Hold You Close

From New York Times best seller Corinne Michaels and USA Today best seller Melanie Harlow comes a second chance stand-alone romance novel.

Ian Chase broke my heart at 17, and I’ve spent the last 18 years hating him for it. He makes it easy, with his smart mouth and playboy lifestyle - which I unfortunately have to observe since he lives behind me. Every time I see him climbing out of his pool, practically naked and unreasonably sexy, my blood boils.

I’ve always loved to loathe him. I never planned to need him.

London Parish is my little sister’s best friend, not that it stopped me from falling for her. Our history is complicated. The only thing we have in common is being godparents to my sister’s three adorable kids - until our lives are changed in one tragic moment. Now we’re trying to raise the children we love, mourn an unthinkable loss, and fight an undeniable attraction.

My life is already upside down, and the last thing I need is for old feelings to resurface. Because I’ll never be able to keep her, no matter how hard I try to hold her close.

great story line and narration

love this author loved the narration. this story has the best ending! I really thought I was going to hate Ian!

Hot, sweet romance with family tragedy and drama

Typical story of assumptions, immature love and behavior, miscommunications, resentment and sexual tensions, a family tragedy, forgiveness and repetitive behavior, and finally an open discussion that leads to an HEA. Narration was great and while this fast paced story was not particularly original it was entertaining and well executed.

Wonderful story and narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end. The characters were completely lovable and the storyline was very engaging. I not only fell for Ian and London, but also each of the kids and Sabrina through her letters. I was pretty sure where we were headed from the beginning, but I still loved the road it took to get there.

While this story was emotional, it was not overly angsty. For the majority of the book, it was an uplifting look at second chances. Ian and London had me laughing at times and melted my heart as they adjusted to their new parental roles. I was swooning hard by the end. I definitely didn't want to stop listening for anything.

The audio on this book was amazing. The narrators really became the characters. The pacing and tone matched the story every step of the way. This is definitely one audio I recommend!

I want this to be a movie!!

The most beautiful second chance! If you love love you need this book! I cried and laughed and cried some more.

Great Story

This story is both sweet and sad. Two people, frenemies, forced together for the good of three children. They love to hate each other. The narrators do a fabulous job of portraying the hurt, happiness, and the hot!
