After the delicious push and pull between Stefan and Jennifer in the last two books, I was absolutely dying to get my grabby little hands on their book. But I was also hoping for two things from this book; a grovel from Stefan, and for Jennifer to grow a little more. Jennifer has always been incredibly open in her desire for Stefan, that at times I almost felt like she made it too easy for him.

After the delicious push and pull between Stefan and Jennifer in the last two books, I was absolutely dying to get my grabby little hands on their book. But I was also hoping for two things from this book; a grovel from Stefan, and for Jennifer to grow a little more. Jennifer has always been incredibly open in her desire for Stefan, that at times I almost felt like she made it too easy for him.

And while I did spend a large chunk of this book wanting to punch Stefan in the eye and shake him until he sees reason, I'm happy to report that I absolutely LOVED Jennifer.

These are both incredibly multi-layered characters. But while Jennifer doesn't let her past dictate her future, Stefan uses his as a crutch and his answer of why he can never be with Jennifer. Considering he spends the entire book thinking that her age makes her not know her own mind because of the demons of his past, it was an exercise in frustration to say the least. And while a part of me gets it, another part of me wanted to slap him. Continuously.

There's a suspense plot that runs parallel to the romance that adds a much needed edge and entertainment factor. With the Russian mafia after Jennifer for a painting that may be in her possession, there's a character that's introduced that I absolutely fell in love with. Alexei Markov, with his gentle soul, violent past and broken english absolutely stole my heart. I cannot wait for his book. The set up is AMAZING!

As for this book, while I did spend a good part of it frustrated with Stefan's inability to see reason, I still enjoyed it. Admittedly, I was kind of expecting an uber Dom with him, but what I got was slightly different. I can't say I'm complaining, though. This is a man that's not perfect, has faults, and is not afraid to admit to them by the end. I did wish he groveled a bit more, but I was still satisfied with how things wrapped up. Jennifer was the perfect balance. I appreciated her strength and her will to fight for him even when he gave her every reason not to.

All in all, another wonderful addition to the series and as always, I can't wait for more!

One to Keep is still full of the quirky characters set in the town of Bliss. We get Stefan and Jen's story who have been side characters in books 1 and 2. Stef has played a big part in getting our couples together in both books 1 and 2. In fact, he is a big reason why the town of Bliss is so successful. He's great with seeing what others need, just not good at what he needs. This book was good but I hated to see Stef constantly push away Jen because he felt she was too young to make up her ow...

He's great with seeing what others need, just not good at what he needs. This book was good but I hated to see Stef constantly push away Jen because he felt she was too young to make up her own mind about them. The author did a great job of explaining why Stef felt the way he did and what really drove him to keep Jen at a distance, but unfortunately it's my least favorite type of romance. I still very much enjoyed everything else that was going on in Bliss. This town is full of some strange characters and I like them.

“Give me your mouth.”

The second go-round was just as good guys! If not, maybe even better! One to Keep by Lexi Blake is book three in her Nights in Bliss, Colorado series and has been re-released in a second edition with some brand new content! I’ve always loved the dynamic between Stef and Jen. It’s heartbreaking by the fact that Stef refuses to give more to Jen because of their age difference and experience.

The second go-round was just as good guys! If not, maybe even better! One to Keep by Lexi Blake is book three in her Nights in Bliss, Colorado series and has been re-released in a second edition with some brand new content! I’ve always loved the dynamic between Stef and Jen. It’s heartbreaking by the fact that Stef refuses to give more to Jen because of their age difference and experience. It’s sassy and feisty in the way that Jen isn’t afraid to speak her mind and give Stef exactly what he deserves. It’s sweet and swoony when Stef eventually caves, and it’s intense, passionate, and oh so sexy when they finally give in to their desires. These two are probably one of my all time favorite couples out of this amazing series!

It doesn’t matter if this is your second read through of the book or if you are brand new to the series…One to Keep has something for everyone who loves their romance a little on the kinky side. If you are a fan of BDSM romances full of emotion, humor, and wit, look no further. Lexi Blake has given us all that and more with this series! Fans, old and new, sit back, relax, and get ready to scream at Stefan Talbot through your kindles! Happy Reading!
