A SEXY SECOND CHANCE, ENEMIES TO LOVERS, AND REVENGE ROMANCE

A hard body. A dangerous past.
Revenge never looked so hot.

A former reality-TV star, remodeling expert Spencer Dean doesn’t trust women. Not after his fiancée, Brooke, left him at the altar five years ago, breaking his heart and hardening his soul.

Now, Brooke is close to a deal for her own show that will launch with the remodel of a popular Austin bar. The problem? The network insists that Spencer step in as her partner.

He’s tried to forget her—but he can’t deny that he still wants her. More than that, he wants to punish her. And so he agrees, but only on terms that are provocative, demanding, and wildly sensual.

It’s the perfect set-up for extracting revenge. But he doesn’t expect to fall for Brooke all over again…

Each book is a STANDALONE romance with an HEA and an overarching story about a group of friends and the local bar they love. Totally hot and utterly binge-worthy!

"I'm going to kiss you now. Not because I want to punish you. But because I want you. And if that's a problem, you better stop me now."

Holy Hotness!! I am loving this series and this latest installment is just amazing! The humor, the heartbreak, the angry ultimatums, the secrets and betrayal, the under-current of what could have been - it's all there.

Brooke Hamlin knows Spencer Dean hates her. How could he not? The problem is that she never stopped loving him. She had no choice but to hurt him. Now they're working together and he's angry - at her, at the job, and he wants revenge for his broken heart. She can't blame him after what she did to him. She desperately wants to tell him why she did what she did, but will he hate her even more when she does? Should she try to convince him to give her a second chance, or will yet another ultimatum from her father tear them, and her heart, to pieces yet again?

Spencer Dean had it all going for him. The right girl, a hit TV DIY show, and a bright future, despite his troubled past. He's overcome it all - all except losing that right girl. Brooke was the love of his life and she ripped his world apart on their wedding day. Now he's back in Austin and working with her on a new renovation show - pure torture. He wants to hate her - sure, he wants vengeance for what she did - but his heart won't let him. Could they try again? Would she even want him after making it clear she didn't want him back then? Can they rebuild the Fix and their hearts?

I love a story with a emotionally tortured man, second chance romances, and wrong choices for right reasons. This book has all of this and more! Can't wait for the next Man of the Month!!

Wow, J Kenner does it again with book 2 in the Man of the Month series. The story is fun, sexy and witty with great characters amongst a fun backdrop.

Spencer Dean is from the wrong side of the tracks - so when he meets Brooke Hamlin all those years ago he knew that she was to good for him. After 3 years together and with Spencer on the verge of getting his big break as a reality star with his own renovation show Brooke leaves him at the altar. Now back in Austin trying to clean up his life he is forced to work with Brooke on a new show renovating The Fix a local Austin bar. While Brooke is still beautiful - Spencer know now is the time to finally pay Brook back for breaking his heart all those years ago.

Brooke Hamlin is trying to make it on her own and renovating The Fix is just the way to do it. Being forced to work with Spencer though is not what she had in mind. Still, in love with him she knows he is hurt and angry about what happened 5 yrs ago, while her reasons are noble it doesn't take away the pain they both feel. Now she needs to work with Spencer in order to take her career to the next level, that is, of course, they can get past their hurt and their past.

I loved Spencer and Brooke both together and separate. J Kenner takes the classic second chance romance and gives it a whole new dimension. The story is filled with angst, misunderstanding and some dark subject matter that will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions that makes up end up rooting for them. We also get to see some of the characters from book 1 (I love Brent) along with meeting some new characters whom I think are up next.

Hold on Tight is a great winter read that continues the Man of the Month series in a great way. I can not wait for book 3.

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2018

Hold on Tight by J. Kenner is the second book in her new 12 book Man of the Month series. Told in dual POV this is the second chance love story of Spencer Dean and Brooke Hamlin and the series story arc of this larger group of friends efforts to save their favorite bar, The Fix on Sixth.

Spencer and Brooke have a past together. It's complicated if you know all the details as we readers do early on, and heartbreaking when you only know some of the details as poor Spencer has only known for the past few years. He is set for revenge on Brooke, she is, after all, the one who broke his heart and has ruined all relationships for him after their split.

Brooke has been carrying the secret reason for leaving Spencer on her shoulders alone for a long time. She is still head over heels in love with him and had the best of reasons for what she did. Unfortunately, she never told him why and now, having to work together on their home improvement show filming renovations at The Fix, things get complicated and heated FAST.

Well-written and well-paced, this was another great read and I'm excited with how each of the upcoming characters are gently weaved into the plots in earlier stories without being obtrusive to the current story. Enjoy!

Love this series, just goes from strength to strength. Loved Reece and Jenna’s tale, and good to catch up with them. Spencer is a great man from shaky background trying to make good. Family circumstances haunt and make him. Brooke is one pampered princess, who’s Daddy constantly wants to mould her. Worked once when she jilted Spencer at the alter, does it work now?. The storyline unfolds with speed passion, trust romance and friendships, there are however some despicable characters or one also. A good uncomplicated read

Dramatically, Spencer Dean, a reality star and a reformed character, was jilted at the alter five year previously. And as a real consequences of having his heart broken he no longer trust women.

Now, he is faced with working with Brooke his ex fiancee again and he will only give his agreement if she accepts his terms. But his terms are punishing and vengeful and to advance her own business she is reluctantly force to agree to be 'fully his'.

However, Brooke still has not explained to Spencer why she walked away from marrying him and when she does, he discovers the devastating involvement of her attorney father and how her action fortuitously saved his brother's life.

Does her declaration alter his attitude. Will he fall in love will Brooke again? Read and find out.

I have enjoyed this romance series based around a bars calendar competition, the people that work at The Fix on Sixth bar and those associated with the broadcast competition. Each book focuses on a different character and can be read as a standalone but I would start at the beginning as if you pick up the series later then it references other couples. This book focuses on Spencer and Brooke. Brooke broke Spencer's heart years ago- now they have to work together and sparks fly!
