Say You Won't Let Go: A Return to Me/Masters and Mercenaries Novella

Say You Won't Let Go was just Ah-Mazing! I truly enjoyed meeting Cooper and Emily. It was a bitter sweet story for me. When I read that Cooper was still into a past love, I was not sure there would ever be a future with Emily. But this girl was determined! As an upcoming country star, Emily is ready to show Copper what he has been missing out all of these years. But a new threat comes in and now Cooper will make sure she is protected. These two have a second chance at love. I was a little skeptical that with the baggage Cooper brings, these two would not make it before they started. With Corrine Michaels, she makes all possible. There was a little bit of drama, with a whole lot of sexiness!

This is part of the Lexi Blake crossover series and I just have to say, it was amazing! I've been dying for Cooper's story since w were first introduced to him in the Return to Me series. Cooper's story was everythign I wanted and more. I couldn't help but love this side to him we hadn't been introduced to yet. I loved every one of the Hennington brothers, but I might just have loved Cooper even more. He loves fiercely and with his whole heart. Which made it even better! Emily and Cooper grew up together and now Emily is a making her name known as a musician. Cooper is still back home running his family ranch in Bell Buckle. Like every friend's to lovers story there is something that has to try their relationship from day one. Their story is no different. I loved watching Cooper get all protective and fierce in keeping Emily safe. Their story was sweet and just wanted I needed for Cooper. It had moments I wasn't expecting, the suspense factor was awesome and the love/romance was perfect.

***3 Stars*** When I found out I won a copy of Say You Won’t Let Go, I was really excited because I’ve been wanting to read a Corinne Michaels book, but just never had the time to read one. So, I dove in and while things started off really good, there came that point where it went sideways for me when it came to the romance side of things. Thankfully I was all in when it came to the suspense angle and really enjoyed how that played out. I liked Emily and Cooper, I did. Cooper is a good man. He cares about his family and is protective of those he considers his. Emily hasn’t had an easy life, but she’s a fighter and is now making her dreams come true. My issue came when they became a “couple”. Things happen quickly in a novella, and this one is no different, but there was just something missing for me. I just didn’t feel going on between them other than lust, but I could deal and roll with it. What got me was Emily herself. She made statements in the beginning and then did a full on 180 on them, IMHO, and that just didn’t work for me and that’s when things went sideways when it came to the romance. As for the suspense. I thought it was done well and when all the pieces were put together made sense. And then there was Wade (McKay-Taggart bodyguard). I really wish we’d gotten more of him in every way possible, but the bit we did get I really liked and I want more. I really wanted to like this one more than I did, but it is what it is, though I will say that despite the romance not really working for me, I did enjoy the writing as a whole and will be looking into trying out other books by the author.
