Yours to Keep

By: Shannon Stacey

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

Sean Kowalski no sooner leaves the Army than he's recruited by Emma Shaw to be her fake fiance. Emma needs to produce a husband-to-be for her grandmother's upcoming visit, and, though Sean doesn't like the deception, he could use the landscaping job Emma's offering while he decides what to do with his civilian life. And, despite his attraction to Emma, there's no chance he'll fall for a woman with deep roots in a town he's not planning to call home.

Emma's not interested in a real relationship either; not with a man whose idea of home is wherever he drops his duffel bag. No matter how amazing his "pretend" kisses are....

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Sweet story

Interesting cast of characters. I like this series. The story is sweet, with a meet-cute and the typical longing/denial in this genre.

The only reason I rated it a 3 star and not higher is because there's not a lot of plot going on outside of the romance. It still works well for the type, though.

A couple of sexy scenes. Vanilla.

The narration was okay.

Melt-the-heart kind of good!!

I LOVED this book. This is actually a series although Audible does not say it in the description. This is the third book in the Kowalski Family series.
This is the right order:
- Exclusively Yours
- undeniably Yours
- Yours to keep
This is the first book I've listened to by this author and it certainly will not be the last one.

Emma convinces Sean Kowalski to be her fake fiancé while her grandma comes to visit her so that grandma can stop worrying and enjoy her own life in sunny Florida. This is a light, funny and very romantic story. The ending is quite emotional. Great narrator also. I've you have listened to Susan Mallery books (like the Buchannan series), you'll love this book and this series. Shannon Stacey has just been added to my authors-I-love-list.

I'll keep it

I loved the plot and the characters. The humor is also great (I'm sure my neighbors think I'm a little whacked from seeing me all alone on the patio, giggling), and although you know that love stories always have a happy ending, the getting there was interesting. I want more Kowalski's! The narration was also very pleasant. Lauren Fortgang is becoming one of my favorite narrators.

Better than the first

I don't often think that a second book in a series is better than the first but this one definitely was. I love long series and can't wait to read the rest.

Totally entertaining, loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend. It was fun, fast, and had a fantastic narrator.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Yours to Keep?

The whole story was simple, fun, and totally endearing and kept me listening even when I should have been doing something else.

What does Lauren Fortgang bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is just a great reader and actor. She's great with intonations and just taking her time. Pausing to get a point across and so on. Probably one of, if not THE best narrator I've heard for romances.

Any additional comments?

I've found a new narrator that I love and an author who I'll continue to read as much as I can! Loved everything about it!
