Release + Review - Hold Me Forever - Layla Hagen

As the hockey league’s star goalie, I live by three simple principles:

1. Keep a pristine image.

2. Work hard on the ice.

3. Don’t piss off the bosses…too much.

I was killing it until a mishap tarnished my image. Now, management has me cleaning up my reputation and coaching a bunch of kids. And damn, those little punks are growing on me, and so is the program coordinator, Kendra.

I’m hellbent on proving myself, but my attraction to Kendra takes me by complete surprise.

Her defenses are up, but I like a good challenge.

Management’s directives are clear: "Kendra is off-limits."

But like I said, I'm the goalie. I do the blocking. I won’t let anyone stand in my way.

Louise's Review

Hold Me Forever has all the feels, a 2nd chance story that brings 2 people that destine for each other together.

Tyler is fixing his image and Kendra is there to help, but when the lines get blurred and their chemistry overtakes everything there is no denying them even when they were told off limits. The Maxwell family is fantastic with their banter making me giggle throughout.

I personally enjoyed this story, i look forward to what comes next from Layla.

Johnaka's Review

“Unexpected love, 4 stars”

Tyler didn’t expect to meet Kendra when he showed up to volunteer to teach kids how to play hockey. He’s suspended from his team and keep his head down until they let him back on the ice. Only Kendra throws a wrench into his plans. He can’t help but want her.

I enjoyed these two. They both knew how it could end terribly for each of them, but they were willing to try for the other. I loved the Maxwell family pieces as well. Hagen has pulled me into this series and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for this family next.
