CodyLife has been one crazy, wild ride. I’ve been on top, but I’ve also fallen and hit solid ground: personally, and professionally. The craziest thing—my hardest fall wasn’t from a bull. With a crushed heart, I learned love means nothing. I vowed never to fall, or leave myself open to hurt, again.It was going well…until she walked into the bar.Tatum is stubborn, beautiful, and challenges me … beautiful, and challenges me every chance she gets. I’ve never met anyone like her. She may even be enough to change my mind and break my vow. But life isn’t that easy. The one thing she absolutely doesn’t want is the one thing I never expected, but always hoped for.
Tatum
Life has been one disappointment after another. People walk away, dreams are crushed, life doesn’t go the way you want. Love means nothing.
Except…Cody makes me feel things.
The bull rider chose me. And much to my dismay, he keeps choosing me. He’s hotter than fire, with a heart of gold. He’s someone I could maybe even trust. The only problem: things aren’t that simple. Cody is everything I never knew I needed or wanted. When life drops a bomb in our laps, will he be enough? Or is it disappointment and crushed dreams all over again?
Can one person be enough to change everything you’ve ever known?

Never Let Go by Anjelica Grace
I am voluntarily reviewing this ARC.
All I can say is wow! This book is amazing! I loved book one, Hold on Tight. It was a sweet and emotional read. But this book…sweet? Yes. Emotional? Yes. Steamy? Um, absolutely! Toe curling? That would be a definitely yes! This story checked all the boxes for me. Cody is everything you look for In a hero. He’s kind and funny and sweet and loyal and so incredibly swoon worthy. Tatum is strong and secure and kind. Together, they are a couple that you root for and love reading. The story is as heart warming as it is sexy. This book deserves all the stars and then some.
Anjelica Grace Cody is a world championship bull Rider who doesn’t believe in love anymore. Thanks to a cheating ex girlfriend. He’s sitting a a bar one night when in walks a beautiful blonde who makes him start rethinking the whole love thing.
Tatum is a collage student and a gymnastics coach. She doesn’t want children because of what her father done to her and her mom when she was growing up.
Can they find away to make things work between them.
What an amazing story about Cody a bull riding rodeo cowboy, and his journey through betrayal, lost love, heartache, lust, love and commitment. A highly recommended read.
Cody has always secretly wanted what his best friends Chase and Allie have, complete love and devotion to one in other through the good times and the bad.
After Cody dreams were shattered after having his heart broken he swore off love. That is until Tatum walked into The Lions Den pub. This sexy strong stubborn young woman appeared before him standing under a light like a halo shinning light on this angel. and he was planning for this one night stand and walking away. What he didn’t expect that all these traits he found in Tatum not only intrigued and captivated him. This was a emotional wonderfully written entertaining and engaging book filled with amazing characters and a great storyline. The sexual chemistry was intense.
I was so excited to see that there was a new Anjelica Grace book! She is an amazing writer and I couldn’t wait to see what she was creating next!
Cody & Tatum were both slightly “broken” at the start of the book, and I loved seeing them both find their closure/healing with each other! They were so sweet & their love was so pure. Gahhh! It was just an amazing book! 5 stars!!
Never Let Go
To say I was excited for this book would be an understatement. I was ready for this book some time ago when Anjelica let me read Hold on Tight (which I loved).
But I was ready for this book right after reading that. I didn’t want to wait. I wanted it then.
FINALLY it is here! And let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint in the slightest! I was ready for Cody’s book, and boy oh boy it was amazing!
Crazy, with the twists and turns, but oh man, SOOOOOO AMAZING!!
Cody and Tatum had met previously but they had forgotten all about it cause it was the day of trauma. When Chase got injured from riding.
When Cody sees Tatum again, he can’t help himself. He’s a player, he wanted a 1 night stand, but got so much more than that. Tatum didn’t really want a relationship, and knew Cody would be a player, but pursued it anyway cause come on! Cody’s a cowboy, and rides bulls for a living. So dangerous! So appealing!
Cody is home on a break cause he got injured, and Tatum is studying, and is a dance teacher. Two worlds collide that night at the bar!
They decide they wanna try to make things work, but can they really? With him off to the Rodeos and her back home teaching and studying?
One and done that’s it? Are they over?
This book really pulls at your heartstrings. I was cheering for them from the beginning, and Anjelica has a way to keep you pulled in to the story from the very beginning. I didn’t wanna put it down, and I read it in a couple of hours!!
Talk about a love story for the ages! And who doesn’t love some cowboys and rodeos??
Some of my fave quotes:
1. “Yeah, for the night, she’s mine.” – Oh little do you know Cody, oh little do you know!
2. “You’re worth taking the leap for.” – SWOON MOMENT!
3. “Let go Angel, I’ll catch you.” – STOP IT CODY!!
4. “What if I never let go? What if I hold on, support you, and protect you so you never have to find out what happens, or how rock bottom feels? – UGH I Can’t!!!
5. She’s stolen my heart and I don’t want it back. – YAS!!!
Never Let Go is book two in the Cowboys & Angels series. It can be read as a standalone but after reading this one I do want to go back and read Chase and Allie’s story in the first book.
Cody is a bull rider. He’s been hurt in the past and isn’t looking for love. Tatum hasn’t had the best of life and she isn’t looking for love either. Tatum is younger than Cody but she has a good head on her shoulders. These two meet and have a hook up, that leaves both of them wanting more. Their paths cross again and they become more than a hook up. I though things were going good and was waiting for that one thing to happen to test them and it did. I was a little disappointed at Tatum at first but the story was written well I could totally understand her.
I have been patiently waiting for this one. You first meet Cody when you read the first book. He is there when his best friend Chase has his accident. I fell in love with his character in that book and wanted his story. So glad that I finally got it. I absolutely loved his story. Cody is a character you can easily fall in love with. He goes through something no one should ever go through.
Now he is trying to get his life a little back together and ends up meeting Tatum a bar one night. These two instantly hit it off and you can see the sparks and chemistry between these two easily. I absolutely love how strong and in control Tatum is and how she doesn’t want to give up that control to Cody. But will Cody be able to work his magic and break through her walls? Will Tatum be able to prove to Cody that she is different and worth the risk? This was so well written and just an incredible storyline. I loved the chemistry and the fun moments between these two. So glad I finally for his story so worth the wait. Highly recommend,
Cody and Tate have a fast whirlwind romance. This story had me in tears at times. It is so good!!! So many twists and turns! Defiantly a book to be reread. If you like second chance love stories this is the book for you!
If you aren’t reading this fantastic Cowboys & Angels series, what the heck are you waiting for? Seriously, the stories, the romance, the love, the heartbreak, the hope, the angst, the freaking everything is beautifully told here.
I knew I was hooked after just a couple of pages in book 1, Hold on Tight. Chase and Allie are a tough act to follow, but damn, Cody and Tatum are something special too.
I loved their banter. Their guarded natures. Their toughness. Their vulnerability. And their huge loving hearts that had been hiding behind really high walls for much too long. And once those walls started crumbling, they were right there for each other—to catch each other if they fell.
I loved how Cody and Tatum just got each other. That Cody finally realized that true love was out there for him to grasp—if only he could convince Tatum to take a chance and fall right along with him. Tatum’s deep-seated fears had been ingrained from her childhood. And it takes a “talkin’ to” from her mom to set her straight—Mom’s are always right, right?
Run, don’t walk, to pick up this fantastic story. It’s a standalone, but you’re going to want to start at the beginning here because you’ll want to know everything and everyone. And I cannot wait for more!
Cody –
Cowboy, Sexy Bronc Buster Dedicated Playboy, an all-around good guy (you have a little drool on your chin).
My heart was torn to pieces right from the opening scene – I so so want to strangle his “girlfriend” – But I also have to admit if it wasn’t for her selfish ways he would never have ended up where he was – doing what he does and then he wouldn’t have well …
Let me introduce
Tatum –
Determined, Kind, Athletic, Single (and staying that way) a bit of a rebel at heart and the perfect spark to ignite Cody’s inner caveman
These two are absolutely explosive together the chemistry between them from the moment their eyes met – Yeah, it happened that way but OMG did the two of them make the universe work for it!
Both of them are a bit broken and have let life’s little ‘f…. you’s’ screw their perceptions of love – fine they are both really bitter!
This was my first time with this author but I will definitely be adding her to my list of must-read authors.
The writing -the story line – the cast
All was magnificently done
I was right there – Rooting them on – Drying silent tears –
Yelling when they just weren’t getting it! – Blowing steam out my ears when certain someones were all kinds of messed up –
Yes it was that emotional – that intense – and just that perfect
Wow!! Never Let Go by Anjelica Grace was such a perfect cowboy read with all the feels!! An amazing love story and Cody and Tatum have great chemistry. Loved following along as these two ‘broken hearts overcame their twists and obstacles to heal each other!
Wow.
Cody and Tatum’s chemistry is off the charts! I knew it was going to be a great read but wow. Super sexy fun times await!
There is drama, sweetness, heartbreak and so much more waiting for you in this story. Make sure to read Hold on Tight first, otherwise you will find a few spoilers in this book.
I easily fell in LOVE with Cody and Tatum.
Knowing they had a struggle from the beginning but could not stop falling in love. I did not see the twist that came . Had me in tears. It was equally HOT and Romantic. You did not disappoint. Love my cowboys
Whoa… this book was just whoa. As soon as I opened the book and started reading I could not put it down, I found myself sneaking a chapter or two in between work. I instantly fell for Cody and my heart hurt for him and the things he experienced. Tatum was amazing and so wonderfully written. I loved how all the characters were intertwined with each other and how well Anjelica wrote them and made them come alive. She did such a wonderful job with this story and I highly recommend to anyone who loves hot cowboys, romance, and a steamy story.
Cody and Tatum are not interested in long term. It’s just supposed to be a one and done for them both, but they can’t seem to put each other out of their minds. When they find they have a mutual connection, they decide to take their association a little further, and then further still, just to see where things go. Well, let me tell you, they go for quite a ride! As they struggle to overcome the hurts from the past that have impacted their view of the future, they will be sorely tested, and you will feel it as they almost lose that which they hold most dear.
This tale is a roller coaster of emotions that will often tug at your heartstrings and keep you captivated from start to finish. You will be pulled in from the beginning and experience all the twists and turns, ups and downs of their journey right up until the very end. It’s a wonderful love story that you will find easy to read but hard to put down. Of course, for those who have read the first books of the series, you’ll get to visit with Chase and Allie again, which just makes the enjoyment of this that much sweeter. I strongly recommend this very engaging and entertaining romance!
I love Cody! I’ve long had a fascination with cowboys and by the looks of my TBR that’s not going to change anytime soon. I love cowboys! I met Cody in Anjelica Grace’s first book, Hold on Tight. I was intrigued by the bits of information his friend Allie and Chase dropped about why he wasn’t living in Colorado anymore. However, through that book I learned he is a true and devoted friend and considers his friends his family.
Cody has a wild side and a reputation; not only a top-notch bull rider but also as a ladies’ man. The latter the direct result of the woman he loved betraying him. Vowing never to fall in love again, he sleeps his way through the rodeo circuit until an injury sidelines him at home. Little does he know, a trip to the local bar will change his life forever.
Tatum is a driven student and gymnastic instructor. Her traumatic childhood and the loss of her dream cause her to make life choices that don’t include more than one night with the sexy cowboy she meets at the bar. Always in control, Tatum is just the challenge Cody is looking for. Both assuming their night was a one and done, neither is prepared to be thrust together due to Cody’s best friends, Allie and Chase.
The couple’s banter is witty and sexy, the double entendres flow back and forth freely. Neither of them expect to develop feelings for the other, but when they do all hope of holding on to control is out the window for them. Cody shows he truly is a good man: loving, understanding, protective, loyal, sexy, passionate, and devoted. When life throws the couple the ultimate roadblock, his true colors really shine, but is Tatum up to the challenge? Choices are made, lives forever altered, but friends remain.
Ms. Grace’s characters are like reading about old friends. She pulls the reader into the story and all the reader can do is hang on for the ride. This book hits all the buttons for me: friendship, family, sexy cowboys, a strong women, passion, loyalty, and lots of sexual tension. I highly recommend this read and look forward to many more reads from Anjelica Grace.
This story was so good! Cody and Tate have been through so much before they met each other. They both have trust issues and have been hurt by people they love/loved. I was surprised by how the story progressed and ultimately ended. (I will not tell you, cause don’t want to spoil it for you) It was not what i was expecting to happen, and loved the direction Anjelica took it. If you love second chance romance, this is the book to read. You wont be disappointed!
Cody and Tatum are a reluctant world wind of passion and feelings from the start. Both crushed from past experiences leave them cynical to give in or give up. Life throws hurdles at them and they take it all in stride.
This was a sweet and fantastic read. Plenty of wit, angst, and control (and loss their of). The characters are easy to fall in love with and their personalities really draw you in. Their worlds collide together and intertwine beautifully. HEA
I really liked Tatum and Cody’s story. Neither of them are looking for a relationship when they first hook up. Cody is a bull rider and that is his main focus in life. Lots of chemistry with the characters and the story is well written. You don’t have to read the first book in the series to enjoy this one but I recommend it as well. Sexy and fun. Don’t miss this read.
I fell in love with Cody back in Book one of this series and I could not wait to read his story. I knew from the moment we met him that he was going to be one heck of a “character”! Boy was he ever!! Cody and Tatum’s story hooked me from the very beginning. They had ups and downs and I was certainly smiling when I turned the last page! This is definitely a book that I highly recommend!!
