Review: Keeper:  More an Installment than a Novel
Rating: 2 out of 5

There are quite a few things that are good about this story.  I will assume the target audience for this trilogy is probably the same age as the main characters, who are in their early 20s.  Bearing that in mind, the characters are entertaining, if a little shallow.  The writing is repetitive, but the writing style itself is unoffensive.  The problem with this story is, it isn't a story at all.  This is supposed to be the first installment of a trilogy, but it lacks the climax and denouement of a standalone novel.  There is no resolution, which leads me to conclude that the story will not be resolved until book three.  With that being said, perhaps Ms. Roze would do better to pare down the sex scenes--definitely the most repetitive parts of the story, remove some of the cryptic references to what happened in Olivia's past, provide some actual back story to her relationship with Nick including details about the accident from which he presumably saved her, and make this one single novel, one complete story.  I suspect it might even be a good one.
