A sweet second chance romance.
From the blurb:
One hidden crush.
One bunch of plastic mistletoe.
One alcohol-fueled kiss.
One set of taillights as Max Martino left town.
Sixteen years later…
Sam Addison hates change, and his company’s new merger is stretching him to his limit. When Sam finds out an older, hotter, and amazingly talented Max Martino is part of the acquisition, he knows the only way to protect his heart is to avoid Max—and their history—at any cost.
Max never planned to settle down, but recently he’s been pining for roots. A new job, a new city, and a second chance with Sam makes the thought of staying in one place exciting for the first time ever.
But the harder Max pushes, the farther Sam runs, sometimes literally, and Max begins to wonder if Sam can ever let go of the biggest mistake Max ever made—leaving.
But maybe a second chance at forever is as simple as holding the door open for love.
Hold the Door is the first full-length novel in the Open Doors series and features an accountant who’s uptight unless he’s on the beach, a globetrotting travel photographer who never realized he wanted to settle down, and surfing lessons that often lead to more.
Lesetiger's review:
This was my first book by Vinni George, and I really enjoyed it.
After a kiss—brought about by a sprig of mistletoe, one of the boys’ crush on the other, and the panic that their paths might now diverge—Sam and Max meet again after 16 years.
The author’s writing style is wonderful, and I found it easy to get into the story.
I found the story entertaining. Max and Sam are likable characters who are sometimes very funny in their interactions. Sam’s attempts to avoid Max at the office were particularly amusing. But once they’re together in the elevator, they start talking to each other. I liked how their relationship developed. But at times I could have shaken both of them, because guys, how hard is it to communicate? Phew, but otherwise the story was fun.
The narrator was also new to me, but I think he did a great job. He has a pleasant voice, and I could easily distinguish between Sam and Max in his narration. He also read with a lot of variety.
Hold the Door is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback, and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
