She also can't deny she loves to kiss him-his mouth might be his most precious asset. Despite every promise to herself not to get involved any deeper than a first date, she can't keep from seeing more of Aiden . . . in more ways than one.Aiden Downey had no idea the hot blonde from the club would trigger his protective, gentle nature, but the moment she drops her guard and he sees the real Sadie Howard, he's a goner. When a family crisis puts the brakes on their budding romance, can Aiden find a way to hold on to her? Or will he lose the best thing in his life just as quickly as he found her? 25,000 wordsMy ThoughtsIn my opinionCan't Let Go (Love in the Balance)is a must read prior to book 2 in the seriesHard to Handle (Love in the Balance)because the back story to Sadie and Aiden's story is very important in setting up the story line in the 2nd book. Having never read the first book in the series we already missed the initial setup to the series and it would be best not to go any further with this particular couple without getting the full details on the beginning of their relationship and the reason why they broke up.I think you can safely say that a lot of this is covered in the full length novel after having read it but to me it is just a better idea to wait to read Hard to Handle (Love in the Balance #2) after having gotten the full details of Aiden and Sadie's romance.Can promise you it is well worth your time to read the novella, you will enjoy their full length story more if you do!Order to read books in Love In The Balance SeriesBook 1-Tempting the Billionaire (Love in the Balance)Book 1.5-Can't Let Go (Love in the Balance)Book 2-Hard to Handle (Love in the Balance)Book 3-The Millionaire Affair (Love in the Balance)[EArc from Netgalley in exchange for honest review]
