Ladies stop right here and take a look at an amazing, emotional, erotic romance novel with the most dreamiest (is that a word?) man you will ever read about! I am so in love with Logan Harrington, it's not even funny. I want to scream it out loud for the world to hear how much I love him and how amazing he is! He's perfect!Brother's Keeper reminded me of the Breathing Series by Rebecca Donovan. If you have read the Breathing series and enjoyed it just as much I did then this book is for you. Brother's Keeper is very similar in the sense that a high school student is being physically abused by her guardian, has an amazing best friend, and a dreamy boy come to her rescue and save her in every way possible. That is where the similarities stop and Brother's Keeper takes on a world of its own with a much more MATURE tone.Rowan is a 17 year-old senior with a dancing scholarship to a big university for the fall. She just has to survive living with her physically abusive, alcoholic father for 6 more months. Sara Harrington is Rowan's best friend since they were 10 years-old. The Harrington's are a special family who take Rowan in as their own and let her stay with them whenever she needs to get away from her father. Holidays, birthdays, vacations, the Harrington's include Rowan in as if she was really part of their family. I adored them :) Logan.... Yummy Logan... is Sara's older brother. At 25 he is about to graduate from law school and live his dream of being a lawyer at a prestigious law firm in Denver. One late night everything changes after Rowan suffers a brutal attack by her drunken father. Rowan calls her best friend to rescue her from a gas station but Logan answers the phone and rescues Rowan at 2 am. Logan makes a deal with Rowan to keep her secret and keep her safe at the same time. The two begin a secretive friendship that develops into much, much more.Oh wow, I did not even know scenes where two people DO NOT have sex could be so erotic and hot. Logan and Rowan had the most erotic scenes possible without going all the way. Their relationship was so innocent yet sexy all in one. I just adored everything about them together. Logan is such a good man with a gigantic heart. He felt so guilty about their relationship and his feelings for her, I just wanted them both to admit how they feel and go for it. Their moments together were so sweet and tender. I just cherished each scene and did not want it to end. I seriously NEED a Logan in my life, he is just amazing, amazing is all I can describe for him because he is amazing! I was cheering for Rowan and Logan the entire book and some scenes took my breath away with how special they were. I felt like I was living this sweet romance right along with Rowan. I was on total suspense while reading Brother's Keeper the entire time, I just didn't know if Logan and Rowan would have their happy ending or not. They both had goals and dreams that were keeping them apart along with other things and I just couldn't go on with life if these two did not get their happy ending. I loved not knowing what will come at the end, it made it the novel even more special to me.One thing some readers may not like is there is not much dialogue between characters. It's more like a story you are reading then actual "scenes" with dialogue if that makes sense. I personally did not mind it and fit perfect for this type of story. With the book being in both Rowan and Logan's POV I knew how they felt and what they were thinking and long dialogue conversations were not necessary but I could understand why some readers may want more dialogue in a book.Brother's Keeper is an emotional book that made me cry, made me laugh, and made me hot with the steamiest non-sex love scenes possible! Wowzers were they hot! I was crying reading the Epilogue because it was just so perfect. This is one of my favorite reads of 2013 and I would recommend it to any reader who enjoyed the Breathing Series.Elizabeth Finn, you have gained a big fan and I am so excited to read more of your work.I give Brother's Keeper 5 stars.
