Do you know the feeling that you have when you find a book that is pure gold? I’m not talking about a book someone has recommended to you, but a book that you found all by yourself. Well, Holding Out by Lila Rose is one of THOSE books.As soon as I started reading this book, it held me its grip and it wouldn’t let go. This book has everything! Well everything I like in a book. Let’s start with the characters. I loved them all except the bad guys, but I’m not going to talk about them.First of all, Zara, the main character. This is a woman I would want as my best friend. I don’t want to spoil the story, but Zara made me laugh so many times I couldn’t count them. Her inner monologue and creative use of language (she has a 6 year old) is awesome.  Then there’s Talon aka Mr Hotness, but he is so much more than just being hot. He’s alpha male who know how to look after his woman.Deanna, Zara’s best friend, is a hoot. She definitely has no problems expressing her feelings, but she is also able to curb her language when around Deanna’s daughter, Maya. She had me laughing as well especially when I found out her job. I can’t wait to find out more about her in the next book. There are also so many minor characters that I loved, but I’m not going to talk about them all. I’ll let you discover those ‘gems’.I found this book extremely difficult to put down. It kept me awake last night and every chance I could grab during the day, I had to sit down and read a bit more until I was finished. I actually felt deflated when I was finished. It is one of those books that you don’t want to end. And now, unfortunately, I have to wait for the next one in the series.I gave Holding Out 5 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough stars to express how much I loved this book.Written by Karen from Confessions of a Bookaholic
