Goodreads rating - 4.0/5 
My rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 

Genre - Mystery, Historical Fiction.

This is a steamy, emotionally charged romance that expertly blends tension, heartache, and unexpected love. Killian Barclay, a brooding Scot with a reputation for reckless living, is introduced as a man who has shut himself off from love and intimacy. His notorious lifestyle has pushed him into the spotlight of his family’s concerns, leading to a surprising proposal: enter a marriage of convenience with Sylvie Devereaux, a tough New Yorker with her own set of emotional scars. The premise sets the stage for a battle of wills, but as the two collide, the chemistry between them is undeniable, turning their arrangement into something much more complicated.

Sylvie, with her hardened exterior and deep-seated trust issues, is a fascinating character—her tough persona is a defense mechanism built from years of neglect and abandonment. As she navigates her forced proximity to Killian, the vulnerability beneath her armor slowly begins to show. The slow-burn tension between Sylvie and Killian is what truly drives Keep Me, with both characters wrestling with their emotional baggage and the growing connection they can’t ignore. Their interactions are sharp, layered, and, at times, devastatingly tender, making their journey toward mutual understanding and love all the more rewarding.

What sets Keep Me apart is its exploration of what happens when love creeps into a situation that was meant to be temporary and transactional. The story delves deep into the complexities of guilt, trust, and the possibility of redemption. Killian’s dark past and his struggle with his own emotional walls make him a compelling anti-hero, and Sylvie’s inner turmoil adds depth to their relationship. By the end, Keep Me is more than just a marriage of convenience; it’s a story of two broken people finding healing in each other. Sara Cate crafts a passionate, emotionally gripping romance that lingers long after the final page.
