For the Abbott siblings, the Green Mountain state has always been an idyllic place to call home. But it isn’t until they open themselves up to love that they’ll truly discover how fulfilling life can be…



Almost seven years after losing her husband in Iraq, Hannah Abbott Guthrie isn’t sure she’s ready—or able—to move on, but the attentions of a lifelong friend are making her think about it for the first time. The memory of the sweet kiss she shared with Nolan Roberts hasn’t strayed far from her thoughts, but she also fears that pursuing something with him would mean betraying her husband’s memory.



Nolan has loved Hannah for years, but he’d been giving her the space she needed to heal from her devastating loss. Now, when an opportunity arises to show her how he feels, Nolan can’t resist, but he knows earning her love will take more than a kiss. Somehow he has to prove to Hannah that finding love twice in a lifetime is possible—and well worth risking her heart.

I loved the book and my selfish side hates waiting for the next book (sorry!). Of course, I'm not surprised by this, I've so enjoyed all the previous books written by Marie Force - whether "stand-alone" or series books, they are all the kind that keeps you reading so fast and then get sorry because it has ended and you have nothing left. That's just the way it goes when you get involved with any of her books --- that's good isn't it? Thanks for your vivid imagination Marie - much appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hannah's courage to move on....Heartfelt, warm and sensitive.
Reviewed in the United States on 13 June 2014

Loved it...4.5 stars. Marie Force did a superb job of writing about the death of a spouse 7 years prior and the emotional rollercoaster involved with moving forward after that loss. The lonely years of grief, the guilt, daring to take a chance with the future, the dreaded conversation with the in-laws about dating again, the memories but also the letting go. It wasn’t maudlin, dwelling or a lengthy morose tale. It was thoughtful, heartfelt, sensitive and uplifting with chapters of Hannah’s diary dialogue at the beginning of each chapter to give the reader a flavor for her life growing up with Caleb (deceased spouse). I dislike when authors feel the need to diminish what was in order to build up the new love in their stories. MF did an outstanding job of portraying the honor and respect for Caleb/Hannah’s relationship while giving the new couple a wonderful beginning. This might not be everyone’s favorite bk, but since this topic is very personal for me I could really relate. Can’t say enough about how great this part of the bk was for me. I did adore Nolan and could that Hannah be any more fortunate to have someone so kind, sweet, patient and giving her 2nd time around? And don’t get me started on the furry characters here. If the loss of a spouse wasn't enough emotion to wallop with, the loss of a long time pet packed an emotional punch. Again this was sad but MF did this in same way she wrote about Caleb/Hannah…with the courage to move on. Loved the funeral for a friend and long time companion which ended up more like a wake, leaving the reader with a tear but also a smile or two.

The only thing I was slightly disappointed with was Nolan deciding to give up his hobby of driving the race cars that he loved because Hannah just couldn’t deal with what could happen to Nolan due to such a dangerous sport. I understood her fears but wanted Hannah to work through that. Nolan made the ultimate decision to give up the driving and just be the teams mechanic because he loved Hannah more, but it was still disappointing.

Nothing Marie Force does better than the small town “family” romance theme. The Abbott family is big, they’re close-knit, nosey, meddling and fun, with some occasional drama but they’re all loyal and loving. I especially enjoyed all the potential we’re left with here for future bks and love interests for the rest of the brothers/sisters. MF left just enough teasers here to intrigue and keep me anxious for the next bk in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars best love story ever....
Reviewed in the United States on 1 June 2023

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND is a standalone read with a happy, delightful ending. There are sexy scenes if that is an issue for you. This story is about the story of a young war widow. I don't think I have cried so much in one book in a long time. Mostly the tears are from the moving way the story is told. I have always loved Ms. Force's books and this is just another to add to the list. It is a great love story. The hero of this story is just what every woman wants in her life but seldom does anyone really get. But it is great to read a story where the heroine gets the perfect guy and this hero is perfect.

Since I am one of over 2,000 reviews I won't get into the story because no one will get this far reading reviews. Just let me say this....I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down. It has a lot of humor and fun as well as a few tears. But life is life and it does go on despite anything we do. I loved the scene with Caleb and Homer together. It is so what I believe and will one day experience. I have to believe the author believes the same way to write about it so beautifully. HIGHLY recommend this book.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am not a bot. I am a reader and this is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 6/1/2023

I have read everything written by Marie Force. I love all her books and really enjoy this new series located in Vermont. She knows how to hook you right from the start with excellent character development and interesting plot. So glad Hannah and Nolan find their happily ever after. This is a beautiful story about losing the love of your life and best friend and discovering new love when the timing is right.

Sex: explicit and frequent

This was such a beautiful book. After Hannah loses her husband to a landline in Iraq, it takes her 7 years to open her heart to love again. Nolan, best friend of Hannah’s late husband Caleb, fell in love with Hannah’s strength and courage two years after they lost Caleb. He patiently waited for her to be ready for him. It was such a sad and uplifting book. I cried multiple times.

After a series of heartbreaking loses and navigating the way through her loved ones feelings about Hannah dating again, will their love be able to survive? Yes. And it’s a beautiful journey.
