MINE TO HOLD by Kennedy L. Mitchell

 

Release Date: April 18


Can Bryson keep her safe, or will Tinley’s past nightmare become her new reality?

Every moment, Tinley Harper lives in fear that the man who abducted her ten years ago will keep his promise and return to finish what he started. Scared and alone in her older brother’s absence, she welcomes a familiar handsome face, Special Agent Bryson Bennett, when he comes knocking on her door.

FBI Agent Bryson Bennett knows it’s time to put his past behind him and move on from the tragic accident that left him a single father. When his best friend calls out of fear for his little sister’s safety, Bryson jumps in to protect the beautiful Tinley for fear that another person close to him will be taken away.

Stuck together in her tiny apartment, the two fight to control their unspoken attraction. Anonymous disturbing gifts, new murders, and watchful eyes that monitor their every move signal that Tinley’s terrifying past is now bleeding into her present. As passion burns, dark secrets are revealed, and the elusive stalker seeks to catch them unawares. Can Bryson keep her safe, or will Tinley’s past nightmare become her new reality?

Mine to Hold is a standalone romantic thriller, the fifth book in the interconnected Protection Series. Each book can be read as a standalone but due to character crossover the series is best read in order. Please note this book DOES contain several triggers (stalking, murder, mention of past abuse, memories of time in captivity, and more) and detailed mature content. This book is recommended for readers 18+.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:

Mine to Hold is the fifth book in the Protection series but each book can be read as a stand-alone. The book was fast-paced, relatively easy to read, and had characters and a plot with multiple layers which kept my attention.  The prologue was intense and full of intrigue so I couldn’t put the book down.

Tinley's nightmares from being abduction ten years ago still haunt her.  The man who had taken her promised to come back for her and now she feels like she is being watched.  She was glad to have Bryson, her brother’s best friend, stay with her while her brother Tallon was out of town.  Besides making her feel safe, she has crushed on him for years.

Widowed with a two-year-old daughter, FBI Agent Bryson Bennett had yet to move on in life.  Work and his daughter kept him busy but when his best friend calls asking him to watch over his sister, Bryson doesn’t hesitate.  Upon learning the cases Tallon is working on are similar to Tinley’s abduction, Bryson becomes suspicious and is vigilant in looking after Tinley. 

This was another fantastic book in the series, and I highly recommend the series if you are looking for steamy romance and intrigue.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
