Yours to Keep is a romantic story about two people, who never thought that one incident would brought them together and eventually found themselves falling in love...all over again. This book took me by surprise because when I chose this one to be my next read, I didn't know what to expect. I just opened my Kindle App, clicked this one and just hoped for the best. And thank God I did, because I really, really loved this story. It's surprisingly amazing. The fact that I couldn't put it down even if it was already 2am and I have to wake up early and go to work, is enough for me to say that this book is utterly amazing. A real page-turner from start to finish.Well, at first, it started quite slow for me but as I kept on flipping through the pages, I just couldn't let it go without finishing it. This book is phenomenal. The story line is genuinely refreshing, pacing and dialogues are well-polished and the character development is well-thought of. The author did an exceptional job with the character dynamics in the story that I really felt each one of them grew up on me and felt connected with them especially the main protagonists - Ana, Dr. Ethan and Theo. The rest of the supporting characters, Ana's siblings - Ricky and Cara, Ethan's brother - James, and even Ricky's goon - Ernie, added depth into the story and made it more entertaining. Loved the comic banters that really put a smile on my face. The angst level in this book is enough to put my stomach in knots and make me edgy, afraid that Ethan & Ana would give up fighting for their relationship and allow other people to break them apart. This book did a number on me, made me anxious and squirming on my seat the entire time I was reading it because like all other hopeless romantics out there, I just want them to have a HEA. If you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about.Yours to Keep is a real treat. I absolutely recommend this book to everyone who loves second chances, soul-mates and a fairytale story with a HEA. Suffice to say, that this book shouldn't be missed. Serena Bell is a gifted story teller who has a way with words that would keep any reader enthralled from beginning to end. Actually, this is her first book that I've read but I know this won't be my last. I'd definitely be looking out for her next books. This book is a testament to her writing skills, a book that definitely made it on my fave list and with amazing characters such as Ana and Ethan, who are unforgettable characters and worth re-reading in the future.Heart-warming. Romantic. Realistic. Worth-Every-Page-kinda Story.Thank you Loveswept Romance on Net Galley for this wonderful opportunity.
