Review of Don't Let Go (Hope #6) by Jaci Burton
Don't Let Go is the sixth book in the Hope series.
Brady Conners returns to Hope after tragedy strikes in his family and gets a job in Carter Richards's body shop. He does body work by day and custom motorcycles at night. In his remaining grief, he isolates himself, keeping everyone away. No friends, little contact with family, and no romance.
Megan Lee, a pastry shop owner, has taken a liking to Brady. She works to break through his walls and show him warmth. His adoption of an abandoned dog draws her in further.
As the circle of people around Brady chips away at his walls, he must accept his brother's death and face the reasons he constructed the walls around him.
I enjoyed this book. Brady was a more complex character than some of the others in the series, and I liked Megan's bubbly, geeky, babbling personality. She was a perfect foil to Brady's self-imposed isolation, exuding warmth wherever she went. And she employed the true way to worm into a man's heart: good food. In this case, it was decadent cheesecake.
The revealed reasons for Brady's brother's death were heartbreaking, and his parents' form of grief was also heartbreaking. Watching Brady accept his brother's death and move past it was satisfying, especially because it was the crumbling of his walls that did it.
Brady and Megan's story is one of my favorites in the series. And it made me crave cheesecake—my favorite dessert as well as Brady's.
