She has a body that needs guarding. He has the muscle to do it ... but he’s moved on and refuses to look back.

A Woman Fighting to Stay on Top

After a decade as a supermodel, a younger version of me is scooping up my contracts. To regain my status in the industry, my agency devises a strategy—which so happens to require a bodyguard. And I know the perfect guy for the job: Wills Sumner, the man who saw beneath my veneer. Who currently is evading my texts like a Parisian taxi driver in the rain.

A Man Surrendering Hope

I need to start over. Watching my partners die on the job cemented my belief that I'm toxic. So, with the money from that fateful gig, I buy my sister’s gym. At least I can honor her in death—considering I failed to step up when she was alive. Now, if only the French beauty Emilie Dubois would lose my number.

Emilie is fixated on having me at her side. I'm resigned to doing one final turn and escaping with my heart intact.

But neither of us expected to be stripped bare … In the end, she may be the only one who can Take Hold of Me.

***WARNING: Due to strong language and sexual situations, this book is intended for mature audiences. It is the first standalone novel in A Hold Series Spin-off.

Take Hold of Me
Arell Rivers
A Hold Series Spin-off, Book 1

Will’s tried hard to resist the gorgeous French model Emilie who now she has moved to LA has her sights firmly set in his direction.
Wills is a shell of his former self after tragedy struck while guarding Cole Manchester (Hold Series). He struggles with nightmares and the demons of his past that he unfairly blames entirely on himself. He thinks Emilie deserves the absolute best not a man who is toxic.
Will Emilie get her man? Can Wills live without her?
While this novel references events from Cole and Rose’s story it can still be read as a stand-alone.

Just when you think it couldn't get better.

After reading the first trilogy in the to hold series I thought the spin offs couldn't get any better but finishing Emielie and wills story was just as good. There story takes you on a journey of a tortured soul and his fight for the life he thinks he does not deserve. But with the love of a good woman by his side he sees a little light until he looses that sight and things go wrong. Can wills fight his way back?

The tournament in this book will have you wanting to reach in and help wills come to terms with his life and grief that he holds so close.

A great read that can be read as a standalone but to get the full story I recommend you read the whole series from the beginning.

Great spin-off for Wills & Emilie!

4 1/2 STARS!

Quite an emotional read! If you read the Hold Series previously, you will recognize several of the key players in this book. We met them during Cole and Rose's tumultuous story, now they're the main characters themselves! There was something about Cole and Rose that just can't be compared with, so they will always be my favorite couple, but Wills and Em really turned on the heat and turmoil in their story. A really enjoyable read! I'm looking forward to more spin-offs!

Former bodyguard turned gym owner Wills Sumner is convinced he's to blame for everything bad that happens in his life. His sister died and he feels like he should have done more to keep her in a safe place. His partners were killed by Cole's crazy stalker, and he feels like he should have been able to save them in addition to Cole and Rose. He might still be alive, but he's living in a dark place in his mind, just going through the motions.

French supermodel Emilie Dubois isn't sure why Wills suddenly disappeared from her life when she thought they were just getting started. Now she can't get him to answer her calls or texts at all. She's having a mini career crisis and decides she's going to track him down once and for all and see if she can get him to help her out. She's not willing to take no for an answer when she can clearly see he still wants her just as much as she wants him ... but can she get him to commit in the long run when he's so convinced that he's bad news?

Take Hold of Me
By Arell Rivers

This book is a Spin-off from the Hold Series which I have not had the pleasure of reading yet but is not required as it is a stand alone. Yes many of the characters from the Hold Series are included but they are also expained well so you are not lost.

Take Hold of Me is a wonderful story of true love. Emilie and Wills are not a couple you would expect to be together. They come from completely different worlds. Emilie is a french supermodel, Wills is a bodyguard leaving the job to become the owner of a gym in LA. As friends, Wills is able to see after 10 years as a model Emilie is nolonger in love with the job but afraid to admit it. Wills refuses to see he suffering from PTSD after two of his partners are killed by their client's stalker. Emilie and Wills see past the exterior shells they each wear for the public and help each other heal and grow.

The book has its share of angst and a captivating story that keeps your interest and for me created a desire to read the Hold Series to know more about the both these characters as well as their friends. I also look forward to the next book in the series. I am a new Arell Rivers fan but she has captured me attention and my loyalty.

Love Sees You!

Take Hold of Me is a wonderful love story. It touches on so many real life issues, but ultimately focuses on love. Self love, love of family, and romantic love. The characters are vivid and flawed and endearing. Their journey to love makes them question if they are truly happy. If the path they are on is the path they are meant to take.

Wills and Emilie are both dynamic characters that have fought to be where they are today. Wills has suffered great loss and carries guilt associated with those losses. He also suffers from PTSD. He is at a place in life where he questions his ability to protect those he loves. He has built up walls and keeps everyone from penetrating them. However, he still feels a connection with the beautiful and successful Emilie Dubois no matter how hard he tries to ignore it.

Emilie is a supermodel. She has worked hard to maintain her professional reputation. She is dedicated, beautiful, and starting to feel the pressure to stay on top. Her agency and competition from a new star in the modeling world have her working overtime to stay in the spotlight. Emilie isn't sure who she is outside of modeling. She feels like so much more than a pretty face when she's with Wills. Emilie is persistent in her pursuit of Wills and sparks definitely fly.

The connection between Emilie and Wills is palpable from the beginning. The push and pull between them is filled with passion and a bit of angst. When they are together, they see each other's hearts. They can be open and vulnerable without fear of humiliation. They are a great team because they support each other. They must both face their demons and learn to follow their passions in life. Let love guide them and not fear.

The foundation for this love story is the characters. Ms. Rivers builds great characters that evolve and tackle difficult situations. The story flows effortlessly with an authentic and empowering feel. Take Hold of Me will make you think and feel and hope. I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.

A wonderful love story!

If you enjoy contemporary romance stories with believable characters who tug (sometimes yank) at your heartstrings, this is a book for you. Wills and Emilie’s story made me laugh and cry.

Wills Sumner is an oh-so-hot former bodyguard whose struggles with demons from his past can’t stop his attraction to successful supermodel Emilie Dubois.

Emilie has beauty and brains, but that doesn’t prevent her from having her own issues with her career. When she turns to Wills for help, you get a glimpse into the public vs private world of celebrities.

Although this story is an exciting ride of travel, glamour and some darker aspects of celebrity, what makes it a great read is two strong characters who make you believe that love really can conquer all.

I was so looking forward to reading Emilie and WIlls story and i was not disappointed. I liked that Emilie didn't give up on what she wanted. I could relate to Wills' not thinking he could be enough for Emilie. There were a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I loved that I could relate to the Cayman Islands. Even though it starts out as a business relationship, how it transformed into a personal relationship once Wills got a little comfirmation from his dad that is good enough.

The main character is a young, independent woman, which is refreshing. This is definitely a romance, but personal choice and asserting oneself are themes as well. I like the characters and enjoy this author's work and recommend it to others.
