Noah Ryan and Jules Doucette had spent every moment of their lives together, first as childhood best friends and later as young lovers. The two had their future all planned out—until one unspeakable decision tore them apart.
Twenty-six years later, Jules is living her life by someone else’s plan. She’s running her mother’s store, living in her mother’s house, following her mother’s rules, and keeping the secrets her mother made her bury.
Then Noah comes home, and any sense of order and structure flies out the window. Noah’s return does more than just stir up old memories—it also forces Jules to see her life in a whole new way and uncover secrets even she didn’t know were hidden. But can the power of first love triumph over years of pain and lies?

My favorite book this year I think... wow... :) By Chattykat I need to give this more than 5 stars... :))I've read some really good books this year but this one will definitely be one of my TOP favorites without a doubt.I'll start with some words of wisdom from the grannies!My wise old Cajun Maw Maw used to say, "Hide your crazy, girl. Ain't nobody wanna see that s***."Maw Maw died of a heart attack at the age of sixty-two. My other grandmother, Nana Mae, who is neither Cajun nor known for being exceptionally wise, is still kicking at eighty-five and says it's because she lets all her crazy out.Hahaha... I love grannies... they always have such creative wisdom don't they??But, I happen to agree with Nana Mae... keeping secrets and keeping everything to yourself can be toxic and can definitely lead to crazy reactions and outcomes. This defines Noah's dad and Jules mother perfectly... these two made me want to scream... I can't believe the secrets they kept from their own children. Betrayal hurts so much more when it comes from those who are supposed to protect and guard you.As a mother of teenage daughters and being around the same age as Jules, I found it incredibly easy to fully immerse myself into her story. I was brought to tears so many times throughout the book because the emotions were so real. The most touching being the memories of those tender moments with her first love Noah at age 17. Powerful stuff people... especially for those of us who know exactly how it feels when you have your heart broken for the first time and experience that first true loss. Do we ever really get over our first loves??Jules and Noah were torn apart by unexpected circumstances and when they finally meet again two decades later, they both find themselves thrust abruptly into facing the mistakes of their youth. Jules and Noah were both simply existing and had remained stagnant in their personal lives. Coming together and breaking down their protective barriers was exactly what they both needed to finally forgive, move forward and take steps to re-building themselves.I was completely in tune with the relationship between Jules and her 18 yr old daughter... man, was that familiar territory. That point where we finally have to allow them to make their own choices... even if they aren't what we want for them. Yep... been there... done that! :)I don't want to say much more because this book is so much better if you don't know too much going into it... but, I will say that I went through a variety of emotions reading this book. I felt anger, shock, disappointment, sadness, frustration... but also hope. By the end of the book the author brings us full circle and gives us one of the most wonderful HEA's... and, left me wondering that maybe all things do happen for a reason. And, in all honesty, it's forced me to reflect a little on how I parent my daughters.If you are like me and you love romances that center around mature characters and you like the occasional trip on the emotional roller coaster... and, you don't mind a good cry... this is an excellent choice! This one is going to stick with me for a while... it's a keeper... :)

Books like this are the reason I love to read.If you love books with intensely strong emotions, that make you feel every word of the story with all your heart, make you go through every range of emotion from laughing out loud to full-on crying, and that have a gorgeous love at the heart of it all that never lets go, then this is the book for you!!I honestly could not put it down. I literally just sat there glued to my Kindle all day soaking up every single world of this story. I even cancelled my dinner plans so that I could just sit and read without stopping.This is a second chance romance about a love that remained even after a twenty-six year (!!!!) separation. The hero, Noah, and heroine, Jules, were best friends in childhood, and later on, they became young lovers. He was her first everything and they began to plan a future together. But at seventeen years old, they were torn apart by a event that shattered their world and Noah left town to join the military. For twenty-six years, Jules didn't hear anything from him. But even with her heart broken, life went on and she married someone else and had a daughter but that marriage didn't last because her heart still belonged to Noah even though he was no longer there. Then one day, Noah came home... and the secrets that once tore them apart came out into the light as their feelings for each other once again became undeniable.Ohhhh my gosh, you guys.... that moment when she saw him for the first time when he came home gave me tingles all over from head to toe. My heart stopped. I was completely wrapped up in every word.Noah and Jules had the kind of connection where you just KNEW that no matter what, these two belonged together. They were soul mates. They had the kind of love that nothing could shatter -- no words, no actions, no measure of time. They belonged to each other and nothing could ever change that.This story is also a lot more than just a romance. There are several things I haven't told you here because I don't want to spoil the story but there are three twists in particular that added this extra measure of hyper-intensity to the story. I wish I could tell you but I promise it's best to just discover it for yourselves.I do want to address one thing because I know that some of you are going to skim other reviews, see this, and freak out a little like I initially did. Ok, so when Noah returns, he's not alone... he's brought back a woman that he's engaged to. I want to stress that this is not a love triangle but I also don't want to give anything away so just.... please trust me? Please? I promise everything works out. Ok?? -- Oh, and the thing I loved most is that it managed to worked out without anyone being the villain. I loved the manner in which the author pulled all the pieces together. It was honestly just perfect to me!Noah. Let me take a quick moment to gush about him. This guy. Holy hell!!! Such a total Alpha male. It's not really highlighted in the book a lot but he actually became a Navy SEAL in those twenty-six years so he's all kinds of bada$$. But emotionally, he was just the kind of guy that totally gave his heart over to his girl and wanted to do the right thing by her. And when life took away that control, he lost it... and consequently carried around a lot of baggage and a host of painful memories and unresolved hurt. But what I loved most about him was that despite the pain, he never stopped loving Jules. Gah. *MELT*Jules was a really wonderful heroine. What I loved about her was that she was very flawed. She'd made a lot of mistakes in life and throughout the course of this book we saw her go through a really beautiful transformation as she learned from those mistakes and made conscious choices to change. (PS. She didn't cheat on him, don't worry.) It was also really cool to see her relationship with her 17-year-old daughter and those consequent struggles. It was such an interesting parallel seeing her on the parental side of a girl who was now the age she had been when she and Noah fell in love so many years ago.There was this intense push-pull between Noah and Jules as they were faced with all their feelings for each other rushing back so strongly. There were so many unresolved issues to work through so. So many secrets and unspoken feelings that they couldn't hold back ... and mostly, a powerful, forever love.Some scenes were literally so intense and they would hit me so strongly that just suddenly I'd be crying. Tears would be pouring down my face even when it wasn't a sad scene. Often, they were even happy tears. I'd just be feeling so much that I felt like I was on constant emotional overload of the best kind.But seriously, the complexity of the situation that's built is pretttttyyy crazy. It all makes total sense but let me tell you that it is one huge emotional tangle with so many connections and so many different sides. There's a lot I haven't told you but this was such a rich, multi-layered story.It had ALL . THE . FEELS!!!!There's actually a quote in the books that says, "sometimes the harder, complicated relationships that you have to fight for are the ones worth something," and I really feel like that completely represents the story.It's quite a fast read despite it being a full length book. I read it in one sitting and there are no slow spots. I pretty much just sat there madly flipping pages til I got to the end. The story just flows.I want to stress that this isn't what I'd call a sad book, it's just very emotional. Honestly, many of my tears (and there were a lot of them) were happy ones! And this book had one of the best endings EVER. The story came full circle in the most literal way you can imagine. Happy tears were pouring down my face!!You know how Kristen Ashley books have that way of connecting you with the families of the main couple?? Well, this book really did that too (even though the writing style/story is nothing like KA) but the thing I'm comparing is the way the connections between mother/child, father/child, best friends, in-laws, grandparents, best friends, teens, children, etc, were conveyed. Just such gorgeous emotions and such an integral, beautiful part of the story. The deep-rooted bonds of love and family can be extraordinarily powerful and when you have an author convey them so strongly and with this much sensitivity and depth, its really one of the most incredible reading experiences ever.I highly recommend this for fans of The Sweet Gum Tree. If you're a fan of that, then you will love this. The story is different, but it had the exact same intensity and "feeling" to it. Absolutely gorgeous emotions!!!!! And it's crazy because I read The Sweet Gum Tree ages and ages ago and yet it's still one of my top favorites so it was such a huge treat to find another book that brought back a similar set of feelings while still being a different story. I have a feeling that this book will also end up being a long-time favorite.I just want to go up to each one of you and beg you to please give this book a shot. You know that feeling? When you just love a book so much that you want the whole world to read it?? Well, this is me shouting from the proverbial rooftops here.... READ THIS BOOK, guys!!!!!! *ahem* Please? :DRATING: 5 STARS. STANDALONE ROMANCE.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not my typical, but well liked By Holland Crosby Ill be honest, I dont normally go for books where the heroine is in her 40s. I guess I just unfairly assume that I wont be able to relate or get into the book as well. Such was not the case with Dont Let Go. I was emotional reading this book from start to finish. Thankfully there is a happy ending.Jules is a somewhat confused and unsettled yet settled down 40-something year old single mother of a delinquent teenager, living in the same town she grew up in and even in the same house she grew up in. Muddling through as usual when one day the boy from her past walks back into her life, no longer a boy, and not alone. Noah ran away from their small town and all his troubles he related to it and to Jules, but came back when he wanted to finally settle. As a teenager, and still now into adulthood, Jules seemed to be controlled by her mother's wishes. This did not go over well with Noah and their future together, so he fled. I dont want to give anything away, but just know its a good read that sucks you into all the emotions and drama, but is emotional and can you make you so if you are anything like me. I will look out for other books by this author in the future now that I know about her.
