4.5 StarsA touching story with interesting characters that you can't help but connect with. I know loss, maybe not as deep as Natalie but I lost my mom when I was kid and it left its marks. I know what's it's like to fear and let that fear rule you. When you experience death firsthand, it makes you realize how quickly life can be lost and so the fear starts to creep in like a disease - be it to fear life, to fear death and/or to fear love. All three make you extremely vulnerable, open you up to all sorts of pain and sometimes its easier to just shut yourself off. Eventually you get to the point when you realize you'll either spend the rest of your life hiding, never really living or you can jump head first and experience everything life has to offer. Unfortunately more often then not, it takes baby steps and that's exactly what Natalie does, slowly she starts to rebuild her life after many losses and she's not sure if Mac is going to be a permanent fixture or not. What would any novel be without some complications and twists along the way, which only served to make this story that much more intriguing. Be careful, Beholden to You might just blow you away *winks*. I LOVED Beholden to You. This was my first Carlie Sexton novel and I'm not disappointed. Now I'll have to play catch up and read the novels this book is a spin-off of, Happy Reading!*ARC was supplied for an honest review
