Hold on to Me

I am a HUGE fan of Elisabeth Naughton and I LOVED Hold On To Me!! Hold On To Me is the second book of Elisabeth Naughton’s Against All Odds series. Even though it is part of a series, Hold On To Me can be read as a standalone. But I do suggest reading the first book, Wait For Me, only because you will LOVE IT!! It was great to see the characters from the first book (Ryan and Katie) make an appearance in this book. And the author does a great job of adding quick recaps from the first book, just enough to allow new readers of the series an introduction to Ryan and Katie. Elisabeth Naughton is a great story teller. She mixes romance with action and mystery, which I love and adds excitement to the story. Mitch Mathews and Simone Conners have had explosive chemistry since the first day they met. But Simone is an independent woman with some secrets that make her life complicated. But it turns out Mitch also has some secrets that would destroy their relationship. I really love Simone and Mitch but they are both so stubborn! So I found myself sympathizing with both characters and actually not choosing sides. I understand their reasons for deception but I just wanted them both to confess so they both wouldn’t be so miserable!! This struggle is what I loved about this story – a lot of drama and some hot makeup sex!! This is another great book from Elisabeth Naughton and I suggest all fans of romance should read this! I can’t wait for the next book (which I hope will be about the sexy rocker Tate Kendrick!).

I fell in love with the first book in the series, Wait For Me (I’ve read that particular one multiple times), and I couldn’t WAIT for Hold on to Me to come out!! I was far from disappointed! I absolutely love the way Elisabeth Naughton is able to capture her readers, and hold them hostage until the book is finished! This book follows Simone and Mitch; both were secondary characters in Wait For Me and that is where they met and fell in love. This is one of those books were everything is going great, and then all hell breaks loose! I literally couldn’t put this book down once I started reading it! It was sweet and sincere one moment and then full of angst, action, and suspense in the next. I really enjoy all of Mrs. Naughton’s books and this was no exception. I do recommend reading Wait For Me (the first book in the series) first, just so you are familiar with the backstory/dynamics between some of the characters.

I'm always excited when a new book is coming. The characters are complexed and you become immersed in the story from the very beginning.
