Ok so after seeing this advertised on Social media I had to try and find a copy for myself. The search was not lost and I ended up reading this in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. An altogether easy practicable read but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved this!!!! So happy when he finally realized he always loved her and when she finally told him! So cute

absolutely adorable, i loved everything about this book, the plot, the romance, the sex. this was top tier.
adventurous challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

Not as steamy as I expected given the cover. Cute story, worth the read if you need/want something light and quick. Was a good break from heavier material.

I was expecting this to be a predictable rom-com but it was actually deeper than I expected. Mina was so determined to achieve her dreams and I was really rooting for her the whole time. Nick was a great cinnamon roll hero and his support was sweet. Even though there was kind of a third act breakup it didn't bother me.

Honestly I don't think the fake-dating storyline was necessary. I love that trope but it wasn't fleshed out at all. It could've been completely taken out and it wouldn't have hurt the story at all.

I really enjoyed this one overall and look forward to reading the rest of this series and more from this author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25

This book has been on my TBR for literally the longest time ever and I cannot believe I was sitting on this pot of gold for so long.

This book was sooo good that I red it in one sitting. Mina and Nick are soooo inevitably cute together. Love the banter between that, it makes it even more better. I could read so much more about them!!

I will be definitely reading the rest of this series hoping the the other books are just as good.

I only had one issues and it's that when everything start unravelling at the end I did not really like the way Mina handled the situation. I understand she had a very very difficult childhood and she was mistreated but i don't know, it still rubbed me the wrong way a bit. Other than that it was really good!

I fucking loved this book so much it was different because the grumpy guy was also like the sweetest man at times and he was a romantic I was just blown away I need the physical copy soon so I can annotate and have it with me forever. Mina is such an amazing woman she is ambitious and kind and selfless she is a perfect main character and her daddy issues were relatable not like overly fictional and it just mad sense. I loved this book and will recommend it to anyone who needs a good romance book.

Wow! If you like a slow burn steamy romance than Hold Me Today is for you. Who says opposites do not attract? Whoever said that obviously has not read this book. I'm not gonna lie and say that this book pulled me in right away because it did not. HOWEVER I am so glad I stuck it out and finished reading it. This book is sweet and emotional that yes I blinked back a few tears.

I felt so many emotions where Mina is concerned. I would love to go into great detail just how much I adored this character, but I am really trying really hard not to include any kind of spoilers.The author wrote this character so well that you can feel the emotions as you are reading them. Mina is a strong sassy Greek woman that has a heart of gold. It does not matter how you have treated her in the past she look past it. Since she was a little girl she was treated different from what some consider to be a downfall. Mina comes out stronger for it as she proves to everybody that if you work for what you want your dreams can come true.

Nick is a Greek man and is a hopeless romantic and so swoon worthy. All he wants us to find someone to spend the rest of his life with. Having been burned in the past Nick is just living day to day. When he loves he loves with everything he is and deserves just that in return. Nick shows Mina just what she is missing in life. She helps Nick learn to live a little on the wild side. They both help break down the walls that they each have built around their hearts. What starts out as a "favor" turns into a whole lot more for these two.

Can the two of them together show each other just what the other is missing out of life! Can love conquer years and years of insecurities that have been instilled? Read this amazing book to see just what love can overcome.
