Review: Keep Holding On

Keep Holding On Keep Holding On by Melissa Tagg
My rating: πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› 

“She’s my best friend. Even after all this time, she’s still my best friend.”

Melissa Tagg has a way of capturing you from the first few words on the page with her dashing heroes, sweet heroines and a plot you just know has a whole lot more to it. Beckett just grabbed my interest from the first moment in this story and he won over my heart with his wild, passionate and jump-in-the-moment personality. The reserved Kit was sweet and I just felt her struggles through every thought and conversations with her friends and families.

“Kit, when God calls us to something, it doesn’t mean we’re never going to have setbacks. And if we go doubting his direction every time we face a challenge, we’ll end up stagnant and frustrated, tied up in knots.”

Both Beckett and Kit had past hurts and struggles, but Beckett's struggles and that one moment with his dad just pulled at my heartstrings.

I really loved Beckett and Kit together. They just complemented each other so well. And a letter from someone important in Beckett's life described him so well, it just made me love him more.

A God who never promised perfect circumstances, but who did promise his love.

There was also so many supporting characters to love and I hope would feature in future books. Lucas with this very very intriguing and sad history top of my list. Megan the barista was also a favourite.

It’s been a tough season, sure, but Grandpa always used to say the good thing about tough seasons is it means better ones are just around the corner. Good from bad.

I'm excited to read Bear and Reagan's story next. I loved their relationship in the first part of the series and looking forward to their HEA.

Fans of contemporary fiction will really enjoy this book and series.

About the book:

Swoon-worthy Romance. Small-town Charm. 
Best friends reunite in Tagg's latest novel of second chances and enduring love.  
Beckett Walker hasn't stepped foot in Maple Valley in years. There's no getting past the painful memories, and there's every chance he'll be arrested as soon as he shows his face. Which is exactly what happens when he finally returns. Suddenly his dream of adventure as a military lawyer comes skidding to a halt.

Horticulturist Kit Danby has spent too much time missing home and her childhood best friend--Beckett Walker. Now she might have a shot at reclaiming both. After years of living abroad, she returns to run her family's apple orchard. She has one season to turn a profit and impress the father she barely knows. But she can't do it alone.

It should be simple: Beckett needs community service hours. Kit needs a helping hand. But there's more at stake than either of them planned. With a tangled past and futures that look nothing alike, they'll have to find a way to weather the storms of the present . . . or risk losing everything.
