What a fun and loving book with so much passion, caring, love to hate you, bickering back and forth between Skye and Cian. Their love hate relationship will keep you rolling throughout the book, even when both finally wise up to understand they do love each other it doesn’t stop there. I so loved Skye and Cian but heck I adored every character in this book. Even his cousin and ex girl friend who I would have loved to have slapped silly I adored them for they made the book so much more interesting and funny. I even found out a few things I didn’t know like what a gibbon was, that scene was just over the top funny.Skye and Cian are suppose to be in a relationship but Skye isn’t too happy about it and Cain does love to annoy her to no end. Oh and when Cain kept her up all night talking on the phone and she was mad she didn’t get any sleep…I thought I would laugh myself silly. She comes into work like the walking dead, gives the evil eye to Cian, when they ask her why she looks so bad she tells them he kept her up all night talking and how people are crazy for not getting any sleep she goes off…..“Don’t they have to go to work the next morning? Don’t they have things to do? How do they do it? I don’t get it. What’s the big freaking deal? But nooooo, I had to listen to his annoying voice all night until the damn clock blasted my damn ear off!” Of course Cian just sat and grinned which made her even madder…LOVE IT! The milkshake incident was just out of this world, I wonder how many of us wish we had the balls to pull that off. And then there was when Skye went off on Cian cousin you don’t want to miss that fight…you have so much to look forward to with this read.To have a friend like Skye is out of this world, no matter what she knows you and things aren’t always as they seem. Even when things look stack against you, your BFF should know you are innocent and stand beside you not behind but beside you all the way. Skye’s BFF is the most amazing person who stands beside her women no matter what.This was a wonderful read, with wonderful characters for a very even flow throughout the book which you do not want to ever put down. It is mainly about Skye and Cian but the author has love stories inside of love stories in this book. Each character would make a wonderful read on their own but together it makes this an outstanding read that will have you rolling with laughter.Sky is sarcastic, with a kick-ass attitude she is stubborn and abrasive with the heart of a lion along with the roar of a tigers fighting to keep her cubs safe. She hides her loving heart behind her sarcasm which people who knows her see through. She lost her mother at a young age and finds it hard to trust anyone. She is a standalone kind of person who not only takes care of herself but those around her. She does for herself never asking others to do for her, her friends come before herself and there isn’t anything she will not do for a friend.Cian is a love them and leave them kind of man, there is no women alive that can hold him for long until Skye. It takes him a few to understand that Skye is the only women for him. It takes him even longer to make her realize he is the man for her. He loves to annoy her, she is so cute when she is mad. He takes every chance he can to get under her skin from calling her the most dearing names which she hates to trapping her into doing what he wants. You have to smile and chuckle at all his little stunts.McKade wrote a fantastic story with wonderful secondary characters which stand out who will keep you laughing through all their little stunts which keep the ball rolling while keeping Skye and Cian on their toes. There is enough romance in this story to keep every reader happy and smiling along with wanting more. Each couple is the perfect match, each bricking at the other adds to the story to make it a wonderful read. It was a nice change to read a story where the male is female and female is male. That is a little confusing isn’t it? Most females start the lovey-dovey stuff but here it is the male who takes that ball and runs with it. Once you read the book you will understand, it so makes this book well worth the read. They put this under contemporary romance but I am torn between that and a comedy which for me it is both.McKade writes a beautiful story which keeps you wanting to never put this book down. Stories inside of stories blend together so well that will leave you asking for more. You really should pick up this book and give Holding Out for Skye a read it will fast become one of your favorites. I am so looking forward to reading more of this author work.  Thank you S.R. McKade for writing such a wonderful fun loving, heart breaking read it was just what the doctor ordered.
