Nope. I never saw this book coming. Yes, I read the synopsis and I knew the basis of if and it has a fabulous cover, but I just didn't expect the amazing story behind the cover.Ally was ready to take the next step in life. Her boyfriend had just proposed and they were on their way home from the perfect evening. But in a blink of an eye, everything changes. Ally is faced with tragic loss and she knows that her heart may never heal. But she knows the only way she can face the future is to overcome the past. Life wasn't kind to her and dealt her a very tragic blow but, Ally comes out a stronger person for it. But when life throws her, quite literally, at a new adventure, she begins questioning whether or not she is ready.Life threw her right in the arms of Brody. Brody, the amazingly hot playboy. Brody has built a life for himself full of easy women and hard work. He is a hockey player and a bar owner and I often wondered how he even found time to entertain the countless number of women that entered his world, yes... Brody is a man whore. But a very hot and sexy one!That one chance encounter in the hall of a bar has him questioning how he lives his life. He must find out more information. As fate would seem to have it, that chance encounter turns into two and then three. Suddenly it seems unavoidable that they will continue to run into eachother. But could that all be chance or is one of them making the move and being subtle? Ally does her best to push Brody away. She can't be with him. But there is something there.The tragedies of both of their pasts collide head on and it takes a big toll on them. Will they be able to overcome it? Will Brody be able to give up his ways with women or will Ally just be another notch on the bedpost?Holding On To Love is a sweet and sexy read that will keep you begging for more. Ally and Brody have this amazing chemistry and I was drawn to both characters. I wanted Ally and her bestie for friends of my own and honestly, Brody is the kind of guy I could stare at all day. I love the characters because I could relate to them. I understood them and Ally's mouth that is filter-free is something I really appreciate, because my filter rarely works.The storyline has a lot of different twists and turns and ups and downs. I wasn't sure from one minute to the next if I would be smiling, laughing, crying or yelling. Yup, this book got me good. It was hard to put down.My only complaint about this book was I felt the ending was a little rushed, and when you get there you will understand. I just felt like it all happened to fast. The upside of that is that it kept me wanting more. I will be waiting anxiously for the next book!*I received a complimentary copy of Holding On To Love in exchange for an honest review*
