Brilliant…Nicola does it again, and I was extremely excited for this one, and it didn’t disappoint what so ever! This is book 3 in the Take My Hand series, and it’s Jared and Rachel’s story, which happen to be my two favorite characters. So we get the opportunity to have both POV’s, and it’s an interesting mix of emotions for sure.Rachel and Jared have become extremely close, since her best friend Emily is still in the states with Dex, dealing with his issues of drug addiction. Rachel feels somewhat alone and lost without Emily by her side, and therefore the relationship between her and Jared becomes more than she ever expected.Rachel is as independent as they come, even with her disability; she’s a major force to be reckoned with. Don’t ever tell her she can’t do something, because she will go out of her way to prove you wrong, and you will never win that war! She’s freaking hilarious too, the mouth on her can rival any trucker in sight. Jared sees that free spirit in her, and realizes he wants more than friendship, and will fight until he gets what he wants, and what he wants is Rachel. These two together are a riot, and they’re definitely one of my favorite book couples of all time!Jared also has his own demons he’s hiding, and when the truth comes out, Rachel is there to comfort and support him, even when he’s fighting against it. We’ve only seen him as the fun-loving, fly by the seat of his pants guy, so seeing him so vulnerable was a heart breaker. He’s also extremely loving and goes out of his way every chance he gets to profess his love and adoration for Rachel…OMFG…can we say over the top swoon worthy? Not to mention the scorching sex these two have, which may or may not include a helpful little device…LOLLife altering situations take shape throughout the story, and you’re definitely left thinking whether or not this is going to turn out for the best. It shows how strong people can be when put in a position that may seem out of reach. I can’t wait for the continuation in Never Let Go, of Rachel and Jared’s story, and the return of Emily and Dexter. They were definitely missed!
