On the blog today I have a review for Why I Held Your Hand by Augusta Reilly for Suzy Approved Book Tours.

Release Date: October 23, 2020

About The Book: 

Laura Delaney loves her small mountain hometown of North Powell with its quaint charm, stately Victorian homes and surrounding hiking trails. Unfortunately, when it comes to attracting travel dollars, it can no longer compete with the flashy hot springs and ski slopes of nearby competitors. 

That’s why she hires a hotshot marketing team to figure out how to inject the old magic back into North Powell’s sagging tourist trade. What she doesn’t expect is for the team to include David Harper. Smart, funny, handsome, and amazing in bed, he’s the perfect man. All she needs to do now is keep their relationship under wraps until the project is over. 

But that’s easier said than done when she’s assigned to work with Spence Markham, the company’s offbeat “idea man” and David’s professional nemesis. When Spence suggests hosting a Dickens Festival to revitalize the town’s once-booming holiday season, Laura is thrilled. She’s even more thrilled when Spence falls in love with Powell House, the dilapidated Victorian that Laura hopes to renovate and turn into a town museum. But is Spence falling in love with her as well?

As the Festival nears, Laura’s feelings for both men intensify. Her relationship with David has only gotten better—and hotter—and yet she finds herself counting down the days until she can see Spence again. 

Soon, what started as a simple assignment becomes a tale of two possible futures. But which one will Laura choose?

Miss W’s Review:

Why I Held Your Hand is a steamy romance that I enjoyed. The love triangle trope isn’t one I read often, but this author did a really great job with it.

A good description would be sexy Hallmark LOL. The setting is a small town called North Powell and out protagonist Laura is trying to save the town as it is struggling financially. She hires David and Spence and that is when things heat up.

They are planning a festival to help the town. This is a fun , steamy romance that was enjoyable.

If you like Christmas romance with some heat you will enjoy this book!
