Cowboys & Angels #2
Never Let Go
Cody
Life has been one crazy, wild ride. I've been on top, but I've also fallen and hit solid ground: personally and professionally. The craziest thing—my hardest fall wasn’t from a bull. With a crushed heart, I learned love means nothing. I vowed never to fall, or leave myself open to hurt, again.
It was going well...until she walked into the bar.
Tatum is stubborn, beautiful, and challenges me every chance she gets. I've never met anyone like her. She may even be enough to change my mind and break my vow. But life isn't that easy. The one thing she absolutely doesn't want is the one thing I never expected, but always hoped for.
Tatum
Life has been one disappointment after another. People walk away, dreams are crushed, life doesn't go the way you want. Love means nothing.
Except...Cody makes me feel things.
The bull rider chose me. And much to my dismay, he keeps choosing me. He’s hotter than fire, with a heart of gold. He's someone I could maybe even trust. The only problem: things aren't that simple. Cody is everything I never knew I needed or wanted. When life drops a bomb in our laps, will he be enough? Or is it disappointment and crushed dreams all over again?
Can one person be enough to change everything you've ever known?

Never let go is an excellent read. The characters are strong and in control of their lives.....so they think. Cody is a guy who thinks he knows what he wants or maybe don't want. He is a cowboy and having fun. But when Tate walks in to the bar things changes for Cody. All he knew was he had to have her. Tate knew she had to test his control he so seemed to have. The storyline is easy to read and to get drawn into the story. I found myself talking to the book. It is excellent.. I would recommend this book to anyone who want to be apart of the story. A great love story with some steamy sex scenes.

EEEEEEEKKKKK finally Cody's story! I loved him even more now than i did in Chase and Allie's book. And Tatum was a spitfire. I loved her. Tatum had moments i wanted to shake her but thankfully she got her head out of her butt. I so wasnt ready for this book to end but it was so good!

If you aren’t reading this fantastic Cowboys & Angels series, what the heck are you waiting for? Seriously, the stories, the romance, the love, the heartbreak, the hope, the angst, the freaking everything is beautifully told here.
I knew I was hooked after just a couple of pages in book 1, Hold on Tight. Chase and Allie are a tough act to follow, but damn, Cody and Tatum are something special too.
I loved their banter. Their guarded natures. Their toughness. Their vulnerability. And their huge loving hearts that had been hiding behind really high walls for much too long. And once those walls started crumbling, they were right there for each other—to catch each other if they fell.
I loved how Cody and Tatum just got each other. That Cody finally realized that true love was out there for him to grasp—if only he could convince Tatum to take a chance and fall right along with him. Tatum’s deep-seated fears had been ingrained from her childhood. And it takes a “talkin’ to” from her mom to set her straight—Mom’s are always right, right?
Run, don’t walk, to pick up this fantastic story. It’s a standalone, but you’re going to want to start at the beginning here because you’ll want to know everything and everyone. And I cannot wait for more! ~ Missy, 5 stars

Wow.
Cody and Tatum's chemistry is off the charts! I knew it was going to be a great read but wow. Super sexy fun times await!
There is drama, sweetness, heartbreak and so much more waiting for you in this story. Make sure to read Hold on Tight first, otherwise you will find a few spoilers in this book.

So good!
This was a great book I didn't want to put it down. This was Cody and Tatum's story and it was a good one. They took me on a rollercoaster ride and you experienced their ups and downs. The author created characters that were so real and relatable. I loved this book and I can't wait for the next one!

Spanish:
“Never Let Go” de Anjelica Grace el segundo libro perteneciente a “Cowboys & Angels”. Es un romance contemporáneo muy caliente con momentos que te harán suspirar.
A Cody Everet le rompieron el corazón, lo tenía todo y al día siguiente no volvió a ser el mismo. Ningún toro le hizo el mismo daño y por ello se prometió no volver a pasar por ello. Aunque Tatum Mikaelson entro en el bar en el que él estaba, hermosa y terca desafiándolo cada vez que puede. Ambos no están interesados en el largo plazo, pero parece que ninguno. Se supone que es sólo una noche, pero parece que no pueden sacarse el uno al otro de la cabeza.
Este libro fue muy hooooot. Si el anterior me encanto este aún más. Cody era un personaje que me intrigaba mucho en el anterior libro, y me encantaba como era con las niñas, dulce encantador y sexy. Pero todo eso se intensifico añadiendo un toque muy picante a la historia con la incorporación de Tatum.
"Aún no he terminado de trabajar, no. Pero tienes esa mirada, y no puedes negar que tu cuerpo reacciona a la mía de todas las maneras correctas".
Cuando se conocieron saltaron chispas en ese mismo instante. Cody supo cómo camelarse a Tatum y conquistarla, todo lo que le dijo en ese bar y como la sedujo, pero Tatum también hizo lo mismo y así empezaron las ganas de ambos que no dudaron en seguir esa conversación donde tenía que ser. En ningún momento conociendo a Cody del anterior libro pensé que podía ser así de intenso en la cama con Tatum.
"Necesito oír las palabras, Tatum. ¿Me estás empujando, desobedeciendo, así que tomaré todo tu control, te ataré, te molestaré, y luego te follaré sin sentido cuando no puedas aguantar otro segundo más?”
Pero nuestro chico tiene su pasado que le cambiara las cosas en los últimos capítulos del libro, y le añaden un toque de drama. Y también será un poco complicado para Tatum. Una historia super bonita, hot y con momentos que te van a dejar con la boca abierta.
Anjelica Grace con “Cowboys & Angels” ha escrito dos maravillas que no os podéis perder!

English:
"Never Let Go" by Anjelica Grace is the second book in the "Cowboys & Angels" series. It's a very hot contemporary romance with moments that will make you sigh.
Cody Everet's heart was broken, he had it all, and the next day, he was never the same again. No bull did the same damage to him, and he promised not to go through it again. Although, Tatum Mikaelson entered the bar where he was, beautiful, and stubborn defying him every time she could. Both are not interested in the long term, but it seems that neither. It's supposed to be just one night, but it seems they can't get each other out of their heads.
This book was very hooot. If the previous one I loved it, this even more. Cody was a character that intrigued me a lot in the previous book, and I loved how he was with the girls, sweetly, charming, and also sexy. But, all that, intensified adding a very hot touch to the story with the incorporation of Tatum.
“I’m not done working yet, no. But you’ve got that look, and you can’t deny your body reacts to mine in all the right ways”
When they met, sparks flew at that very moment. Cody knew how to seduce Tatum and captivate her, with everything he told her in that bar. But Tatum also did the same and so began the desire of both who didn't hesitate to continue that conversation where it had to be. At no time when I met Cody from the previous book did I think I could be this intense in the bed, with Tatum.
“I need to hear the words, Tatum. Are you pushing me, disobeying, so I’ll take all your control, tie you up, tease you, then fuck you senseless when you can’t take another second more?”
However, our boy has a past that will change things in the last chapters of the book, and add a bit of drama. And it will also be a bit complicated for Tatum. A nice story, hot and with moments that will leave you with your mouth open.
Anjelica Grace with "Cowboys & Angels" has written two amazing books that you can't miss!

This story was amazing! For one, I love a good cowboy romance in a small town and two the storyline was perfectly written and flowed really well. Anjelica Grace really knows how to suck you in and make you feel like you are a part of the book instead of reading it. I enjoyed getting to know Cody and Tatum in Book one, but when I started reading their story I fell in love with these two.
Although neither one of them wanted a long term committed relationship they could not fight the chemistry, and the sexual tension between Cody and Tatum was...through the roof!! I fell in love with the cowboy, as I always love a HOT cowboy, especially one with Cody’s sense of humor. Tatum’s personality was exquisite, she was so sweet and outgoing.
Never Let Go is the second book in the Cowboys and Angels Series and can be read as a standalone. I am certainly looking forward to reading more of her work.

Never Let Go is book two in the Cowboys & Angels series. It can be read as a standalone but after reading this one I do want to go back and read Chase and Allie's story in the first book.
Cody is a bull rider. He's been hurt in the past and isn't looking for love. Tatum hasn't had the best of life and she isn't looking for love either. Tatum is younger than Cody but she has a good head on her shoulders. These two meet and have a hook up, that leaves both of them wanting more. Their paths cross again and they become more than a hook up. I though things were going good and was waiting for that one thing to happen to test them and it did. I was a little disappointed at Tatum at first but the story was written well I could totally understand her.

Cody -
Cowboy, Sexy Bronc Buster Dedicated Playboy, an all-around good guy (you have a little drool on your chin).
My heart was torn to pieces right from the opening scene - I so so want to strangle his "girlfriend" - But I also have to admit if it wasn't for her selfish ways he would never have ended up where he was - doing what he does and then he wouldn't have well ...
Let me introduce
Tatum -
Determined, Kind, Athletic, Single (and staying that way) a bit of a rebel at heart and the perfect spark to ignite Cody's inner caveman
These two are absolutely explosive together the chemistry between them from the moment their eyes met - Yeah, it happened that way but OMG did the two of them make the universe work for it!
Both of them are a bit broken and have let life's little 'f.... you's' screw their perceptions of love - Fine, they are both really bitter!
This was my first time with this author but I will definitely be adding her to my list of must-read authors.
The writing -the story line - the cast
All was magnificently done
I was right there - Rooting them on - Drying silent tears -
Yelling when they just weren't getting it! - Blowing steam out my ears when certain someones were all kinds of messed up -
Yes it was that emotional - that intense - and just that perfect <3

What an amazing story about Cody a bull riding rodeo cowboy, and his journey through betrayal, lost love, heartache, lust, love and commitment. A highly recommended read.
Cody has always secretly wanted what his best friends Chase and Allie have, complete love and devotion to one in other through the good times and the bad.
After Cody dreams were shattered after having his heart broken he swore off love. That is until Tatum walked into The Lions Den pub. This sexy strong stubborn young woman appeared before him standing under a light like a halo shinning light on this angel. and he was planning for this one night stand and walking away. What he didn't expect that all these traits he found in Tatum not only intrigued and captivated him. This was a emotional wonderfully written entertaining and engaging book filled with amazing characters and a great storyline. The sexual chemistry was intense.

I have been patiently waiting for this one. You first meet Cody when you read the first book. He is there when his best friend Chase has his accident. I fell in love with his character in that book and wanted his story. So glad that I finally got it. I absolutely loved his story. Cody is a character you can easily fall in love with. He goes through something no one should ever go through.
Now he is trying to get his life a little back together and ends up meeting Tatum a bar one night. These two instantly hit it off and you can see the sparks and chemistry between these two easily. I absolutely love how strong and in control Tatum is and how she doesn't want to give up that control to Cody. But will Cody be able to work his magic and break through her walls? Will Tatum be able to prove to Cody that she is different and worth the risk? This was so well written and just an incredible storyline. I loved the chemistry and the fun moments between these two. So glad I finally for his story so worth the wait. Highly recommend.

I fell in love with Cody back in Book one of this series and I could not wait to read his story. I knew from the moment we met him that he was going to be one heck of a "character"! Boy was he ever!! Cody and Tatum's story hooked me from the very beginning. They had ups and downs and I was certainly smiling when I turned the last page! This is definitely a book that I highly recommend!!
December 7, 2019
I really liked Tatum and Cody’s story. Neither of them are looking for a relationship when they first hook up. Cody is a bull rider and that is his main focus in life. Lots of chemistry with the characters and the story is well written. You don’t have to read the first book in the series to enjoy this one but I recommend it as well. Sexy and fun. Don’t miss this read.

I can honestly say that I’m so sad I finished this book. Like seriously so sad. It was that good! I can’t wait for more of Ms. Graces’ work because omg!! I’m hooked! Cody and Tatum are as amazing as Chase and Allie were. I love this group of characters and I just, I can’t wait for more! Any book and. Grace wants to write I know I will be reading without even having to read the synopsis. I remember Ms. Grace telling me I would fall in love with Cody, that people loved Chase, but Cody too. And I loved him throughout the book. But there is an exact spot where I did. You’ll know where when you read it. Cody is special. And Tatum is the girl for him. One that challenges and just brings out the best in him and him her. I love them. I love this series and these characters and these books and Ms. Grace!!

Never Let Go by Anjelica Grace
I am voluntarily reviewing this ARC.
All I can say is wow! This book is amazing! I loved book one, Hold on Tight. It was a sweet and emotional read. But this book...sweet? Yes. Emotional? Yes. Steamy? Um, absolutely! Toe curling? That would be a definitely yes! This story checked all the boxes for me. Cody is everything you look for In a hero. He’s kind and funny and sweet and loyal and so incredibly swoon worthy. Tatum is strong and secure and kind. Together, they are a couple that you root for and love reading. The story is as heart warming as it is sexy. This book deserves all the stars and then some. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seriously could not put this book down!! Read it in less than 24 hours. I love that it was a a continuation of the first story but from different characters perspectives and that we got whole new characters!! Cody was so lovable in the first and loved him even more in this one. Tate was such a relatable character - I liked her even more than Allie in book 1. 10/10 would recommend. Loved every minute of it!!

Anjelica Grace is one seriously talented author!! She pulls you in with her beautiful words and with her characters that are so realistic, and even when they do crazy things --things you will want to just shake them for-- you can't help but love them.
Cody is a bull rider, and has made the mistake in his past of giving his heart away to someone who didn't deserve it. (That lady was a real witch, let me tell you. Ugh.) And ever since that heartbreak, he lives his life filled with his job and one night stands. Plus he has his best friend -- Chase!!-- and his family. He doesn't feel like he has anything missing in his life, and is determined to keep living the way he is. And that's just when a beautiful blonde bombshell walks into his life.
Tatum is a feisty, independent young woman who has first hand experience with heartbreak and abandonment. Her father left her and her mother when she was just a young girl, and has vowed to never let a man break her, and to never have a family of her own, seeing as how her mother left her alone when was healing her own broken heart. She's also dealt with a professional loss, and all of that has shaped her into who she is today. When she first meets Cody, she's taken back by her crazy attraction to him, and how he makes her want to lose control. After one night together, Tatum never expects to see him again, but when a surprising connection has them face to face, and they start an epic, all consuming love, will they get this happy ever after? Or will a twist of fate break them apart?
I loved this book so, so much. I loved the way Cody loved Tatum-- so purely, unconditionally, and all consuming. For someone who was sure that part of him died with his last relationship, he was absolutely perfect with Tatum.
Tatum was perfect for Cody as well. She was younger, yes, but all of her experiences in life made her older than her years. She and Cody just *fit* together, and watching the two of them together, was just amazing.
The ending brought tears to my eyes, and I so can't wait for what this author brings us next!

I love Cody! I've long had a fascination with cowboys and by the looks of my TBR that's not going to change anytime soon. I love cowboys! I met Cody in Anjelica Grace's first book, Hold on Tight. I was intrigued by the bits of information his friend Allie and Chase dropped about why he wasn't living in Colorado anymore. However, through that book I learned he is a true and devoted friend and considers his friends his family.
Cody has a wild side and a reputation; not only a top-notch bull rider but also as a ladies' man. The latter the direct result of the woman he loved betraying him. Vowing never to fall in love again, he sleeps his way through the rodeo circuit until an injury sidelines him at home. Little does he know, a trip to the local bar will change his life forever.
Tatum is a driven student and gymnastic instructor. Her traumatic childhood and the loss of her dream cause her to make life choices that don't include more than one night with the sexy cowboy she meets at the bar. Always in control, Tatum is just the challenge Cody is looking for. Both assuming their night was a one and done, neither is prepared to be thrust together due to Cody's best friends, Allie and Chase.
The couple's banter is witty and sexy, the double entendres flow back and forth freely. Neither of them expect to develop feelings for the other, but when they do all hope of holding on to control is out the window for them. Cody shows he truly is a good man: loving, understanding, protective, loyal, sexy, passionate, and devoted. When life throws the couple the ultimate roadblock, his true colors really shine, but is Tatum up to the challenge? Choices are made, lives forever altered, but friends remain.
Ms. Grace's characters are like reading about old friends. She pulls the reader into the story and all the reader can do is hang on for the ride. This book hits all the buttons for me: friendship, family, sexy cowboys, a strong women, passion, loyalty, and lots of sexual tension. I highly recommend this read and look forward to many more reads from Anjelica Grace.

Cody and Tatum are not interested in long term. It’s just supposed to be a one and done for them both, but they can’t seem to put each other out of their minds. When they find they have a mutual connection, they decide to take their association a little further, and then further still, just to see where things go. Well, let me tell you, they go for quite a ride! As they struggle to overcome the hurts from the past that have impacted their view of the future, they will be sorely tested, and you will feel it as they almost lose that which they hold most dear.
This tale is a roller coaster of emotions that will often tug at your heartstrings and keep you captivated from start to finish. You will be pulled in from the beginning and experience all the twists and turns, ups and downs of their journey right up until the very end. It’s a wonderful love story that you will find easy to read but hard to put down. Of course, for those who have read the first books of the series, you’ll get to visit with Chase and Allie again, which just makes the enjoyment of this that much sweeter. I strongly recommend this very engaging and entertaining romance!

Never Let Go
To say I was excited for this book would be an understatement. I was ready for this book some time ago when Anjelica let me read Hold on Tight (which I loved).
But I was ready for this book right after reading that. I didn’t want to wait. I wanted it then.
FINALLY it is here! And let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint in the slightest! I was ready for Cody’s book, and boy oh boy it was amazing!
Crazy, with the twists and turns, but oh man, SOOOOOO AMAZING!!
Cody and Tatum had met previously but they had forgotten all about it cause it was the day of trauma. When Chase got injured from riding.
When Cody sees Tatum again, he can’t help himself. He’s a player, he wanted a 1 night stand, but got so much more than that. Tatum didn’t really want a relationship, and knew Cody would be a player, but pursued it anyway cause come on! Cody’s a cowboy, and rides bulls for a living. So dangerous! So appealing!
Cody is home on a break cause he got injured, and Tatum is studying, and is a dance teacher. Two worlds collide that night at the bar!
They decide they wanna try to make things work, but can they really? With him off to the Rodeos and her back home teaching and studying?
One and done that’s it? Are they over?
This book really pulls at your heartstrings. I was cheering for them from the beginning, and Anjelica has a way to keep you pulled in to the story from the very beginning. I didn’t wanna put it down, and I read it in a couple of hours!!
Talk about a love story for the ages! And who doesn’t love some cowboys and rodeos??
Some of my fave quotes:
1. “Yeah, for the night, she’s mine.” - Oh little do you know Cody, oh little do you know!
2. “You’re worth taking the leap for.” - SWOON MOMENT!
3. “Let go Angel, I’ll catch you.” - STOP IT CODY!!
4. “What if I never let go? What if I hold on, support you, and protect you so you never have to find out what happens, or how rock bottom feels? - UGH I Can’t!!!
5. She’s stolen my heart and I don’t want it back. - YAS!!!

I fell in love with Cody and Tatum! I already was half in love with him in Hold On Tight (Chase and Allie's story and Anjelica's debut novel) but HOLY MOLY!!!! I had NO IDEA just how much he would imbed himself in my heart! And Tatum was the perfect foil for this bad-boy of the bull riding circuit!
I loved how the story flowed and Ms. Grace added just the right amount of conflict and angst to get the heart palpitating! It's witty, the chemistry between Cody and Tate is off-the-charts, you could cut the sexual tension between them with a knife and the HEA was GLORIOUS!!! All in all, I ADORED everything about this one! I can't WAIT to see what this author comes out with next....I think I need to move to Colorado!

There is truly nothing bad I can say about Cody and Tatum. From the second my eyes met them, I was hooked! Cody is a sly fox with a wondrous way with words, and Tate is the saucy heroine who knows when to put a cowboy in his place. I love that their story was authentic and real. Anjelica's way with words kept me going until the very last page. Even then I was sad it was over. This isn't an over dramatic achy-breaky-heart novel. It's a loving, funny, sweet to the touch romance that I, myself, never want to let go of.

Beautiful Story!
This book was so fun! From player extraordinaire to husband materiel in one fell swoop!
Granted before he was a player he was husband materiel but some stupid woman couldn’t see beyond the dollar signs of his profession.
I really really liked Cody and Tatum together! They balanced each other out in some ways and challenged each other in others.
She made him believe forever was truly possible and he helped her open her heart to love she never thought she deserved.
Their breakup was necessary to move the plot along but the way it was resolved was truly a beautiful thing.
I definitely would recommend this to anyone who asked for a cowboy rec 😍😍

Whoa... this book was just whoa. As soon as I opened the book and started reading I could not put it down, I found myself sneaking a chapter or two in between work. I instantly fell for Cody and my heart hurt for him and the things he experienced. Tatum was amazing and so wonderfully written. I loved how all the characters were intertwined with each other and how well Anjelica wrote them and made them come alive. She did such a wonderful job with this story and I highly recommend to anyone who loves hot cowboys, romance, and a steamy story.

If I didn’t have to leave Cody & Tate’s world, I wouldn’t.
I LOVE, LOVE this book!! From the moment Cody & Tatum met I was hooked. I loved their witty, sexy banter, their chemistry ... everything!! It should have been a quick read for me but I didn’t want to let go and finish this book because it was sooo good!! Anjelica has a way with words to keep you attached to the story and with all the twist and turns and feels... I don’t know what I’ll do without Cody and Tate now. *sadness*
I HIGHLY recommend this one!!

Cody and Tatum are a reluctant world wind of passion and feelings from the start. Both crushed from past experiences leave them cynical to give in or give up. Life throws hurdles at them and they take it all in stride.
This was a sweet and fantastic read. Plenty of wit, angst, and control (and loss their of). The characters are easy to fall in love with and their personalities really draw you in. Their worlds collide together and intertwine beautifully. HEA.
