His to Hold
Previous cover edition for the Kindle edition with ASIN: B07VQL55JB
I was in the middle of the biggest merger of my career when my love life took a nosedive. My now ex-girlfriend wouldn’t leave my apartment, so I moved into my office, only to be caught by my brothers one morning after I’d gone on a bender.
Angry and bothered that I’d violated company policies more than once I was put on a two-week forced vacation effective immediately. One week into what was supposed to be peaceful solitude to get my life back on tract, I decided to cut my trip short and return to work. Instead, I end up stranded at the airport during the worst snowstorm of the year.
That was when I saw her. Mia, my best friend’s sister, all grown up and intoxicatingly beautiful. It had been twenty years since we’d laid eyes on each other, yet the chemistry still crackles between us. Soon, one thing leads to another and we find ourselves riding out the storm in the most enticing way, tangled in bed sheets.
The girl who held my attention all those years ago, now holds my heart. But when we are forced to go head-to-head in the boardroom will our second chance be over before it even begins.

I couldn't put this one down. I haven't read any of the other brother's stories yet, but it didn't seem to matter when reading this story. I fell in love with Bryce and Mia from their first encounter. These characters has such great chemistry. This book had some emotional, funny, and sweet moments. This may have been my first book by S.L. Sterling, but it will most certainly not be my last!

Where to begin...? It's another Malone brother. Hmmm...Yummy! If you don't know what that means...check it out for yourself.
First,I have to say this.......I haven't made the time lately to read as many books as I usually do. Life sometimes gets in the way. Buuuut, I am THRILLED that I made time for this one!
Ahhhhh! I love me some Malone Brothers!!!! (Chase...are you gonna live up to your name? Lol)
This is Bryce and Mia's story. It's a long time coming story. Bryce is Mia's big brother 's best friend. Or at least he was...until a prank broke Mia's heart. Fast forward a few dozen years and Bryce and Mia find each other again. And all I'll tell you now is that, the waiting only makes their story sweeter.
A solid 5 star read! Loved it!

This is the first book that I have read of the Malone Brothers series. I enjoyed this story. I thought it was a quick and easy read. It was a friends to lovers/brother’s best friend romance. The characters and the story was wonderful. The chemistry between the couple was great. Bryce and Mia find themselves stranded in an airport and they decide to spend some time together. They were friends once before what is the worst thing that can happen. Watching them find each other again especially after both being in bad relationships was a great ride.

Why did it take me so long to discover this author?!?!?
I absolutely loved Mia and Bryce. At least now. Younger Mia and Bryce were idiots. This is basically a second chance romance since both lusted after each other when they were high school aged. Years later, they meet at an airport (snow allows no flights to leave) and get a second chance at love. (Both have just gotten out of horrible relationships.)
This is my first book by this author but not the first book in this series. I had no issues reading this one on its own.

I’m pretty sure this the first book I’ve read by SL Sterling, but it definitely won’t be the last! Even though I’ve started in the middle of the Malone Brothers, it didn’t take away from the story at all. It’s a brothers best friend romance that is steamy with pretty low drama. Both are workaholics, and are just out of relationships. Getting snowed in, made them slow down and take a breather. When Bryce’s law firm is handing a merger with Mia’s boss, she has to wonder if he was with her to get information? Or is he really the love of her life?
I can’t wait to binge read the rest of the Malone Brothers 😍

This is my first book by this author and won’t be my last. I found this book through BookSprout. I loved Bryce and Mia. These two have crushed on each other for year
s without knowing it and one night Bruce broke Mia’s heart, but what she didin’t know was he was tricked by her best friend. Mia is strong, sweet and a little over worked, and can never say no to anything when it comes to her job. Bruce is trying to pull his life together and getting rid of his ex and takes a few days away. Years later, heartbroken again, Mia is sitting at the airport when they run into each other. The spark is still there, undeniable attraction, he always stayed away because of her brother, but things are different now and he wants her and she him. These two are explosive together, deliciously sexy and steamy. Mia has a lot to work through with trust and love, will Bruce stick around to see the change in her? I could go on but I won’t, I don’t want to spoil this for you. I was unaware there are more books based on Bruce’s brothers so I will be grabbing those as well. Amazing read, highly recommend it. I can’t wait for Chase’s book!

Fun & sexy!
Bryce and Mia are such great characters. They know they have flaws. They also know how to overcome them. I love the Malone brothers. They stick together and help each other. Carter and Hunter come in handy for advice.
Thank you for the recipes. Those meatballs sound yummy!
I can't wait to read Chase's book. I'm sure it will be another great read.

This was wonderful. Mia and Brice are amazing characters who are, shock, flawed. They have doubts and reservations, but most importantly they have desire and chemistry.

We really enjoyed this story it had a great cast of characters and we loved where these two people got there second chances to get things right this time around and perhaps even finding their soulmate in its wake.
We loved the story from cover as we found the story to be cute and endearing and it was easy to fall in love with its main characters they were "oh," so love-able.
We found the story engaging and page turning and that it had a bit of a twist but, it was also about healing ones broken heart yet finding someone again in the most un-unusual places. "Now we call that a intriguing read !"
"We loved it and found it to be a really fun read that we thoroughly enjoyed!" We loved the chemistry between these two and how playful and fun they were with one another and that they made us laugh on more than a few occasions.
So looking forward to reading more about these tight nit brothers falling in love...

This is the 3rd book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Bryce and Mia grew up together and they end up bumping into each other when they are stranded at the airport. They decide to go back to Bryce’s lake house and sparks fly. I really liked this steamy second chance romance. The characters are great and the chemistry is steamy. The story is fast-paced but holds your interest throughout. I liked it.

This was a great read about second chances by S.L. Sterling. Mia and Bryce had chemistry that just could not be denied even after all these years. Mia is overworked and overstressed and finally going on her first vacation after 15 years. She thinks her boyfriend is finally going to propose. But instead of a proposal she gets a text breaking up with her while she is stranded at the airport waiting for her flight. Bryce is dealing with his share of stress in dealing with his ex who refuses to leave his condo. So his brothers send him on a much needed vacation. This is where Bryce and Mia reconnect. They spend an amazing week at his mountain cabin when they are snowed in. Old feelings and crushes are renewed and Bryce is hoping to get his second chance with the girl he has always wanted. Great story!
September 25, 2019
Another great read in this amazing series! I love these brothers and was so excited to get my hands on Bryce's story!
This was such a wonderful story and I couldn't put it down once I began reading. I was hooked from the first page and thought that the chemistry between Mia and Bryce was off the charts.
Knowing each other since they were younger the two each had little crushes, but nothing that they ever could act upon. Fast forward to the present and all bets are off now that the two are all grown up. Even though Mia isn't looking to jump into a relationship, their attraction can't be denied and sparks begin to fly.
This book is able to be read as a stand alone and is one that is ONE CLICK WORTHY for sure!

As kids, Bryce had a crush on Mia, who was the younger sister of his best friend Grant. Mia also crushed on Bryce, but thought he had no interest in her. In reality, Grant had warned Bryce keep his hands off. Fast forward to present day. Mia is stranded at an airport when Bryce shows up. He also cannot get a flight due to the snowstorm and he has a cabin nearby. They go there to commiserate together. The rest, as they say, is history. I really enjoyed this book because of the way the author handled the adult version of their friendship/relationship. S.L. Sterling is a new, to me, author, and I will be seeking out more of her books.

I absolutely loved Bryce and Mia's story, sort of a second chance romance blended with brother's best friend. Mia and Bryce run into each other at the airport, get stuck together at his lake house due to weather, and the chemistry is off the charts fantastic! S.L. Sterling does a wonderful job telling their story with laughter, sweet yet smoking hot steamy scenes, plenty of drama, and a beautiful HEA. You don't want to miss Bryce and Mia's story, definitely a must read.

First off I need more stars. Secondly I devoured this story and it was so good. I'm sorry to say that I haven't read the other brothers stories however I didn't feel I needed to to be able to enjoy this one. It was a brilliant storyline and the characters were well written and easy to read about. I would love to have read more about them to be honest but I absolutely loved this story how it was.

“Don’t go stay with me” she whimpered; Mia says to Bryce in chapter 7.
You’re hooked now right? It’s a good book. It has a solid story line and great characters that interact well. A good mix of intrigue, a few chuckles, a few tears, and a good ending.
This was a one sitting read for me. I enjoyed it from start to finish. The 5th star came from the intrigue alone.

A wonderful sweet steamy second chance romance. This interesting storyline had me engaged from the beginning with drama, bumps trust issues, and love. The characters are well developed and have amazing chemistry and each crushed in each other for years. An amazing journey to a HEA from two hard working people who have been hurt from. I voluntarily read and reviewed this incredible ARC.

Mia is a workaholic who is overworked, over stressed, and when her boyfriend dumps her on the first day of vacation by text, over him. She's stranded at the airport when this goes down, so I wanted to take her new ex out. Things take a turns for the better, when she runs into her brother's best friend, Bryce, who she's always had a thing for. Bryce is also stranded at the same airport as Mia, since he decided to cut his vacation that his brothers sent him on, short. His life is complicated with a big merger happening at his law firm, and an ex-girlfriend who won't get out of his condo. So running into Mia, the girl he's always wanted but couldn't go there because of bro code, is just what the doctor ordered. Since they're stranded, they decide to go to his cabin to ride it out while getting to know each other better, after not seeing each other for 20 years, and boy, Mia is all grown up now, making their chemistry shoot sparks off everywhere, and that chemistry won't be denied for long. So when said chemistry is done being ignored, they spend that week lighting the sheets (and/or any surface) on fire, and realize that maybe it's their time finally. However, once they leave their sexy bubble, real life really hits them hard, when it's Mia's boss is the one who his law firm is dealing with during merger, so Bryce finds himself across the board table from her, and this is when things take a dicey turn. She starts to wonder if Bryce spent that week with her to get information, and BAM! Just like that, there are communication issues which ramps up the drama. So, is Mia right in her thinking? Or is she finally getting that chance with her soul mate? You have to one click His to Hold immediately to find out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

His To Hold Arc Review
This is the first book I’ve read in the Malone Brothers series and I regret not reading the others before this with all the other characters backgrounds and stories I’ve missed out on that. I really liked the story though it was an easy read and you could tell that Mia and Bryce have such great chemistry and really care about each other. His To Hold is a really good second chance type romance and such a sweet story. Mia is a stubborn, busy body but all work and no play really makes your life go fast and you never realize things until its too late and that’s what happens when her boyfriend dumps her after feeling neglected. Mia gets left to drink alone at the airport while waiting on her flight for a vacation she is now spending by herself. Bryce having some of the same issues gets cheated on and can’t seem to focus on work and gets sent on vacation to get his life straight. After packing and leaving a note telling his ex to be moved out by the time he’s ready for some much needed time away. Stuck at the airport Bryce sees Mia and decides to go talk to her. With old feelings arising back up for them both and being stuck because of the snow they end up staying at Bryce’s lake house and have fun together.
This is the second book I’ve read by S.L. Sterling and I was not disappointed. 😊

5 Cranky Stars
This book is part of a series and fortunately I have read the others in the series so I knew the characters well.
Mia had been in a long distance relationship for 5 years, she was meant to be meeting him at an airport to go on a much needed break. She was a workaholic and had put many trips off because of her job but this time she was determined, only to find out he wasn't meeting her and actually dumped her by voicemail. She went to the nearest bar to drown her sorrows and plan what to do now. This is when she met Bryce, who had been sent by his brothers to take a break as he was very stressed with work and his ex-girlfriend. They new each other from their childhood, he had been Mia's brother's best friend. Little did either of them know but they had both crushed on each other back then. The airport was snowed in so neither of them were going anywhere. They ended going back to Bryce's cabin to wait the storm out.
It was a feel good book and it had me wanting more. Well written and lovely to see the brothers again.

The best friends brother/sister novels has become one of my go to reads in the last little bit. Normally I was staying away from them, don't ask me why .... but now everytime I read a book that has that as the premises of the synopsis, I know that I want to read the book. I can tell you that will not be disappointed with His to Hold by S.L. Sterling.
I loved the characters of Mia and Bryce - each have their own quirks and personalities. When Mia's long term boyfriend dumps her at the start of her vacation, she decides what any newly single would do - have a drink at the airport. She bumps into her brothers best friend Bryce who she had not seen in over twenty years. The chemistry between the two is off the charts and they cannot fight the attraction between them. Sterling does a fantastic job of creating the chemistry and the backstory for this great read. I could not put this book down. If you love the second chance romances, best friend sibling type romance then this is defnitely the book for you.
I am super excited that I have discovered S.L. Sterling and I cannot wait to read more books from this great author. This is not the first book in this great series and it definitely wont be the first and last one that I will read ... bring on Chases' story. Make sure you pick up His to Hold and and add it to your To-Be-Read Shelf.

Sterling does a fantastic job of creating the chemistry and the backstory for this great read. I could not put this book down. If you love the second chance romances, best friend sibling type romance then this is defnitely the book for you.
I am super excited that I have discovered S.L. Sterling and I cannot wait to read more books from this great author. This is not the first book in this great series and it definitely wont be the first and last one that I will read ... bring on Chases' story. Make sure you pick up His to Hold and and add it to your To-Be-Read Shelf.

Amazingly written, I was glued to this book from the very beginning. A very heartfelt love between Bryce and Mia finally comes to life after fifteen years of waiting on each other. Bryce being Mia’s brother’s best friend has known her since college and been attracted to her from the first glance but was warned to stay away from her by Grant. She was also very close with the Malone family therefore, in constant contact with them. That didn’t help with her very strong crush on Bryce, until she sees him kissing her very best friend. They lose site of each other from that moment on and accidentally reconnect after fifteen years at an airport during a snow storm. This book has it all, the slow burn connection, over the chart chemistry, headstrong characters, alluring spicy scenes. This book is a most recommended read, this author’s writing is captivating and enthralling! A 5 stars 🌟 and more rating!
