It didn't add to anything and didn't provide me with anything new. I ended up skimming that everytime I saw that, which was quite often. Now I am off to internet stalk the author to find out if and how soon I can get my hands on the deliciousness that is Drake. And I thank you

Reviews

Claire may come off as a delicate flower, broken, vulnerable and fragile…she is anything but. As has been my experience with this series, Cynthia Eden’s heroines have a quiet strength. They don’t need to be loud, sassy or in your face. It’s an inner strength that shines through effortlessly and when it matters most. And her heroes……yeah, where does one stand in line for them? They are alpha. They take charge. They SATISFY. But above all, they’re an intriguing combination of strength and vulnerability. Even they have their weaknesses, and though the outside world may not see it, they aren’t afraid to share that with their woman. Someone else is just as consumed by Claire—someone who will kill to possess her. And if Noah can’t stop the hunter in the darkness, he may just lose the one woman that he can’t live without. Nevertheless, I will still eagerly await Cynthia Eden’s next books, but this book just wasn’t for me. I had a hard time understanding the writing. It seemed to have lots of unnecessary parts and filler scenes especially leading up to the wedding and during the "honeymoon" trip. Mine to Hold didn’t deliver any unexpected twists. I knew the path the story would take, however it still kept me entertained. The story shows one has to be careful who they allow in their circle. Not everyone in your circle is happy for you. There is always that one who is jealous of you and will try any means to tear you down.

After a horrific tragedy in her teens that cost her both her parents, and the recent brutal murder of her sister, Claire is running. That's all she knows how to do, move from place to place and make no attachments. Especially to a man. But then when she has no other choice, she finds herself turning for help to the only man that has tempted her in over 9 years.Another great recommendation! A new romantic suspense author (for me) that will have me hooked on her books!! There were a few good aspects and surprises that developed between Shelby and Ace but I wished there was more. I wanted more of their history as friends and this underlying attraction. It just seemed like it was instant and almost by default. There was plenty of spice that people would enjoy but I just felt so disconnected with the characters that it was hard to enjoy that. Someone is after Claire and the stakes are getting higher. She is being followed and people are turning up dead. But who is after her and why? Noah York is a man with blood, death and secrets in his past. He’s a man who lives a tightly controlled life. A wealthy hotel mogul who doesn’t keep a woman more than a day or two. He doesn’t need the complications or the emotions. But Claire is different. He felt a twinge of something when they met in Mine to Keep. She’s strong. She’s beautiful. And she’s a survivor. He feels the need to protect her. To shield her from more pain. To ravage her. The desire is strong, but so is the danger. Can Noah keep Claire safe from those set to destroy her? Can he find a way to keep his control and make Claire his? What happens if he loses that control? Where is the line between obsession and love? You're going on your honeymoon?" I look over at her. "Alone." "No." She giggles, and I know that she's drunk. "I'm not going alone, silly." She continues giggling and leans over and bops my nose. "I'm taking you with me."
