Wisdom of Worth offered insights to ponder and added to the overall storyline. This was a fantastic read with everything that makes for a great romance.

I LOVED the premise of Keeper! It was so unique and refreshing, and Harloe wrote both characters and their chemistry beautifully. What's better than an alpha with a heart of gold and a strong, relatable heroine? I didn't want to put this book down. Five stars all the way!

This had a completely different vibe than I was expecting! The cover and description make it sound like an intense and emotional read, but it's much more a story of starting over, second chances, and finding love when you least expect it. I'll admit that it took a little while to wrap my head around the storyline and get invested in the characters, but the writing is solid and the premise is interesting so it's definitely a worthwhile read. It's got some sexiness but also a slow burn, and features a somewhat reformed bad boy who finally gets his girl.The story follows Delaney, a young woman who wakes up with no memories and no one to help her understand how she got that way - or what kind of life she was leading before the amnesia. When an old classmate happens upon her in the hospital, Delaney clings to him like a lifeline. Decker is hesitant to get involved for his own reasons, but he can’t resist the woman who seems so alone in the world - especially since he had a huge crush on her growing up. He was trouble back then and never considered himself good enough for Delaney, but he becomes her rock as she begins to lead a whole new life.While this didn't grip me the way I would've liked, I enjoyed it all the way through. These two begin as friends and develop into more, though the attraction is there the whole time. I loved Decker and how patient he was with Delaney as she finds her way. The tone stays mostly light with touches of suspense, and a few sexy times along the way. Though it wasn't quite what I was hoping for, it's a solid read and I would not hesitate to read more from the author. I received an ARC via Candi Kane PR (then purchased it for my collection) and am voluntarily leaving a review of this sexy, second chance (at life and love) romance.

If this talented novelist isn’t on your list of must reads, you need to give her a go because after one book, you’ll be eagerly devouring all of them. It's a mystery to me how she does it, time after time, but each book is better than the last, with irrefutable evidence that she pours herself, heart and soul, into each work. The storyline is riveting, the characters effortlessly abscond readers' hearts, and the tiniest details are tweaked to perfection.Delaney Wallace wakes up in a hospital with no memory of her past. She has only the Wisdoms of Worth, her own inspirational phrases, to cling to, until she sees Decker Fredric standing at the door of her room. He knows immediately who she is and has every one of their past encounters cemented in his brain. While Delaney doesn’t recognize him, there's something she sees in Decker compelling her to trust him. She doesn’t remember that he was a bit of a bad boy, and she never had any idea of his crush on her.Delaney is the very best kind of knife to the heart, and she owned me from the beginning. Bravery is courage in the face of fear, and this is our Dell. Her slate has been wiped clean, and she's starting over. While her memory may be gone, her spirit is indomitable and the fire within her still burns bright, acting as a beacon drawing in those around her like moths to a flame. Before long, she finds her footing, coming into her own, and a secure, confident Delaney is a sight to behold! I have a serious girl crush on this phenomenal, admirable character.I thought Grady from Breaker was my favorite hero from Silo Springs, but then I get to know Decker, and oh my heart! At first, he’s highly amusing, because any hero who claims he'll never settle down while everyone around him can see he's clearly falling for the heroine is entertainment at its best. He’s reluctant to get involved with Delaney, but it isn’t long before his protective side shows up. And he’s so absolutely, amazingly perfect with Delaney – careful and compassionate but light-hearted, fun and encouraging. Everything about this reformed bad boy is swoon-worthy.Some wordsmiths tell a story. The really gifted ones immerse the reader in another existence, and this book does that. It’s like I could see every scene take place in front of me, but better. These captivating, charismatic, beautifully flawed characters took me by the hand and drew me into their story so I walked their journey along with them. There's humor and heat, and nail-biting suspense, but the heart of this book and the emotions it evokes are what elevate it above the vast majority in this crowded genre. Do yourself a favor. Start reading this book today and let Delaney and Decker cast their spell on you. Your romantic heart will thank you and likely never be the same.
