Finders Keepers by Radclyffe
4.0

This was another wonderful, sweet story from Radclyffe that was perfect for a light summer read. I have a special affinity for Radclyffe’s stories because she was one of the very first queer authors I found. I’ve always been an avid romance reader and finding Radclyffe’s stories was a special time in my life. I just LOVE her Rivers series and this is a wonderful addition to the series.
I enjoy seeing the other Rivers characters and getting glimpses of how their lives and love has continued to grow. Roman Ashcroft is a wonderful addition to the Rivers world. I really adored her character's integrity, courage, and humility. A woman from Rome’s past, Tally Dewilde, is gripped by her past and her wealthy family. Running into Rome has Tally’s world flipped upside down and questioning the past she thought she knew.
I would have liked to have seen more development in their relationship. I felt like some of their interactions could have been a little bit deeper. I had a little challenge with how quickly they fell for each other when the bulk of the book, there was tension and intentional avoidance. I would have liked to see a little more of what drew them to each other but overall I really enjoyed the story.

I really hope Blake will get a story in the future. Again, I just love the whole Rivers community and really enjoy each installment of this series. Radclyffe will always be an author I know will deliver great stories with wonderful, strong female characters.

Thank you to Radclyffe, Bold Stroke Books, and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
