RELEASE DATE: March 31, 2015
Heavyweight
fighter Denver Lewis plays real nice, but he doesn't share. That's why
he's been avoiding top-notch flirt Cherry Peyton. But a man can only
resist those lush curves for so long. Their encounter surpasses all his
fantasies, bringing out protective urges that Cherry's about to need
more than she knows…
Denver's combination of pure muscle and
unexpected tenderness has been driving Cherry wild. Yet no sooner does
she get what she's been craving than old troubles show up on her
doorstep. And this time, Cherry can't hide behind a carefree facade.
Because the man by her side is one who'll fight like hell to keep her
safe…if only she'll trust him enough to let him…
I
am addicted to the characters of this series! Miss Lori has
successfully kept my interest up and alive with how she delivers each of
the guys’ stories. Holding Strong unleashed the same amount
of heat, action, suspense, and romance as the first book, No Limits.
Just like Cannon, Denver was engrossing (so will the rest of the guys,
I’m sure!). I spent a full day savoring all 475 pages of this awesome
book!
...days after meeting her, he’d known sex wasn’t the only thing he wanted. He’d already begun to think of her as his, even though he hadn’t even kissed her yet.
Denver Lewis knew what a losing battle looked like. One look at Cherry Peyton and he knew this was a fight he was never going to win. Denver was all kinds of hot. Singling out his obvious hot bod, he unleashed all kinds of steam through his passion for fighting, his loyalty to the ones he loved, and his capability to love fiercely. His strength and his alpha-maleness oozed out of the pages and I couldn't help but love him. Especially when he unleashes caveman Denver!
But he wanted to hold her close and care for her, and for however long it took for her to get well, he wanted to be with her. With or without her looking her usual irresistible self. With or without sex.
Cherry Peyton was a strong, beautiful, and sweet woman. In No Limits , she unleashed her sweet charms and her darling smiles like it’s what she was made to do. Never did I even imagine that she had so many secrets and a very dark past. I admired her more when I learned about how she fought away from that nightmare and stood tall on her own. I loved the perfect mix of sexy, sass, strength and vulnerability in her character.
“It’s a lot to take in, I know, because I’ve been living with it since meeting you.”
“Living with...?”
“The overwhelming need to fuck you senseless, to make you come again and again until the only man you can see is me.”
The heat and chemistry between Denver and Cherry was instantaneous. It was well-established and I had no doubt that they were hot together. However, I just felt a little rushed at the beginning with how things went from carnal need to a deeper form of care and affection. For two people who held back lusting at each other, it was quite a quick shift from thoughts of once-upon-a-time to happily-ever-after. Nevertheless, I really loved Denver and Cherry together. And it’s not solely due to the sheet-burning sex but also because of the cute and sweet gestures they unconsciously did to each other. One more thing I loved is how Denver’s temper riled up and how Cherry seemed to be armed with the right words to say. Same with when Cherry felt doubtful and Denver knew exactly how to calm her down. I really dig that part about them.

Upon the establishment of Denver and Cherry’s feelings, the storyline started to get more gripping. The main conflict didn’t root from their relationship but from their pasts. It stirred my head for a while and has kept me flipping and flipping, hungry for the next bit of the story. The book was hard to put down! It was steamy, romantic, sweet, fun, action-filled, and entertaining! Lori Foster continues to enchant with her exhilarating writing prose and addictive and fun characters! She definitely knows how to make readers clamor for more. I can’t wait for the next books in this series! #ArmingforArmie
