Let Me Hold You by Alexandria House
4.0

Let Me Hold You was such a precious story and I am just LOVING this author and I am really seeing why so many have raved about her books. This was such a unique set up as well, with the hero being drawn to a heroine that is older. But there is a sense of forbidden as she is the mother of a man he has played with before and is highly possessive of her. We have a heroine who became a super young mother, but has a history of being with abusive men and her son is highly controlling especially when it comes to men that she dates. So when Leland and Kim get together, they keep it a secret. But it does put a strain on the relationship and I enjoyed how Leland does stand up the heroine on this being kept a secret. He isn't ashamed of being with her and also doesn't think its fair to her son to have this hidden especially as their relationship gets much more serious. I enjoyed seeing the forbidden theme within this story. You all know how much forbidden romance just is my catnip. I also was so eager to see how the fallout would be handled. And yeah it gets intense but I did enjoy what is revealed in the end. I can't wait to keep going with this series and exploring more of this author's work.
