Lauren Reynolds wanted only two things in lifeβ€”to run her father’s horse breeding business and Colt Matthews. Fearing Colt would take her position within the family business, she tried to push him far away from her heart.

When life could no longer keep Lauren and Colt apart, their two worlds became one. Every second of every moment, they spent together. Their love bloomed into something neither of them imaginedβ€”a bond so strong Lauren and Colt believed nothing would ever stand in their way.

However, life threw a cruel twist into Colt and Lauren’s planned happily ever after. Will fate let them live out the life they dreamed of, or will one of them be left alone, lost and angry?

β€œI’ll spend forever holding you … even if it’s only in my memory.”

HOLDING YOU is the story of Lauren and Colt. Β These two had been in love with each (without the other one really knowing) for a while, but stubbornness and misunderstandings have stood in their way. Β But one dance at their best friend’s wedding changes everything for these two.

I haven’t read the other books in this series, but it was pretty easy to pick up the dynamic between Colt and Lauren. Β They loved each, yet let things they’d made up in their own minds deter them from pursuing what they really wanted. Β And while I may not have believed one kiss on the dance floor was going to make everyone forget the fights and other nonsense, I was glad to see them get out of their own way. Β Would I have immediately jumped into bed with Colt instead of talking things through? Β Probably not. Β But it worked for this couple and got them to the point they needed to be.

This was a quick read that helped occupying a couple of hours. Β Colt and Lauren are young and they could get on my nerves, but in the end Kelly Elliott gave us a couple we could get behind.

Excerpt

Peeking over to Colt, my stomach dropped. The way he was looking at Mireya had my insides turning all gooey. His hand came up as he pushed her hair back and chuckled. β€œShe has so much hair, you could put those little Velcro bows in it.”

Dear God. He knew about the little Velcro bows? My heart was gonna explode. He kept talking and my insides kept melting. β€œWow! Her eyelashes are so long.” Glancing at me quickly, he gave me a wink. β€œIsn’t she so precious?”

If I hadn’t been holding the baby, I would have dropped to the floor and told Colt to take me. The throbbing between my legs was unreal. I was ready to blow off this little party Grace had organized and take Colt back to my house and have my wicked way with him.

Licking my lips, I couldn’t pull my eyes from Colt, who was now gazing down at Mireya and talking baby talk to her.

I felt someone come up next to me. Hot breath was next to my ear as Grace whispered, β€œDon’t even think about it.”
