Bonnie Drummond has always tried so hard to keep her life straight despite being born on the proverbial wrong side of the tracks. When her father and brother, who are not always on the side of the good guys, disappear after strangers come to their home, Bonnie asks for help to find them. Little did she know she would quickly become the obsession of an enforcer for a New Orleans Bratva family. Roman Kozlov tells everyone that Bonnie is MINE TO KEEP within moments of meeting her.
Despite her fear of being out of sync with the people she has asked to help her, she finds she really does fit in. These people might be wealthy, considered dangerous, and maybe slightly illegal, but they feel like family. Now if she can just get out of her own head long enough to follow her heart she could have everything she ever dreamed of.
MINE TO KEEP is an amazing adventure ride with a number of unexpected twists, laughter, and just a few tears. I loved Bonnie, who really is trying to do the right things in her life but she couldn't turn her back on her father, who has liver cancer, and a brother who is always after the fast, easy buck. It is he who gets her into the worrying situation she finds herself. Roman is a bit of a mystery man and some of his past is delved into but still much of him is a mystery. But his attraction and growing love for Bonnie make for a very impressive read. He understood her better than she understood herself because he had felt the same things. Readers will get to watch as little by little he is able to draw her out, find out what she wants to do with her life, and give it to her.
Bonnie had made friends, though she really did try not to, with Cassie (Hers to Tame) who is married to Kir. He is second to the Vor (or boss) of the Bratva, Sergei, who is married to Evette (His to Defend), and their son Emerson, who is a real sweetheart. For readers who are fans of author Rhenna Morgan's Nola Knights series, you will recognize these characters and get a chance to catch up with them as they help Bonnie realize her worth. They all draw her in, giving her the acceptance that she tried to pretend she didn't need or want. The danger to her is a heart-pounding rush and when the bad guys manage to get her, Roman is ready to destroy everything he sees. What follows is the part that will most likely bring you to tears, but I cannot put in a spoiler, so get your hands on MINE TO KEEP and found out what happens to Bonnie.
Bonnie Drummond is from the wrong side of the tracks, raised in a family of liars and criminals. No matter how hard she tries to stay on the straight and narrow, she always finds herself sucked back into the family drama, forced to sacrifice everything she’s earned to protect her family.
But this time they’ve gone too far—crossed the wrong people—and to save them she’ll have to put her life on the line.
Roman Kozlov, enforcer for a New Orleans mafiya family, is the poster child for the life Bonnie is struggling to escape. But he’s also as alluring as he is dangerous, and it doesn’t take long for their lives to begin to mesh.
With Roman, Bonnie finds the family she never had.
As their race for answers heats up, so too does the budding romance between them. And with danger nipping at her heels and love threatening her heart, Bonnie must come face-to-face with her past if she wants to have a future.
