I love this series. I read the first book and broke away to read a few other books. Then came back to this one. I felt by breaking away to read something more that I may of missed something. If you can I recommend reading them in order and back to back if possible, if you can’t not a big deal. I thought I loved Aiden from the first book, Run. I fell in love with Holden and Julia. I would take Julia’s place any day. Holden is a possessive, hot, sexy alpha who could protect me any day. This book was a page turner and hard to put down. I intend to read the next book in this series, Break.
This series just keeps getting better and better. We meet Holden and Julia in Run. They are both drawn to each other, but refuse to give on to their lust/love until their own story. The way they interact with each other is great. They keep each other on their toes and DO NOT take sh#t from each other. Julia is still recovering from her incident from the 1st book. There is some issues with her sister which at 1 point I wanted to b#$ch slap for a little bit. Holden’s protectiveness is over the top, because he is going to make sure nobody harms his Angel. This series a must read if you enjoy hot alphas and the witty women who keep said alphas on their toes!
Overcoming the past
Not necessarily a second chance at love, just that the second time they are around each other for any amount of time may lead to love. Due to an accident in the past, they are given a second chance to look closer at the other person and see who they really are, who they may hide from others. Can they help each other and learn to trust someone else? You will definitely love Julia and Holden!
The emotional scars run deep as Julia hides her true desires, and Holden refuses to let her run again. He comes on strong, but she refuses to take his Alpha crap, until he may just be her best chance at not only survival but a happily ever after. If they can both learn to be vulnerable and trust again maybe they will run out of reasons to hide.
I think Holden may be my new favorite in this series! He is smoking and hilarious. Made it such an interesting book! Couldn’t put it down! Was entertained by the whole cast
Love me an alpha male and this series has them in spades!!. Lots of loving, protective, stubborn men. Holden and Julia meet in the first book of the series. Their story is a tear filled journey that tests both of them. But as they say…what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. This series is best read in order due to overlapping and reoccuring characters!! Love this series….on to book 3!!
I loved this book, for it was time to learn more about Julia who I loved in the first book. After what happened to her in book one, I didn’t know how she would come back from that. But, she did and she was still her sassy self and then can Holden back into her life and things were steaming up for them. In book Julia had her own people to worry about that were out to get her and as you get lost in this book you get to read how it all worked out.
This book is a tug of war between Holden and Julia. He does something and she pushes back. I love that she is a match for this hard working, serious alpha. However, he is her rock and is trying to pull her out of the chaos that is her life, and we get to learn more about these characters in the process. I really enjoyed this story.
I was excited to read Julia and Holden’s story, after meeting them in book one, Run. I actually liked this story better than the first one, mostly because I liked the characters more. I did have issues with Holden being so overbearing at times, after all that Julia went through in Run. I also don’t care for the cover, since it was stated in the book that both characters were scarred, Holden was tattooed, and Julia had dark hair. Other than that, I really enjoyed this story. I laughed out loud when Julia was hanging out with Holden’s dad, and I loved that she gave Holden enough attitude that he couldn’t remain an ice man toward her. They were so good together. I am enjoying this series, and I’m sure the next one will be great, too.
I’ll be honest… I wasn’t sure what i would think about book 2 in this series. I usually try not to read series. BUT I am so very glad I did!! Holden and Julia’s story was amazing! It was just as good as book 1 Run…. Julia had me cracking up out loud, and Holden….. well he knows what he wants and will play the game and protect when he has to! OMG!!! Amazing!
Another awesome book in the series. It had everything the first book had but a little more emotional in some parts. I loved Julia, she was so funny. And Holden was another hot, overprotective male. I loved the hospital escapes, they were just great. Holden’s dad with all his guns, grenades, and cannons…LOVED IT! But most of all, Holden and Julia loved each other with all they had. Even while pissing each other off. As I was reading this, I really felt like I was in the book. Could not put it down.
Julia, a free sprit musician, scarred and traumatized from a horrible incident that happened last year, when her best friend’s ex boyfriend kidnaps her, trying to get to Liv. Julia returns home to sing at Liv and Aidan’s wedding. She was not expecting to run into Holden, Aidan’s cocky, arrogant coworker, who she met previously and did not exactly like.
They have a love hate relationship, but there is a lot of sexual tension between the 2 of them, which Julia is trying to ignore.
Holden feels some what responsible for what happened to Julia a year ago, so when a crazy, psycho fan starts to terrorize Julia, Holden will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
Thrilling and exciting book.
Highly recommend reading this book. Suggest reading the series in order to get to know the characters better.
Julia Wolf has returned home for the wedding of her best friend Olivia to Aiden Latimer and she feels like it is the perfect time to return after leaving town after she was kidnapped by Olivia’s ex-boyfriend and hurt. But she knows she will probably end up seeing the man who could frustrate her more than any other but also get her heart racing a mile a minute.
Holden Saunders works for Aiden as head of his security and he has his eyes set on Julia, and he will do anything to keep her safe. When he learns that Julia has been receiving threatening notes from a crazed fan he will not let her out of his sight and after her life becomes in danger he will do anything to keep her safe.
As Holden takes Julia away to keep her safe the two begin to grow closer. When Julia learns that someone she is close to has betrayed her trust will she have the ability to see through the lies to find the truth?
When Julia defies Holden will she put herself in more danger and will he be able to get to her in time?
This is the second book in the series and like the first it is full of action from start to finish. This book has you flipping pages as fast as you can as it is hot and you have no idea what is happening next!
Julia was a great character in the first book and I was definitely excited that she was getting her own book and I loved that it was with Holden as the chemistry they had was sizzling!! Julia is a singer but she is not happy with certain aspects of her life, especially the crazy stalker fans. I loved her friendship with Olivia and I understood why she needed to get away after what happened in the first book.
Holden was pure alpha male and he made your heart beat faster with his protective ways over Julia. I loved how he “pretended” to be her boyfriend when in reality there was no pretending at all for him. I loved the lengths he went to in order to keep Julia safe.
I was definitely suspicious of Julia’s sister Allison but needed to know why she was doing certain things that she did. I was shocked and kind of mad at how Allison treated Julia when she herself did nothing bad to her.
I was totally shocked with a few things that were revealed and the ending took me by surprise although I was waiting for something to happen. I was totally worried about Holden at the end!!
This is such a great series and I can’t wait for the next book!
I loved seeing how much being with Julia changed Holden. The two of them together just made my day. I love the giving each other credo because that to me is a perfect relationship.
Julia did what she had to do to survive the events at the end of Run. She took off to California and limited her contact with her best friend Liv. Dealing with that and Aiden’s head of security, Holden are going to be tough now that she is back in Lakefield for Liv and Aiden’s wedding. Holden has been waiting to make his move and now he will never let Julia leave him again. Too bad her stalker might have something to say about that. Julia isn’t sure that she can be in a relationship, especially with Holden since they get on each other’s nerves. You don’t fall in love with someone who makes you crazy, right?
My addiction to Jennifer Vester and her characters continues in Hide. Julia is very different from Liv but just as vulnerable. She has a lot to deal with and Holden is a little bit like a bull in a china shop. So it makes it all the sweeter when they finally get together. Ms Vester is a master at writing jealous/possessive heroes that are lovable and yet you want to smack upside the head frequently. I devoured Hide in one sitting. Now, I’m off to dive into Break, book three about Liv and Julia’s friend Kate and Aiden’s friend Logan!
I really enjoyed the way all the story flow really well. The twists and turns are great and the laughter this book brings will want you to really be a part of the book. The love couple I will say in this book is great and the way it all rolls has me thinking this author really knows what she is writing. The whole body guard thing to all new level but one you can say really makes sense. Really enjoyed reading this.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review…….
Book 2, Holden and Julia’s story has surpassed my expectations!!!! Meeting Holden and Julia in book 1 and reading how they reacted to each other, you knew sparks were going to fly. And fly they did! These two maybe oil and water, but when they mix….fireworks. These 2 are compelling characters, the dialogue is witty, and again the chemistry is unreal. A page turner from start to finish, I cannot wait to read book 3. I cannot believe a haven’t found Jennifer Vester sooner.
WOW!!! JUST WOW!!! Jennifer Vester is a First time AUTHOR for me and She Had Me at the Very First chapter ALONE!! Throw in some blackmail, male dominance, hospital escapes, humor, bombshell Booms!, Mountains, Stalkers & Steamy off the Charts Chemistry between the two main characters- Julia & Holden.
Julia White has been brought back Home to Lakeview for her best friend’s wedding but haunting memories flood back in mind from her past a year ago. Holden Saunders is totally Alpha Male and is committed to getting what He wants. Their banter is Hilarious and their friendship grows throughout the journey of escaping Julia’s so called Stalkers. Holden finally met his match with Julia but like they say “Opposite Attract” and they totally do.
This is the Second Book in the Lakefield and can be read as a Standalone. This Book has All the Feels you can ask for in a book plus the Suspenseful action that took place between the characters themselves. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down!! It was Nonstop Action from the Very beginning and Wondered WHERE you were to Ventured next!
THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK AND CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE FROM JENNIFER VESTER!!
