REVIEW: The Moment of Letting Go by J.A. Redmerski

The Moment of Letting Go by J.A. Redmerski: Growing up without much, Sienna has her plan set on a bright, and well-paid, future. Luke went the other direction. After the death of his brother, he turned his focus on building their business to living the free, passionate life his brother so loved.

When Sienna visits Hawaii for her event planning job, she runs into Luke who convinced her to stay just two more weeks. Unable to resist the pull, she does, and finds her world overturned by Luke’s life.

“‘Fifteen minutes,’ he says. ‘At least give me that much time to make up for being late.’
‘No’ I say, shaking my head disappointedly. ‘I really can’t. there’s just not enough time. It’s nearly an hour drive to the airport. If anything, I should leave in fifteen minutes.’
‘Then miss your plane.’ He says simply.”

While a little slow on the romance for me, I really liked The Moment of Letting Go by J.A. Redmerski. She did a great job on development for both Luke and Sienna so I really got to know, and like both characters.

The attraction between them was definitely tangible, and while some of the conflicts were a little iffy, I generally believed in their romance and in each character.
Despite a great community of characters, I’m happy Redmerski kept the focus on Luke and Sienna. They were truly together throughout the novel and I loved seeing them interact, especially since they were both so clueless about what they wanted from each other. They just knew they wanted.

Overall, a very cute story, with some harsh background, but the author kept it real and romantic. I definitely recommend The Moment of Letting Go for any romance reader, especially for those looking for a Hawaii vacation.

THE MOMENT OF LETTING GO

Sienna Murphy never does anything without a plan. And so far her plans have been working. Right after college, she got a prestigious job and gained the stability she’d always craved-until work takes her to the sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.

Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he’s convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can’t deny the deep connection he feels. But there’s a reason Luke doesn’t do long-term. He can’t promise Sienna forever, when the enormity of his past has shown him just how fragile the future can be . . .
