Releasing Me

Holding You, Book 2

By: Jewel E. Ann

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Bradley Ford

A tragic accident. A hidden past. An unbreakable love.

Addy gives Quinn everything and asks for nothing. Then he breaks her. The depths of her pain are veiled by the reflection of his own. He doesn't deserve her, but he wants her—he needs her. In his darkest hell, he hears her voice. That's when he knows... Addy is his soul.

In her darkest hour, his weakness gives her strength, and she discovers his past holds her future. But first, he'll have to let her go.

great story

just realizing I read this book years ago but it was just released in audio. this is OG Mia Sheridan and absolutely worth the credit.

Wow a lot of grief for one woman

Enjoyed these two books very much. FMC trauma filled life leads her to run away instead of confronting problems. Narrators did a great job .

keep you inter

Great story. kept you interested full time. never bored. Will look for more from author. love and honor all the way.

Not My Favorite

I'm a huge fan and have listened to most of her books. This series and this book in particular isn't my favorite. Quinn never really grew on me. He was basically really good looking and really good at sex. He does truly love Addie, which gave him a few points. But he was really unkind to basically everyone else around him. His excessive possessiveness towards Addie really, really bothered me. It also baffled me as to why that didn't bother Addie. I mean she put him in his place a couple of times but he just kept being super possessive of her.

Also, his tendency to be deeply cutting and aggressive when he's angry or upset was also not ok. Somehow, Addie, an extremely intelligent, confident, independent and forthright person seemed to just shrug at it. As a matter of fact, Ithe toxicity of their relationship during the rough patches of their relationship was a major turn off.

Finally, I found the amount of sex in the book to be really boring. It made it so that when the few times when the sex symbolized their connection less special. As a result, this book dragged on for me.

This duet by no means will turn me off if JEA's books. She is an extremely talented author who is terrific at writing interesting non-formulaic books that usually delights and surprises me. I just don't think it's her best work, which is completely ok.

Vegan

Least favorite of Jewel E Ann. Most predictable and the vegan talk was overboard in my opinion.
