MaverickThere’s something missing, has been for a while. When my best friend asks me to help out his band when the lead singer quit, I jump at the opportunity. I’ve never felt a rush like I get when I get on stage and strum my guitar. That is until I see her and everything around me fades. She’s the one I wasn’t looking for. Now that I’ve found her there’s nothing in this world that will keep me … keep me from holding onto her and making her MINE.
Kinsley
I have no business thinking about the man on stage. I’ve got a baby at home and an ex I never want to see again. I need to stay focused, but he’s the sexiest guy I’ve ever seen, and he keeps staring at me, making me hope for things I shouldn’t. Tell that to my heart that has already given herself away.
Holding Onto Kinsley is book one in the Holding On series. This is an insta love romance with a Happily Ever After. Each book is a standalone book but will have interconnecting characters. Holding Onto Becca is book two in the series and will be out late summer 2018.

I loved this new story from Elisa Leigh so much <3 It was beautiful and powerful for us women, who may have had an ex like Liam. Kinsley was such a strong woman and who do anything for her baby girl, Sadie, who was adorable 🙂 She went through so much after the blinders fell from her eyes with her ex Liam, that when she finally escaped his clutches, she did everything to give her daughter a good yet simple but happy living and then she met, the true love of her life, her soulmate, Maverick <3 I also loved Maverick's character too, he would do anything for his girls, Kingsley and little Sadie and he did <3
I felt for Kinsley and her situation but she was a survivor and had to be strong for her baby girl. She's truly a great mother so I understood her slight hesitation at first when she met Maverick. She didn't want to get hurt again, especially now that she had a daughter to provide for and protect. Her ex, Liam, really was a piece of scum but luckily with a little help from an unexpected person in the near end, Kinsley and little Sadie are able to escape Liam's clutches once and for all, and get to be with the love of her life, Maverick, the father that little Sadie deserves and he loves as his own and also make a beautiful family of their own as well <3
The epilogue was simply beautiful and I loved every moment of reading this story 🙂
Maverick has been searching for something and hasn’t found it yet. He has had success for his entire life but it just isn’t enough. That is until he sees a girl singing in her car in the parking lot of the bar he is performing in with his band. He knows that she is it for him and he just needs to play it careful so he doesn’t scare her off. Kinsley hasn’t had the easiest life. She escaped from a loveless marriage to a criminal and has managed to fly under the radar keeping the most important thing to her secret, her daughter. When she sees Maverick, she can’t help but check him out. But she doesn’t see romance or a happy ending in her future and tries to brush him off. But when a man from Kinsley’s past shows up in the bar, she is terrified. Maverick can’t let anything happen to her, not when he just found her and her sweet baby. He needs them in his life and will do whatever it takes to keep them there.
I need to say right off the bat that I am a fan of insta-love, a couple going all in together. I read for the fantasy and Ms Leigh provides that so sweetly! I know it isn’t for everyone but I love it. Mav and Kinsley are so darn adorable and I enjoyed my time with them. I was sad to come to the end of the story but flipped the last page with that wonderful feeling in your chest of pure happiness when you finish a good book. I’m also pretty sure that we will soon have another tale involving a friend of Mav’s and Kinsley’s best friend/roommate. As this is the fifth book of Ms Leigh’s that I have read in a matter of days it is safe to say that I have found a new author to follow and count the days till her next release!
Cute read…a bit far fetched in the speed of their love, but then I don’t read for realism! A great HEA!
OMG I loved this book! Mav and Kinsley were amazing together. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book. Mav, Kins, and Sadie will give you all you are looking for!
Wow Maverick and Kinsley…could there be a more perfect couple? I absolutely loved this book. I can’t wait to see where book 2 takes us. Amazing as always Elisa…Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us.

This is a sweet romance your going to love..fast easy read, that will leave you with a smile.
This book was so sweet! Elisa Leigh always manages to create amazing stories. I devoured this book in one sitting it was so good. Maverick was so perfect with not only Kinsley but her daughter as well. I am anxious for the next book in this series to see how Becca and Griffin’s story goes!
I am convinced that this author and write no wrong… This was such an amazing story, filled with passion, lust, humor, a wonderful plot and amazing characters! This is a book one in a new series of standalone stories. Each featuring a new couple but built into the same world so we are sure to revisit our favorite characters! This story is the story of Maverick and Kinsley; and OH MY GOODNESS, Maverick is a new favorite!
Maverick (love the name by the way), is a CEO and a musician. When his best friend asks him to cover for him in his band, Maverick jumps at the chance. This might just be what he needs to feel complete in his life. Little does he know it is, just not the way he was thinking!
Kinsley is a young mom, and works at the bar where Maverick will be playing. She is slightly jaded with men after her ex was caught with another woman. She is a strong and determined woman (just like all this authors female leads) and is not looking for love. Kinsley is an AMAZING mother and is what any women would strive to be.
When Maverick firsts sees Kinsley you know it is going to be passionate and fun! I loved the insta-love these two shared and the passion was clearly felt. I enjoyed reading the coming together of these three people (Maverick, Kinsley and her daughter) and how the family developed. This author as a way with words, making the reader fall not only in love but allows the reader to magically become part of these characters worlds. I cannot get enough of her works and she is an instant one-click for me. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review, but I also bought this (I would buy it many times over if I could). Please give this book a try if you are new to this author, you will NOT be disappointed!
This book was Everything! Maverick is a swoon worthy alpha all the way, Kinsley ran from her past thinking she’ll never get rid of her nightmare but what she didn’t bank on was her running to her Happy Ending. Love every minute of this book, 5 stars of course
