Holding Her Close is a nice 4**** read that is both sweet & sassy - just like our female MC, Rae. Our male MC, Zach, is a nice guy who has been hurt in the past by women he loved - including his first love, Rae. And this hurt, caused by both of them to each other, is something neither has been able to forgive or forget. Or move on from completely.Over the ensuing years, even though their lives could have intersected, they deliberately avoided each other until there was no way they could do it anymore. 10 long years had passed and each had grown up - hadn't they? But neither had gotten over the other, they realized, once they came face to face. In order to try and put the past behind them, Zach proposes, and Rae agrees, to one night together. The night they could have/should have had as high school sweethearts.As days and then weeks go by and "just this once" becomes "just one more time", Zach and Rae slowly rebuild the friendship and trust they had. But just when things are becoming interesting, reality steps in and these two may be forced to choose - between friends, between family, between dreams and between each other.Can these two find a way to have life and love and friends around them and live their dreams? Or will they continue be a couple (of people) who need to grow up and realize they belong together?
