Keeper by Amy Daws
5.0
Keeper picks up with the Harris brother’s stories with Booker, the youngest of the 5 Harris siblings. At this point, I can say though it wasn’t my favorite of the series (I’m really enjoying Gareth’s story), this is a super sweet romance that was very enjoyable in audio. The entire series is spectacular in audio. It lacked the humor of the first two books and doesn’t have the touch of the forbidden and suspense that Gareth’s story does. However, it is a very sweet and often steamy story about childhood best friends getting a second chance with a close proximity storyline.
Booker and Poppy were childhood best friends, meeting when both needed someone who understood them. Everything was good until Poppy leaves for university in Germany and they drifted apart. Meanwhile, Booker has become one of the best goalies in his league. Out of the blue, Poppy returns and is back in Booker’s life. With a brand new flat all to himself and Poppy needing somewhere to stay until her flat is available, Booker invites Poppy to stay. She isn’t the same girl she was and she has secrets. And Booker has long guarded his heart from love, but with his best friend so close, it’s not long before they each realize they need the other.
I can’t say enough about how much I love the audio of this series. In duet narration, Will Watts and Charlotte Cole give amazing performances that bring all the humor, angst, and drama of the Harris family to life. Their performances are consistent between all the books, even with the nuances of the voices they give to each character from one book to the next. I don’t think I would enjoy these stories half as much written because the audio is just that good. Booker and Poppy’s story is an excellent addition to the series, even if it’s not my favorite of the bunch. Each story is different and so good, but for me, it’s hard to top the shenanigans of the twins' stories. I dove right into Gareth’s story and will be so sad when this series is over.
