Ms. Robert’ has done it again with a well crafted story that just lingers on the palete like a fine wine or a perfect piece of decadent chocolate.  My only quibble with this, and it is minor, is the length of the story.  I so wanted 20 or so more pages to savor this connection between Marcy and Aaron but the story is complete and well thought out as it is.The premise is what many woman in today’s world are dealing with: single parenthood and the struggles associated with this break in a relationship whether through divorce or one of the partners deciding that there is a greater world that they still want to explore.  I felt for Marcy but understood her longing to control her world and protect her daughter from the harshness of life.However the concerned friends that egg her into having a social life still make me smile.  The scene in the bar where she is basically the stick-in-the-mud character cracks me up.  I don’t know about you but I’ve seen this play out in real life and unfortunately I didn’t get to see the drop dead gorgeous Aaron Robinson come into save the day.  And more is the pity.The longing and control that Aaron had maintained for so long from his sister’s best friend is noble and sexy.  The skill which Ms. Robert tells this story is one part magician and other part romance-whisper.  Which is one of the reasons I watch out for any news on her latest books because I can’t help but feel her writing and truly get into the head of her characters.There is one scene in the school that is just “Whoa, Baby!”  It does make you look at all those locked doors differently or maybe that is just me.The fact that we didn’t have to go through the break up with Marcy’s ex, I’m supremely thrilled with.  All of us readers know how hard a break up can be and I’m thrilled that I didn’t have to experience that as well in this book.This book is perfect for those long lunches or a relaxing afternoon by the water but make sure you have a cool drink handy because the romance and sex are as note worthy as the rest of the story.Final Thoughts:  Just go buy this book!Entangled Publishing provided me with a copy of His to Keep but nothing else was exchanged for my honest review.
