Letting Go: A Rainier Family Novel Kindle Edition

by Ashton Cade (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 540 ratings
Grant:

Returning home to sleepy Umberland was supposed to be temporary—just to see my family before securing a job in the city. But when my brother's old best friend and my teen crush Ian Barrett is here too, I find myself making excuses to stick around a little longer. He's still everything I've ever wanted, but this former baseball star is also a big-time player... if you know what I mean. I don't know what Ian would ever see in steady, reliable Grant Rainier.

But I also know I can't stay away.

When we start working away together on his dream, I know I'm in trouble. One glance and my heart melts, along with my resolve. Being with him means staying in Umberland and giving up my big-city ambitions, but being without him means losing the best thing that's ever happened to me. How am I supposed to let go of either one?

Ian:

I've had my share of men, but I've also attracted more than my share of controversy. And since I was a teenager, the Rainier family has always been my rock—I feel like part of the clan. When I see Grant Rainier again, I can't help but remember him as a teenager just off to college... and now the boy is all man.

For the first time in my life, the chemistry is there, and so is the caring.

But should I subject him to the whirlwind of my life? And can I risk the peace and solitude I've given up everything for?

Letting Go is the first book in the Rainier Family series and can be read on its own. 67k words of dreamy, steamy, wishes-come-true love, getting over long-standing fears, Rainiers running interference, and a whole big, bustling, small-town family waiting for its HEA.

What an amazing story very romantic right till the end. This story is about people who have a problem with sexuality and especially people who are in the limelight like Ian a former professional baseball player Ian and how he turns his life around with the help of Grant and how their romance is built. Looking forward to more from this author.

    I bought book one and was so surprised and enjoyed it so much that I jumped in and got the rest of the series and I was not disappointed! Ms. Cade has a well written set of storie's that follow the lives of different men in an extended family of really close people who inner act well together through all of the books. I was completely taken from book one till the the last page of book six and was sad to see the series end! These were my 1st. books by this Author but will not be the last. If you want to spend some enjoyable reading time with a family of zany characters and quircky relatives then these storie's are for you. These book's are full of happy times, sad interludes, idiots and crazies. But in the end, you will have to read these book's to see what happens... I know you will enjoy them, I promise.... I did find a few spelling errors however, it did not take away from the over all enjoyment of these storie's for this reader. After all we all miss spell a word now and then.

    Dreams really do come true! A person can grow up and find love with your childhood crush. Two very different men find their paths crossing at the best possible time. Friendship and attraction leads to a steamy connection that brings out the best of both men.

    i loved the story-line that leads the reader on a satisfying journey. Grant and Ian are so good together that you will be rooting for them.

    I loved Grant's family and i sure hope that we get Grant's brother Trevor's' story soon.

    Update to review 3/20/19 after listening to the Audiobook.

    I totally read these books out of order and got through book two first… That one was great so I went back and picked this one up right afterwards and was not disappointed.

    Grant is home for the summer after college to spend some time with his family before he goes off to find a new job. He is surprised and pleased to see when his older brother’s best friend Ian is back in town too. Grant has always had a crush on Ian. Ian is just now noticing how grown up and Hot Grant has become. Grant’s Brother Trevor is a total Tool and doesn’t want them to get together. Which, when we learn a little more about Ian’s past is a bit understandable, but I think Trevor’s reaction is a bit much and maybe he just needs to get laid himself. Lol. I did feel really bad for Ian and what he went through in his Retirement from playing Baseball that was a horrible thing to experience. And the drama in this book matches the drama in book two, but on a different level of crazy, and different in what happens. I really did like this book as well, but the heat in book two was a lot stronger than this one, I didn’t really feel like Grant and Ian’s connection was as strong. I would like to add in though for this book. I was really thrown off about Ian’ being a little on the callous side when it came to his and Grants first time together. When you read that part you will know exactly what I am talking about. I just wasn’t really impressed by Ian at that point in time and how things went down. Overall though I liked this book and I will definitely check out any other books in this series that come out cause I really did like book two as well, so were two-for-two in this series.

    Audio - Michael Pauley is a pretty steady narrator at this point and I never really have complaints with his work. This one was good like all the others I’ve heard from him so far. But I will say it wasn’t my favorite of his, idk if it was the story or what but the narration for this one just really didn’t grip me like I was hoping for. But i will say that I’ll still be getting book two if that’s produced so, there’s that... I liked the audio I just didn’t love it.

    Well written MM romance. The two lead male characters were well balanced, the writing was top quality and the editing superb. I enjoyed the romance in a small town with the juxtaposition of both acceptance and bigotry along with what it means to be a public sports figure and being out.
