WOW THE SUSPENSE!!
Rio is the CEO of a company that takes down bad guys. When Rio was young he was into some less than legal thinga and he’s tried to keep them buried to protect his family and his business. But then Delilah walks into his office and threatens to ruin everything.
Delilah is tired of being a pawn in the games of men. She doesn’t trust anyone after years of emotional and physical abuse. Delilah witnessed something unthinkable and can’t sit by and let it harms to anyone else. So she finds someone who can bring down the evil that created her.
Delilah threatens to blackmail Rio with evidence of his past. But as they spend more time together the respect grows between them and so does the attraction.
I loved the tension that built between these two. Delilah is a powerhouse that is tired of taking sh*t from men. Rio is a king who showed her how a real man should treat a woman. The suspense drew me in but their connection had me coming back for more.
Thank you Sienna for this advanced copy!!

Went in preparing to read a romance, but the suspense drew me in immediately. Once I started, I could not put this book down! May or may not have finished the second half in one sitting.

🖤 Love Found Them Where Trust Couldn't 🖤
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When I finished Devoted Keeper, the very first thing I wrote down was, "WOW...the suspense!"
From the opening chapters, Sienna Judd pulls you into a world filled with danger, deception, and impossible choices. I kept telling myself I would stop after one more chapter, but every twist made it impossible to put down. The suspense kept me turning the pages, but it was Rio and Delilah's relationship that made me completely fall in love with this story.
Rio Mendez is the kind of hero who quietly carries the weight of his past on his shoulders. Once tied to a dangerous motorcycle club, he has spent years building a life he can be proud of while protecting the family and business he loves. Then Delilah Cross walks into his office carrying secrets that threaten everything he's worked so hard to leave behind.
Delilah was easily one of my favorite heroines of the series. After years of manipulation, emotional abuse, and being treated like a pawn by the men around her, she refuses to accept that life any longer. She's determined to save two missing women, even if it means blackmailing the one man capable of helping her. Underneath her tough exterior is someone who has never truly experienced safety, trust, or unconditional love, making her emotional journey just as compelling as the suspense surrounding them.
What begins as reluctant teamwork quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Their fake relationship creates plenty of tension, but the emotional connection developing underneath it is what truly stood out. Neither Rio nor Delilah trust easily, yet little by little they begin lowering the walls they've spent years building. Watching them discover they weren't so different after all made every chapter even more rewarding.
The chemistry between them was fantastic, but what impressed me most was the mutual respect they developed. Rio never tried to diminish Delilah's strength, and Delilah never expected Rio to carry every burden alone. Instead, they became partners in every sense of the word.
And then there's the suspense.
Every time I thought I had the story figured out, another twist appeared. Between the missing women, rival motorcycle clubs, betrayals, and dangerous secrets, the tension never let up. I genuinely stayed up far later than I intended because I had to know how everything would unfold.
The Mendez family continues to be one of my favorite fictional families. They bring humor, loyalty, and heart to every scene, while Tina completely stole several moments all on her own.
One quote perfectly captures everything this story represents:
"Love is what happens when someone finds our inner broken and still thinks we're the most valuable thing in the room."
That single sentence embodies Rio and Delilah's entire journey.
Devoted Keeper delivers everything I love in a romantic suspense: unforgettable characters, genuine emotional growth, heart-racing danger, incredible chemistry, and a love story built on trust instead of perfection.
Thank you to Sienna Judd for the ARC. This was an incredible conclusion to the series, and I cannot wait to see where your stories take readers next.

A romantic suspense that does not disappoint.
Rio was a private, grumpy tech CEO trying to hide from a past he was ashamed of, all while trying to protect his family. Delilah was just trying to survive, do the right thing, and give her dog a good life. They both come across as hard and spoiled or money hungry, but are really great people. I loved the moment they finally gave in. Will they? Won't they? Yes please! Both of the MCs were protective of each other, and I was here for it. When sh-- hits the fan, I stayed up late to finish because it was so intense I could not put it down.
We get an age gap, forced proximity, blackmail, slow burn, tension, motorcycle club, fake dating, touch her and ☠️, and more. Characters from previous books are in this and we still love them. 😍
🏍 Lines:
There's no doubt I have more to lose than her . But then, the value of our lives is determined much like beauty — it's in the eye of the beholder. It's in how much gratitude, love and obsession you have for the things already in it.
Because freedom without salvation isn't worth it.
Animals are chicken soup for the soul.
I don't trust people, but that doesn't mean I won't help them.
You move forward. You make the call. You don't sit in what's already gone.
Once you're thirty, you'll face more peer pressure to eat protein than you did to do drugs in your teens.
They have more in common than they know. Neither has the disease to please. Neither cares about being popular.
"Everyone is broken in some way...Some of it shows on the outside...But there's another kind of broken. The broken that we hide with an almost desperate hope that nobody gets close enough to find it...Love is what happens when someone finds our inner broken and still thinks we're the most valuable thing in the room." 🫶🏽

Years after deciding to stop working for bad guys - apart from occasional favors here and there - and focusing on his job at his family's business, Rio Mendez is living an apparently nice life until Delilah Cross - daughter of his ex-boss' rival MC -shows up at his office demanding his help to find two missing women, threatening to out him if he refuses it. Agreeing to meet her a few days after that first moment so he could give her an answer, Rio, with help from David, does some research about Delilah and finds out she's engaged to his former boss' son and starts getting suspicious of her intentions.
Some time later, things from Delilah's side changes abruptly and she tries to contact Rio so they could meet sooner, can't reach out to him, and decides to go after him at his house. Once there - accompanied by her loyal dog friend Tina -, she makes up a story about being Rio's girlfriend. Rio comfirms her story. Then between his family and the love Tina shows to him - what makes Delilah feel a little furious -, Rio realizes the women's story is even more complicated than he thought and decides to tell his family about his old life, getting help from them to dismantle the human trafficking network. Delilah, noticing that Rio is not exactly who she thought he was, decides she ought to do something to also protect him.
Among betrayals, suspicion, and misunderstandings, Rio and Delilah will have to learn to rely on each other if they want to fight crimes, and maybe find love.

Review of advance copy received from Author
The Mendez brothers never disappoint! I think this is my first enemies to lovers fake dating and let me tell you I’m here for it. The way these two wanted each other was so good, both willing to burn the world down to save the other.
Rio has a dark past with Black Ridge, but he got out, he’s been living good helping his brothers run Ghost Eye doing good. But Black Ridge has a hold over him, and he never knows when its going to be called into play.
Delilah is the daughter of Ledger the head of Iron Covenant the rivals of Black Ridge. She wants out, she has seen all the evil her father is dealing with and she needs to get out before her impending marriage to Luther the head of Black Ridge, a marriage that is set to end a war between rival gangs. She’s armed with information and a plan to bring them all down. But to make it happen she needs help and there is only one man that can help her.
I devoured this book so quickly. With rival gangs out to get both Rio and Delilah I felt like anything could happen. Judd masters the balance of danger and suspense with sweet loving moments. Getting to see two people who have been given a multitude of reasons to not trust people learn to trust each other and depend on each other was so enjoyable. The Mendez family always adds so much fun the stories, between Louis being the charmer that he is and Tina there are so many opportunities to see our rough strong leading characters really are just big ol softies.

✨ARC REVIEW✨ 4⭐️ Can’t believe it’s the end of this series! Delilah might be the daughter of the MC club president but she’s working every day to escape that life. That is until she discovers she might have played a part in what happened to two missing women. When she stumbles upon Rio’s file she knows he might just be the one who has the means and is willing to help her. Rio escaped that world with just for Delilah to drag him back in. When she shows up looking for help the last thing he expects is to fall for Delilah but in order to keep her close they put on a ruse that they are dating for his family. The time they are spending together though Rio is finding it harder and harder to stay away but his old world could drag everyone down if they aren’t careful.
I’ve been excited for Rio’s story this whole series! Delilah just wants to escape and live a quiet life away from all the things her father has done. Rio might just be her only way out so she can escape without the fate of those two women on her conscience. Rio is so much deeper than she seems throughout and I really enjoyed seeing who he really is through his story! I just love little Tina too!! Delilah truly finds a home and a family she never thought was possible. So many twists and turns with this one that kept me guessing! What an end to the series!!

This was such a fantastic way to end the series! While I'm so sad to see it come to a close, I'm also incredibly happy that all the characters finally got the happily-ever-afters they deserved 😭😭.
Delilah is being forced into a marriage and has a plan to run away, but she's become aware of two girls who might be trafficked by her father, MC, and now she's on a mission to save both them and herself—with the help (and blackmail) of Rio Mendez.
Rio did what he needed to help his brother start GhostEye and bargained his way out. Now, Delilah is at his doorstep, and she could potentially ruin everything he and his family have built!
I'm OBSESSED with the dynamic between Delilah and Rio! They are a perfect match in every way. Their enemies-to-lovers journey made it all the more compelling. Watching them slowly realize that they both want to save the girls and break free from their pasts was simply perfect.
I'm so happy they both got their HEA! And Delilah finally finds the family she's always secretly longed for.
This whole series had amazing suspense and this book was no different! I was hooked and on the edge of my seat to find out what had happened to the girl and how they would take down Delilah's father and the rival MC!
This has been such an amazing series, and I can't wait to see what’s next!

This book had me completely hooked from the very first chapter. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The perfect blend of suspense, danger, mystery, and slow-building romance kept me on edge the entire time. Every clue, every twist, and every step closer to finding the missing women had me desperate to know what would happen next.
Rio and Delilah's journey was packed with tension, emotional depth, and undeniable chemistry. What starts as a reluctant partnership quickly evolves into something far more complicated as secrets unravel and feelings grow stronger. Their connection felt authentic, and watching their walls come down was one of my favorite parts of the story.
As my very first mafia romance, this book exceeded all expectations. The world-building was immersive, the stakes felt incredibly real, and the suspense never let up. You can truly see the care and effort the author poured into every detail. If you love high-stakes romance, fake dating, protective heroes, gripping suspense, and emotional twists, this is one you won't want to miss.
What to expect:
🖤 Mafia romance
❤️ Fake dating
🖤 Forced proximity
❤️ Missing persons mystery
🖤 Suspense & action

i feel like i've been WAITINGGGG for Rio's story for SO LONG and OMFG did Sienna deliver with this one!! After Rio walked away from the motorcycle club lifestyle to take over the family business, little do they know the promises that Rio made all those years ago to secure the future his family's future. When Delilah, the daughter of the rival MC Rio was in all those years ago, comes knocking, he has no choice to help or face his past catch up with him.
I will DEVOUR every twin flame story I read because I just feel like it's such an underrated book trope! And boy were Rio and Delilah perfect matches for each other. Despite their...tumultuous first meetings, you could just see how well the two integrated together. And how well Delilah fit into the entire Mendez family 🤭🤭 And, of course, no one can write a romantic suspense quite like Sienna! What a fun ride that was!
I can't believe we're leaving Echo Valley, but so excited to see what comes next for Sienna!

This one might just be a new favourite in this series!! I absolutely love Rio and Delilah, they have my heart and damnnn was their story HOT! Sienna never misses 🥹
Delilah is such a strong character, she really did show us how it’s done!! Her determination and motivation to get what needed to be done, done was very inspiring AND HOT!! I absolutely loved her and her storyline.
Rio PHEWWW I am weak at the knees for this man. I love him so much and I love how obsessed he was with Delilah, what started off as fake, ended as sparks flying everywhere!! I have an obsession with him 🙂↕️
I love Sienna’s books, she hooks me in immediately every single time and I never want to leave. I love this series so much, the tension and the suspense is the perfect mix. The way they end up teaming up to complete what needed to be done had me screaming. The chemistry between them was extremely well written and very hot!!

Devoted Keeper by Sienna Judd was such a fun and emotional read! Rio and Delilah had incredible chemistry from the very beginning, and their enemies-to-lovers journey kept me hooked the entire time.
The fake dating setup was executed perfectly, creating plenty of tension, banter, and swoon-worthy moments as their relationship slowly became something much more real. I also loved the found family aspect of the story; it added so much heart and warmth to the overall experience.
Rio was protective, devoted, and impossible not to love, while Delilah was strong, relatable, and a perfect match for him. Their growth as individuals and as a couple made their romance feel authentic and satisfying.
As an ARC reader, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to readers who love enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, and found family romances with plenty of heart and chemistry. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4.5⭐️ of fantastic suspense, determination, and finding trust and love where you didn’t expect. Delilah comes to Rio because she’s believes her Dad is trafficking women and she wants him stopped. He’s also promised her via marriage to a rival club president in order to merge. She’s never been given freedom or allowed many of her own decisions and with what she’s found she’s determined to gain her freedom. Rio is her only chance. The development of them going from dancing around each other to learning to trust each other is well done. Rio protects her without smothering her and making her feel contained. He works to earn her trust and he’s nothing but honest with her. She works hard to show her independence but also finds having family and support makes all the difference. Their chemistry is hot and they are a perfect match! They have many obstacles to overcome with trying to uncover the truth. Will Delilah have to give up her freedom and go back before justice can be served?

We are back in Echo Valley and jump right into the story. A little blackmail in chapter one. Sienna Judd has given a story with danger, suspense, mystery, and plenty of clues to find missing women. Just enough to keep the curiosity flowing, the need to know more. What will happen next?
Then there is the slow journey of Rio and Delilah’s romance. The evolution from partners to more makes the read genuine, the chemistry is there, but the complications are deep. Before we know it, situations unravel, and I am on the edge of my seat. I was not prepared for the twists and the urgency of the situation.
The story will grab you and not let go, the thought crossed my mind that they might not get out of this mess. As the danger increases, I hope that Rio and his brothers are not casualties.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

The story will grab you and not let go, the thought crossed my mind that they might not get out of this mess. As the danger increases, I hope that Rio and his brothers are not casualties.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Devoted Keeper by Sienna Judd is the story of Rio and Delilah. Soooo hugely romantic!!! She approaches him out of nowhere…with a request. Help her find two missing girls. Rio is doubtful about her motives…at best. When he makes new discoveries, the tension heightens…even more reason to doubt her. Then, she approaches him with a proposition…one he has difficulty refusing…
Freaking aaaaaamazing read!!! Really LOVED both these characters. Delilah is determined and her heart is in the right place. Rio is skeptical, but wants soooo badly to believe….pins and needles, edge-of-your-seat drama and danger abound!!! Fantastic story!!!

It starts out with blackmail and turns into a whole lot more as close proximity with Rio has Delilah wanting more. She wants help finding two women that has gone missing with ties that leads back to her father. He agrees and their path starts but the clos er they get to finding the women the more dangerous it becomes and soon Rio himself may fall along with it. Will he and his brothers be able to handle the fallout and keep everyone safe. This story grabs you and doesn't let go until the last page.

what a way to end a series!!
Truly thought this book was an amazing way to end the series. Little cowboy, little suspense, little MMF. And it worked!!
The growing relationship worked as there was uncertainty but a growing trust. And seeing the other characters we’ve grown to love play in the mix was amazing. Hope we return here someday….this was a really beautiful world where love does look for the good in people and you can have a second chance.

ARC REVIEW
What a way to end this series!! Rio and Delilah were absolutely perfection! Watching them learn to trust each other was beautiful! Rio was so protective and Delilah was so fierce. They were perfect for each other!! Fake Dating is always a favorite and this one was executed perfectly. I loved getting to see all of the Mendez Siblings! Luis always makes me smile and sweet Tina was the best side kick Delilah could have.
Thank you Sienna for my advance copy of this book!

'But somewhere between the lies we told his family and the truths he pulled out of me, the idea of losing him becomes unbearable.'
The characters were very complex and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Plot was intriguing and intense and exciting and well paced. World building was excellent and solidly drawn. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

Ugh! This book was spectacular! Delilah was such a badass and I am fully obsessed with her fierceness! Rio is so beautifully complex and loyal and protective. I spent basically the entire second half of the book with tears welled up in my eyes from all of the emotions I was feeling. This book was just so well built and balanced! Obsessed.

These aren't bad books at all they just drag for me and I have a hard time being consumed by them.
This is my second series by this author I'm glad I gave it shot but I think this will be my last.

Sooo... age gaps are not my thing and if I had known that there was one, I probably would not have picked this up HOWEVER, I have to say that I absolutely ADORE the Mendez men and Rio just brought IT however and whatever you reckon IT to be!

Devoted Keeper was a fun and entertaining read that perfectly captured my favorite tropes: enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, and found family. It fit seamlessly into the Echo Valley series ending. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
