Publisher's summary

Shame holds onto a past that haunts him. He was damaged by the parents that should have taught him unconditional love; they imprisoned him with violence and disregard. Even now, Shame struggles to find both the independence and love he deserves.

Knowing the blood that runs through him is stained merely by reputation, Hem seeks acceptance while he searches for ways to redeem himself in the eyes of those that have judged him his entire life.

Together the two have committed themselves to one purpose: protecting those they love the most.

Mace Cash is Hem's younger sister. Although they share the same mother, Mace's father despises Hem and his position within the family.

Sadey Lyons has loved Hem all of her life. Swearing to save herself for him, she's determined to wait for him for as long as it takes; wanting only for him to see her as the woman she has become and not the little girl he's always cherished.

When Hem and Shame meet Doc, the president of the Lights of Peril Motorcycle Club, their lives take a dramatic turn. Finally escaping from a past that has controlled them, they find themselves living free. But neither of them has known peace for long....

*********W O W************WHAT A THRILL RIDE******

This one did not miss one single feeling!!! (including the tissues).
There is a lot going on in this story, strong characters,heart wrenching love, and plenty of twists and turns!!
Kind of cliffy, not piss you off kind, just hurry up and bring on book 2 kind!!!
Flawlessly written and expertly narrated.

I AM LOVING THIS WRITER!!!! BRING ON THE OREO'S AND WINE!!!!!

It was ok

I'm conflicted on Holding On. MC romances are my literal weakness, but I have to say I didn't love this one as much as I was hoping. I was entertained and Lidia Dornet can keep me going through any audiobook. I seriously love her on any and all audiobooks, you can never go wrong with her. Aiden Snow is also great. I just felt that all the characters were just ok and made dumb decisions when it came to their relationships. Mase, Sadey, Hem, and Shame are all hot messes. I liked them when things were good, but five minutes later something was always happening to make them mad at each other and breaking up again. I would have liked to see more club business going down and we only got a little bit of that throughout the story. Now I'm not sure I even want to finish the series.

Sad and loved

Although Linda did a wonderful job at narration her male alpha voice make the bad ass bikers sound like woosies. Story would have been much better to listen to with Aiden's voice for ALL the male characters. Lots of drama and sex and moving on to book 2 now.

This amazing story needs to be heard time and time again

I don't even know where to start. I have read this series so many times. I can honestly say that this book has had my heart from day one. This was the first series to make me ugly cry every single time I read it so of course listening to I sobbed even more.

Yes there are some sad parts but there are so many parts that touch my heart I have to cry.

The characters are so real to me I feel like I know Shame and Hem. They are everyday people living life and protecting those they love.

OREOS AND WINE PLEASE!!!

OMG, I was not expecting that, I should have had a box of tissues ready! I have not cried like a baby over a read in a LONG TIME!!!

There was some violence, some unexpected turns, but I did not expect to cry like I did.

Great Author, Great Narrators -on to the next book in the series!

REALLY REALLY ENJOYABLE AND ACTION PACKED

This story is full of content and details which annoys me sometimes however with this story I understand why it is written this way. This story is great. It's my kind of hot sex and alpha male characters that I love. Now there is a cliffhanger which is why I waited to review until book two was out. I know you will love it. I had to adapt to the female narration but by the third or fourth chapter I was loving it. Worth the credit.

Excellent

I enjoyed this book tremendously. The characters were strong and raw in their emotions. It had a good balance of the hard biker life and the deep love for their family. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
