Secretly dating Coach Parker's daughter was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming her dealer.

ADAM

Returning to my drug-dealing past wasn't on the agenda when I accepted the full ride to play ball at Cypress U. But Mom lost her job. And my sister's medical bills are mounting. So, I've no choice but to change the playbook.

When Emily walks into my life, like a fallen goddess with the ultimate power to destroy me, I know I'm screwed. I should steer clear, but I'm the one supplying her poison of choice. Falling for her is a complication I don't need, but the more she's around, the harder it gets to walk away. She needs me, and I crave her more than the sport I love.

Now, it's all on the line. Including the NFL career that's tantalizingly close.

The stakes are high, but family means everything, so I'll take my chances.

EMILY

It's only a problem if it's out of control. And I have it in hand.

Except a certain a-hole discovers I'm using again, and he threatens to rat me out to my folks. Mom's president of Cypress U, and Dad's the illustrious football coach. Appearances mean everything to them, and I'm a continuous disappointment. They told me I'd be out on my ass if I fell off the wagon, so keeping it a secret is my number one priority.

Until the super-hot all-star QB takes more than a passing interest in me. Adam gets me, in a way no guy ever has, filling my head with ideas of forever--and now, I want more.

Dating my dealer is a recipe for disaster, especially when it's forbidden, but I can't help myself.

Because I've fallen too deep.

And the hole is too large to crawl out of.

Review

"Prepare to cry, swoon, and fall in love with Adam and Emily. This is such a heartfelt and romantic story, as well as an honest, raw depiction of addiction, that you're not going to want to miss." BookDragonGirl

"There is such tragedy in these characters lives. They have both been through so much. The way they meet is not your typical boy meets girl story. But, I'm so glad they find each other ... and I really loved the ending." Danielle. Goodreads reviewer

"Adam and Emily's journey is emotional, difficult, and ugly but their destination is beautiful. You will feel all the emotions during this read and come out complete and happy at the end." Jennifer. Goodreads reviewer

"I love this book, and I know it will suck everyone else in as well. Even with the touchy subjects, it will hold your grasp until the very end..." Paradise of Pages

"Adam is not your typical cocky alpha QB that I have seen so often in sports romances. I found his wholesomeness to be refreshing, and I developed a major crush on him." Dana. Goodreads reviewer

"This book had me on the edge of my seat. The gut-wrenching storyline of past abuse and addiction was so honestly portrayed the reader feels like they are walking in the character's footsteps. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars - this is a must read!!" Nikki. The Overflowing Bookcase

"Together, these two fabulous ladies have created something moving and magical." Shonna. Goodreads reviewer

Five emotional stars for Emily and Adam 💞!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I love Siobhan's and Susan's writing style and this is the first book I've read that it was written by both authors. I love their co-writing and can't wait for their next book.I have to admit that this book shocked but in a good way because I didn't expect that this book will be so emotional.I thought it will be typical college romance but it wasn't and because of that, I love it more.It was more than romance...It was a story about a broken person who finds her soul mate and then everything had changed."Holding on to Forever" is the book which will break your heart a thousand times but it will show you that with a right person who believes in you everything can change and that person can love you, no matter of your past.I would love to read more books like this one because it's not a book filled with flowers and rainbows but after all, it still has HEA.If you're looking for a not typical romance book with emotional parts in it, you should read this book!Highly recommended!!!

Adam Miller isn’t your typical college athlete. Sure he’s the starting quarterback and he is darn good at what he does, but he’s also a family guy. He would go to the ends of the earth for his mom and sister. When he finds out that his mom lost her job and the health insurance that went along with it, he revisits a part of his past he would have liked to have left behind to help make cash to help his family out. He starts dealing drugs. It’s a quick way to make the cash he needs to help out, nothing more. Until the day he meets Emily Parker.

Emily has been using drugs as a way to escape her reality. Her family has to keep up appearances, so her drug use has to be on the down low. When she meets her new drug dealer, Adam, she never expected him to be more. Keeping both of their secrets safe is the end game, but when lines become blurred it’s hard to deny that they are attracted to each other. Will their secrets be safe? Or will everything come to a boiling point that could change their lives forever?

‘Holding On To Forever’ is an absolutely phenomenal book. From start to finish the entire story is heart wrenching and amazing. This book touches on some very difficult topics and the author’s handle these topics with delicacy but also without sugar coating either. I was not expecting this book, to say that this book is a journey is an understatement. Just when I thought I had something figured out, I was thrown for another loop! You will be drawn in from the start, and I promise if you think you have it all figured out, you are wrong, but in the best way possible! I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.

If you're a lover of angsty new adult reads then you will love Holding On To Forever by Siobhan Davis and S.B. Alexander! Emily on the outside seems like she has everything going for her, but she's really broken and has an addiction to drugs. Adam is a star football player and also has his own problems that lead him to having to sell drugs which has their paths crossing. From the moment Adam lays eyes on Emily he is enamored with her, but can anything really happen with these two? I really enjoyed how this story between Emily and Adam played out. Adam knew what he was doing was wrong, but his reasons for doing it were understandable. But once Emily got involved, he did everything in his power to keep her clean as well as help his family, and I admired this about him. He only wanted what was best for her and to help her stay away from the drugs, which is quite contradictory to what he was doing, but you can see how much he truly does love her. Emily on the other hand, is fighting so many demons in this book it's not funny, and it's definitely not shocking that she relapses so many times. My heart broke over and over again for her and everything that she had gone through and continues to go through throughout this book. This book was a hard read at times since it does deal with some very hard subjects, but the way they were dealt with was done in such a great way that I really enjoyed it. This book was raw, and powerful, and the characters were ones you could really connect with. Emily and Adam both have flaws, way too many to count at times, but their story is beautiful and full of angst and I truly did enjoy this bumpy ride that the authors took us on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written story
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

This is a beautifully written story that deals with some tough subjects. Holding on to Forever centers around Adam and Emily. Emily and Adam attend Cypress University and Adam is very attracted to her from the first time he sees her. Emily is off-limits, since she is Coach Parker’s daughter. Adam is the quarterback. Emily has an addiction to “Molly” and when Adam’s family has some financial troubles, Adam starts dealing. I won’t leave any spoilers as to what lead Emily to using, but no one should have to endure what she did, especially not with Carole for a mother. This book has some wonderful characters and some horrible characters, but I’m so glad I read this amazing story.

What a beautiful and emotional book. This book shows true love really can overcome anything. It also shows not all are ment to be parents. Drugs can also be very dangerous and people turn to them for different reasons to either take or sell them. My heart goes out to Emily in this book. She went through so much. She is such a strong and resilient woman to overcome all she did. I'm so glad she got the support she finally needed.

With that said, this book really does have a lot of triggers. It's not for everyone. It's very emotional. It is better for a more mature person to read. But it is such an incredible book. I highly recommend it!

Davis writes well but she tends to lose track of some of her characters and thinks the audience has too. The author had 2 characters, Zach and Scarlett, who were important to the heroine and when she changes her life they disappear and never spoken oh again like Emily didn’t give a crap what happened to them “ her” best friends. The relationship was unfinished so I gave the story 3 stars

Emily has had a very tough time of it in her life. Not the picture perfect people assume. Surface and all that. Girl has some demons that she's still struggling with. Not in the best way either.

Adam, the football QB, hasn't had the best out of life either. Peas in a pod these two. Adam having a sister with a terminal illness isn't easy for him to deal with at times. Trying to continue with college and football isn't easy to manage sometimes, and when things fall hard for his mom, he feels it falls on him to take up the slack whether she wants him to or not.

A football star, and the coaches daughter. The drug dealer, and the drug addict. It can be either a daydream or a nightmare depending.

This is a heavy one. Not fluffy at all. Hit on some not so easy to talk but topics. Drugs, addiction everything that comes with it (true me it's a lot) child abuse, because not all child abuse is physical. Mental and emotional is the same. And even rape, and sexual abuse. So, not an easy book to read. But worth it. Very worth it.

Emotional new book from two great authors. As ever, deals with hard hitting issues but doesn't lose that touch of romance which makes you feel good. Love Adam as he's not the jock we usually find in sport romances. Yes,he makes mistakes but is ,on the whole,a good guy. Very family orientated. Emily has had a lot to deal with too and gets sucked into a vicious circle., making very bad choices.Their two worlds collide after a chance meeting and ...
Be prepared to be blown away and for some major plot twists that I didn't see coming!

I read all I can find written by Siobhan Davis. This is an excellent read as are all her books and I had to keep reading til I finished it. The turmoil and struggles both of them face are extreme and they needed to be strong to get through it. Addiction is a terrible disease and rape is a crime words can't adequately describe. Blackmail too. Adam made wrong choices for the right reasons. It was good to see them get through it all and get their lives on track.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy intense content with a damn adorable story!❤
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2020

Emily and Adam's story is just immense and I am absolutely in love with it!

From the beginning your heart just goes out for Emily. There is clearly something that she doesn't want to deal with amongst all the other things that she actually has to. Her mother clearly doesn't care for her which is so obviously even before it is 'officially revealed' and her dad is obviously going through a lot on his own. Which leave Emily to resort back to drugs even after rehab. Even though it seems like her friends are supportive and have her back, the further into the book we get the realisation is that they are actually a bit more toxic than initially thought.

But Adam enters her life and neither of them are ever the same again.

When we are first introduced to Adam he is just such a sweet, adorable guy who loves his family more than anything and will do anything to help and protect them. And we see just how much when his little sister needs more medical help and Adam resorts to dealing drugs like he did once before to help his family. Adam constantly has an internal struggle about dealing drugs, especially when Emily enter his life, but the one thing that always keeps him doing it is his family.

Emily and Adam clearly fall in love with each other at first sight. It is an unstoppable thing. When once all that mattered was his family, Adam quickly cares for Emily in a way he only does for his family. He steps up for Emily on several occasions that have you clutching at your heart and nearly crying at the way he cares for her. Their journey isn't easy between the battle with drugs they both have (from different sides but still all the same), blackmail they both go through and all the family drama.

What I do love about this book though (besides everything I have mentioned already) is the viewpoint of both side of drugs. Many people realise and can understand why people turn to taking drugs but the reasons people have for selling drugs isn't always thought of. This book gave a very interesting and poignant viewpoint of both sides which I thoroughly adored.

Definitely a book that grips you enough in more ways than one, there are several aspects that are happening around the main characters and it helps keep the suspense going, as opposed to the cliche of a lot of stories where there's one hurdle you spot from a mile off. This had a few twists that was intriguing but through it all you never doubted Adam or his love for em. It was clear and not in a cheesy roll your eyes kind of way either which isn't easy to pull off.

Phenomenal 5 🌟 read.

This crushed my heart and was such an emotional read.

Emily is so broken, on a downward spiral and Adam shows her how love can help her turn her life around.

This is no ordinary college romance story - this is beyond that!

Emily is so strong to go through what she has and still come out fighting. She has strong supportive family and friends around her.

Adam, oh he’s just amazing. To come from where he has, to unconditionally love his family and do everything for them ❤️ just floors me.

They are instantly attracted to each other, but don’t act on it straight away. It builds and becomes something so strong that nothing will break them.

I got so invested in their story that I could put the book down.

Amazing ladies, just AMAZING
