Review: His to Keep by Katee Robert

He’s always wanted her. Now’s his chance to claim what’s his.

School teacher Marceline Bellini gave up everything—men, sex, anything resembling a social life—to raise her young daughter. To be the perfect parent. But when she attends an engagement party in her standard stick-in-the-mud mode, her friends begin plying Marcy with shots. Just enough to convince her that a little fun doesn’t sound like a bad idea… and having some naughty fun is an even better one.

Like finding herself deliciously pressed against a dark alley wall by the very familiar and very hot body of her best friend’s older brother.

After years of waiting in painful silence, police officer Aaron Robinson finally has Marcy’s attention. And man, does he have it. But nothing could have prepared either of them for the rush of fiery lust between them. So he’ll just have to convince Marcy he’s for real. And that a rainy, lust-fuelled romp is the first step to a lifetime of completely imperfect happiness…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

His to Keep was so sweet and short. I finished it in one sitting. We meet Marcy when she is celebrating with friends at Chilly’s. I am thinking this is a bar, it did not really explain. Marcy is a single mom who just wants to have fun and not worry about her life for just one night. Then she gets set up with a marine but, the handsome older brother of her best friend has other ideas.

Aaron always thought Marcy was beautiful but the age difference and a stint in the army kept them apart. Throughout the book I felt as if I was missing something. I find out later that there is another book to this series, and that is why I felt out of the loop with some of the side characters. And even the main characters.

I liked it though. It is very odd that you find a hero in the book that wants to take things slowly and the heroine is the one who tempts him and wins LOL. I Loved that they actually went on a date. I can’t remember reading a romance book where the couple actually goes out on a date.

What I didn’t like about the book was what I had said before. I was missing something. So before you decide to read this book, make sure you read the first in the series, In Bed With Mr. Wrong by Katee Robert. That is what I am going to do.
