Synopsis "Holding Out (in English)"
She wants him to be her first. He's willing to help her out. Only now he can't stop wanting more. The answer has to be no, of course. No way Griff Ambrose is going to help Becca Drake lose her virginity. Sure, she's beautiful and hot as hell, but she's his friend's little sister. And Griff won't ever risk being hurt again the way he was the day he came home from war to find his house empty and his wife gone. But he can't get Becca's request-or pretty much anything else about her-out of his head.Becca has turned her life around, and she's proud of how much butt she's kicking. There's just one more demon she has to exorcise: her virginity. Griff is the perfect candidate to do the deed: He's her friend, he knows how to get her going with a glance, and neither of them wants anything serious. Until Becca takes a job at the veterans' retreat where Griff works. Now she and Griff can't stay out of each other's way. Worst of all, it's getting harder and harder for Becca and Griff to lie to themselves about what they really want..."I loved this book.

This was such a great book! I loved that both Griff & Becca had to work on themselves before they could find their HEA.
