About this listen

Brant Harkrader is done living by other peoples’ rules. He may not know exactly what he wants out of life, but he’s perfectly happy letting that question figure itself out while starting a new job as a tour guide.

Too bad the one thing he does want—his sister’s BFF—only sees him as a little brother.

Or so he thinks…

Kellan Shelby-Briggs has never shied away from going after what he wants. And what he wants is the important contract that will put his brand new company on the map—and Brant.

Too bad Kellan’s career keeps yanking him away just as things heat up between them.

Now that Brant is back in town—up close and personal in Kell's living space—can they finally get the timing right to go after the love that has eluded them both for too long?

It was a good book and a cute love story.

The story was great and it was well written. I'm happy that I read the book!

Audio review April 25 - 2022

I liked this book more on audio. I did´t think it was to much descriptions and I loved Michael Franklin as a narrator.

Cute and sweet

I absolutely loved Kellan and Brandt.
Both have secretly been in love with each other for years, neither one acting on it for fear of ruining a great friendship.
When Brandt finds himself back home and in need of a place to crash, Kellan
quickly offers his home as an option instead of Brandt's sister's Wendy's place which is already full and very busy.
Both come across very comedically as very oblivious to each other's romantic advancements but luckily they get on the same page.
Poor Brandt has really suffered through some horrible things with his family.
I loved how fiercely protective, devoted and supportive Killian was of Brandt while also being a safe space for him to grow and develop his own strength and independence.
These two were such great characters but together they were even better and stronger.
They were completely realistic and I truly appreciated how they communicated and worked through their issues as adults.
Michael Franklin did an amazing job of narrating and bringing these characters to life.

Sweet, slow burn, low angst romance

Keeping Kellan sees Brant Harkraker move back to his home town and gratefully accept an invitation from his sister's best friend, Kellan, to stay with him instead of his sister, her husband and three young children. They have the chance to build on the friendship that truly started to grow a few years ago even though they've known each other since Brandt was young. Both men are working towards a better future for themselves, Brandt having left a toxic work environment and Kellan having just started his own business. It gives them an understanding of each others work ethic, sometimes to the extreme, something they don't necessarily get from others. Their attraction is there from the start of the story and simmers quietly in the background until the have the confidence to move their friendship in a different direction.
I really enjoyed these two characters. There is a real ease in the way that they get along and spend time together as though it's no effort at all. They're very strong willed in what they want but have learned to protect themselves after harmful behaviour from others in their past. Brandt's bully continues to cause trouble and affects relationships with others. What makes Kellan different is how quickly and staunchly he comes to Brandt's defence but at the same time doesn't take away the independence that Brandt has fought to gain over the past few years.
Overall, this is a great friends to lovers romance, it was so easy for me to get into and enjoy. There's a good cast of characters along the way, including some met in book one of this series so it was nice to get to interact with them again. Definitely another recommended read from this author.
Michael Franklin does another good job in narrating this series. One thing I would prefer is a little more difference in the voices given to the MC's so that I can tell them apart easier but I found it an easy story to listen to.

Sweet and easy romance

The characters were OK and the general plot was alright but for me this was kinda disappointing. The pace moved way too slow. Like glaciel. The focus was largely on their jobs and the relationship just seemed to take a backseat. Even once they got together, which was a long wait, it still was way overshadowed by everything else going on. Also, too much fade to black and off book mentions of romance which the plot definitely could have used more of. I was more intrigued by the scenery being a fellow Canadian and the cute dog so that's probably not what the author was aiming for. I didn't hate it but I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Great narration. He had a pleasant reading voice, expressed the emotions well and I could easily tell the characters apart, making it a great listening experience.

Book one was better.

I will start by saying that the story was a lovely, light read which I did enjoy.
The storyline wasn’t particularly complex or fleshed out, and was fairly predictable throughout. I didn’t get much of a feel for most of the side characters as they were quite one dimensional.
However, the narrator was not great at all. The style was choppy and monotonous. I have listened to older audiobooks with a similar type of narrator, so I was able to persevere to the end (barely).

A light read but …
