First I am going to say way to go Author Cassie Colton. You knocked this book way out the park. I couldn’t and didn’t want to put it down even when I had to force myself at 5:00am. I loved each and every one of your books but this one is my favorite. If you have not read her books yet I highly recommend it. If you’re reading this, this is book 3 go to book one before you read my review below.

First I am going to say is Holy Cow!!! This book was so amazing. I highly recommend reading from book 1 as this is a series and you will get a much better understanding of the characters. There is so much of the book that I could write and spoil but I will not. I will say that what Chase and the team went through had me in straight up tears. My heart literally broke for Kassie. But I knew how strong Kassie was just based on everything she went through. James is one piece of work. I couldn’t believe the whole Jameson stuff but then again I wasn’t surprised not one bit. This book had me happy with laughter to sadness with crying. Even the ugly tears came at some points. Kassie got the shock of a lifetime and I have some thoughts of Leo’s book which I am eagerly already ready for it. Catherine and Samantha’s jaw literally did a Mic drop. lol

Keeping Kassie is the last book of Chase and Kassie's story, and it starts with breaking my heart but gives you a glimpse of the future.

The guys from the SEALs team and Chase went on a recovery mission, only to be lost at sea. While everyone is accepting their deaths, Kassie his holding fast that they will make it back and continues to build their dream.

After months of danger of fiercely fighting to get back, the mission they were on was successful in a way but also brought home unexpected pain, heartache, and danger

This part of their story broke my heart as the pain, loss and intense love is on each page you turn. Chase and Kassie's story has not truly ended nor has the danger the characters in the book are facing.

I received a free copy of this book via Cassie Colton and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow! This third book in Chase and Kassie’s store is a rollercoaster of emotions!
The dedication was a story in itself. A heart warming tribute to family and love.
What do you do when all hope appears to be lost? Do you give up and grieve and move in or do you hold on to the hope for happiness at all costs.
In addition to the main characters, there are many other wonderful characters that feel like family by the time you are done reading this final installment if Chase and Kassie’s story.
Get your copy and sit down to read this fast paced and emotional book!

First off let me tell you Cassie Colton is a powerhouse new author. This book has everything that you could want. Kassie is hiding a huge secret. Who does she trust? Her number one goal is to keep Emma safe at all cost. Kassie’s best friend knows something is up, she turns to ex navy seal friend Leo for help. Leo entrust a doctor Chase to keep her safe up at serenity mountain. Does Kassie trust Leo or Chase? Does her secret get exposed? I already can’t wait for the next book to come from this amazing author.

I hated to stop my reading on this story, but you have to sleep sometime. I was involved throughout this whole story. I was glad with Cassie's training she was able to protect herself and Emma, although the little one had some interesting training herself. There's plenty of action, suspense, rescues and a HEA. Can't wait for Cathrine's story.

Great emotional read

Make sure you have tissues ready for this one. The highs and lows keep coming.

You will cheer for the heroine and cry for the hero. I can't wait for the HEA for the rest of the team

The final chapter of Kassie's story is such a great read. It was a great conclusion to the 3-book story. It was full of ups and downs and was impossible to put down. I can't wait for the next book.

The best book of all 3, though, in my opinion, probably could've been 1/2 books, not 3. Still needs some work on format, spelling, names, etc, but the story between Chase and Kassie really works in this final book, and I'm still intrigued by secondary characters which will mean I'll read more!

This is the 3rd book in The Serenity Mountain Series. You must read both previous books to understand what is happening in this book. There are follow up books to this one as well.

This seems to be the final book with Kassie as the FMC and Chase as the MMC. They are separated once again by a helicopter crash that leaves the team pronounced dead. Kassie holds out hope that Chase is still alive but the rest of the world doesn't have her same faith.

This book is a good conclusion to the story line, but there were a lot of things that did not seem realistic. So many people were "discovered" and they all were connected. It was written well and I could follow the sequence in which events happened, but just quite unbelievable.

Another brilliant book by Cassie Colton. Wow.
I have enjoyed these books immensely and when everything comes to a head in this one. Just Wow!
This continues in for Chase and Kassie and their little Emma. Everyone thinks the team died at the end of the last book and so that is on everyone's mind as is James Stanton.
All the drama, tension, intrigue and danger carries through this book as does the suspense. It really is an emotional part of the series, and all that gets shown through the plot.
So well written, I'm loving the characters not just Chase, Kassie and Emma but the whole myriad of them that makes this book so involving. Can't wait to see what comes next from this author. It's going to be great!!

Keeping Kassie is the third book in Chase and Kassie’s love story and is the BEST one yet!! You will feel so many different emotions in this suspenseful conclusion to a love story that we have waited for since book one! I loved that this book wasn’t just more of the same with a damsel in distress. We see how far Kassie has come, her strength, resilience, and her unwavering love and support for the people she considers her family. You become invested in these characters, and we are given a glimpse into the private lives of the “Team,” that is setting up their stories to come! I cannot wait for more!!

Keeping Kassie is book three is the Serenity Mountain Series and final book for Chase and Kassie. Strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride! You’ll feel every emotion. I even laughed and cried. This book deserves more than five stars! The suspense, steam, and love is written beautifully. I got so caught up in the story the rest of my world just disappeared. Then the ending and epilogue! What does Ms. Colton have up her sleeve.

Keeping Kassie is the third book in the Serenity Mountain Series, and they must be read in order! Buckle up for a roller coaster ride of emotions with this book, really with all 3 books. I don't want to give away any of the good stuff! I have been waiting for Kassie and Chase's HEA since the beginning. They have both been through so much! I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend the whole series! I can't wait to see how each of the team members stories unfold!
