LOSING HOPE by Colleen Hoover

Holder’s life ( LOSING HOPE by Colleen Hoover ) has been plagued with regret and guilt because of the young girl he failed to save from impending peril. He has never given up looking for her because he thinks that doing so will give him the tranquility he needs to go on. But Holder could not have predicted that the instant they reconnected, he would be confronted with much more suffering.

Holder describes in Losing Hope how Sky’s early life experiences impacted him and his family, which is why he felt compelled to save her in order to atone for his own sins. However, he can only start to cure himself by loving Sky.

My heart rate is signaling for me to just walk away. Les has reminded me more than once that it’s not my business. She’s never been a brother before, though. She has no idea how hard it is to sit back and not let it be my business. That’s why, right now, this son-of-a-bitch is my number-one priority.

I slide my hands into the back pockets of my jeans and hope to hell I can keep them there. I’m standing behind the couch, looking down at him. I don’t know how long it’ll take him to notice I’m here.

Considering the grip he has on the chick straddling his lap, I doubt he’ll notice for a while. I remain behind them for several minutes while the party continues around us, everyone completely unaware that I’m a fraction away from losing my mind.
