My Soul To Keep is a friends to lovers story with a slow building romance. It is one of those vooks that makes you fall in love, in love with the characters, in love with the story, and in love with love. Kai is pursuing her dream of becoming a star on her own terms, which do not include becoming involved with piano prodigy superstar Rhyson. Kai has a strength in her that I admire, and Rhyson made me love him so I can see why Kai couldn't resist him.

i started this series after Grip (the story of Grip/Marlon and Brisol) so i do know what happens at the very end, but i has no idea that this would happen at the end of this book! i had no idea __ would do THAT omg
good series, not anything groundbreaking like Grip was to me, but pretty enjoyable.

There was lots of blogger noise about this book prior to release day - and guess what? They got it so right. This is a great read.
Immediately I bonded with Kai. The book starts with the death of Kai's beloved and adored mum from a wasting disease. My mum had early onset dementia; I felt Kai's pain as her mum withered before her eyes. Everything in the book shows Mai as a perfect mum. Doting. Caring. Devoted. Full of energy. Full of life.
Kai is the girl we all want to be. She is beautiful without knowing and beyond talented. The moment Kai meets Rhyson crackles with electricity. It is so well written, the rest of the world really does fall away when their eyes meet.
The flirting, romancing, seducing builds along with the plot. And yes! Fist bump - it has a plot! A great one at that. Uncle Grady, San, Auntie Ruthie, Grip - I applaud the supporting cast. Boo and hiss to the villains. Bristol, needs to jog on.
If I could bottle a beautiful scene and take a big happy sniff of it on dull days to cheer me up, it would be Christmas Day at Glory Falls Church. Everything made me smile. Perfection and love on a page.
My favourite quotes:
"This disease has pressed her like a flower between pages."
"My body, my heart, and my soul twist around one another, a three stranded nerve waiting for his touch, his words, his attention."
"She's like the eye of the storm. Chaos all around, but right here, in her arms, at the centre, peace."
"Unreasonable, undeniable peace. I grip her tightly like my lungs grip air, because for the first time since my mother called, I can finally breathe."
"She has no idea how much power she has over me. I'm the famous one. The rich one. The one who has nothing left to prove, but she holds every card. Especially the ones with hearts."
"It may not be visible to the naked eye, but he's written a song on my heart tonight, and I'm afraid the ink's indelible."
"And there, with only our hearts as witnesses, our bodies make a vow that our souls will keep."
I absolutely cannot wait for the next adventure. I will miss my Rhyson and Pep so much until then.

Having met Rhyson and Kai in the Grip trilogy, it was so nice to be able to go back and get their story. I thought this was really solid - both our MCs had moments of being complete dummies but it sure was easy to see their connection and passion. Kennedy's writing always leaves an impression on me and this book was no different.

A solid 3.5 read for a new adult romance. I swear, most of the drama these two had/have could have been avoided if they just TALKED to each other.
My Soul to Keep (Soul, #1) by Kennedy Ryan (2020/12/27)
Rating 4/5 Stars
Disclaimer: All thoughts and opinions are my own
My Soul to Keep is book 1 in the Soul series and cannot be read as a stand-alone.
This story follows Rhyson Gray who is a Rockstar. He lives and breathes music. Kai has only two things on her mind, her mother and music. When Rhyson meets Kai, he knows he shouldn't go after her, but he does anyway.
I really enjoyed this novel. I loved how Kai and Rhyson formed this amazing friendship which then later on gets turned into a relationship. I loved how funny this novel was, but it also had some really sweet moments. I also loved how music was a prevalent theme through the story and how emotional it was. I really liked how strong and independent Kai was. I loved how she stood her ground when she disagreed with Rhyson.
Overall, I really liked this book and cannot wait to read the rest of the books in this series.

Maybe I’m unfeminist but I hate when the FMC doesn’t want her man to help. You’re not stronger doing it on your own, in fact your just dumber. Also I read the Grip trilogy before this and I’m firmly team Bristol in whatever weird sibling dispute is happening so Rhys not fully trusting her is a big NO for me
