Publisher's Summary:
New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author J. A. Redmerski brings us a heart-wrenching new standalone adult novel.
You can follow the rules, or you can follow your heart....
Sienna Murphy never does anything without a plan. And so far her plans have been working. Right after college she got a prestigious job and gained the stability she'd always craved - until work takes her to the sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.
Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he's convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can't deny the deep connection he feels. But there's a reason Luke doesn't do long-term. He can't promise Sienna forever when the enormity of his past has shown him just how fragile the future can be....

This book was good and I loved the message but it was slow at times and really easy to put down and forget about for a few months. I think that was my biggest problem. There were moments where I was so into the book and I couldn't put it down and then it'd get to a part where I just...lost interest and then I'd put the book away and read something else. Rinse and repeat throughout the last five months.
I'd still recommend reading it because a) it's J.A. Redmerski and b) the characters are amazing and I loved the romance.

Sienna Murphy is in Hawaii to execute a wedding planning job. While everything seems to go wrong and she steps out to take a few deep breaths and relax, she meets carefree surfer-boy Luke Everett and they exchange a couple of words. Luke's straightforwardness and the way he sees through her struck her, and suddenly make her question all her choices. The first one being stepping on a plane back to San Diego.
What I loved about this book:
Hawaii? The setting? But that's gotta be it!
What I felt needed improvement:
The pace of the book
The flat storyline
I used to be a huge J.A. Redmerski fan, and still think that The Edge of Never is a wonderful book that will forever remain on my Top 20 list of books to read before you die. However, The Moment of Letting Go wasn't quite as good as previous books from this author. Two things majorly put me off when reading this book. First:the main characters., and second: the pace and the storyline.
Let's tackle the first concern first. Well, I just thought Sienna was really kind of a"meh" character. She works a job that she doesn't really enjoy, she has friends which aren't really friends because they are both from completely different worlds, and she gave up on so many passions for the sake of the job previously mentioned (and which she doesn't particularly like).
So yeah, running into a crazy carefree guy like Luke sounds like she is bound to think twice about the life she has been living up until now. But then again, Luke is the complete opposite. While Sienna is more like a "live to work" kind of person, Luke is someone who (casually) works to live, and who wants to live life to the fullest.
