Keeping You (Until Him/Her, #12.5)
Aurora Rose Reynolds
Having been put through the ringer by her ex who was a perpetual cheater and master manipulator, Bridgett doesn’t have much faith in men. Then Noah comes into her life, a guy unlike any man she’s ever known. Not only is he dependable, kind, and honest, he’s too hot for his own good. Not that any of that matters since Bridgett is still technically married, and Noah has made it clear without words that he’s not interested. So what’s the worst that could happen when there’s a fire and he offers her a place to crash until she can get back on her feet? Protecting those in need comes with his job as a police officer, so Noah’s not surprised by his need to protect Bridgett. The feelings of possessiveness when it comes to her are not something he knows how to deal with. Noah knows he should keep her at arm’s length, but instead of putting distance between them he keeps finding ways to bring them closer together and he’s not sure if she will ever be close enough.

This was a good novella. Better than a few of ARR's full books I've read lately in my opinion. Bridgett started to get on my nerves in the beginning but turned out to be a cool character. I do feel that she was WAY too lenient on her ex. If he didn't sign a prenup, then she should have gone for that. Don't struggle to prove a point. Along with that, she should have put him in jail for putting his hands on her.
Another man that should have had something said to him was her brother. I haven't read Until May, but her brother Aiden sounded like a tool. He wasn't really there for his sister because of how he thought she was. His girlfriend treated her better than he did.
I did really enjoy the relationship between her and Noah. Even though he had prejudiced thoughts against her, he still looked out for her. He took the time to get to know her. He treated her better than her family. I love how he protected her! Their mutual pining while living together was so addicting to read about.
All in all, I enjoyed Keeping You. The romance was done well and I enjoyed the story.
