Hers to Hold

by Eliza Ellis

She thought she was abandoned. He was always her home.

Kadynce Martin discovered a secret: she has three half-sisters living in Springfield. Taking a job as an investigative reporter, Kady moves to Springfield to discover the truth behind why her father abandoned her. When she's unexpectantly tackled by a handsome and mysterious stranger, Kady's introduced to a family she never knew she needed.

During a PTSD flashback, former United States Marine Wesley Solo shields Kady from enemy fire. Her gentle touch draws him back to reality and ignites a longing in his heart for more than their brief interaction. He believes he's found a woman who could be a mother to his daughter, but a romantic relationship goes against doctor's orders. When their paths keep crossing, Wes makes it his mission to discover everything about the secretive and alluring Kady.

Kady's new assignment to get close to Wes and report on his business partner puts her in a bind: she's falling for Wes. When her secret is revealed, will Kady be able to hold on to the love of her life?

Hers to Hold is the final book in the Sisters of Springfield series, where the bond between sisters is more important than anything. Family secrets, forbidden attraction, and a touch of humor are what you'll read in this sweet, contemporary romance in a small town by Eliza Ellis.

Kadynce discovered that a secret was being kept from her: she had three half-sisters living in Springfield, so she decides to move there as an undercover investigative reporter and finally find out why her father abandoned her and her mother. One day while she is working at her sister's bakery she meets former Marine Wesley and they become very taken with each other. Kady's new assignment is to get close to Wes and report on his business partner to her boss and she becomes conflicted : she was already in love with Wes, and doesn't know how she will get the answers she needs of her father without losing what she had with him. When her reason for being in Springfield is revealed, Wes is heartbroken and doesn't know if he can trust her again, so now she has to decide what's most important to her ; a father who abandoned her and was abusive to his other family or the man who showed her what it was to have a real family and who truly and deeply loved her.
This was a sweet, clean romance about two people who have been hurt in the past finding true and everlasting love, it was a sappy and tender reading that melted my heart, you could feel how the two of them really loved each other. I loved the author's storytelling and will be reading her other books!!

I liked this romance. I thought the storyline was interesting and very emotional. Wes was a wonderful character. This wounded warrior touched my heart. As far as Kady went I thought she was OK. I felt for her but I wish she had done things differently. Regardless, this was a good read. I'm freely posting a frank review.

In search of something she did not realize she needed until she found it

Hers to Hold is the fourth book in the Sisters of Springfield series and is the second book in this series I have read. I enjoyed the story of Kadynce Martin and Wesley Solo. This story will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride so keep some tissues next to you as you will shed more than a few tears before you finish this story.
This is a well written and very engaging book with wonderful characters and a nice amount of romance and chemistry.

I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This was a good read. Kady is in town doing some investigating for her job. She meets Wes one day at the bakery. They hit it off right away. Of course the truth about what she was up to came out and people were angry. However, in the end it all works out for them.

This is book four in the Sisters of Springfield series, I have not read the previous books so going into this one blind. Kadynce Martin is an investigative reporter and she is taking on a job in Springfield that will also allow her to further dig into her own past. Her father abandoned her and she wants to find out why. Things become complicated as Kady meets Wes. Wes is a single Dad to his daughter but he is a former US Marine that has PTSD flashbacks. A romantic relationship with anyone is not in the cards for Wes. However, what happens when you believe you have met the one woman who is an exception to the rule? Kady also finds herself caring for Wes and crossing the professional boundary as she is getting close to him while her new assignment is to report on his business partner. Can Kady find all the answers she is looking for? What happens when she may have found out more than she thought? Can Kady and Wes find trust and a HEA together? Enjoy!

What is most important?
Learning a pretty big secret Kady knows she needs to find out more I guess it is a good thing she is an investigative journalist except for now she is undercover and investigating her own father. Then Kady gets close to Wes and he finds out about another secret and there is another major trust issue that Kady and Wes will need to come to terms with. This was such a tender and heartfelt piece truly beautiful writing. I highly recommend you check this one out. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Kady went undercover to confront the father who never wanted her and his real family. She never knew that he didn’t want them either, that two of her half-sisters would be so accepting and welcoming, and that she would fall for Wes who was working for the man she was investigating, Drew her sister Kat’s husband. It was great to catch up with the sisters, their mother, and follow all the changes in their lives. Wes’ daughter Chastity was smart and precocious and certainly kept him on his toes. Kady was gutsy going out on her own and willing to risk losing family to find the truth.

[Franki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kady has a secret... or two, as she applies for a job at Kaye’s Kakes. She’s on her first assignment as an under cover reporter. Kat Kaye’s husband Drew is running for office in the senate. There are rumors that he is funneling campaign money into his his wife’s business.
I enjoyed this story of child custody, secrets, and the problems our vets often face with PTSD. This is an amazing story of the redemptive power of love.

This was a good book. Kady was working undercover at a bakery trying to get a story for the newspaper she was working for. Her main objective was learning about her 3 half sisters and her father. The women don't know about her at all. She meets Wes and they start seeing each other. The story addresses PTSD, abandment, relationships and a precosious little girl. It kept me entertained and I will look for more from this author.

[Kristi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a great series and Hers to Hold is a great addition to this series. A family that you get to know more and more with each book. In this book, the story centers around Kadynce a journalist and Wesley, a former US Marine with PTSD and also a single dad. Great story line with great characters. Highly recommend.

Kadynce and Wesley were brought together when she's in town to investigate on the sisters she just found out about. When she gets to town she's attacked by Wesley when he thinks he's saving her, except its his PTSD and her calm voice soothes him.
Don't miss as they broght together and learn together.
