HIS TO KEEP is Book 3 in Terri L. Austin's Beauty and
the Brit series about hot British guys with lots of
cash
and confidence to spare. Mild-mannered Brynn Campbell
and wealthy businessman Iain Chapman wouldn't normally be
thought of as well-matched, but the chemistry between
them in HIS TO KEEP goes nuclear. While it may seem as
though they don't have much in common, as HIS TO KEEP
progresses, they prove how well they complement each
other and want the same things.
Sparks fly the moment Brynn and Iain first meet. I like
Iain's more mercenary reasons for initially wanting
to pursue Brynn almost immediately fall by the wayside
after meeting her, and his attraction leaves him a little
gobsmacked. I love romances in which the hero steadfastly
and ardently pursues the heroine, and HIS TO KEEP
definitely falls into that category. There are plenty of
spicy and extra sexy encounters—especially with
Brynn's
need to feel dominated in the bedroom and Iain's way of
happily obliging her. I can definitely relate to Iain's
low tolerance for the inconsequential minutiae that has a
way of cluttering up our lives, but it's also highly
amusing witnessing his frustration with people.
Iain Chapman is most definitely not a people person and
his way of expressing himself is often very blunt.
However, in spite of his lack of social skills, I like
him, and I like him as a match for Brynn. I love how Iain
and Brynn bring out the best in each other and give each
other what they need the most. Iain provides Brynn with a
previously unexperienced level of sexual fulfillment, and
he helps her be more assertive in life. Brynn brings Iain
a kind of peace and a little self-awareness. I love the
use of supporting characters in HIS TO KEEP. Iain's
friends Marc and Amelia and Amelia's son Tyler make Iain
more sympathetic and human. The relationships Brynn
has with friends, family, and co-workers typify her
tendency to avoid confrontation. Like with the best
romances, I love how Iain and Brynn make each other
stronger and spur positive life changes.
HIS TO KEEP is a scorching romance in a thoroughly
addictive series. Terri L. Austin balances the emotional
heavy-lifting with the fun sexiness. The conclusion to
HIS TO KEEP fits the characters and is satisfying for
readers. I look forward to the next red hot romance by
Terri L. Austin.
Iain wasn't just rough around the edges-he was
uncivilized, despite all the elegant trappings and expensive
suits. And Brynn wanted more of it. She wanted Iain in
full-on barbarian mode. She wanted to be taken.
Filthy rich British bad boy Iain Chapman made a name for
himself as a ruthless businessman, but if he can secure an
investment from Vegas powerhouse Trevor Blake, Iain could
take his business to the next level. Solution? Hire
beautifully timid corporate trainer-and Trevor's
sister-in-law-Brynn Campbell and seduce his way to success.
Brynn's everything Iain is not: kind, delicate, decent. But
she's also got a taste for something a little beastly, and
it doesn't take long for Iain to break through her every
inhibition. Brynn was supposed to be his pawn, but as Iain
gets closer to his goal, he begins to realize he's not ready
to let her go, not now, not ever-even if it costs him
everything.
