Release Blast for Mine to Hold by J.H. Croix


MINE TO HOLD

J.H. Croix

Release Date: January 15

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A swoony small-town friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix

filled with slow-burn chemistry, emotional angst, and a broody hero who falls hard.

Best friends don’t kiss… unless they’re ready to break every rule.

I’ve been half in love with Kendall Castille for years. She’s my best friend. To her, we’re just

friends. To me? She’s everything.

I’ve kept my feelings buried, convinced I’m not the guy for her, or anyone. Love comes with

scars, and I have too many to count. I’ve already lost enough. So I build walls, and I keep my

heart locked down.

But when I catch a glimpse of something more in her eyes, when I realize she might feel the

same way, everything starts to unravel. The walls I built to protect my heart begin to crack. The

pull between us grows stronger… and impossible to ignore.

Wanting her isn’t the scariest part. Losing her would be devastating.

Kendall & Jude’s emotional small-town romance is perfect for readers who love slow-burn

tension, broody heroes, fierce heroines, and best friends who fall hard when everything’s on the

line.

One kiss. One choice. One love worth risking everything for.

This was a beautiful, heartfelt romance where friends maneuver a new relationship from just friends to expressing their true feelings, which include a future together as a couple.

Kendell and Jude's love story was beautifully portrayed. They had done the work as friends, outside forces, and life interfered as they embraced this new life. While having their own emotional issues, they were working through them, which were raw and real.

The story embraces healing, love, forgiveness, family, success, and hope for a beautiful future. The dynamic of the Silver family is beautifully portrayed as a whole; they have suffered much, yet they show up and support one another and openly love one another, even when one of them needs to spread their wings to heal.

Our favorite character was Kendell, a woman who has a heart of gold, is loving and caring, and beautiful on the inside and out. She comes with a bunch of family drama; she can't turn her back on them, it is who she is, and we would not have her any other way. She quickly realises, though, that it's not just her anymore, and she needs to find balance between the old her and her new reality.

The characters are great, engaging, and loving, and Jude is one of those swoony characters who wears his heart on his sleeve for the woman he loves. We loved this emotionally charged romance. You will laugh, love, and fall in love with its characters, especially Tommy, that boy is a heart stopper through and through.
