One hidden crush.
One bunch of plastic mistletoe.
One alcohol-fueled kiss.
One set of taillights as Max Martino left town.
Sixteen years later…
Sam Addison hates change, and his company’s new merger is stretching him to his limit. When Sam finds out an older, hotter, and amazingly talented Max Martino is part of the acquisition, he knows the only way to keep his sanity is to avoid Max—and their history—at any cost.
Max never planned to settle down, but recently he’s been pining for roots. A new job, a new city, and a second chance with Sam makes the thought of staying in one place exciting for the first time ever.
But the harder Max pushes, the farther Sam runs, sometimes literally, and Max begins to wonder if Sam can ever let go of the biggest mistake Max ever made—leaving.
But maybe a second chance at forever is as simple as holding the door open for love.
Hold the Door is an 80,000-word contemporary romance that features friends to lovers and a second chance at love, a sassy work husband, and surfing lessons that often lead to more. Hold the Door is the first book in the Open Doors series and can be read as a standalone.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
This is a heartfelt tale of trust and taking chances. When Sam and Max last saw one another, things didn't go well. A whole lot of tension and weariness arises when they meet again.
I have to admit I love Sam's reaction to seeing Max again. I felt bad for him, but I admit to giggling a lot.
Their story is super sweet. It includes many surf lessons, that ultimately help bring them much closer. Not only does it increase the physical attraction between them, their friendship rekindles, and feelings are admitted.
The writing style is perfect to me. Written in alternating first person pov, everything about the writing works for me. I find the author's writing style to be soothing and comforting.
Hold the Door is one of those tales where a lack of communication caused the rift between the men. Some readers hate that aspect, but I have no problem with it. This Vinni George is well worth a read the next time you're in the mood for a second chance romance.
