    About this audiobook

    Katherine: I thought I could enjoy a night out like a normal person. I thought I could handle the flashing lights, the pulsing music, the crowded dance floor. I couldn't have been more wrong. After having an anxiety attack and passing out during my sister's engagement party at Panic, I wake up in the arms of the hottest guy I've ever seen. Nick Moreno's no gentleman. But he might just be the man I need to help me take control of my life.

    Nick: When I hear there's some random girl passed out in the back room of my family's South Beach nightclub, I'm pissed. My dad's already behind bars and we can't afford any more bad press. But after giving her a lift-literally-back to her apartment, I stop seeing Katherine Wilson as some random girl. She's gorgeous, vulnerable, and braver than she knows. And when we kiss, all I want to do is pull her close and promise that she'll always be safe in my arms.

    Sidney Halston

    USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives her life with one simple rule: "Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly what she did. After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way. She is the author of Kiss Kiss Bang.

      Yeesh Nico was kinda nasty in so many ways. I needed to know if Katherine would get better so I kept going but the constant references to Nico and his sexual appetites along with his treatment of women in general was just irritating. He calls them names and really doesn't have a lot of respect. I like he pushed Katherine to get better. There is some sweet parts and others seemed forced. He's just a weird character who seems to pretend so much. Like he says it's been years for sex yet says after his ex he had hook ups and then said my recent hook ups. Not really clear. Then he treated Katherine like dirt in the beginning and she nearly chased him. It's nauseating that authors that are women write women who are so weak in that area, chasing men to apologize or explain when that man is the one who is judgemental and stereotypes people.

      wow - this was an intense ride. I really liked how specific the details were on the experience of having PTSD, and how the symptoms, and what others see, are similar to those of someone who is under the influence. it is so easy to judge the actions of others, and maybe this will make people more open to understanding someone with PTSD or even believing them when it looks like it is a drug-induced behavior rather than a panic issue. at first, I had a hard time understanding why Katherine would even care what Nico thought, since he was being such a jerk (for his own good reasons), but her attraction to him explained this, as well as his concern for her, which was obvious in his actions even as he continued to judge her as a user. finally, yes, the sex was hot and they couldn't keep their hands off each other once they started, but the love was there and it wasn't just a roll in the sack for either of them - both of these characters deserved to find love.

      Pull Me Close by Sidney HalstonBook #1: The Panic SeriesSource: Author and PurchaseMy Rating: 5/5 starsMy Review: I don’t even know what to do with this one . . . . Sidney Halston knows exactly how to stab a reader in the heart, twist the blade, and then leave you lying there wondering what the hell just happened. Pull Me Close is no exception to this rule. Nick and his twin brother, Matt have been through hell and back. Their father is a criminal who is now serving time, they are under constant surveillance by all the alphabet government agencies, and there’s very little time for anything outside of the shared club, Panic. Panic is finally back on the right side of the law and Nick intends for the club to stay there. One thing that will get he, his brother, and Panic in trouble is a woman overdosing on site. Which is precisely how Nick finds himself in the position he is in, carrying a passed out woman home rather than taking her to the hospital. Nick is certain the woman has damn-near overdosed and if there is one thing he has no patience for, it’s a drug user. Technically, Katherine does take drugs, but it isn’t what Nick thinks. When she finally comes to, and in the days that follow, Katherine finds she needs Nick to understand her situation. She needs him to know she isn’t an addict but there are very real issues in play that require medication from time to time. In fact, it takes Katherine taking medication and an incredible amount of courage to be able to leave her home in order to explain herself to Nick. Though it takes a few attempts and more than a bit of awkwardness, Katherine is finally able to convince Nick she isn’t an addict. Once Nick fully understands Katherine’s situation, he is able to settle in and really get to know Katherine. What Nick finds is an intelligent, funny and sexy woman who has a tragic past that has led to her current situation. Furthermore, he find a woman who wants to overcome her situation and is willing to do the hard work. Nick finds himself, for the first time in a very long time, actually caring about a woman beyond having sex with her. In fact, Nick finds himself doing research and asking questions that will allow him to help Katherine in her endeavors. With work, time, effort, caring, comfort, and concern progress is made and Katherine and Nick are both happier than either has been in a very long time. Unfortunately, the universe needs balance and Katherine and Nick’s happiness is eventually overshadowed by tragedy and an intense sadness that will leave you reeling.The Bottom Line: This book gutted me!! Katharine is such a contradiction in the best way possible and Nick is the strong, sexy, demanding man who helps right her world. Their relationship reads as so very authentic. It isn’t all roses and rainbows, but a relationship that has really beautiful moments tempered by arguments and disagreements that are then balanced by more truly beautiful moments. It’s a vicious cycle that had me, from page to page, on edge wondering when the next round of awful was going to rip through Nick and Katherine. Generally, I didn’t have to wait to long for those moments and I welcomed them knowing those moments would be balanced by something so very good. As always, Halston’s book is woven together rather than simply written, her characters are solid, real people with real issues, and the dialogue is on point and more than able to carry every aspect of the story. Another strongly and enthusiastically recommended read!!

      I've never read a book where the main character had such a bad case of anxiety. I felt so sorry for her. Thankfully, she meets Nico and his twin brother, Matt. With the help of Nico and a few months, he finally helps Katherine to want to get better and finally stick with it. It takes a few months and while he's helping they can't deny the incredible bond they're developing. They were hot together; intensely hot. I'm now patiently waiting for Matt to get his lady and his HEA. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.
