A straight up sexy romance novel. Despite there not being much in the storyline besides Athena’s reluctant personal growth and the push and pull romance between Athena and Tru this novel kept me engaged, reading more, wanting to know what would happen next.
Can’t say I’ve read a romance novel before where one of the main characters was a professional pool player, and I’m so here for it.
I enjoyed the added backstory of Tru’s mixed heritage and the stressors reared with that. Also, Tru’s mom was a hoot and such a strong supportive side character. I loved the impact she, as well as Imogen and Gwyn has on Athena and Tru’s budding relationship.
I admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of the teasing of Athena’s backstory. I feel like it would have had more of an impact if we knew the complete backstory story of what had occurred closer to the beginning rather than hints dropped here and there.
As this is advertised as one of the Green Street Girls romance novels I can’t wait to read more about Imogen and Gwyn, and to see where Tru and Athena are down the road.

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Alexandria Richard
Athena is the character that I didn’t know I needed. She is strong and fierce and knows how to run her own businesses and make a hell of a profit. She has her sisters (in name, not blood) and they are proof that a woman can do everything a man can do – even in a predominantly man’s world – and even do it better. I was instantly hooked on this story from the first page and could not put it down until it was finished. The storyline at the beginning tugs on your heartstrings in such a way that makes you root for Athena, Indigo, and Gwyn. This was Athena’s story and it was told incredibly well. I felt her pain, her inner turmoil, and her happiness with every line written. She had an extremely rough time from 17 on and she turned it into one of the best things that could have happened to her. Tru is the epitome of what happens when a good-at-heart man works extremely hard to get where he is in life. There was nothing that came easy for him growing up and he proved that his determination could win out and he could do exactly what he set his heart and mind to. He is a professional billiards player and travels around the world doing tournaments and taking care of his mother. It isn’t until he meets Athena that his past heartbreak becomes something he is ready to move on from. The two of them together made this book something incredible. The chemistry between them was evident from their first meeting and my eyes stayed glued to this book until I soaked up every word. I cannot wait to see more from ND Jackson and the Green St. Girls! If you haven’t read it yet, don’t hesitate. HIGHLY recommend!

While this is the third book in the Heron Harbor series by Lea Nolan, Hold Me Forever is the first book I’ve read by this author in general. I am usually the kind of reader that NEEDS to start from the beginning if I know a book is part of a series, even if it is a standalone. When I stumbled across the synopsis though, I was really interested in the storyline and less concerned with not knowing any potential background on any of the characters. Fortunately, the book did not disappoint. With characters that you can’t help but love and a home feel, this book is the perfect summer read. I like the chemistry between Lark and Hunter but also LOVED that this book involved family, especially sisters as I have two of my own. I love a fun, lighthearted story that makes you feel like you’re at home, Hold Me Forever did that for me early on. I will really be going back to read the first two installments of this series. Lea Nolan is definitely an author I want to read more of. I would give this book 4/5 stars.

This is the story of Athena, one of the Green Street girls. She lives her life on her own terms and in her own way with the support of her girls. That is until she meets Tru, a pro pool player with a past of his own. Can Tru break through her walls? I enjoyed the characters so much. Athena has so many layers to be revealed. She is so much more than meets the eye.

I stayed up – until 3am to finish this book and there are ZERO regrets. We follow Tru and Athena who just so happen meet in a pub that Athena owned. Of course, with a name like Athena she was totally a goddess – and she looked like one as well. The book goes through the hardships of Tru and Athenas lives pre and post meeting. And let me tell you. It is AMAZING. This is the perfect romance book. Their chemistry is amazing – and let me not forget to mention that Athena and I are way to similar for comfort. I would actually bake the author a whole cake for a “sister” story on Gwyn & Indigo because I KNOW those stories would be amazing too. If you want an all around feel good romance, this is for you!

I loved this story so much. It was so beautifully written and just an absolute pleasure to read. The emotion just poured off the pages and I was so invested in Lark and Hunter’s story. I loved Lark’s character she was really intriguing and I just felt this connection with her, she was really genuine. I loved Hunter too and as soon as they reconnected, I could feel that what they had shared in the past was not over with and I was rooting for the whole way through. Although this book is part of a series it can be read as a standalone but characters from the previous books do appear so I would definitely recommend reading them in order – they are also fantastic books and would highly recommend them!

Coming in on book 3 of the series I was nervous. But I was told it was a stand-alone romance book. I’m a hopeless romantic and a sucker for cute love stories. The book went as I expected with a ton of use twists and turns with a hint of mystery. Lark and Hunter are adorable together and I love the “old love finds its way to reignite”. The characters were so well described and no detail was spared, even the simple side characters you fell in love with. I loved the sister’s interactions, I myself have 5 sisters and could easily see their comments between each other being a real conversation with my sisters. This book was a light read, it’ll give you butterflies and make your soul warm.

I really enjoyed this book and start to what looks to be a promising new series from ND Jackson. Bared. is a wonderful little romance with a sweet group of friends that will make you want to call your besties right now and book a spa day or a sleepover. I know I did! I found myself crying and laughing several times and I love when a book can really pull the emotions from you as you read which is something that ND Jackson is wonderful at in all of her novels. This book is definitely one that will keep you up late or away from the house chores so plan to block out some time as you get sucked into the world of Tru and the Green St Girls. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!

This is the third book in this series, and I could not wait to read it. I fell in love with this author from the very first book and that hasn’t changed. This book picks up from the second one and I couldn’t have been more impressed. I love how the author can tell their stories with such warm and inviting characters yet provide the perfect amount of angst and chemistry that I love to read. Her books are quick page turners for me and this one was no different. I laughed and cried but really loved and appreciated this book more than the previous ones. Please do yourself a favor and pick this book up to read.

Book 3 in Heron Harbor series. Author Lea Nolan, in each of these books has taken a set of characters from the back seat of the story line to the front. I like the way we get the repeating characters and yet we get new information and story lines with each book. The author does a good job at tying it all in together and holds our interest with each book. Every reader I think will enjoy these books.

5 Stars Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson
Bared. (A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson is a wonderfully written story that pulled me in from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down.

This is a story about four women who were left alone at a young age. Athena has shut her heart off and doesn’t think she’s capable of love again. That’s untill Tru walks in. Can she give love another shot? Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Athena Montgomery is one of the Green Street girls. She and her friends have stood by each other through thick and thin since they all met at an apartment complex on Green Street in Chicago. They are family. Athena is a successful club manager and is worth millions. The only thing she has a problem doing is letting someone into her small circle.
Tru Blake is one of the players in the WPBA tournament that is being held at Shamrock. He is returning to Chicago after a long stint of being away from the city that created him. He’s learned a lot of tricks for playing pool since his younger days, but here he is back home and all he wants is to prove that he is the best.
Athena meets Tru at the Shamrock, the pool hall/bar that she purchased and pieced together in memory of her friend Charlie. Tru is a great male specimen, but Athena is only looking for something temporary. That is until the large wall around her heart begins to crumble.
ND Jackson has written a remarkable story involving two people who are running away from their pasts. Can Athena and Tru find something real in a future together?

Having enjoyed the previous two books in the ‘Heron Harbor’ series I was looking forward to reading this next instalment and was not disappointed. It was lovely being back on Heron Harbor Island and the author really made the setting come alive once again. It can be read as a standalone story, however the characters do crossover and I’ve enjoyed the books as a series. This storyline follows artist and traveller Lark Donovan and Heron Harbor local Police Chief Hunter McMullen, and has a second chance at love theme. Lark is happy being independent and free spirited, travelling the country selling her paintings at festivals and teaching workshops whilst Hunter loves his life on Heron Harbor. Although Lark had a rule never to return to her childhood home she has to break this for her sister’s wedding, only to discover that someone she once had feelings for is also part of the wedding party, Hunter. For Hunter, Lark was the one that got away and having been reunited after years apart he’s not going to waste this opportunity. The couple discover that the chemistry between them is still there and it definitely sizzles off the page. Hunter decides to do all he can to convince Lark to stay which results in some sexy scenes. But despite this Lark still starts to pull away resulting in a story which kept me hooked from start to finish. I loved the main characters and found them both very easy to relate to and so felt engaged in their story. This is a lovely, heartwarming contemporary romance and I look forward to future books by this author.

This is another new author for me but looking at the book cover reminded me of a soap opera, so I had to pick it up. I found this to be a very will written book with a wonderful cast of characters. I especially fell in love with the main character as she seemed to be acting irrationally trying to find herself. Something that I have also experienced in my younger twenties. I feel like this made the story more relatable to me and therefore I couldn’t put it down. Watching the main character overcome her emotional and inner turmoil made me laugh and cry as I could feel not only her pain and angst, but her need to find trusting anyone to be a problem. I can truly say I have been in her shoes. This is a good read and I do recommend you pick it up and give it a read.

Hold Me Forever (Heron Harbor Book 3) by Lea Nolan
4-stars
Hold Me Forever is the first book I have read in this series so I can honestly say that it can be read as a standalone, as I was able to jump right in and follow along without any problem. However, I loved this book so much that I will absolutely be diving back into the series and reading the first two books of the Heron Harbor series.
I loved both Lark and Hunter, they were two characters with so much history and chemistry that you could practically feel through the pages. I found them super easy to connect with, the author managed to make them feel so real and I quickly found myself feeling invested in how their story was going to play out. And let me tell you I was not disappointed!
I look forward to starting this series over from the beginning and I look forward to hopefully reading more of some of my favorite secondary characters.

This was a beautifully well written story that truly captured my own heart and I had trouble letting go as I read through it. It showed me in truth, sometimes we lose the most precious thing we love the most and even if we truly treasure it and squeeze it as tight as we can in our hands…it still can slip through, but if its meant to be it will always find its way back to you. True love is never really gone, it just gets put on the back burner for a while sometimes. Sometimes trusting your heart is the best decision you could ever truly make.
This was a story of love that was, love that was lost, and of love that maybe was truly meant to be all along, but sometimes the irony of a second chance requires a little bit more convincing. The story followed through on Lark, whom was a great artist. I admired her she followed her passion and her dreams and got to live the live she wanted so much and be perfectly happy! Or was she? The art she paints perhaps it hides more pain and loss than she cares to let on? She was living the dream and she felt so happy, but was something inside her heart missing? She was strong willed and had her walls up, but in all honesty she knew very well one person had her heart and always would…and his name was Hunter.
Hunter was a old flame of Lark. He and Lark had a time together, and they I feel both knew it was the rea thing, Sadly, life gives you choices and you have to make decisions on what is thrown at you, and sometimes you have to gain something and lose something. That’s what had happened here. Hunter is now a police chief of the town that gave him the true love you can only hope to read about in books.
Perhaps fate had another chance though, Hunter and Lark are brought back together for the town that lit their flame, for a wedding they both had reasons to attend. Perhaps the town would re light what once was but this time keep it burning forever. Sometimes the best things in life are never easy. They take work, love, and trust, and sometimes it means trusting someone to love you and to have the power to hurt you, but in truth you are trusting them not to. True love is never really gone from the world you reside or your heart, you just have to help it as well as yourself, find a way back to one another.
Beautiful love story and well written. It truly got to my emotions and I loved it. I love small town romance novels and I love a love story that shows you even if you lose one another you can still find your way back to one another, even when it seems literally impossible. Lark and Hunter were two characters I truly felt for. They had a strong ambition in both their hearts, and yet cared for one so deeply, that they would always be there no matter what they faced, because their love was that strong. I loved seeing them re kindle what once was plus growing as a couple and as well as a person in themselves. I t was like a watching a beautiful ballet where you can hope for the best and get more than you ever expected when you get to the end. The story and the bond of the characters, were heart felt and engaging.
I truly enjoyed this book. I truly can say I will be picking up more by this wonderful author. The story was sweet, sensitive, and realistic to me. We all can face better options in life, and take a loss with it, but sometimes you go back to where you first started. Highly recommend you pick up and read this book.

This is the 3rd book in the Heron Harbour series. This book can be read as a standalone but our main characters have appeared in previous books as supporting characters now they get a book of their own to tell us about their story. I really enjoyed the characters personalities and how the author brings them to life. The author does an amazing job of grabbing a reader and not letting go. This book is full of romance but also takes the reader down a path of pain and hurt and you understand why our leading lady Lark guards her heart. Lark returns home to Heron Harbour for her sister’s wedding and she is not looking forward to it. Since she left she had a good life concentrating on her work and keeping her heart guarded. Her main worry about returning always bumping into someone from her past Hunter.
Hunter loves his life as police chief on Heron Harbour and he thought he had it all but when Lark rejected him and left the rejection left its mark.
Now they are thrown together at this wedding as Hunter is best man. Will the spark that was once between them return? Will they both let their guards down enough to actually give their love a chance? Or will Lark try and run again. The question is how hard with Hunter fight for her this time.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Fabulous book by Author N.D. Jackson. I am so happy I picked this book up. Athena is strong willed, independent, wealthy multi business owner. She was kicked out of her home by her parents when she was 17 years old by a tragic event and never looked back. Tru, a sweet but yet cocky pool player, happens to have a tournament at Athena’s pub and meets her for the first time. Major sparks happen. As Tru falls in love with Athena the more they spend time together, can she get over her past and let all the walls that barricade her heart crumble to love Tru back? This story, for me, is a slow burn, but I loved it.

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
The Universe has spoken. Lark thinks it has spoken in a positive way. Hunter, ever the pessimist, thinks it is sending a “no way” message. Lark and Hunter dated in college and things didn’t end well for them thanks to deception from her father. Six years later, they are thrown together again in Heron Harbor when her sister, Wren is getting married. Lark drives this old RV and lives the Boho lifestyle of an artist. Hunter is the Police Chief. I can just picture them when Lark’s RV breaks down on her way into town. Hunter, of course, is the one to stop and rescue her. From there, it’s a series of misadventures that seriously make you think the universe is saying no. But through a medical emergency, planning a wedding, learning about family deception and secrets, figuring out how they really feel about each other; Hunter and Lark are able to come back together and figure out there future. I found this book fun and entertaining. I could picture this over in a town in Maine. The description sounded like the perfect place. The characters were quite entertaining. I definitely recommend this one.

Hold Me Forever by Lea Nolan is the third book in the Heron Harbor series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although you are briefly introduced to these characters in the previous books. I thought this book was a fantastic addition to this series. It had a little bit of everything to keep you fully immersed in the story. I thought the characters in this book were what made it though. They had such a strong connection between them that I could feel it in every interaction. I wanted them to find a way to work past their issues as it felt like they deserved to be together. The story was well paced from start to finish – just right for being drawn into and engaged until the end. This is a great book and I am looking forward to what is next.

Hold Me Forever is book three in the Heron Harbour series by Lea Nolan. This story is a great addition to the second chance genre, and the author adds her own clever spin to it. Lark is an artsy free spirit that goes back home after years of being away, hoping she doesn’t run into her past. Hunter is one mistake she is wanting to forget, but as we all know, all is fair in love and war. Hunter wants her back and will use any means necessary to win back her heart.
Hold Me Forever was an easy to read romance, with many colourful characters to keep things flowing and entertaining. Emotions aplenty, this story was passionate, endearing and addictive. A captivating addition to the Heron series and a wonderful cast of energetic and eclectic characters. A real entertainer. 4 stars.

Lark Donovan has lived her life in seclusion from her family since her father attended her college graduation. She lives in the Belcher Art Colony in Vermont for six months where she teaches art. Then she travels the country for the rest of the year attending festivals where she sells her art and teaching art workshops at various locations. She’s stayed away from her family’s beach house on Heron Harbor. Now she has to return for her sister, Wren’s wedding.
Hunter McMullen is Heron Harbor’s Chief of Police. Growing up in Heron Harbor was hard for Hunter. But when he worked his way through college at the University of Delaware, his life seemed to be on the right track. He fell in love with Lark Donovan. Their plan was to elope and live happily ever after. Then Lark told him she couldn’t go, and he hasn’t seen her since. That is until he turns his car around after seeing a stranded motorist on the main avenue of Heron Harbor.
Lark and Hunter are both tongue-tied with their first meeting in years. Neither lets the other know their feelings. Suddenly, Wren thrusts the rest of her wedding planning in their lap. She’s got a trial starting, and the last-minute preparations have to be completed. Can Hunter and Lark work together to finish planning the wedding? Will this have an impact on their future?

I really enjoyed reading this story. The storyline flowed so seamlessly and I forgot that I was reading a book for a while. I simply couldn’t put it down. The personalities and conflicts meshed together naturally, it was very enjoyable to read! When it was finished, I immediately started searching around for the second book!

Hold me Forever by Lea Nolan a five-star read that I set alight by the chemistry in the pages. This is number three in the Heron Harbour books and I have loved them all, the characters do pop up in each other’s stories, and you do enjoy them as a series, but at a push they could be read as stand-alone, but they are a great series so you would be missing out. Lark is someone you will simply adore, she has her passion and you cant miss strong it makes her.

Bared by N.D. Jackson a five-star read that will leave your soul bare. This is the first story in the Green St. Girls series, and I can’t wait to hear more from the girls as they have such a great story to tell. Athena feels like she is doing it right, but don’t we all, and maybe she needs a little help from an unexpected source. A little distraction and help can be a good thing. Sometimes winning is everything, sometimes its so much more.

A truly saddening opening which is very heartfelt. Tur and Athena are really unexpected at fist but I really enjoyed there development in this story. Athena had a hard time of it been blamed for a deaths that not her fault by family and a loss of a friend. This story revolve around the girls of green street. Turly a great romance and book about friendship

Hold Me Forever is the 3rd book in the Heron Harbor series by Lea Nolan. I did not read the prior two books so I wasn’t sure if I would be lost in the characters. I’m happy to report that Ms. Nolan does an excellent job of describing the scene and characters for those of us who read this as a standalone novel. Hold Me Forever centers on Lark, an artist who ran from her past to avoid hurting those she loves, and Hunter, the sheriff of Heron Harbor. Lark returns to Heron Harbor for her older sisters wedding and finds herself being saddled with her former, secret flame, Hunter, to finish the planning of her sisters wedding. We follow the pair as they handle the uncertainty of their love for one another and if we can see a happily ever after for them. This book has wonderful characters, great location, and gives you actual family drama that seems relatable. I greatly enjoyed this story of love, family and friendship.

I truly loved this book, I really loved all the characters and just how real they all are! I know, I know being a millionaire at 21 is not realistic but hear me out. The struggles Athena and Tru each have either individually or together was so very REAL! I loved how much complexity there was within these two characters. They both have been burned in their pasts, and it has had lasting effects like Athena’s hyper-independence. I won’t spoil anything but this led to very realistic issues and conversations and I just loved that. Sure it’s still a work of fiction but let me tell you this book was so refreshing because I could totally see these types of issues and conversations being had in real life. The spice was also amazing and the chemistry fantastic! Athena’s friends are amazing and again personalities were so distinct and you guessed it realistic! I absolutely loved getting to read about Athena and Tru, and honestly can’t wait to read more about the Green St. Girls!

(A Green St. Girls Romance) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Christine Taysom
Bared by N.D. Jackson was a page turner. About a girl named Athena who has a past that haunts her, making her fear commitment. After the death of one of best friends she promises her she will live life. Which she does to the best of her ability, at the disapproval of her other two best friends. Enter Tru, a pro-circuit pool player, who is taking part in a tournament at a bar Athena owns. With chemistry being there between the two of them, Athena & Tru, it threatens Athena’s very way of existing since she was 17. A romance that you will have you wanting more. I felt for Athena, because I was an Athena myself. Burying the hurt and pain of my past. Does she let that go or does that hurt what she’s feeling for Tru? Please dig in you won’t be disappointed.
