This is the first book I read from this author and it will not be the last. WOW!! Absolutely brilliant story. I found the premise of Sabrina and Jonas unique and inspiring. Completely a different take on a women discovering her sexuality. It was relatable to me in a way yet still such a fantasy with a crazy starting premise.
I loved that you had both POV. Giving us both POV you truly see the inner workings of both of them coming to terms with falling in love with each other. I have read a lot of BDSM and this was a story like no other I have read. Yes it was scorching hot but it had a strong storyline.
The banter, fights, miscommunication and working through those I found was a breath of fresh air. So often you only read all the good times and just a main major issue l that drives the story. I felt immersed into this couples world. You see them really have normal daily hiccups.
I am so excited to continue this series and read more from this author.
This is a fake marriage story. Sabrina needs a husband for a Year so she can get her inheritance. When she proposes to Jonas he is all for it with one condition. The marriage has to be real. What will happen with this couple?

Letting Go is a book that will draw you in and keep you engaged until the end. It has all of the feels. I really enjoyed it.
Sabrina impulsively blurts out a proposal to her co-worker Jonas in the boardroom one day. Jonas accepts just like that. She needs a husband to fulfill the terms of her grandfather’s will and he needs money. Simple transaction except Jonas insists on sex and as much of it as he can get from Sabrina. The longer they go, the more Jonas, a Dom, realizes that even if she doesn’t know it, she is a true submissive. Jonas doesn’t trust or want love, but he is fascinated with Sabrina. He slowly leads her in a submissive relationship that she soaks up like a flower, although he doesn’t think Sabrina knows she is submissive or will ever be ready for a relationship he would want. Staying outside the love and affection line is hard for them both, but Jonas is determined to stay behind the line. A good read.

WOW, talk about an eye opening world for both Sabrina and Jonas. They are the main characters in the book Letting Go. Sabrina needs a husband quick to fulfill the terms of her grandfather’s will. So she offers Jonas, a co-worker an indecent proposal. But that is just the start of this fiery storyline. The author does an amazing job of letting the readers see inside the lives of Sabrina and Jonas and takes us on an erotic trip to the point it’s almost like we are right there experiencing all the new awakenings ourselfs.
The storyline is so much more than just a marriage of convenience. These two have a chemistry that will shorch the sheets as Jonas, a dominate male, brings out the submissive/masochist side of Sabrina, while fighting his own inner struggles. This couple will having you laughing at times, wanting to cry and scream at others. But the developing passion between this two is something that is just extraordinary an very sensual.
I must offer my Kudos to the author for giving us a well written journey that pulled my heart and emotions in every which of direction. I can’t recommend Letting Go enough.

Michele sucked me into the story and I found myself saying one more chapter until I reached the end.
What if you were kinky, but never realized it? Then, what if you finally stumbled onto someone who recognized your needs, and could fulfil them? Awakened all the things inside you that you were unaware existed? What if that deeply personal, highly sexual, and emotionally wrenching journey was laid out in a book from your point of view? How, you learned to let go what you thought you knew, and found the new you, the happy you, the fulfilled you, and the you you never knew existed, yet, yearned for your whole life. This is that book; This is Sabrina’s story, but it is also Jonas’. He thinks he has it all figured out, and it takes him forever to realize he isn’t nearly as put together as he thinks he is. He stumbles, he makes mistakes, he is grumpy, and irritable, and kind, thoughtful, forgiving. He made a decision to turn off his emotions and will accept nothing less. He knows what he knows, until he doesn’t, and still thinks he does. He is vulnerable, and strong, and loving. He is flawed, yet perfect Sabrina
I loved this book when I first read it back in 2012, I loved this new version even more! The story is the same, with some added content that fills in some gaps. Told in first person point-of-view, it had a harder emotional punch. Expanded to have a lot more of Jonas’ thoughts, especially in first person, made more of an impact on the story.
Sabrina and Jonas will steal your heart from the start. They have an immediate bond but aren’t that self-aware about it. They most definitely have off-the charts chemistry, and they manage to demonstrate that on a regular basis. Each encounter, expanding Sabrina’s knowledge, and pushing Jonas closer to the edge. Their emotions grow with each step, each experience, and the consequences, good and bad, further deepen their bond. These two will make you cry, they will make you angry, they will make you squirm. They are hot, passionate, forgiving, and sensual.
This book will touch your feelings, spark your imagination, and keep your motor purring, but most of all, this book will let you come along on the emotional journey of Sabrina and Jonas, and you don’t want to miss it!
Amazing, Intense and a Pure Joy to Read! Michele Zurlo is one of my very favorite authors for a reason. Her books hit you in the heart and make you feel right along with her characters.
The story of Sabrina and Jonas does just that – when Sabrina found herself in a pickle to gain her inheritance she enlisted the help of co-worker Jonas but she had no idea how this mad would change her life.
Jonas was game from the start because he had fantasized many times about the lovely Sabrina, now he had to hide his true self from her and make sure that there was no love involved after his ex-wife he couldn’t do love.
They bring out the best in one another – will this go past the prescribed year?
This is a real gem of a book that slowly draws the reader into a beautifully told, well written story of love and life. The story keeps you interested until the last page. It has humor, suspense, romance, BDSM and a true awakening for Michele Zurlo’s main character, Sabrina. She needs a husband quickly and Jonas agrees. They set the terms and the reader realizes that there is an attraction between them and they try to deny it. Wonder how long they will last with that limit. LOL Michele is an amazing story teller, who throughout the book keeps us on edge while not making it mundane and predictable. She helps us to realize, people have desires they aren’t aware of and we are privileged to watch the self-sufficient, very capable Sabrina blossom, as she learns about herself. Now, can she help, Jonas accept his feelings, as well?
Thank you Michelle Zurlo for writing another awesome book for your readers.
Author’s Cut Version, 2019
WOW. I didn’t read the original Letting Go Awakenings, but was lucky enough to get a preview copy of the Author’s Cut version releasing in February 2019.
May contain spoilers:
Sabrina and Jonas (oh my gracious, Jonas … sigh). As happens in this genre, they’re thrown together in an unnatural way. But these characters are fresh. It’s not a stale premise with these characters. Sabrina’s fascinating in that she’s driven and successful, and not overly lovey. But she’s also has an unacknowledged and unexplored submissive side. She is blind to it, and guess who helps her find it 😉
Jonas is interesting, too. As the book begins, he seems like the gorgeous guy who’s going to go along w/ the premise of the story and eventually open Sabrina’s eyes to her passionate, submissive side. But wait, there’s more! Jonas has his *own* hangups and blind spots, and it takes losing the love of his life for him to see them.
Honestly, the depth of character of these two is lovely. And can I add, the story is so long! In a GOOD way! I felt invested in Sabrina and Jonas, and it was delicious to get to spend so much time with them. Nothing felt rushed – it just got to unfold.
Again – I didn’t read the original story, but I understand that the Author’s Cut has much more of Michele Zurlo’s own touch in it. If you love her stories, you’ll love Letting Go Awakenings!
