Keep Me In Mind
Aura Sullivan runs his family’s empire with precision and authority, certain of what he wants and not afraid to stake his claim. Like his cousin, Enzo, he moves with intention in both business and in love. While Enzo is in the beginning stages of building something meaningful and steady with Thyri, Aura finds himself chasing her cousin, Danae around. But Danae has never met a man like Aura. The more she runs, the more he chases. Eventually making her realize that persistence really does get you everywhere, especially when you know who and what you want.
Love in the Sullivan circle isn’t just a four letter word. It’s guarded, protected, and rooted in family. And when a Sullivan chooses you, it’s not temporary. It’s forever.

Loved the story. I feel like Nai left Enzo and Thyri story still a little incomplete tho just like in the first book. However, loved Aura and Danae. That man went to great lengths to remind this lady that SHE BELONGS TO HIM!

I loved this story. Aura & Enzo were patient & intentional MMCs that were about their businesses and their family. They showed up for their women with both grand gestures and even small consistent ones. I also loved the sisterhood between Thyri & Danae. There’s good banter and flow. And the relationships between both couples felt natural and not forced (even though Danae was a runner & track star when it came to Aura🤣).
I do agree with other reviewers that the ending felt a little bit rushed and incomplete. Idk if it’s intentional because the Sullivan story seems to be ongoing (as evidenced by Pryce being the next story) but there’s no epilogue so it feels like the story just stops. Especially for Enzo & Thyri. I’d like to know what’s next for them.
This was an enjoyable read though. Idk if it’s marketed as a standalone but you definitely should read the first book before diving into this one.

Really Enjoyed The Characters
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️.75
The characters and their personalities were really good. The book also has technically 4 main characters and POV’s. The storyline was very enjoyable, but it did feel rushed towards the end. If you would like a short story that gives novella vibes this would be perfect for you!
I would recommend and still would like to read more from this family! 💖

My favorite couples were back at it! Aura can be my man any day because he wasn’t playing about coming after his. I still need more from Enzo and Thyri. 😫 I hope they continue in the next book.

I’m IN LOVE with these Sullivans!
I knew after I read AHGFC that I’d be hooked, but finishing this story definitely confirmed it.
I am HOOKED on this family!
Enzo already had me giggling & kicking my feet. I’m happy for the growth of his & Thyri’s relationship. Their bond is everything. Not only as a couple, but also as a family with KJ & EJ. I’m just so happy for my babies.
Now Aura, I’m in love with his crazy tail self.
Every time Danae thought he eased up on the shenanigans, he always “shenaned again”. 😭 I’m not sure which of his antics was the most shocking, but I sure was entertained. I have quite a few, but one of my fave quotes was:
[“Y’all so used to n-ggas doing the bare minimum that a man stepping in and doing the most is foreign to y’all.”]
Yes Aura! You better talk yo sh-t, Dada! 😜
I really loved his persistence. Give me “Mr. Do the Most” every time! I’m proud of Nae for freeing herself & letting her heart take the lead. My girl is glowing & giggling now. 🤭 I’m excited for their future.
Loved every glimpse of my favorite cousins; Amil, Key, Marli, & my lil homie Cortez. Plus the updates on Poppa D & Aunty Fawn.
I’m also thirsty to read Pryce’s book. I know it’s gonna be a story to tell when he meets his match.. I can already feel his lil quiet self will surprise me.

One thing about them Sullivans, they don’t play about their women and I love that for my girls Thyri, and Danae 🙂↕️🥰…
Aura Sullivan had me cracking up the entire book because why does he play so much? He’s deeply silly but he never takes Danae’s feelings or her heart lightly. While he could be very overbearing at times, it’s understood that he applies so much pressure for good reason and Danae lovesss it no matter how much she might complain lol. Danae was my girl; she’s funny, down to earth and super relatable. I’m glad that in the end she allowed herself to be open to love again and finds happiness with Aura 🤍
Enzo Sullivan is an amazing father, a loving boyfriend to Thyri and he’s deeply loyal. He never hesitates to go above and beyond for the people he cares for the most and that’s what I love about him so much. His good heart is almost enough to make me forget that he’s a cold blooded assassin at night lmaoo. Thyri is such a lovable character; just like Danae, she’s down to earth and easy to root for. I really loved her relationship with her son Kj; she lets him know that she’s not to be played with but she’s also really loving and affectionate with him. And Ej drawing the family picture and referring to Thyri as his mommmm warmed my heart so much. I love their little family! 🥹🥹🥹
Oh and book 3 👀 I’m sooo excited for that!!

Building kingdoms....
As this series develops, each installment is getting better and better. Enzo and Thyri are building a kingdom. They skip the empire. And what started as a work relationship soon blossomed into more. Little EJ, I think, is more fond of Thyri than Enzo is. The blended family is going to give Enzo the opportunity to raise two sons instead of one. The foundation for this Sullivan family is solidifing quickly. In addition, this installment highlighted another couple, Aura and Danae. Aura did not play about his "bae." He was all in as if they had already established a 40-year type of love. He was quite intentional and persistent. He knew what he wanted and wasn't going to stop until he got it. With that being said, I am anticipating this next installment because these Sullivan men aren't to be played with.
Speaking of the next book, I hope there is more of Enzo and Thyri. I feel like they are in the thick of things, and it's more to their story. Since they started it all hopefully they will make a cameo in each installment. Ladies and gents get into it, this series, because you will be hooked after the first book.

juicy loves it
This was a solid follow up and I really enjoyed how it continued the Sullivan world without feeling repetitive. What I liked most was the balance. We still got Enzo and Thyri in a way that felt natural, not forced, and it didn’t take away from Aura and Danae stepping into their own space.
Aura moves with intention. That man knows what he wants and he is not shy about pursuing it. It definitely gave “if he wanted to, he would” energy and I loved that consistency. No confusion. No games. Just grown man focus.
Danae’s backstory added depth and made her reactions make sense. I appreciated that it wasn’t over the top or dramatic for no reason. The pacing felt steady and mature. Nothing dragged. Nothing felt rushed.
It gave sweetness without being corny. It gave tension without being messy. It just felt balanced. A continuation done right.
Juicy Reads approves.

Book Review: Keep Me in Mind by NAI
I enjoyed Keep Me in Mind, but I’m not going to lie — I wanted more. I needed more Enzo and Thyri. Their connection was good, but it just wasn’t enough for me. I felt like their story had so much more depth that could’ve been explored.
Now let’s talk about the Sullivan men — baby, they stood on BUSINESS when it came to their women! I absolutely loved that. Protective, solid, and not playing about their ladies? Yes please.
Aura was a whole nut case in the best way. His antics had me laughing because you really never knew what he was about to do next.
One of my favorite parts was watching Danae and Thyri open their hearts to love again. Seeing them heal, grow, and allow themselves to be vulnerable was beautiful to watch.
Overall, this was a good read. I just wish we had gotten more of Enzo and Thyri’s story because I definitely wasn’t ready to let them go.

Ok ok ok so we pick up after the holidays with Enzo & Thyri..
First let me start by saying kudos to the authors for bringing the chapter titles.. I didn’t know how much I missed this until late last year, so seeing them here made me really happy..
With that being said I loved how intentional the Sullavin men are and thy were not on any games, they knew exactly what they wanted and was prepared to go after that full force without any childish games.
Aura was set on Danae and although his form of chasing was a bit questionable he did not play about her.
Overall this was a cute story, but I did feel the ending was rushed and Enzo story just ended. Not sure If more installments are coming but I am labeling this one as a cute fluffy Valentine’s Day short… Not much plot here, but the vibes were definitely there.

They were all so cute. Danae was about to piss me off because, bish, you better have given Aura a chance. That man loved the ground she walked on. Then Enzo and Thyri… they have such a beautiful family dynamic. Enzo is so respectful and knows where to draw the line when it comes to Thyri, her son Kaleb, and his father. Enzo always bowed out and stayed out of their business. He was available, but he never tried to overstep.
Omg, the men were wonderful. Ladies, if you need a break and want a cute story with vulnerable men who still don’t play games, this is it. These were alpha men who lead. I also loved the message about a single woman raising a teenage son. Yes, his dad is there and she has Enzo, but she still has to carry a lot when they aren’t around.

Keep Aura In Mind
So…Yeah, Aura is my new book bae and he can get it whenever. I know he taken and he is all for Danae, but its worth a try…right? Naw just kidding, Aura only has eyes for Danae. I love how their relationship started and is still going strong with a bright future. I do kind of felt like Enzo and Thyri’s story is incomplete from what I read in the first book, I would have loved a full breakdown from beginning to end with just them.
Anywho, I loved this book and I was so mad when it all was over. I want more of these couples because their story is not complete in my book. NAI, Mrs. Author Lady, i need more of these couples expeditiously, please and thank you.

What You Won’t Do for Love
Hmmm, just as I suspected, the Anderson ladies & Sullivan men from “A Hitman’s Gift for Christmas” are back with a laser mission as their shenanigans continues 🤭‼️ Meanwhile, “Keep Me In Mind (The Sullivan Family) - Book 2” was still entertaining & comical. However, readers witnessed the irrational obsession & justification with a particular love interest 🤦🏾♀️ (although demonstrated psychotic tendencies), somehow the banter was endearing & harmless for most 👀😬🫣🤷🏾♀️🤣‼️My goodness, thank for the reminder Mr. Bobby Caldwell 🎶 (circa 1978 )🎶 “what you won’t do for love”….”you tried everything but you won’t give up”. Now that’s prophetic 🤭👀💞…”no fool, no fun”‼️

I love me some Aura!
That’s it; that’s the review!
lol no, but foreal, Aura was EVERYTHING! He knew what he wanted, didn’t care what she was in, or coming out of, he kept showing up! To have his grandma pray for her, whew; he’s going to love her so good! Definitely fresh air!
And we can’t forget about Thyri and Enzo. They are the cutest, and I love their makeshift family.
Can’t wait for more from the Sullivan’s.

This was a good follow up to the Christmas story that introduced to Sullivan family. I love the progression of the couples one being easy and free flowing. The other came with a bit of tension. Aura is a good example of being persistent and intentional, as opposed to persistent and annoying. The story flowed well. The characters were interesting and I would recommend it..

Great Read
I’m so glad Danae finally gave in because Aura was that dude. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this Sullivan crew. I’m loving the progress between Enzo and Thyri as well.

I had been waiting for the completion of Thyri and Enzo's story. The first book was so good! While i still enjoyed book 2 their story to me still seemed incomplete. Denae and Aura story was a good read.

okay
“You show up in ways I didn’t ask for. And even when I push you away, you still find a way to fit into my life.” Solid read. I wish there was closure on Thyri and Enzo.

Uhh, I mean all was going well then it ended abruptly??? 🥴 maybe we’ll hear about Thyri & Enzo in the next book? …
