Description:
Brady Conners is hardly the settling type, but when tragedy strikes in his family, he has no choice but to return home to Hope, Oklahoma. Setting up shop to work on custom motorcycles and pass the time, Brady has no intention of letting anyone get close—until he meets Megan.
Pastry shop owner Megan Lee is drawn to quiet, brooding Brady. Their connection is undeniable, and it quickly develops from physical attraction into something much stronger. But with Brady putting up barriers, Megan is afraid to truly open her heart—unless she can convince him to let go of the past…
Review:
Don’t Let Go by Jaci Burton is the 6th book in her wonderful Hope series. The Hope series is another of those wonderful small town romances that revolve around families; not to mention you can never go wrong reading any of Jaci Burton’s romances.
Brady Conners, our hero, is a loner. He gets along with everyone in town, but tends to shy away from any attention. Brady lost his brother awhile ago, and though his brother died of a drug overdose, he still feels responsible. Slowly, despite his determination to not get involved, Brady does begin to enjoy the company of Megan Lee, our heroine, who owns the local bakery. Megan is a wonderful heroine, always bubbly, friendly and determined to get Brady to open up. She has always found him to be attractive, but she does have her work cut out for her.
What follows is a slow build romance that with Megan’s persistence to push Brady’s buttons, and the little dog that Brady is forced to adopt, he will slowly melt his hardened heart. Brady has to overcome his issue of blaming himself for his brother’s death, and allowing him not to shy away from the best thing that has ever happened to him….Megan. I loved seeing all the people from the previous books, which included all the McCormacks, and getting updates on them, as a few of them are now pregnant. It was nice to see Megan be able to rely on their friendship to help her through some of the difficult times ahead for her and Brady.
I always enjoy revisiting Hope, as the characters Jaci Burton has created are fun, romantic, and sexy. I love the family dynamics and the friendships that make this a special series. I will say that I did think this book had more sex scenes then the previous books, but Brady and Megan were a great sexy couple. If you enjoy small town romances, great couples, friendships, family, cute dogs, then you should be reading this series.
