Keeper by Surprise Book Review

Synopsis:

Life changes forever for Keith Hanson when his parents’ will declares him guardian over his three younger siblings. His new responsibilities are challenging, but he’s even less prepared to fall in love with Lisa Carle, a social worker with a devastating secret.

Excerpt:

And later in that same scene where she discovers who he is:

“Hi, is there something I could do for you?”

Boy, was that a loaded question. To Lisa’s dismay, the mere sound of his voice caused a double-shot of female hormones to take a dive into her groin. It was deep and gravely, but polite. A touch innocent. She’d love to let his voice lap over her like ocean waves for hours at a time. She cleared her throat and attempted, probably failing miserably, a cool nonchalance. “Oh, don’t let me interrupt you. I’m here on business.” She commenced her determined trek to the front door.

He took a few steps toward her, then stopped. “I’m sorry? Who is it exactly that you’re looking for?”

She looked at him over her shoulder. He was gazing intently at her, his head cocked slightly to one side. “Uh,” she started, forgetting her name for a moment under the intense stare of those gorgeous … green! … eyes. Who would’ve figured him for green eyes?

He tore his gaze away from her and started looking around. He backed up a few steps to a piece of white fabric lying nearby in the lawn. He picked it up and Lisa saw it was a shirt. He slipped it on effortlessly, while she mourned the sudden and quite unexpected loss of her view of that spectacular chest.

He approached her then and continued his curious inspection of her. Lisa cleared her throat. God, she had to pull it together here. She was working, and she needed to continue to function, even in the presence of this hunk. “I’m here to see Keith. Keith Hanson.”

To her surprise, he smiled, his face lighting for a moment, like a lamp would brighten a dark room. “I’m Keith Hanson.”

My Review:

I enjoyed Keeper by Surprise. Keith’s parents came to college to see him as King for the big dance and to met his girl friend. On the way home there was an accident killing both of his parents. Keith’s parents left him guardian over his 7 year old twins and his 14 year old sister Dana, who blamed Keith for their parents death. What a story 20 years old and left to care for three younger siblings. What a life changer. Dana was very difficult and the twins worried Keith would leave them. I think you will love the story - Keith has many challenges and then meets Lisa the social work. Does Keith act on his feelings for Lisa? Does Keith get Dana under control? You will want to read Keeper by Surprise to find out.
