Purchase options and add-ons
Nash Hardwin has been on the road full time since leaving his rough childhood behind when he was sixteen. Beloved by millions of fans around the world, he’s never had a real home and never trusted anyone enough to fall in love. Not until he meets Ashley Sullivan. After she unexpectedly steps in to help him out of a very tricky situation, he ends up having the best day of his life with her in Vienna. Ashley is sweet, beautiful and intelligent...with the biggest heart of anyone he’s ever met.
When their perfect day together inevitably turns into an even more perfect night, there’s no denying that they make incredibly beautiful music together. But is there even the slightest chance that the small-town single mom and the road warrior rock star can make things work? Or will the realities of lives that are polar opposites make it impossible to hold on to each other’s hearts?
HOLD ON TO MY HEART is part of Bella Andre's USA Today and New York Times #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans. While it can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books too.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2021Hold on to My Heart, is Bella Andre’s latest story in the Sullivan Family, and is a wonderful addition! Nash, a country/rock singing sensation, who has no sense of home meets small-town single mom, Ashley, with a huge family and a son who means the world to her. Their meeting in enchanting Vienna, and subsequent day spent together is just the beginning of a heartfelt addition to the Sullivan chronicles. It demonstrates everything this large, kindhearted, and protective family is. I love the Sullivans and would like very much to be friends with any or all of them. Bella captivates you with her characters and draws you into their world as they work through whatever is thrown their way. I love the protectiveness of Ashley’s brothers, but at the same time wanted to smack them in the head for being so overbearing. While they like Nash and describe him as a good man, they don’t think he is good enough for their sister and not afraid to let everyone know it.
Nash has quite the past to overcome. Things he did in his youth through anger and frustration led to jail time and a reputation as a bad boy. Not the best character for a single mom trying to protect her son! He really understands how he can affect Ashley and Kevin, and that says he is unselfish and really has her best interests at heart.
Ashley is every bit as protective of her son as her brothers are for her… (see it runs n the Sullivan family). Her ex, the scoundrel in this opposites attract romance must be put in his place, and Nash is willing to let Ashley take the lead, stand up for herself and her son, and be there as support.
I’ve loved the Sullivan stories, ALL 22 of them!!! You can jump in at any point and don’t need to read the previous books to enjoy this story, but I know you will want to go back and read all of them once you start. They are a huge family with branches in San Francisco, Seattle, NY, Maine, London, and hmmm, maybe more! I know when I open a Sullivan book, I have many hours of time well spent.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024I always enjoy Bella Andre's books. This was a continuation of the Sullivan story which was very interesting. Please note it is Explicit
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023I like a good love story and this qualifies. I didn’t understand the guilt after 11 years over a high school pregnancy. Maybe this is an older book because I don’t think people feel guilty about any choices they make now. Nash was the perfect crush and an enjoyable lead character.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2022Ashley was 17 when she unexpectedly found herself pregnant with her boyfriend Josh's child, after her first time! Then when she tells Josh he does a runner. Then 9 years later he comes back to Bar Harbor and expects everything to go the way he thinks it should. Thankfully after 11 years Ashley doesn't want anything to do with Josh! However, since she wants only the best for Kevin, she allows Josh in Kevin's life. Only it seems that, not every time, but 8 out of 10 Josh bails on Kevin and leaves her to handle the situation. Well her brother Brandon is opening up another one of his hotels in Vienna and finally talks her into going for the opening! Granted she will only be in Vienna for two days, but she has a plan to get the most out of her time. The first morning she is there Brandon calls to see if she can have breakfast with him. They have just sat down at a lovely street Cafe and ordered when he gets an SOS from his assistant and he has to leave right then! He explains to Ashley on the way what is happening and when they get several city blocks away they can hear why the police are demanding that something be done right away! Not only is Nash Hardwin the entertainer Brandon has brought in for his opening, but he is secretly Ashley's fantasy man, she loves his songs, which undoubtedly so does everyone outside the hotel, with the crowd getting bigger by the minute. So when they get to the penthouse, Nash is furious! Brandon had promised him that no one would find out he was there! When Brandon suggests a solution, at first Ashley is adamant she can't do it, then her brother, being as pervasive as ever gets both Ashley and Nash to agree! What is the solution? Will Ashley and Nash be able to pull it off? What happens after? Only one way to find out, read this great story by Bella Andre. If this is your first book, you may want to go back and read about the other Sullivan's. What an amazing family Bella Andre has given us insight to. Thank you Bella!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2024Really enjoyed this one. It had all the great elements of a good story. Highly recommend this book! It was really fun
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021Bella Andre does it every time! She gives us a swoony, sexy, strong alpha male who has never know love and gives him a strong, sweet, soft woman to prove he deserves it. Nash left home at sixteen to make his way in the music business. When you have a mother who has done nothing but tell you that you are worthless, you get out as quickly as you can and you close your heart off to everyone! Ashley made the mistake of getting pregnant when she was only seventeen, then watching her boyfriend disappear. She has raised Kevin with the help of her supportive if not overprotective family for the last eleven yrs. Her brother Brandon talks her into a vacation to Vienna for the opening of his hotel. Little does she know that she would meet her nightly fantasy and he would be the perfect man for her, except for the never settle down, cant love anyone, traveling the world thing! The thing i loved most about Nash & Ashley's story, they were always completely honest with each other! There was no angst amd wondering what the other was feeling. They talked about everything and nothing at the same time. When a Sullivan falls, they fall hard and fast, the question is, will Nash trust himself to fall too? Check out this story and every other book in the Sullivan series, you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful heart rending Sullivan story
Hooray the Sullivans are back with another great story this time about Ashley who is the youngest of seven
and a single mum of an 11 year old boy after falling pregnant at 17 . Her whole life is wrapped around her son and managing her families stores.
Her brother who owns a chain of hotel is opening one in Vienna she goes along and his special guest is the man of her dreams Nash Hardwin who is a famous singer songwriter. Ashley is brought into help a situation with Nash and begins a great adventure . Can two people with totally different backgrounds
come together . I wanted the book to go on and on and on

I took a while to finish reading, because I did not want the beautiful love story to end. It was such an exciting novel. Made me laugh out loud, also shed a tear or two. Looking forward to the next Sullivan's story. Have read every novel.
