I enjoyed reading this story! I was drawn in to find out what happens with Cole and Rose and look forward to reading more about them in the next book! I recommend this book!!!!!
I love rockstar romance and this book didn’t disappoint!! Cole and Rose’s story is amazing. I always enjoy it when the rockstar falls for a regular girl and it was awesome to see this story unfold. I don’t want to give a lot of info and spoil it for you because you’re definitely going to want to read this book!!
The author was very detailed and the story was written well and with some steamy scenes. It has a cliffhanger so you will absolutely want to read the rest of the series. I’m so happy I found Arell Rivers and look forward to reading more from her. I definitely recommend this book!!

F***! I didn’t see that cliffhanger coming! I fell in love with Cole from the start of the book. I loved the relationship he had with his family – one scene with his brother brought tears to my eyes. I liked Rose too. But she was a bit more reserved and I feel like there’s still more to discover about her that we didn’t get in this book. I look forward to finishing their story.
This series is a fun romantic story, the main characters are really believable.I really enjoyed all of the books.
Cole Manchester is charming, sexy, and an enormously famous rock star who has it all, except he’s never been in love. But when his mother passes away from cancer, Cole begins to reevaluate his life, wanting to keep the promise he made to his mother to settle down one day. He ends up setting his sights on the quiet, unassuming young woman in the background, his beautiful publicist Rose, in spite of the fact that it’s not allowed for publicists to get involved with their clients.
I loved this book, the writing awesome, the characters are awesome! The chemistry between Cole and Rose is absolutely white hot! The only aspect that kind of irritated me was that I wish Rose had had more of a backbone and stood up for Cole and their relationship when he meets her ice queen of a mother, but other than that a terrific story! Can’t wait to read the next installment of Cole and Rose!
No One to Hold (The Hold series #1), Arell Rivers’s debut novel, is the first book of a rock star romance trilogy. It’s told entirely from the first person perspective of the male main character, rock star Cole Manchester, and it ends with a cliffhanger.
After losing his mother, Cole’s playboy lifestyle feels shallow and empty. He’s finally ready to meet somebody, fall in love, and settle down – something his mother always wanted for him. Cole goes on a series of blind dates, but keeps finding himself drawn to his publicist, Rose, and he sees her with fresh eyes. Cole knows her firm has a strict no fraternization policy, but he pursues her anyway. Dating Cole might cost Rose her job, but when a crazed fan sends threatening messages, is her life in danger too?
I enjoyed part one of Cole and Rose’s story. It was sweet and smutty with a bit of mystery and suspense. I’m pretty sure (like 99.9%) that I’ve already figured out some of the twists coming up in books two and three. I guess I should start reading to see if I’m right.
Yes, this book ends with a cliffhanger, but all the books were released at the same time so that’s not an issue. Now if they hadn’t been that would be another story. Cole and Rose burn up the pages in this book. He’s a rockstar and she’s his publicist. Will she be able to stand him fake dating for PR. I can’t wait to get to the next one. If you like rockstar romance then you’ll love this. I hadn’t considered myself a rockstar reader before discovering this author. I’ve read many of her books, and loved them all.
