Let Her Go
A second chance at love is a fight to the very end. Guys like Alex Sullivan don’t come around every day, but when they do, they aren’t looking for girls like Morgan. She is the unexpected one, the unplanned daughter of parents who don’t want her; she has always stood in the shadow of her beautiful-but-dead twin sister. So when Morgan lands a marriage proposal from the handsome businessman, she pounces on the opportunity. While Morgan is basking in the joy of feeling wanted for once, Alex’s untimely death sends her life into a downward spiral, and she’s left picking up the pieces while the tabloids, pesky neighbors, and an eight-point buck haunt her. The only thing keeping Morgan grounded is her new found love of running. And then there’s her newly acquired business partner, stoic MMA fighter Nick “The Strangler” Stacks. Morgan and Nick have never been able to get along, but Alex’s tragic death forces them to interact when he leaves the two as owners of his successful gym. After years of tepid interactions, Morgan and Nick finally find that they have more in common than they previously thought, and it’s enough to make one of them want to tap out on their disastrous relationship for good.

I received a copy through Kindle Scout. First of all I just want to say that I follow the author on Facebook and she cracks me up on a daily basis. Her sense of humor, although a bit odd, is refreshing and original. I can understand why she writes the way she does.
Let Her Go does not disappoint. The addition of the 8 Point Buck in the plot is a bit out there, but I honestly find that it fits with the story. Being an Upstate New Yorker myself I can understand The frustration that Morgan Sullivan has with this creature. I think my only gripe about the story is Morgan's attitude. She is a bit exhausting for the reader in regards to the way she puts herself down all the time. At first I felt sorry for her and a little angry at the way she had been treated by her family, but as the story went on I wanted to yell at her and tell her to get some damn self respect.
This is a great story of finding love, losing it, and then slowly finding it again in a way that the MC would never expect with a few plot twists thrown in for good fun.

The writer keeps you wanting more from the time you start reading until your on the last page. Then you don’t want the book to end.

I'll start out by saying that I really enjoyed this book. It made me cry, it made me smile, and held my attention all the way through, which is not an easy thing for me as I get bored fairly quickly. This book is about Morgan, the less attractive, less loved sister who can't believe her luck when she meets and marries gorgeous, sweet Alex. Her happiness quickly fades after he loses his life in a tragic accident. To deal with her grief Morgan takes up jogging. She also winds up getting closer to her husband's business partner and eventually the two of them become more than just friends. There are quite a few twists and turns and ups and downs along the way. I really enjoyed Morgan's character. Yes, she went on and on about being unattractive and not as loved as her sister, but truthfully that side of her appealed to me. It made her more real. I've been in her shoes, and felt some of the things she does. Truly, Let Her Go is a beautiful story that I'm telling all my friends about because it's just that good.

Wth did I just read? I feel like I need to pinch myself and make sure I haven't been abducted by a gang of talking marshmallows with pitchforks. No kidding! I shit you not!
This is the weirdest, most nonsensical book I've ever read in my entire life!
Where the hell to even start?
She's Invisible... I got it the first 100 times.
The female MC is very self-depreciating, woe is me. Yes, her parents are asses and I get that she's been put down her entire life, but I can get her emotional standpoint of feeling fat, undeserving of her "perfect" husband, & unloved and unwanted by her parents without being told HUNDREDS of times by her inner monologues. I'm not exaggerating here... Hundreds of times you will listen to this chick self-depreciate herself or describe someone else putting her down.
^ FYI for authors: Overkill on such points turns what should be reader empathy into reader apathy to her plight & turns a relatable character into whiny annoyance.
Oh Gawd how I wish I could say this is the worst part. But, truthfully, the whinny self depreciation turns out to be the lesser evil here. Yeah, stop and think on that for a minute before you buy this book!
Overdramatized
She refers to herself as middle-aged. She and Alex only knew each other 3 wks before marriage and were only married around a year when he died. Point being that only a year of her life was spent with Alex, but her narratives are often defined by "since Alex is gone".... As if he took up this huge chunk of her life?!? "Since Alex is gone, I have to do things myself now, like mow the lawn." His presence in her life was overdramatized. His importance in her life is Overdramatized! She pines after his memory and every f'ing thought, action, and scene in the book centers around Alex directly or indirectly... yet she never thought she even deserved him or was confident in his feelings for her. It's equal parts melodrama and weird.
Absurd Shit
He lived as an unassuming gym owner, an all American small town nobody. Yet, tabloids are taking pictures of her at the accident site, TV news programs air her at the accident, his death trends on Twitter for years, & tabloids are stalked out taking pictures of her for the anniversary of his death for years afterward. Really? F'ing movie stars don't get this degree of attention! Have no fear... The town's mayor bans the media from town ~ okay, that's legal and likely to ever f'ing happen!
Weird Shit
OMG TWO YEARS post Alex's death: "I still haven't washed the bedding. It's gross, I know. But sometimes I still smell him on it." Good Mother Of Gawd! Guess what? These f'ing sheets don't get washed for over 3 years! I'm speechless, yeah, just yeah!
There's an eight-point reincarnated deer!!! This reincarnated deer steals garden spikes, leaves a rose on Valentines, stalks and attacks people, eats butterscotch candy from an old lady, etc.. Shocker... The deer is her dead husband, Alex. Again, I'm just speechless. I really don't even know wtf to say to this.
She's an ER nurse. So why the hell would she look at a cut and ask: "Do you think you need stitches?" Shouldn't the nurse be telling whether he needs stitches? This author just seemed to spew random shit into the book with no thought whatsoever.
Why are you with me she asks.."You glow, Morgan. You shine. You twinkle." Omg guy ignores her and never speaks to her ass for years. All we hear is how plain, ugly, and invisible the chick is and ^ this twinkling shit is his reason for wanting her. Really? Come on!
Really? This Is The Plot~
Initially, you wonder if there were other reasons aside love as to why Alex married her, WTH Alex's parents sudden odd visit was about, why Nick cares but acts like a mute ass, why Nick would not attend his Bff's wedding and ignored Morgan the entire time she was married to Alex, etc? Most of these plot points are just leading, but never go anywhere and never mean shit! They're just insinuations that never get readdressed.
Follow along here...
•Morgan is invisible to everyone but Alex.
•Alex wants the "American dream," which includes (apparently) marrying a plain Jane that's invisible and "pudgy."
•Alex is BFF with Nick.
•Morgan has a twin that died on prom night.
•Nick went to high school with Morgan and her twin.
•Somehow beyond any stretch of imagination Morgan does not know Nick from high school and did not know he was in the car with her sister when she died. Why? Well shit didn't we already establish that Morgan is invisible to everyone but Alex?!
•Morgan marries Alex and only knows Nick as his BFF.
•Alex dies.
•Morgan is now not so invisible to Nick. *weight loss;)*
•Nick and Morgan get together 3 years post Alex's death.
• What an f'ing coincidence... Nick was in the car that killed Morgan's Twin.
• But it's okay,., he talks to her parents and explains how he wasn't really driving and just let the twin drive drunk. Bam... parents are a okay now!! Ik I feel better!
• Since Morgan saved him (who the hell knows how.. I sure don't), he's going to now save Morgan (she's broken because her husband that she really didn't trust loved her died, remember) and with that load of horse shit, abrakazam Mfers all is solved and hunky dory for Morgan.
Cue a talk with the deer to clear the air of a new love and we can have everyone drive off into the sunset.
Bottom Line<\b>
My advice... Click the X and get the hell away from this book as fast as you can!

4 STARS. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Morgan Sullivan has always been seconded throughout her entire life. She was the unwanted one, the unexpected one. Growing up being ignored and criticized so harshly by her mom -- who doted on her beautiful twin sister -- she became a girl full of insecurities and horrible opinions of herself. Her sister was the beautiful, athletic talented one and boys sought her out. It all became a lot worse when her sister died. So when a male finally showed an interest in her and proposed to her a few weeks later, she married him on a whim.
It was all well but then her husband died and she was left feeling unwanted again. She’s left picking up the pieces of her shattered world while the tabloids, pesky neighbors, and an eight-point buck seem to haunt her. And then there's Nick Stacks who was ever present during her grieving process. Friendship then blossomed between the two, and we know what happens next.
This book is written in a diary format from April 2010 to November 2013. The author did a great job with setting the atmosphere of the story. I felt Morgan's emotions and insecurities to the bone, it's almost terrifying. Her emotional growth, character development seems very real. Her relationship with Nick Stacks didn't just develop over a day but it developed gradually and you know I'm a sucker for a well-written relationship build-up!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely be reading more books from this author.

Contemporary romance is not my preferred read, but I don't mind it now and again, and this book is pretty much a perfect example of the genre without being at all derivative. There are many unique elements in the story of Morgan's journey to finding love again.
Pritchard has a way of writing here that affected me on a physical level - reading about Morgan going on her runs that could be both punishing yet therapeutic made me feel like throwing on some sneakers and hitting the road myself (don't worry, I talked myself down and stayed inside to keep reading instead). In scenes where she grabbed a beer, I had the sudden urge for a brew of my own (much more compatible with reading!)
One of the nicest aspects of this book is that between the loss of one love and the discovery of another, Morgan undergoes her own personal transformation and comes out a happier person on the other side. A bittersweet yet in the end hopeful story that I recommend to all fans of contemporary romance.

What a sweet story, although there are so many heart-breaking moments. I know what it feels like to be the not-as-pretty sister, the one who's less popular and hides in the background, so I can empathize with Morgan. The feeling of self-doubt and worthlessness that a smile or kind word can ease, if only for a moment. A touching story about coming to terms with who we are. And... I love the deer and all the nasty things it does to the neighbors... and deservedly so.

I really liked this book and would have given it a 4 star review if I had not felt like somethings were left unresolved. I wish we had been given more insight into Alex. Why did he keep his wealth a secret? What made him fall in love with Morgan? Did he ever talk to Nick about her? I feel like discussing Alex more would also have given more depth to Morgan and Nick.

I'm a winner of this book through GoodReads First Reads Giveaways.
Morgan Sullivan has felt like the least important person in the world her entire life; overshadowed by her twin sister Tori, even after her sister's death as a teenager, and deemed herself unlovable by any wonderful man... until she met Alex, who she agrees to marry after two weeks of knowing him. She doesn't understand why a guy like him would want a woman like her. After being married for a few years, Alex dies in a motorcycle accident one morning after hitting a deer, and Morgan witnesses this event herself; it tears her apart. She had no one else of importance except Alex in her life, as her parents and family have made her feel unwanted her entire life.
Shortly following Alex's death, Morgan learns she has been left in Alex's will to his secret millions of dollars, as well as half of the ownership to the gym Alex ran; the other half goes to Alex's best friend, Nick Stacks, an MMA fighter. Morgan finds Nick to be standoffish and cold, and doesn't particularly like him, although she refuses to sell him her half share of the gym. Morgan doesn't get involved with Nick or the gym until she receives several late notice bills for the gym that Nick isn't taking care of. She marches down and insists on paying the fees, seeing as she was left so much money she doesn't want to use anyway. From then on, Morgan and Nick develop an awkward business relationships, to an awkward friendship, and as things gradually get less awkward, a romantic one.
One thing I wasn't expecting was all the stuff with the deer, and I loved it. I love deer. I loved the symbolism of Alex as the eight pronged deer... the only thing about that that bugged me a bit/left unexplained was that it takes years for a deer to gain that many prongs, so he couldn't have exactly reincarnated as some characters claim. Was he simply a spirit in the form of a deer? Is he trapped there until both he and Morgan can let eachother go? That's what I like to think, anyway.
I read this book all within a day, because it was great and I wanted to keep going. It was a great mixture of contemporary and slight paranormal with the deer aspect. Morgan was a character you could feel and sympathize with, as well as Nick. Even Alex; but I didn't see what was so great about him as a human. In deer form, you could understand the hurt and longing he was feeling,
I would recommend for people who enjoy contemporary, romance, new adult, and if you couldn't already tell, fans of deer!

A tale of loss and live that is tough to let go…
If you’ve ever lost anyone dear to you, the world becomes your enemy, time both your bane and you salve and everything around you crystallizes into either a ritual that enables you or an enormous, relentless irritant that drives you bad into the darkness. The beauty of M. R. Pritchard’s, Let Her Go, is the way the author frames her wounded characters with this bi-polar world. She roughens them, wears them down and lets the reader share in their pain.
The protagonist, Morgan, is one such soul that has been all but beaten, tangled up in her grief, in her loss, and holds onto to her guilt in the infinitely relatable method of retreat and self-loathing. It’s refreshing to have a lead with a sense of genuine pain – one who holds on to palpable anger rather than falling into the trap of being a sarcastic, crying-on-the-inside clown. As this is a romance, Morgan must find her match, and Pritchard provides a worthy companion, Nick, a man who battles his demons more directly by actually pummeling others in a cage.
Perhaps it is this perfect imperfection in the characters that makes the deft methodical plotting a trifle jarring towards the end. Readers who prefer raw, ambiguous endings may be left wanting, but those who take pleasure in an author stitching and weaving an intricate and tidy finale will find Let Her Go impossible to forget.

Brilliantly flawed characters
Morgan’s a nurse. Alex, her husband, owns a gym. Three months into their marriage Alex dies in a motorcycle accident where he collided with an eight point buck. In Alex’s will, he leaves ownership of his gym to Morgan and to his best friend Nick.
Grief and pride keep things prickly between Nick and Morgan for the longest time. Their partnership moves along in awkward fits and starts as each struggles with their inner demons and emotional baggage. People pressure them to move on, to let go of their grief, but they can’t. They just can’t.
Kindle Scout winner Pritchard puts readers through the wringer with this tear-jerker. The novel has surprising depth, breadth, and texture. The brilliantly flawed characters stay with you long after the last page is turned.

The only thing I'm sure about with this book was that the heroine's parent's needed b*tchslapping and she needed some therapy. I hated that her father never shared her mother's illness and left the heroine to deal with the treatment she received alone and unsupported.
I hated that her husband never trusted her to share his situation. And his parents - that was just beyond belief weird.
The romance, such as it was, was built gradually and was nice, but the twist that was added to it, was unnecessary.
I think this story would have been much stronger showing the heroine having some emotional growth from her childhood and recovering from her husbands death, then considering a romance.
I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't look for further books by this author.

Truly Spellbinding
The reader-discovered novels of the Kindle Scout program are like a box of assorted chocolates. While there’s a wide variety to choose from, they are all wonderfully satisfying. M.R. Pritchard’s “Let Her Go” is no exception.
Yes, there is romance in this story. But “Let Her Go” delves deeper than that. There are moments that will tug at your heartstrings, moments that will make you laugh, and moments that will have you celebrating the power of love. This is a story with soul.
The interplay between Morgan and Nick is so very compelling, and the supporting characters in the story are just as intriguing. The combination makes for a truly spellbinding literary treat you won’t soon forget.

Having always wondered what it would be like to have a twin, this book drew me in from the beginning. Pritchard delves deeply into the inferiority complex that Morgan has dealt with her entire life. Since Morgan has always felt unwanted, unloved, and invisible, she isn't able to enjoy or even fully accept what should be her happily ever after. I couldn't help but root for Morgan as she struggled to deal with the tragedies in her life. She's the ultimate underdog, and I very much wanted things to work out for her. Did they? Read the book and find out. It's an enjoyable journey. I found this book through Kindle Scout. It's yet another fantastic book to graduate from that program.

Let Her Go is a first person account of a young woman's grappling with her life's very tragic events. I personally love reading first person if it is well done -- and Pritchard certainly does a stellar job -- because I learn so much about the character. In this story Morgan Sullivan so resonated with me that the entire book was like a subsonic wave, vibrating my bones. Truly beautiful. I wanted to stop by and give the author five stars, my congratulations, and also my thanks. This book really means something to me.

I love books that will pull you in and Morgan's story did that for me. She's the nurse that I thought I would be as a child. I haven't followed that career concept but it's exciting to think about and maybe it will happen. I cried when she lost Alex, felt her agony about using her cell phone and social media. Her anger at the deer, I completely agreed with, but I thought half way in about Natasha asking Morgan to call her once Morgan figured out what Alex was reincarnated as. It made me cry. This book I will definitely recommend to others.

I received this book as an ebook free through Kindle Scout in exchange for an honest review. This is a contemporary romance novel about love, loss, relationships, family, tragedy and rediscovering life. The characters are fully developed with secrets and demons that whet the reader’s interest. The author writes in a way that makes the reader feel a full range of emotions. This is a book about life and all that it can throw at a person, how people struggle to move on and let go in the end. ‘Let Her Go’ is a well written book about flawed and vulnerable human beings.

I thought the book was great. Couldn't understand until towards the end of the book, why the book was titled, "Let Her Go" instead of "Let Him Go", since main character, Morgan couldn't come to terms with her husband's sudden death. A few twists and turns that makes you wonder, yes we have free will to decide what path to take, but it seems inevitable that some folks are in your life regardless. Don't want to give away any spoilers, but appears that she was destined to meet Nick.

Heartwarming
I received this book free for a kindle scout nomination on Amazon. I loved it. Alex's death is heartbreaking. I was so sad for Morgan. She had so much loss in her life. So did Nick. After a long battle they end up with their hea. I really enjoyed that two broken people helped to fix each other.

Of what I expected
This is a really good book. I was expecting it to be about the death of a sister. It however was more complicated than that. It was a about the loss of a husband. The tangled relationship with her less than loving mother. It is about falling in love again. Learning to accept herself. I would recommend this book for those who love a happy ending.

Let her go
I hate the ending.... let me clarify that, I hate that it ended! Loved this book, I fell in love with Morgan and Nick. Theirs was a messed up relationship, but as you read you come to understand their hearts. Even loved Bucky, and his mysterious ways. Loved how the writer put the story line together, get the tissues out, you'll need them.

Simply Amazing
Saying that I could not put Let Her Go down would be an understatement. I read the entire book in one sitting. M.R. Pritchard, writes in a manner that makes you feel and fall in love with the characters. The love and tragedy become your own. Highly recommend.

Morgan and Nicks story is tough and hard to imagine but the strides they make to overcome those difficulties and try and find each other make an interesting read.

I received a free copy of this book from Kindle Scout.
This was my first book from this author. Morgan is the main character who seems to have so much going against her. She lives with regrets and what-ifs plague her. She has "self" issues but fixes other broken people. I had a hard time connecting with her, not because of her plight, but because of her "woe is me" attitude and whining. I liked Nick's character and his inward tenacity. This book would have been emotional, had I connected with Morgan. I enjoyed the overall story. The writing was okay, but there were things that editing should have fixed. I felt the story was predictable but a good read. There is adult language and scenes.
