Jade’s my best friend, my family, my world. It’s been over a year since she, my mom, and others were rescued from the warehouse— a place where she endured things no one should ever have to go through. She’s no longer the woman I remember, and what’s worse, she refuses to get help. But I need her to be okay. Hunter needs her to be okay. And I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure that happens, whether she likes it or not.
Jade’s story plunges immediately into the devotion of White Boy (Josh), whose entire existence revolves around Jade, his best friend and her son, Hunter.
“Won’t Let Go” is not a story of easy healing; it’s a gritty, painful journey through the wreckage left behind.
White Boy’s internal monologue is raw and heartbreaking: "She’s no longer the woman I remember." This single quote sets the stage for a high-angst read where Jade, shattered by her ordeal in the warehouse, refuses the help she desperately needs.
It is HIGHLY suggested that you read “23 Hours” before you read “Won’t Let Go” or you won’t fully understand Jade’s story.
My favorite quotes: “Josh kisses the top of my head. "In case you couldn’t tell, I love the *** outta you. You’re my family. Both of you."
““That she’s the only woman you’ll ever love.”” - Josh at 16
“I don’t know what tomorrow brings. I don’t know much these days… But I’m no longer dead inside.” - Jade
Bink is an exceptional author, and this book is a testament to this. This story is a reverse age gap, friends to Lovers, Motorcycle Club with a few triggers. These are past SA and a Suicide attempt, so if this triggers anything, please either read on with caution or then maybe this isn’t for you. Always read Author Notes.
Firstly, to get some idea of this storyline, can I suggest reading 23 Hours-Sacred Sinners MC. It contains a background on this storyline.
Josh, also known as White Boy, is a member of the Sacred Sinners MC Mother Chapter. Jade is 10 years older, a tattoo artist, and mother to her teen son, Hunter. Jade is also best friends with Josh’s mum, Loretta. White Boy has loved Jade forever, and after one night that almost changed their lives, he is determined to help Jade fight her Demons and to see her worth. It is a beautifully composed book, with your usual shenanigans that go on in the Sacred Sinners Club and what's a Binks book without a little crime happening. It is a story that proves that age is but a number, and sometimes love is just meant to be. I don’t give spoilers, so read for yourself.
You will love the character growth, and the ending will have you reaching for those tissues, so make sure you have plenty on hand. I would highly recommend it. I devoured it in 8 hours.
Wow! Bink never fails to write a compelling story and this is one of her most emotionally impactful to date. This Jade’s story in the aftermath of the trauma she endured in 23 Hours; and to truly understand Jade’s trauma and demons, I’d recommend reading it before diving into this one.
We open this book with Jade reaching the end of her tether having finally succored to the violent and unrelenting poison of unhealed trauma. But with the unrelenting and steadfast support of White Boy, she is able to once more find hope and the will to carry on. What unfolds is a beautiful tale of tender patience and unrelenting love.
White Boy the anchor in the unrelenting storm and the pure and unadulterated adoration he has for Jade is achingly beautiful to witness. He is gruffly honest and cheekily endearing. I loved being front row to the unveiling of their forever.
Bink’s newest addition to the Sacred Sinners is a raw and nuanced look at life and love after trauma. There is such sensitivity taken into account harrowing ordeal, and I cannot recommend it enough. Have your tissues ready for this viscerally truthful tale.
As always, please check content warnings as this deals heavily with possibly very triggering topics.
WOW, what can I say but holy cow! This story follows Jade and Whiteboy (Josh) through the emotional recovery from the horrific kidnapping and repeated rape when the ladies of some of the Sacred Sinners are taken by their rival. This is a follow up story following 23 hours (Gunz and Kits story). For you to understand what went down you need to read 23 hours first.
Jade is having a horrific time dealing with the trauma she went through to the point she wants to make it all stop forever. She believes the world would be better off without her and her PTSD that plagues her everyday to the point where she has shut everyone out who loves and cares about her. Josh blames himself for her attempted suicide because he wasn’t there for her and vows to help her heal and become whole again. Because he has been in love with her for so long and believes her to be his soulmate he knows that he can love her through her hell.
To those of you who are going to read this emotionally charged book please check your trigger warnings and if you are still okay, and I hope you are, bring a box off tissues. This book isn’t very long but it definitely packs a punch in your heart.
I’m usually an enemies to lovers fan but I knew from the get that this friends to lovers story was gonna get me! WhiteBoy (Josh) is such a beautiful soul who you absolutely knew was going to be Jade’s white knight - I just didn’t realize Jade’s story was going to evolve the way it did (you HAVE TO read 23 Hours to get it) my heart was completely destroyed after the trauma Jade faced. That book hurt on so many levels. This book continued to break my heart - as the shell of what was left of Jade shattered into tiny pieces in an epic way. However Josh wasn’t having it. He was there with bottles and bottles of super glue picking up each little shard of Jade and piecing her back together - loving her through it all.
I can’t get enough of the Sacred Sinners - they love hard and are an amazing family
ok so i personally prefer my bink books more angsty, dirty, gritty n dark.
this was sweet, it was gentle, it was a beautiful read. yes we have the dark aspect of jade's rapes but they're generally just alluded to.
what I loved, and what bink did amazing in this book for me was how she tackled the emotional trauma rape causes its survivors. it was so beautifully and expertly done.
this was simple yet sophisticated in its execution, the writing gentle yet hard hitting. a total oxymoron.
as with her latest books we see n benefit from binks maturation in her writing.
oh n yeah read it in one go, don't pick this up without getting cosy and setting aside a couple of hours cos once you pick it up you won't put it down until you've completed it.
only critique- wtf bink wearing flip-flops on the back of a motorbike?? :)
Another amazing book by the amazing author Bink Cummings. I fell in love with both the main characters in this story, from everything Jade went through to all that White Boy did for her and her son. I know firsthand some of the trauma and being a survivor and also having a great support system. I fell in love with White boy’s strength in never giving up fighting for both himself and Jade even when Jade wanted to just give up. If you have triggers please stop reading if you can get past them so you can enjoy this beautiful book. It was so great how the brothers and sisters got together and gave strength to be there for each other. Just amazing.
What an amazing read, I couldn’t put it down. White Boy is such an awesome brother, friend, lover and protector. He is so funny and loving. Jade, what can one say, she has been through so much, survived it all but her instincts to survive and thrive are mere whispers in the back of her mind that no longer register, mentally she is drowning and her pain and anguish is felt through the pages of this book. I can’t say to much because you have to read “Won’t Let Go” to experience the highs and lows for yourself, it’s worth every flip of the page. A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤
There is so much emotion, passion, and trauma packed into this back left to be resolved. I always knew Jade and White boy would end up together I just didn’t know the story. There is so much trauma and pain Jade has to work through from a year ago. That it is so nice to see white boy never let up but also not handle her with kid gloves either. He knows when to push her and as stop. I think this is just the book all of us needed, to recognize there is always someone dealing with more than you know and may appear better on the outside. Always check on your friends or anyway. This was written so beautifully, Bink! I couldn’t put it down!
This was so incredibly sad and hard to read in parts, but it was absolutely worth it for the HEA. I’ve been looking forward to this one for ages so was thrilled to read it. It was way more than I expected. No spoilers, but I love a friends to lovers and “it’s always been you” storyline so this was exactly what I needed. It was a quick read. I wouldn’t call it an easy one because, like I said, there was some really hard stuff, but I got through it in a day. I love seeing more of these characters so hope we’ll see more in the future. Really enjoying this series and highly recommend it.
This is the third book in the Sacred Sinners MC - Mothers Chapter series. To fully appreciate this book, you need to have read ‘23 Hours’ first.
Bink, you have gone it again!! An absolutely incredible book. This one is such a tear jerker, it is an emotional rollercoaster. The chemistry between White Boy and Jade is off the charts! This book has many triggers, so please check these out before reading. This is a must read and one of my favourites of the year. 5 stars, no doubt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Get your tissues ready, your in for an emotional ride with this one. I absolutely loved this book. It was honest, it was real and it was heartbreaking and beautiful. If there were ever a more perfect book boyfriend than White Boy I haven't found him. He was the perfect combination of patient, kindhearted, loving and alpha. And Jade my goodness what she went through would have destroyed a lesser person, and it almost did destroy her, but she held on and it was so worth it. I loved this book from beginning to end, thank you for an AMAZING HEA for these two. They totally deserved it.
I absolutely love this book. I absolutely think you guys would love this book. You won't go wrong if you grab this book. Josh AKA white boy has the soul of a teddy bear or/ Golden retriever. He will be there for you when you need it. It also has a soft side. I absolutely love how he's with her. I understand what she gone through she is strong in my opinion for not giving up other than some stuff. This book is a cry scream book you'll need tissues. You get this book and it won't go wrongm Bink did an absolutely amazing job
Josh, aka White Boy, is a member of the Sacred Sinners MC Mother Chapter has been in love with Jade forever. Jade is 10 years older than White Boy and is the mother to her teen age son Hunter. After one night that almost changed their lives, White Boy is determined to help Jade fight her Demons and to see her worth. It is a great written book, with the normal shenanigans that go on in the Sacred Sinners. This story proves that age is just a number, and sometimes love is just meant to be.
You will love the ending and it will have you reaching for those tissues. I highly recommend it.
Jade is still traumatised and struggling more than a year after she and the Old Ladies were rescued and has given up on everything.
White Boy has loved Jade since he was a youngster, his mum’s best friend is so much more to him than even she realises. He digs his heels in and plants himself with her 24/7 to become her anchor.
I loved this emotion packed story with twists, danger and Sacred Sinners MC family. White Boy just melted my heart. I would definitely recommend reading the previous book 23 hours first.
Loved this book but not surprised Bink's books are awesome I can never pass up!!! I love Josh he's compassionate, caring, sweetheart. He'll fight for those he loves. He and Jade have been friends for years their story is friends to lovers with trauma in between loved every minute of it. The trauma Jade has gone through it is heartbreaking, but Josh AKA White Boy has stood by her side through it all and helped her and her son navigate through the storm and come out stronger on the other side.
This is an amazing book about White Boy & Jade this is a rollercoaster ride of emotions read but it is so worth it. White Boys books is full of different emotions such as love, hurt, pain and so much more and it is full of twists and turns please read 23 hours before diving into this read. In this one you will laugh, and cry and get in your feelings but it is so worth it Bink you threw in everything but the kitchen sink sis with this one.
LOVED this story!! Make sure to read 23 Hours for full context to this story. Bink as always sucks in you in from page 1. This one is a Friends to Lovers; Age Gap Romance. Jade and White Boy pull at your heart and ALL the tears. Please be sure to read the triggers. This one starts really really rough but pulls you back through with a few more tears and a laugh or two. Jade is broken and shattered by what she's been through. Josh (White Boy) is her white knight who just wants to help put her back together again with love and a little tough love when needed.
I laughed, cried, yelled and literally sobbed at this story. I can honestly say there's a weird feeling as I read this book. It captured feeling I thought were long ago locked away. The author sure can get into your mind so you feel like these characters are right there with you , by your side and it's truly a book that you will want to reread. She touched on so many taboo subjects with heart wrenching feelings. Definitely one of my top 5 books this year
Absolutely love this book! Not surprised by that considering the author 😉💕Bink brought out so much in this book and once again used her fabulous words to take us through this story and bring us back whole! ! It was so many things for me: heart wrenching, sad, tearful, but also heartwarming, love of family, and second chances at life!! White Boy’s book is like no others!! A must read, but be prepared for some tears! 🥰
White Boy and Jade’s story was absolutely beautiful. This was quite a journey for both characters: So grateful for authors who are realistic in their portrayal of mental health issues and aren’t afraid to take on hard topics. There was nothing easy about Jade’s journey, but that she survived and triumphed is inspiring to all. Bravo to Bink Cummings. To write a main male character like Josh, the best kind of man, may every woman be so lucky to find one of their own. I can’t wait for more in this series.
I couldn't wait for this book to come out. You did not disappoint! Jade and White Boy has become one of my favorites. What a ride this was. Jade had to fight such an awful battle. One she almost gave into. White boy didn't let her down though and struggled right along with her to help her find peace. The authors note at the end had me in tears. You keep going too like the bad-ass you are. Don't let nobody take your shine Bink!
Bink has done it again!! This book brings all the feels and emotions you thought you never could have.
Jade has been through a horrific experience and feels like only one way out is the only way. Josh saves her in the nick of time and puts into play some tough love to show her how much life can be worth living especially for her son.
Please adhere to the trigger warnings for this book.
What Jade went through in 23 hours (best read prior) haunts her every moment till she cant keep going any more. Fortunately fornher and her son Hunter she has WhiteBoy, her best friend who wont ever give up on her no matter what. This ones an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions, dark themes, trauma, healing and more a great addition to the series
Jade and Josh/White Boy's story is absolutely heartbreaking! My gosh the trauma she lives through is horrible. Josh is completely fantastic! He's such a tremendous support and his actions are the very definition of love. Won't Let Go is a great friends to lovers, age gap journey that's totally consuming. It gives you all the feels and is the perfect one sitting read!
I do love a friends to lovers romance and White Boy and Jade are the best of friends! I loved how hard he loved her, he just was not willing to let her go when she was feeling self-destructive and, slowly, he broke through her shell. It is part of a wider series and makes more sense if they are read in order but can be read as a stand-alone. Check the TW too as there are some dark references.
Received book as a ARC read. White boy aka Josh is beyond perfect. He is got a heart of gold but fire to make you feel loved,protected and cared for. Jade lord this woman has been thru it. The book will pull at all of your heart strings and make you feel every inch of her pain. Great job Bink! You my dear write with grit, strength and heart. Loved it!
I knew going in to this book, it was going to be good. The story of White Boy and Jade has been a long time coming and it did not disappoint. This is the type of book you didn’t know you needed to read until you’ve read it. It healed some things I didn’t know needed to be healed. It might break you down at first but it will definitely build you back up stronger than you were.
Wow! This book starts off with a punch to the solar plexus! Jade and White Boy have serious chemistry once they let themselves see there's more to their friendship then just being friends.
White Boy has loved Jade and her son for a long time now and will do anything/everything to make her happy.
A great story of friendship, age gap and seeing what it means to White Boy to love.
I usually love Bink’s stories but this wasn’t a fav of mine. I think it was more of a me issue than the writing. It was just too heavy for me. Yes, I couldn’t have not read it but I wanted to read White Boy’s story.
