Keep Me by Sara Cate
4.25
A New Yorker in need of funds moves to Scotland for a one-year marriage of convenience to a grumpy Scot.
There’s more to it than that, but TL;DR: She needs money. His family has money. His family wants him out of the house and his—and, by extension, their—reputation restored. (Our main man Killian has a reputation for holding *ahem* parties at the manor. 👀)
You know what, y’all? These two hate—and I mean HATE—each other. Oof. Granted neither of them is the outwardly warm and fuzzy type, but they’re flinging names at each other and want nothing to do with each other.
BUT forced proximity works its magic. (Oh gosh, I sure do love when forced proximity works its magic.) And, as it turns out, Killian and Sylvie end up having gooey centers for each other.
Are there some proclivities in this one that are not my jam? Sure, but I’m not going to rain on anyone else’s spicy parade.
At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Scottish setting (There are kilts, my friends.)
- Marriage of convenience
- Enemies to lovers
- Forced proximity
- Billionaire romance
- Caretaking
- Grief + mental health
- Things get hot in herre. (Yes, I did mean to spell it like that. Alexa, play Nelly.)
I listened to this one on audio, and Kelli Tager and Will Watt do a great job bringing this one to life. I wish it had been duet narration instead of dual—because I love Will Watt’s Scottish brogue—but I still really enjoyed the narration overall.
I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Dreamscape Media. All review opinions are my own.
