Autumn O’Dea has always tried to see the best in people while her big brother, Killian, has always tried to protect her from the worst. While their lonely upbringing made Killian a cynic, it isn’t in Autumn’s nature to be anything but warm and open. However, after a series of relationship disasters and the unsettling realization that she’s drifting aimlessly through life, Autumn wonders if she’s left herself too vulnerable to the world. Deciding some distance from the security blanket of her brother and an unmotivated life in Glasgow is exactly what she needs to find herself, Autumn takes up her friend’s offer to stay at a ski resort in the snowy hills of Montana. Some guy-free alone time on Whitetail Mountain sounds just the thing to get to know herself better.

However, she wasn’t counting on colliding into sexy Grayson King on the slopes. Autumn has never met anyone like Gray. Confident, smart, with a wicked sense of humor, he makes the men she dated seem like boys. Her attraction to him immediately puts her on the defense because being open-hearted in the past has only gotten it broken. Yet it becomes increasingly difficult to resist a man who is not only determined to seduce her, but adamant about helping her find her purpose in life and embrace the person she is. Autumn knows she shouldn’t fall for Gray. It can only end badly. After all their lives are divided by an ocean and their inevitable separation is just another heart break away…


The Kristen Proby Crossover Collection features a new novel by Kristen Proby and by six of her favorite writers!

REVIEW:

3 stars
***


This book was only okay for me. Hold On is Autumn and Grayson's story. Autumn is on a ski getaway in Montana from her home in Scotland. She is hoping to find some clarity and make some big life choices. Grayson is a construction business owner who is helping out his friend who owns a ski resort, by giving ski lessons on his off season. Autumn is not a good skier and she runs into Grayson on the slope, literally. Grayson is smitten on first sight, but Autumn takes a little bit to get over her fear of relationships and learn to trust him.

This book is very much insta-love, and not the good, believable kind. I didn't love Grayson. He is very alpha-man in his speech and actions. I felt like he was a Kristen Ashley-hero-wannabe. I hated his use of Angel, constantly, as an endearment. I didn't mind Autumn. She was quirky and flighty, but cute. I did like the story and felt it had potential, but it just never got there for me. I didn't feel any chemistry or connection between the couple at all.

Overall, Hold On was kind of a miss for me. But I was still entertained and I do think it's worth reading. I really like Samantha Young's On Dublin series, but this book was very different and nothing like that series or writing style. I will probably still read Ms. Young's books in the hopes that she goes back to that style in the future.
