Can't Let Go (Love in the Balance, #1.5)

An Instant Spark

Sadie Howard would never admit there’s such a thing as love at first sight, but she can’t deny the connection between her and sexy Adonis Aiden Downey. She also can’t deny she loves to kiss him-his mouth might be his most precious asset. Despite every promise to herself not to get involved any deeper than a first date, she can’t keep from seeing more of Aiden . . . in more ways than one.

Aiden Downey had no idea the hot blonde from the club would trigger his protective, gentle nature, but the moment she drops her guard and he sees the real Sadie Howard, he’s a goner. When a family crisis puts the brakes on their budding romance, can Aiden find a way to hold on to her? Or will he lose the best thing in his life just as quickly as he found her?

ARGH! Good thing I have Hard to Handle on my Kindle or else I would have been very upset. This prequel novella sets up the story of Aiden and Sadie. They met at a club, danced the electric slide and fall hard and fast for each other. Both of them have trust issues, but they decide the other is worth letting go of the past. But a family emergency forces Aiden to change his focus from Sadie to his family and break her heart a the same time.

I fell in love with the chemistry between Aiden and Sadie. Aiden was a man that wasn't afraid of his feelings, despite being a hot motorcycle riding alpha male. Knowing the hard choice he made, I feel for him even more.

Great set up to their full length book...which I'm going to read right now!
