Hold Me releases tomorrow!
Synopsis:
My life with Damien has never been fuller. Every day is a miracle, and every night I lose myself in the oasis of his arms.
But there are new challenges, too. Our families. Our careers. And new responsibilities that test us with unrelenting, unexpected trials.
I know we will survive—we have to. Because I cannot live without Damien by my side. But sometimes the darkness seems overwhelming, and I am terrified that the day will come when Damien cannot bring the light. And I will have to find the strength inside myself to find my way back into his arms.
My Review:
Hold Me is the newest work from author J. Kenner and is also novella number eight in the 2017 1.001 Dark Nights lineup and I have to say…Ms. Kenner has once again written a story I swooned over! This book was just so many things!
So here’s the thing….Julie Kenner could write my weekly grocery list and it would be freaking amazing. I mean there is nothing this woman can’t write. I’m telling you, nothing. But here’s the thing with this particular story…it was so darn relatable and it resonated with me (and I have a feeling it with a lot of you) on so many levels. Yes, Nikki and Damian have gone through tough times and, yes, the emotion throughout their series of stories are amazingly moving but with this novella we get to see a layer of “normal” that I appreciated so damn much. In other words: a woman simply navigating life…motherhood, marriage, career, and self. The vulnerability both Nikki and Damien display in this story is beautiful and poignant and I loved it so much. I don’t want to spoil any of the feels for you but I will say that Nikki’s journey is one I think many woman can relate to an it’s one I personally enjoyed tremendously. I laughed and I cried while reading this novella and I want to thank Ms. Kenner for giving us this particular slice of Nikki and Damian’s life.
I hope you all enjoy Hold Me as much as I did…I’m pretty sure you will!
