*I received this book free from NetGalley on behalf of Random House Publishing Group – Loveswept in exchange for an honest review*With Independence Day quickly approaching I’ve been in the mood for good military romance books, which is exactly why I wanted to read this and it did not disappoint.Sometimes people can’t see what’s right there plain as day in their face. And sometimes it takes someone to point it out…even when that someone is a seven year old kid. Sam is pretty grown up for such a young kid and he has no problem speaking his mind when it comes to those he loves. He’s a vital part of this story and I loved him.Once upon a time Mira had decided to act upon what she wanted instead of what she was told and then she discovered that she wasn’t alone anymore. Finding herself pregnant at eighteen changed her plans and she put her dreams aside. But during the entire seven years of Sam’s life she never understood how strong she’d been, or how lonely she’d been, or how much she missed Sam’s father…until one day there he was and it changed everything.Jake wasn’t himself after coming back from war. He barely functioned. Then one day he walked into his physical therapy appointment thinking it was just another day, but instead he ran into the one woman who he’d never forgotten…and oh what a surprise he received from her.Emotions run high, love runs deep, and pain and failure pull hard in Hold on Tight. This is a story about a broken soldier needing to find his way back to life, a woman realizing she doesn’t have to be alone in order to succeed on her own, and about the importance of family and following your heart.My Favorite Moment: I loved how Mira knew just what to say to keep Jake from running away. The night she wouldn’t let him leave her house because she wanted him to stay, even if he didn’t want to talk, was perfect.
