About this eBook

Emily Young had two goals in her life:
1. Make it big in country music.
2. Get the hell out of Bell Buckle.

She was doing it. She was on her way, until Cooper Townsend landed backstage at her show in Dallas.

This gorgeous, rugged, man of few words was one cowboy she couldn’t afford to let distract her. But with his slow smile and rough hands, she just couldn’t keep away.

With outside forces conspiring against them, Cooper hires the McKay-Taggart team to protect her. Emily refuses to let Cooper get hurt because of her. All she wants is to hold onto him, but she knows the right thing to do is to let go . . .

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely loved this novella, while it was short it definitely packed a punch. I couldn’t put it down and every chapter got even more intense then the last. Corinne just has a way with her words that suck you in quickly and having you living in her worlds. Emily and Cooper’s chemistry just flies off the pages and while it is a very fast fall it makes sense, they both have had feelings for one another for a long time, and once they let themselves feel it everything that was bottled up came uncorked. I love the protectiveness Cooper has for Emily, and the love they share. This story had me on the edge of my seat for majority of the book, I couldn’t get enough and the plot was everything I was hoping for. As far as the cross over I’m not to sure because I’ve never read the books from the original author, but I’m guessing the amazing Wade Rycroft is where the cross over comes into play and I must learn more about that man so I’ll definitely be checking out her books. The epilogue of this book had my heart full and fluttering, Cooper Townsend is one dreamy man and will definitely steal your heart.

Have you ever read a book or a series and you have that one character that is just a really good person, does everything right, and is still the underdog? And you want nothing more than for that person to get a book of their own? Say You Won't Let Go is that book for me. Although it is a standalone, there are other books in the Return to Me series. This time, Corinne wrote with Lexi Blake's 1001 Dark Nights, and wrote a bit of a romantic suspense, which is different for her and she totally rocked it! And they can totally be read as standalones and you won't miss anything. But I'm a purist, so I waited and waited for Cooper. And it was soooo worth it. Emily Young is also a background character you meet amongst the other characters in Bell Buckle. They sort of dance around each other for a while, until Cooper finally finds her on tour and goes for it. And what a ride it is! Cooper, being the sweet, sexy, and protective man we know and love, he finds a challenge in Emily and her life. While she's finally found her happiness and talent, Cooper knows he can't ask her to give it all up for him. At the same time, he also can't just leave her and move on. The thing I loved most about Cooper was how selfless he was; knowing what Emily went through to get to her dream and keep it. Even when dangerous forces come into play, Cooper still lets her do her thing. He hires Wade, a security guard from McKay-Taggart, to look over Emily when he can be there. Twists, turns, and more suspense lead up to a super intense scene, and then...the epilogue. As a romance reader, I live for epilogues. they give us that extra "happily ever after" on top of the one we just got. But this one? We get to see all the Henningtons. And that is pretty special.

I have been waiting FOREVER (or so it seems like) for this book, the very last in the Return to Me series by Corinne Michaels and a part of Lexi Blake's Masters & Mercenaries Crossover Collection! It was EVERYTHING I expected it to be....and sooooooo much MORE! I have to say that I LOVE the Hennington boys (especially Wyatt 💖 ) but Cooper Townsend stole my heart and I don't know that I'll EVER get it back! He wants to settle down and have a family but he's been burned before, come in second place and really doesn't want to risk his heart again....until things change one fateful day! And Emily Young is the PERFECT foil for him...she's strong yet vulnerable, sweet yet feisty, and will stop at NOTHING to protect those she loves! Even if it means she has to rip her OWN heart to shreds to do it! This is a novella that FEELS like a novel! It was so well written, filled with ANGST and suspense, sacrifice and LOVE, making me feel ALL the emotions that makes THIS the 5 STAR MUST READ book that it is! Corinne Michaels is the TOTAL package when it comes to delivering the kind of SOUL-SEARING, HEART-SHATTERING stories that make HER one of my top go-to 🦄 authors!
