Reunited at last, Ryan Johnston and Daniel Miller are ready to begin their happily-ever-after. Unfortunately, the same people responsible for their four-year separation are at it again.

For those who were awaiting Serena Yates’ sequel for To Find and to Keep, the wait is over. She begins this compelling story the day after Ryan’s twin sister’s wedding. Ryan’s character really knows how to pull on the old heartstrings. It was hard not to feel his hurt and anguish throughout the story. I would love to combine Daniel’s characteristics into a very straight and available man. Handsome, loving, protective, an excellent cook and businessman, topped off with a healthy libido. What person wouldn’t want him by their side or in their bed? I’ll admit this story is quite a tear jerker. Ms. Yates adds fantastic backdrops and believable characters, with a giant dollop of drama. If you want beefy men, who are on testosterone-overload, then this may not be the story for you. However, if you enjoy a good emotional rollercoaster ride, you should pick up a copy of To Keep and to Love.

Ms. Minx,
You captured so well all the magnificent points in "To Keep and to Love".
There were several tremendous highs and definitely a few stress filled lows.
However, the incredibly supportive families and co-workers along with some amazingly amusing yet totally charming friends painted a magnificent picture.
I so adored this entire story.

J. Johnson, it would have been hard to see the couple triumph without support of those who loved them. I’m happy I had an opportunity to review this sequel.
