About the Book

Title: Still Holding Out for You 
Series: Real American Country #4 
Author: Jennifer Carr 
Publisher: JCarr Writes, LLC 
Release Date: October 21, 2025 
Genre: Women's Fiction, Contemporary Romance

They met chasing dreams on national TV. 

What they found was something bigger than fame. 

Austin Blake always thought ranch life was his future—until a chance encounter at a dusty Montana bar lands him a spot on Real American Country, a televised music competition that could change everything. When he meets Willow Gracin, a fiercely talented singer from Savannah with a heart full of lyrics and something to prove, sparks fly—on and off the stage. 

As the cameras roll and the music plays, Austin and Willow find a connection deeper than either expected. But when the spotlight fades, life has its own rhythm—one that tests their strength, their love, and everything they thought they knew about purpose and passion. 

When a tragic diagnosis threatens to silence their love song, country music stars Austin and Willow must fight for a future together in a way they never imagined. Spanning a decade of soaring highs and devastating lows, this is a story about the love you hold onto, the legacy you leave behind, and the music that carries you home, even after the last note has faded.

Review

Still Holding Out for You is the first book I have read written by Jennifer Carr, and it was very emotional. I was not expecting it. Even though the author has a content warning. My brain shut that off and forgot about it as I started to read the book.

The story starts with a singing contest. It was a fun place to begin the story and watch Austin and Willow get close. Then they go on tour together, and we watch the love story unfold more. It was at this point that I felt we were nearing the end of the story, but there was still more. To avoid any spoilers, we have a story with music, love, passion, hope, loss, grief, and more.  

The romance is closed-door with kisses only. This is clean fiction, not Christian, so there is mention of sleeping in the same bed, waking up together, and snuggling as Austin and Willow lived together before they were married.  I personally did not love this, but I appreciated that it was a clean romance with no spicy content.

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion
