Warning: Proceed with Caution, Cliffhanger ahead!Can't Let Go is a seven chapter novella, that focuses on two main characters Sadie and Aiden. This story starts out with Sadie and Aiden already going on their second date. Sadie is overly protective of her heart and has a strict dating policy; she only does first dates and that's it. But, she's breaking all her rules when it comes to Aiden. They only know each other for a few days, but feels as if they have a strong connection to one another. Things are going good until Aiden is faced with a family crisis and risks losing his new budding romance with Sadie.I believe there could have been a better development regarding Sadie and Aiden's relationship. Don't get me wrong, I did like Sadie and Aiden together. They did have some chemistry going on, but not enough sparks were there. Not only that, but I believe they could have been better fleshed out as characters as well. Honestly, everything including their relationship happened rather fast and so it didn't feel remotely realistic. They went on their second date and then ended up at Aiden's house almost having sex (but didn't) and then Sadie ended up spending the night cuddling with Aiden. Then Sadie suddenly had this revelation that she loves Aiden after a week of dodging and circumventing him. They also kept mentioning that they felt a strong connection to one another, yet I couldn't feel it.I just think that the story could have been better executed as a whole and be more fleshed out. However, while reading, I did enjoy the writing style of the author.Oh yes and just a little F.Y.I, the story ended at 66% (on my Kindle) with a cliffhanger. Ugh. I hate cliffhangers; I despise them. So when Can't Let Go ended on one, I just got frustrated.Now, I'm debating upon if I'll read the continuation of Sadie and Aiden's story in the upcoming novel, Hard to Handle. They're not particularly characters that jump off the pages and make me want to know more about them and dive deeper into their story so I'll see what happens.*I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
