Keep Me
I was only supposed to be here for the summer.
Three months. Just enough time to clear my head, breathe again, maybe flirt with a cute local if I got bored.
What I wasn’t supposed to do was fall for my neighbor.
Luke North doesn’t talk much. Doesn’t smile either. But when my car broke down, he showed up. When the power went out, he opened his door. And when I brought him cookies to say thank you, he told me he didn’t want them.
He wanted me.
Rough hands. Quiet eyes. The kind of body that makes you forget how to lie to yourself.
I told him this was temporary.
He said we’d see.
Now I’m not so sure what scares me more—leaving… or staying.
Because Luke doesn’t do casual.
And when he says I’m his?
He means forever.

I am enjoying these short stories by Kate Love. She is a good writer who brings a realism to the story without being overly fantastical or unbelievable.
This story is only 71 pages and was a super quick read.
Mountain man Luke is rooted in his small town and was content to be alone until Tessa’s car came sputtering and coughing into the cabin drove next door.
Tessa came from Portland to the mountains to get away, reset and focus on herself again. But her brooding and insanely hot neighbor stakes a claim on her she isn’t sure she even wants.
This is a sweet story of quiet, gentle, I see you love. The way Luke sees Tessa is the way every woman wants to be seen and heard.
I loved this story and can’t wait to see what else she has out there. If you haven’t read anything by Kate Love before and are looking for a quickie read, then try this one.

The book I’m reviewing today is titled, Keep Me which is written by Kate Love. This story is a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, opposites-attract, grumpy-sunshine, girl gets her mountain man erotic romance. The tension and chemistry between the two were fiery and swoon-worthy romance made my toes curl. This is a sweet story of quiet, gentle, I see you kind of love. The way Luke sees Tessa is the way every woman wants to be seen and heard.

Tessa has come to this cabin for a reset, to find herself for the summer and hope to start again when it's over. Her next door neighbor, Luke, is a gruff teddy bear. He shows his love with actions not words. But Tessa fights it all the way until she realizes this wasn't just for the summer, it was forever.

This book is not only jaw dropping hot but it’s going to leave you speechless. OMG Kate had my attention beginning with the cover and once I started reading all about Luke and Tessa my body started overheating. This book is the perfect read and has an amazing storyline.
