This couple had really great chemistry. Aaron's long awaited chance with Marcy was steamy! A quick read, sure to entertain any reader.

His to Keep is a quick little novella that has all the right fluff in all the right places. Aaron and Marceline have always wanted each other and one night they get just that. However, Marceline doesn’t want her heart broken like it was before so she pushes Aaron away and asks for just a week together, nothing more and nothing less. It’s a good think Aaron knows what he wants and continues to go after her.
What you get in this book is mostly Aaron and Marcy; you hardly read about Marcy’s daughter or anyone else really. Granted other characters make appearances but the main focus is on the two main characters and you get absorbed into their lives.

It's hard to say a hot cop willing to bang his lady against a wall is a cute story, but this one was. There was just something about Aaron and Marcy that had that "aww" factor, even when they were getting dirty in the janitor's closet.
Marcy had pretty much sworn off men, after her boyfriend left her pregnant and alone while in college. Now the center of her universe is her three year old daughter. But things take a turn for Marcy at her good friend's engagement party, when a few shots, a drunken dance and one angry best friend's brother has her engaging activity not normally known to this elementary school teacher. Aaron Robinson has had a thing for Marcy since she was seventeen. Back then, he thought their five year age difference was too much. But now he's decided it's time to step up and go after what he wants....Marcy, no matter what.
This was a really quick read, but in Katee Roberts style, her uniformed men have dirty mouths and don't quit when they set their sights on a woman. Despite what Marcy may have been saying out loud, Aaron seemed to be able to read her and know when he could push. She fought their relationship at first, with the exception of the hot sex...that she didn't have an issue with, but I could appreciate putting the happiness of her daughter in front of her own. They worked through their commitment issue pretty quickly and were able to find their HEA.
Definitely one of read if you're looking for something hot and only have an hour or so to read it.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this relationship develop! Aaron & Marceline (love that name!) started out hot with sexy chemistry. I liked that Aaron knew Marcy was the one for him & made it a priority to involve himself in her life. The fact that he knew he'd have to tread carefully, so as not to hurt her daughter, earned him extra brownie points!
My favorite lines:
"The only mistake you made was thinking I'd let you walk out of here with another man." Challenge issued & accepted! What a way to start the story!
"So, yeah, I'm not going to play the coy dating game bullshit when it comes to you." Just like that, his intentions were known! Finally, she realizes that he's offering her everything.
This was another read-it-all-at-once book for me. I lvoe the Entangled Brazen line. Katee Robert's story had everything I've come to expect. Honest, sometimes raw, emotions & a sexy story with fantastic characters.

His to Keep by Katee Robert was a solid 3 stars for me. There were some good parts and some things that bothered me. First, the things I liked – the characters were solid. It is always tough to develop characters enough in a novella but I thought Robert did a solid job of getting me interested in these characters and their stories.
Marcy and Aaron have been dancing around each other since she was seventeen and he consciously made the decision to leave before things went anywhere. When Aaron came back, Marcy was already dealing with a guy who treated her poorly and eventually leaves her when she is pregnant. Now Marcy is a single mother and rarely does anything that isn’t for her daughter. As Aaron watches her from across the bar they are at in celebration of their friend’s engagement, he decides he doesn’t want to avoid her anymore and makes a move.
This is where the relationship takes a few steps forward…although it isn’t really a relationship. They end up having sex in the alley behind the bar and then Marcy runs away. As Aaron gets her to realize he isn’t going to just give up on her, Marcy decides to take a chance which leads to the HEA ending.
There was one major thing that bothered me in this story and that was the author’s decision to make Aaron’s sister’s name Erin. It seemed a bit ridiculous and I can’t imagine any parents ever doing that to their kids. Minor detail as Erin doesn’t play a huge role in this story but still, weird.
Overall, this was a good story with some solid characters. If you are looking for a quick romance to read, definitely check this one out.
