Hold Me Today

3.95 AVERAGE


This book was soo good
It had the right amount of smut, humour and romance!!

Mina was honestly amazing I loved her banter and the way she felt about her parents and Greek background broke me
I just wanted to hug her and scream she was enough

Nick!! Nick was the perfect book boyfriend
The way he made her feel like she was important and the way he realised al along he loved her !! He was the perfect gentlemen and was so romantic
And every time he said “koukla” I melted !!


Now them together was eveything and so much more
I love how they were both lost and felt alone until they found each other romantically and both found home !!

I honestly can’t stop thinking about it

I read this in audio which Iam only just getting into but Iam going to read a physcial copy again and fall I love with it all over agin

I thought this was an average read. Honestly, it felt a good 100-200 pages too long. There was quite a bit of repetition of past events, inner monologues, etc. The whole fake dating element was so random and not at all needed. It was enough to have Mina just ask Nick to renovate her salon and have their forced working relationship develop. I didn't get the reality show element at all. I also didn't get why events like the aeekend away were included. It wasn't that well developed and seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere and with no benefit.

I liked the chemistry and the banter between Nick and Mina, but I felt their relationship was a bit inconsistent. It started as enemies, but by the end, they were all 'Oh, I've always secretly loved you, I knew you'd be the one to heal me!' Yet that was a complete contrast to how it had started. I just felt that if we were going enemies to lovers, then own it.

Would probably read another by this author, but I'd want it to be tighter.

Oh My Gah!!!!!!!! Y'all this book was absolutely freaking fantastic!!!!!
This was my first read by this author but I can't wait for more by her!

Nick and Mina are the perfect couple. I love the banter between them.
Mina is so sarcastic, some of the things that she said had me laughing so hard I cried.

Nick is like the ultimate romantic and seriously swoon-worthy.

I don't wanna give anything away so i'm going to end this by saying.... I think everyone should read this. It was amazing and definitely worth while. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

This is a solid fake dating romance book. I did find myself struggling to start but once the story got going I enjoyed it. Mina & Nick are really cute together. I did feel that this book went on and on and while I enjoyed it, the middle slogged a bit for me. This was like not love for me but enjoyable all the same. 

Mina has had a crush on Nick, her best friend’s brother, for as long as she’s known him. They fought constantly, though. But isn’t that always the way with the ones who are most attracted to each other?

This book is about Nick, who was on a Bachelor-type show, and Mina, who is opening her own salon. She needs him to renovate her salon, and he needs a fake girlfriend. They’re both of Greek heritage, which plays a huge role on the story.

Perfect

One of the best things about 2018 was discovering this author. Every book(and I mean every book) she has written has had me engrossed from the first page. There is always humor, a touch of snark, and genuine love. She gives a fresh perspective or spin on her stories that always are real and romantic.

Nick might be one of my favorite characters. He is a good guy. He's not possessive or an alpha. However, don't be fooled as being weak. He's got the mouth when he needs it. Good lord, does he ever. Mina. This girl could be me with her sarcasm and free spirit.I loved her self discovery. I loved seeing this turn into something more. The anticipation was killing me for these two coming together. I loved the way the Greek language was included in this story tying in their culture. Since I was little, I've been fascinated by language and Greek was one of my favorites (no idea why as I'm not Greek). So it was fun to see the language and also my favorite way of seeing Love said. AGAPE.

I cannot speak highly enough at how amazing this book was or how phenomenal this author is. I highly recommend it everything she writes. It only takes one book to become hooked.

This was cute. I liked the Greek aspect.
