? Why would Cassidy want one? She’s already had everything she could possibly want: a husband, a baby on the way, the perfect life…until it all crumbled away.

Now, two years after her husband’s death, Cassidy is barely holding on. Her interests don’t go beyond her quiet existence on the lake or her German shepherd, Fred... That is, until an arrogant jerk buys the place next door and steals her dog.

A second chance? Mac doesn’t need one. Or anyway, he doesn’t deserve one.

Mac bought a dilapidated cabin because it mirrors his state of mind: broken, isolated, useless to humanity. Plus, the place is close enough to town that he can drink himself into oblivion. He has no interest in connections except for one-night stands and commandeered time with his neighbor’s dog. That is, unless you count Cassidy.

It’s a second chance: the one they both need.

At first, Cassidy and Mac merely exist next to each other, but the attraction between them—the bond of their broken existence—pulls them together again and again. They aren’t always the best people, but the jagged edges of their lives begin to heal each other, even as they strike out against it.

Holding on to Day is the rerelease of Alive Day, Lilly K. Cee’s debut novel. It is a book about redemption, pain, and healing after everything falls apart. The book contains steamy scenes, and as with real life, includes some trigger warnings: PTSD, depression, loss of loved ones, violence, and a miscarriage. It also includes a happily ever after for two people who may be broken but are working hard to pick up the pieces.

Happy Heart 💜

I absolutely loved this book. The beginning was sad but so filled with hope. It has the amazing happy ending I hoped was coming. 💗💜💗
The narration was perfect.

Loved the Slow Burn and Passion

I usually come to romantic stories with a classic "Pollyanna" type lens. After this book, I realize how off my expectations usually are and what I'm missing out on. This is real! Some moments were tough to read and so is real life. Two pained people figuring it out. I loved it.

As for the amazingly hot scenes...wow! 🔥 I enjoyed the slow burn as they moved towards the big moment. Once they did...whew!!

Loved the characters. Loved the story. Amazing narration.

If you enjoy disfuncional. This is it

Only redeeming bit is the narration. Big fan of Mr Duran’s voice (main reason I selected this book). Ms Rocca also has a beautiful voice. To bad this very long tale of broken people was so … broken.

Narrators

Honestly, I'm just here for the voices! Troy and Angelina are absolutely wonderful! I think, if it wasn't for them, I would have moved on to another book by now (I'm only in chapter 7).

Destiny Finds a Way

I’m really glad I chose to listen to this book rather than read it. Although I enjoy being able to hear what I believe the characters are portraying in written word, this book in audio is fire. I really felt the characters emotions, all of them and there were many. If you think you know what’s happening you don’t, but you root for love. Will they find each other or will they destroy each other? You’ll have to read or listen to find out.

Spoiler Alert*****

First, let me say, Troy Duran really made reading this bearable. The FMC was weak and very simple-minded. The whole book she was either crying or confused about her feelings for a man she really didn't know and slept with any woman available, even after they were sleeping together. I had to skip through her inner monolog. It was just too much for me, with her back and forth thinking. I just could not figure out the point of the book other than that they were sexually compatible. Even after they resolved some of their problems and expressed their feelings, it was still all about sex. things like getting to know each other while having sex. It's not worth the credit to me.
