I have been waiting for this to come up on my calendar to read.  I have watched the launch party, other bloggers enjoying the books, I have loved being a part of it.  (Thank you J.M. Witt for an early copy of Letting Go too!)  It finally arrived, the day I had planned to read Letting Go and I jumped right in.I really liked it. It was a hot steamy ride through a very … I don’t want to say fragile … but kind of delicate relationship.  I feel like if James had made just the wrong move in one direction, Cassidy would have definitely taken off, at least until she got to know more behind his explanation for… all those months ago. I will let you read the book. :)When I say hot and steamy, I mean hot and steamy, it was almost too much for me. Almost, not quite. Y’all know I like some raciness with my romance, so don’t be judging me as someone who just can’t handle it. :P  It wasn’t what they did (think a little lighter than FSOG), but how often that was the focus of the book.  Luckily, there was a great story line to go along with the hotness, so I was good.These two go through so much sadness and pain, it draws them together when they let it, it separates them when they let it do that.  There really is a beautiful story line of love and loss – or not quite loss yet – in one of their cases.  I cannot wait to see what comes next for them.  I think there will be a lot of struggles for them down the path of their relationship, but I also think they are going to come out of it stronger in the end.  I hope.I think the only thing that I can say I did not like was that it was almost too … real?  I tend to be one of those ladies for whom bodily functions do not happen in front of anyone ever and I prefer my characters to be the same.  Don’t laugh.  I know, it is not the 50’s.  Be kind.  I was raised that way.  Not that James was letting toots rip (I am cracking up as I type this), it just seemed like there was a huge focus on the need to pee. I was waiting for there to be a logical reason for it, I mean there is in another series that I love, the guy has a reason for why she needs to go to the bathroom after sex.  There really was no reason given, they just peed.  Maybe…. J.M. was just making them real life like we are, but I seriously will freak out on my husband if he walks in when I am in the bathroom.  It is just who I am.  I am a prude when it comes to bathroom stuff, not so much when it comes to my books.K.  Get it out.Done laughing at me?Let us move on.Great debut novel for J.M. Witt.  If you like your romances to be highly erotic with a great story line, you will love this book.You’re still laughing at me aren’t you? For the record, my husband is laughing at me too after I read that part of my review to him.Man, I hope she lets me read the next book after reading my review.:)
