Synopsis
A best friends-to-lovers, stand-alone romance from New York Times Bestselling Author, A.L. Jackson . . .
Evan Bryant wasn't your typical hero.
But he was mine.
Broken by the worlds’ standards, he was still the strongest boy I would ever know.
My best friend. The boy I’d given everything to. My heart, my body, and the promise of forever.
The day I’d needed him most, he walked away.
He left me shattered and questioning the love I’d thought we’d shared.
Three years later, I wasn’t prepared for him to return to Gingham Lakes.
It wouldn’t have mattered if he wasn’t the most beautiful man I’d ever seen.
My fingers still would have ached to caress his skin.
My body still would have begged to get lost in his touch.
And my heart . . . it would have always sung his name.
But time changes things. With it, secrets that could ruin everything.
Can we find a way to love again, or have the fears of our past stolen the hope of our forever . . .

My Review
HOLD ON TO HOPE
Is a full length romance novel by author 'A.L. Jackson' Spoken in Dual POV's.
This book right here took me by surprise on so many levels, this wasn't your run of the mill second chance romance, it had so much more going on. I read this in one sitting, devoured it as fast as my eyes could read the words on the pages, the flow of the story was perfect, the characters were so easy to relate to, the emotional turmoil our heroine felt became my pain. This was so beautifully written, the feels just rushed at me out of nowhere.
Our Hero Evan is not your typical character that you come across every day, he has genetic defects; ie: deafness and has had a heart transplant when he was younger, which mean't he needed many surgeries making his life expectancy not the greatest. Which played a big part with him up and leaving everything he held dear to his heart behind.
Our Heroine Frankie Leigh has loved him with a passion for as long as she can remember, but he broke her heart when he left her for 3 years leaving nothing but a letter behind. Leaving her devastated, barely able to move on with life.
I especially enjoyed the flashbacks to when they were so much younger, (5 and 8) to present day..Such a heartfelt journey filled with secrets, suspense, danger and love..
