•Sometimes we have something or get something without our demands and then we start living our lives with that. But life has some plans for us, or we can say that certain things wait for us at the crossroads, and then we have to decide whether we are going to choose the previous one without any consequences or will try to mold the reality and fight for the best! Today I'm reviewing something that will give you a different view on life, HOLD ON TO THE LOVE by STEPHEN MOODY.

•Starting with the Title of the book, I feel it's a pertinent one. For a particularly insightful title I would rate the title 1/1. The cover then again is an exceptionally appealing one. I feel generally speaking external appearance of the book is truly interesting to the person who sees it interestingly. For the title and the cover, I might want to give it a 2/2.

•The story deals with the life happenings of Stefano who was an artist and Roselyn, a fashion executive. Roselyn's life was on a smooth track where her husband was a known powerful business executive but was never used to touching or making love to her which made her feel empty. During a business meeting, she met Stefano, when they shook hands there a different spark produced in both of them. This spark leads to a whole different journey of love and sensual night. But as soon as her husband got to know about them he got furious and threatens Stefano for his life and career.

What will they both choose? Will they be able to live for each other? Will there be a good ending to their love story? Read and get all your answers!

•The storyline is very uniquely crafted and portrayed by the author which has kept my interest throughout the duration of reading. Characters are characterized well. The characters are unique , well developed, strong and impactful. The narration style is extremely smooth and convincing. The plot is very intriguing. The more you will read the more you will crave for. Author has mentioned every small details effectively which adds a plus to the story.
Highly Recommended !!

I’ll be honest, I’m not usually a big fan of cheating storylines, so I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Hold On to the Love: Forbidden Love. But despite that, I really enjoyed this book and found myself getting pulled into Roselyn and Stefano’s story.

The connection between them is intense and feels like something much deeper than a typical attraction. I liked the idea of their relationship feeling almost fated, as if they had found each other for a reason despite all the circumstances working against them. At the same time, the consequences of their choices felt very real, which added plenty of tension to the story.

Richard’s reaction and the power he has over the situation kept me wondering how everything was going to unfold. There were definitely moments when I wanted to shake the characters, but that’s also what kept me invested.

Stephen Moody did a great job both writing and narrating the audiobook. His narration brought the emotions and tension of the story to life and made it easy to get caught up in the characters.

Even though forbidden love and infidelity aren't normally my favorite themes, this one surprised me. It’s emotional, passionate, complicated, and definitely makes you think about whether some connections are worth risking everything for.

Rosalyn and Stefano are fated to find each other in each lifetime.Their souls are tethered to one another through miles and time. The mysticism is palpable as this story takes on a life of its own. Alluring and lush, this novel is stunning in so many ways. The imagery is luxurious and their encounters seductive. Stefano is an artist who taps into the soul of his subjects and his paintings capture their identity. Rosalyn is his muse who becomes his love story. This is a story with a very happy ending, but it's a dangerous and passionate journey. The author narrates his own story with a voice that conveys every emotion, the yearning and the fear.

The power of love

Less detail on sexcapades and more of the story lines but I definitely liked the touch with the psychic. Stefano got on my nerves when he saw rose after he made the agreement not too. I wish this book contained photos would have loved to have seen the artwork and the dress she wore. Jorge truly had Stefanos back.
