It's been twenty-six years and Julianna Doucette White is about to have the biggest heartache walk back into her life at Copper Falls, Texas. It's been that long since at seventeen she had a son torn from her arms at birth and his father deserting her. With a domineering mother controlling everything, Jules had the choice taken from her life. Her parents deceased, she now has inherited not only the family home but the bookshop as well, which has never been her interest and she is still following the dictates of others. As a divorcee she is dealing with her rebellious teenage daughter Becca.

The positively edible Noah Ryan arrives with a beautiful young pregnant woman on his arm, introducing her as his fiancée. Trying to avoid Noah is consistently difficult, and it isn't long to see that neither has lost that deeply seeded love for each other that they try to ignore. Sharing the devastating loss of their child haunts them each January 29th; the day of his birth. Noah's father, Johnny Mack Ryan, runs a café next door to the bookstore and has held a vendetta against Jules since his son took off. The more entangled their lives become the more secrets come to light of the deception by Jules's mother, lies even unknown by her Nana Mae. Neither Jules nor Noah could possibly fathom these are secrets that will permanently change everyone's lives forever.

This poignant tale of a young couple obsessively in love with each other since childhood that should last a lifetime can have their futures split in two in one disbelieving moment. Once I began DON'T LET GO, I absolutely could not put it down until I had the whole thing read.

DON'T LET GO captured my heart with the sincere emotional upheaval these young lovers were forced to endure. This was nothing short of captivating, emotional and heartbreaking with a fantastic finish. DON'T LET GO is not the first I have read from Sharla Lovelace and will absolutely not be the last. She truly writes from the heart!
