⭐⭐⭐⭐ feelings feelings stars!


This is what we are. We fight. Claw, scratch, and tear each other apart. He’s an asshole and I’m a bitch. We bring out the worst in each other. It’s been this way since . . . I let him in.”


Hold You Close is a story about two lovers who were seperated by betrayal and brought back together by pain.

Ian Chance has always been in love with his sister's best friend London Parish, but when her future was on jeopardy, he backed off breaking her heart and leaving a bitter, hateful London instead of the one who was ready to sacrifice her studies for him.

Two decades later fate brought London and Ian together in a painful way that put both their loyalties before their war and taught them how to co-survive.

I loved the banter, the chemistry, the feelings that both London and Ian fought to hide and the vibe of the impossible love.

London is the sun, the stars, the light at the end of the tunnel that I’m so desperate to reach, but know I’ll never touch.”

Melanie Harlow and Corina Michaels did a great job coming up with a story that both swept the readers out of their feet, brought tears to their eyes and made their heart swoon with love.

You feel like home.”
