Hold On To Me
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Terry Towers, Comes a Very Special Release! Who needs a man anyhow? Really? All they bring is frustration and heartbreak. I’m better off on my own. At least that’s what I thought. So imagine my anger when my sister went behind my back and signed me up on an online dating app. And the pictures she used... Just—no. She even went as far as to set up a date on my behalf! Umm, sister or not, isn’t that identity theft? Like it or not the date was set, and I was on the hook. One date and that was it, I told myself. One night of stress relief. Wham, bam, thank you sir! The last thing I needed was to catch feelings for the dreamy hunk staring boldly back at me from his profile picture. For all I knew he may not even have been a dude! I quickly discovered, however, that keeping my heart guarded from him was easier said than done.

I enjoyed every written word of this book. The author gave us well developed and engaging characters that have plenty of chemistry. Easy flowing storyline made it a great read.

Hold on to Me was my first read by Terry Towers and I truly believed when I started this book that it was going to be something exceptional. After the initial light-hearted and funny revelation that Riley’s sister Charlotte has signed her up for a dating site, the story grows legs and we’re off and running on an exciting and mature romantic encounter. I especially liked the scene where the author obviously reveals her personal and heartfelt message about writing, through Riley’s eyes:
“You invest weeks of your time, putting your heart and soul, practically everything you have into the words you write. You then publish the novel and pray people read what you’ve written and see more than just words thrown together, that they appreciate that there was a piece of you included with each word, paragraph and chapter"
Unfortunately for me, the story lost ground less than halfway through, as I found the dialogue started to become annoying, and I was skipping over the intimate scenes (so not like me) and skimming the rest to get it finished. The issue with the obsessive ex, was brushed off to easily and the ending seemed hurried. But that said, I did like Riley and Grayson’s characters and the overall storyline was interesting and fun. I will probably read something else by this author, as I don’t like to discount someone’s talent on one outing.

This was a different take on romance as it was about more mature characters They where both in their forties but they still wanted love They also had to contend with a different set of problems than a younger couple would
Riley hasn't been successful at romance she is in her forties a mother of two kids but never had a successful relationship her sister decides to take matters into her own hands and enrols her on a dating site before she can take down her profile Greyson touches base with her He is a FIFO worker divorced with a daughter most women can't handle him been there one week and gone the next Riley decide instead of shooting him down she will give it a chance What starts as friendship could turn into the love they have both wanted Can thy juggle their children a crazy ex and life to finally get the love that they both want

This is a beautiful love letter from the author to her new husband. You can tell this is a personal journey with a bit of fiction thrown in. Riley is 40 with two kids and never had a successful relationship. Her sister Charlotte enrolls her in an online dating website and before she can delete her account, Grayson reaches out to her. She figures, why not give this a shot. Riley is honest and up front from the start which generates a wonderful first conversation. Grayson is divorced with a daughter. He is a great guy but his job keeps him onsite every other week which is hard for many women to handle. It takes two people willing to risk being hurt before love can truly be found. Following this journey is heart-warming and inspiring.

What an emotional and passionate new book from Terry Towers. Riley is a single 40 year old woman raising two kids and has given up on men and finding true love. Until Riley's sister signs her up fro an online dating website. Grayson is a single dad looking to settle down but hasn't found 'the one' yet. When Riley and Grayson meet the sparks fly and an instant love connection is formed. Hold On To Me is a quick read filled with passion, love, and flirty banter. I loved reading this new book and can't wait to read more from Terry Towers.

A truly heart touching story.
Riley and Grayson had chemistry right away, but that didnt mean it was going to be easy. With 3 nearly grown children between the two of them, figuring out how to get 2 people happy together, let alone 5, was going to be a challenge to say the least. But they figured it put beautifully. Suprises and all, this book was wonderful.
I would recommend.
Happy reading!

When you least expect it....
When you least expect it love and happiness will find you. This story was a little different from what I have read by Ms. Towers in the past. I believe that is why I liked it so much. The main characters were older, more mature and didn't rush the relationship. When someone tried to cause a problem between them, there was no jumping to the wrong conclusion and drama ending in a split. That was refreshing. This story and the characters was very believable.

Great story of two single parents that find another shot at love. Riley is a single mom to teenager, twin boys. Her sister does her a 'favour' and signs her up on a dating app. She even accepts a date! Grayson is a single dad and he feels that Riley is the one for him. Is a second shot at love possible for these two great characters? Do their kids get along and on board with the relationship? An entertaining story that was a great read. Enjoy!

Absolutely loved Grayson.
Holy smokes this is the first book from this author and I absolutely loved it and cant wait for more. Grayson and Riley meet on a dating website that her sister made up but Riley didn't expect to find love only a broken heart as she was use to it. This book was absolutely fantastic and different from the other books as you have 2 single parents trying to find their soulmate and sometimes with the added crazy ex showing up. Can they survive all the drama and can Riley open her hurt up for more?

I liked the characters were just normal ordinary people who meet on an online dating service.
Both more mature with college age kids. Riley is a romance author & Grayson has a FIFO (fly in/fly put) job. Keeping him away for periods of time.
I enjoyed the banter & this couples chemistry however add in an ex who has designs on our H & it becomes a bit more complicated.
Overall it was an enjoyable read.

Highly enjoyable story of two mature people looking for love. Liked how this was such a simple love story with obvious chemistry but, that doesn’t mean it will still be an easy adventure. Wonderful experience in showing love can be found online, and even though you may not be looking we all want to have that special someone who will love and accept us with our insecurities and desires.

Wowee, what a fantastic Omega read this is. Zoey Ellis sure is a fantastic author and you will certainly not be disappointed with reading this book. Thorec and Ria are a stormy, zinging pair for sure. You really cannot afford to miss this standalone book but be prepared it is hot, hot, hot. 10 out of 10 for this one

This was a really enjoyable book. I was hesitant at first after seeing the characters’ ages, but it worked. Grayson and Riley had “been there done that”. They realized mistakes made in the past and knew they wanted to avoid going back down that road. I would have liked to read a little more drama involving Brooklyn. Great ending.

This Book 5 in the Lone Star Lovers Series is well-developed in the storyline and has well-constructed characters that have great chemistry. This is a older man/younger woman romances and I enjoyed this book. The characters are interesting, well-developed and have chemistry with issues. The story is interesting, well-written with a HEA.

Riley, a single mother of nearly grown-up twins, is too busy to date and rather annoyed, when her sister is not only setting up an account at a dating app for her but also sent winkies to some men. She was just about to delete her profile, when a message popped up that caught her interest.
A lovely story, fairly straight forward with not too much drama, but told in an entertaining way.

A single mom who has decided love just isn't out there for her so her sister sets up a profile for her on a dating app. A single dad who sends her a message in the dating app.
A funny and entertaining story with more mature characters who each have older kids. An entertaining story line that pulls you in. The characters are easy to get to know throughout the story. Definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This is a departure from the typical romance, as Riley and Grayson are in their 40's and have grown children. The characters have great chemistry. The drama was not what you would think of from adults with grown children. I would have like to read more about why the two were never married yet had grown children without the mention of the other parent. If you are looking for a well written love story then this book is for you!

A enjoyable read that will keep you glued to the story till your read the very last word. The story was well written, the characters fit well together and have amazing chemistry. Riley and Grayson have an attraction right away, but things were getting in the way. I recommend this book you will really enjoy it.

Riley and Grayson met on a dating app her sister set up for her. Their chemistry is super hot and spicy. Since both had teenage children, they had a lot in common. After Riley was able to overcome all of her insecurities, things between them looked very promising. Big surprise near the end of this great read!
