Hold Me Close by Vanessa Vale

5.0

Vanessa Vale has a way of immersing a reader into her character's lives, that leaves a reader feeling the emotions those characters experience. It isn't just reading, it's living inside the book.
Rachel is tired of being alone, and she longs for a family like the rest of her siblings have. Matt and Ethan are looking for the one who will complete them. Things start out a little rocky, but soon they will all have the things they have been searching for.
This is a beautiful romance, full of hope, despair, passion, and love. The pace is gentle, and it flows smoothly. The characters are people you fall instantly in love with. The love scenes are the perfect blend of steam and tenderness. It's a quick read, that doesn't feel rushed, and leaves you with a feeling of happiness and contentment.
