No Holding Back by Kate Evangelista
4.0
No Holding Back is the second book in the Dodge Cove series, but you needn’t have read the first one to enjoy this one (I didn’t!).
This book was originally brought to my attention (not only because of that gorgeous cover) through Bookevin’s awesome review, and I knew I had to pick it up IMMEDIATELY.
I haven’t dabbled in much of SwoonReads’ catalogue and I’m kicking myself as to why not because if the other titles follow this sickly sweet formula then you can sign me right up.
Preston and Nathan were so adorable! I loved getting the backstory on their relationship and how that was a foundation through the entire novel. They were constantly supporting each other (even through their fights) and I was definitely rooting for them from the start.
While the plot was predictable, I actually enjoyed that? I haven’t read a book like this since high school (aka, a long time ago) so it was nice to dabble in something short and fluffy. I’ll definitely be checking out the first book in the series, No Love Allowed (and eagerly anticipating the next one, even though this one just came out!).
Are you a fan of Stephenie Perkins? Then check out this one and fall in love along with Nathan and Preston (there’s descriptions of hot swimmer’s bods. You know you need that in your life).
