A country-music star returns home to win back the woman he loves in this charming holiday novella from New York Times bestselling author Shannon Stacey
Ava
Wright isn't happy to see her high school sweetheart rolling into their
hometown a few weeks before Christmas. He's only come back to bury his
estranged father, but there's no way she'll be able to avoid him. No one
can: he's become a country-music superstar since going solo and leaving
Ava behind.
Jace
Morrow grew up believing "money can't buy happiness" was something
people said to make themselves feel better. But now he knows it's the
truth: no matter how many number-one hits he has, he'll never recapture
the magic of singing with Ava. Missing her—loving her—and living with
making the wrong choice in life were what made him who he is.
When
Jace is roped into being part of the town's annual Christmas party, he
only cares about earning Ava's forgiveness. And though Ava's heart has
never healed, she loved Jace too much and for too long to shut him out
when he's hurting. As they fall in love all over again, they're both
faced with choices for their future…and this time Jace intends to make
the right one.

What I thought about Hold Her Again
Ava returns home to her little town, her heart broken. She doesn't hear from Jace except for the hit song he wrote for her that stirs up all sorts of memories she doesn't want to hear about or face. I don't blame her. But when Jace returns home to lay his father to rest, there's no way Ava will be able to avoid Jace.
Hold Her Again answers the story of whether Ava can forgive Jace for what he did, and whether Jace can have it all, including Ava when he returns to Nashville. There's still love between these two and they have to work through their past hurts to see if the love between them can thrive again.
This was the perfect Sunday afternoon read for me. It's Shannon Stacey, so the writing is definitely good as are the portrayal of all the different emotions that Ava and Jace must face with his return to town. It wasn't easy for Ava to forgot how Jace devastated her, but there is still a spark between them, and that kept me reading until the very last page.
Hold Her Again is a very sweet second chance novella that is just perfect for when you are looking for something a bit shorter than a full-length novel, but it still packs all the emotions between the pages.
