Held Against You Review

Okay everyone sorry for the delay in the blog posting that was finishing up finals and all but awful end of school year stuff. Anyways I'm here writing today because I read another book by Season Vining. What got my attention about this book was the author because I've read one of her books before and I loved it so I figured I would love this book. Season Vining just has this vibe in her books that makes the story so captivating.This book is a stand alone novel and is 276 pages long in paperback. Held Against You is a dual POV tale  in which more than one person has a secret. This book has its main characters Kat is girl on the run from a crime she committed and the sexy bounty hunter that's chasing after her ;). Kat has chosen a path far away from her problems, she flees after making bail. Running away from her life and everything she knew, including herself. But after her encounter with the sexy bounty hunter that has found her and is determined to bring her back to his employer she is skeptical about what her fate will be. Especially when she finds that she is just as attracted to the sexy bounty hunter as he is attracted to her. This story really becomes a cat and mouse game in more ways than one. Held Against You is definitely a book to read. I've got to give Season Vining props for this romantic, suspenseful young adult book. I love her work and she still keeps me guessing right until the end. I love how she is able to write about her and damaged people and how they pull through through some crazy experience that bonds them together. I also enjoy how she is able to incorporate humor action and romance into her books this one had quite a bit of action I can't really give out anymore because I really want people to read her book.


 "I don't know why there's a bounty on her head and I don't care. It's not part of my job to care. My job is to find her and bring her in." - The sexy bounty hunter.

"As for this bounty hunter, I'm not sure what to make of him. He's immune to my weepy crying girl act, so I'd say he probably tortured small animals have a child. With his stunning good looks, he's a far cry from Dog, the Bounty Hunter. I'm thankful for that, because who wants to spend days in a car with all that hair and pleather?"-Kat



"Kat's fingers claw at my back as she pulls in tighter, muffling her sobs against my chest. It's overwhelming, the feeling of her body pressed against mine, along with the smell of her hair and the push and pull of her breath. I'm not sure of what I'm doing."-The sexy bounty hunter.
