You get a lot more of the back story in this book. And seeing Ella heal and grow is nice to see. Left on another cliff hanger, but Ella was being a little annoying at the end.

This book is a lot spicier than the first. The story is OK and the characters are interesting but I don’t think the story is what really matters here.
The spicy scenes are the main draw for most readers, although I must confess that as someone who isn’t necessarily straight the story is very interesting.
It is not a masterpiece but it does way better than some other books in the same genre that are out there.

This is the second book in the Love the Way series and picks up right where Kiss Me ended. This is one of those books that manages to give you all the feels, and expression I usually don't use but so aptly fits this book. It's so beautifully written and does such a good job of giving us a piece of a beautiful love story, while also showing us the various depths of grief and grieving and how that process can be similar and yet different for people. You get both Ella and Zander's viewpoints as we move through this story and it's incredibly moving, emotional and yet also very sexy, steamy with a bit of kink. I can't believe we will have to wait 10 months to get the next installment, but it definitely won't be a hardship to reread both Kiss Me and Hold Me as we get closer to that release. If you love emotional, moving but steamy books, this one is definitely for you! You feel like you are right there with Ella and Zander as they experience their emotions- it's just so beautifully written.
I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book and have voluntarily left an honest review.

Hold onto your hats - it's gonna be a bumpy ride!! This book takes over right where the last one stopped, right in the middle of Zander's confrontation of his betrayal to the organization. But his way to break through and help Ella only draws them closer and closer. But can Ella understand the fine line between submissive and lover? Or once the line is crossed, will Ella's health come crashing down? With more secrets revealed that leaves the reader with more questions than answers this was a fabulous read. I need the next installment soon - cannot wait for more!!

I have been anticipating this book for a few months, and Willow Winters & Amelia Wilde did not let me down! I loved it and didn’t do much other than read this for a few days

The story continues after Kiss Me, still dual POV and we continue with Zander and Ella's story, we get some answers but there is a lot to unveil for the next one. The steamy scenes are quite good, the characters development keeps ongoing and so the story is quite interesting, I can't wait to see how this concludes, definitely a good story.

Hold on friends, the story takes off and sprints and I loved it! The stage was set in Kiss Me and Hold Me hits the ground running. You won't be able to resist reading one more page as Zander and Ella's relationship unfolds. They fight for what they have and for each other. There are amazing scenes between the two of them, both steamy hot and also sensitive and sweet. I had all the feels with this one.
Ella starts to come back to life under Zander's care and hand, and some of his old wounds begin to heal over. But the past is never too far behind them. Ghosts from both their pasts create emotional turmoil and doubt in each other. The past will not be ignored and can not be closed behind a door. Revelations are made that create more questions than answers at times and the ending will catch you completely off guard. I was floored and can't wait to dive into the last of this trilogy! This story was amazing and blew my mind in all the good ways.

What an incredible second part to Zander and Elle‘s story!
Hold me is emotional and super steamy!
Both authors have created a fabulous story with these two characters and I already need the next one in my hands now! Especially after that ending and all the mystery revealed in book 2.
Incredible story all over.
