There is always a moment in your life when you have to break up with the past in order to move on...
Allyson Monroe has everything she's ever wanted out of life. She has a promising career, a brilliant best friend, and she's engaged to the man of her dreams. In one heart wrenching moment, Ally’s perfect world is turned upside down. As she succumbs to the heartache and tragedy that has left her utterly devastated, Ally relies on her best friend’s support more than ever. Eventually, she begins to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and move forward. However, the one thing she can’t seem to repair, is the huge void left in her heart.
Local hockey star and bar owner, Brody McCabe, has had many titles bestowed upon him in his life — "Nice Guy" was never one of them. After a horrendous childhood, the only kind of love he seems to be capable of, is that of material possessions and his three staples — women, whiskey and wealth. Brody is completely unaware that the universe plans on handing him the hat-trick of a lifetime.
After a chance encounter, Allyson and Brody are baffled by the heated connection they have towards each other. Will they be able to overcome the tragedies of their pasts, or can they hold on to a new love and a future together?

### Review
Holding On To Love is the first in this series of AE Neal's debut. This book had my attention at the prologue. First and foremost, I love her writing. Her words flow with ease and her story is intense. Like I said, reading the prologue, I was in tears. I couldn't believe that just from the first few pages, I was hooked and I knew this was going to be an emotional roller coaster. And connecting with her characters off the bat was another plus for me. - ***Schmexy Girl Book Blog***
"Excellent written story. From the moment I started this story and I couldn't put it down. Allyson has been through so much in her life and losing the love of her life tragically keeps her capacity for being able to move on at bay. I was on a serious roller coaster ride as the story unfolded and it left me wanting more!" -***Alyson Raynes, Author of The Fixer Series***
